vote upon every question that arises.

lit would be manifestly unfair for one
councilman to have two votes upon a
question While none of the others had
more than one. Now is it not a fact that
the mayor Of a city has no vote unless

Short and Sweet.

Perhaps one Of the shortest court
ships was that of an eminent jurist. He
was on his way to hold court in a
town when he met young woman re-
turning from market.
How deep is the creek and what
did you get for your butter? asked
the judge.
''Up to the knee and ninepence," was
the answer as the girl walked on.
The judge pondered over the sensible
breyity of the reply, turned his horse,
rode back and overlook her.
II liked your answer just now" he
said. land like you. l think you
would make good wife. Will you mar
ry me?"
She looked him over and said, yes"
Then get up behind me, and we will
ride to town and be married"
She did get up behind. and they rode
to the courthouse and were made one.
1t is recorded that, brief though the
courtship had been, the marriage prov
ed pre,eminently happy one.

When Hazen 8. Pingree was


into prominence In Michigan politics,
he was In Washington one night and
strolled through the corridors of VIII
lard's hotel, which he had not visited
since war times. when 1t was the popu-
lar rendezvous of the city, political,
military and otherwise. A friend intro
duced him to Colonel Mosby, the old
guerrilla chieftain.
"Why, hello, colonel" said Pingree In
his bluff. offhanded way. just as II he
was in the habit of meeting Mosby ev-
cry day. 81 have not seen you for %
years. but l remember very well the
last occasion when we met"
All" said the Yirginian politely,
"what incident recalls 1t to your mind ?
l really fail to remember you, much to
my regret"
"Oh, WELL" said Pingree, you would
not be so apt as to remember the day.
l was captured by your men, and, hap
pening to be wearing very good, near
ly new uniform, you confiscated 1t on
the spot and gave me your old ragged
butternuts. But that's all right. All's
fair In love and war, know. Let's
have cigar"
Without a word of protest Mosby ac-
cepted, and long friendly chat fol-
lowed.
