They Were Forming Opinions.

The club was full. Evening papers
were at premium. An atrocious crime
had been that day committed, and ev-
cry member was reading the account
of the tragedy and eagerly discussing
the details.
A foot had been found In the East
river, leg in the Hudson and the trunk
of body In the park. Loud were the
expressions of horror and disgust. Sud-
denly lull came over the crowd, and
two small voices were heard above the
modified din discussing the law of hui
man nature which made people lean
toward curiosity even in its morbid
tendency. The small voices grew louder
and the argument stronger, until at
last man in tones of undisguised pity
turned to the disputants and said:
$50 you think we are filed with NOR
bid curiosityT'
One Of the small voices replied that
II looked very much as II that was the
case.
Nothing of the kind" expostulated
the former speaker. "You mistake our
motive. We are merely disqualifying
ourselves for jury duty"
The men with the small voices imme-
diately seised the only two newspapers
and devoured them with avidity.-New
York Herald.

KipIing and the Bus Owner.

After leaving Vermont Rudyard Kip
ling bought a place In the little Eng
lish village of Nottingham, and In his
garden were some beautiful trees One
of these trees, branching over the
road, threatened daily injury to the
driver of the local bus. Therefore he
and his conductor waged destructive
war on all the vulnerable twigs within
reach from the bus roof. Result: A
vigorous letter of complaint from Mr..
Kipling to the bus owner, who is also
landlord of one of the local inns.
That evening the landlord laid the
letter before the select company of the
bar parlor. They advised an attitude
of calm Indifference. Also Cr9sus
among them offered $3.50 in cash for
the autograph letter. Both advice and
cash were accepted.
The nuisance continuing, In due
course a second and stronger letter
followed the first. The landlord con-
vened another bar parliament, and the
second letter also found a buyer, this
time at So, as befitted its increased
violence. And Boniface again ''sat
tight" To him next day entered Mr..
Kipling, briskly wrathful. "Why
didn't answer your letters, sir? Why,
/ was hoping you'd send me fresh
one every day. They pay deal better
than bus driving"
