Not Ready to Seize Customs.
London, Dec. 13-In connection with
the reported seizure of the Ven
ezuelan CUSTOMS the foreign Office of.
ficials say arrangements for that step
have not been completed. Before any
general seizure would occur, Germany,
Great Britain and other nations would
have to come to an agreement for q
pro rrata division and adjustment of
their respective claims, similar to that
arrived at by the allies in China, ex-
cept that the La Guayra custom house
may have possibly been seized as a
purely military measure. Though the
seizure of the custom house will take
place eventually. it is pointed out that
while hostilities are in progress, the
customs as a fiscal institution are
practically valueless.

Only One Blockhead Left

Conversation became reminiscent at
the Lawyers club, the other day, the
late Judge James T. Brady being the
subject. A veteran practitioner, who
knew him well, said:
"Brady's first attempt at practicing
law was in very humble quarters, in
the rear Of a cobbler's shop in Fulton
street, near William. One day an
Irishman who called and inquired for
the cobbler, was told by Brady that he
was out. Peering about the room of
the newly-fledged lawyer, scantily fur
nished with two implanted chairs and
deal table, he inquired:
{" I say, boss. what do you sell here?'
"'Blockheads," promptly replied Mr..
Brady.
"'Humph!' said the Irishman, must
be doing good business, as see you
have only one left. New York
