Forty-nine years ago died two near
r~elatiyes-in the legal profession-of
the celebrated Mrs. Harris"-John
Doe and Richard Roe. For centuries
their connection with landed property
had been extensive and peculiar. If
Smith wished to eject Jones, Smith be-
came John Doe. the plaintiff. and Jones
vas compelled to join ia the legal
comedy by becoming Richard Roe, the
defendant. Those names we're also
inserted in criminal proceedings as
pledges to prosecute. A curious incl
dent happened at the trial, In 1924,
Of Louis Houssart for the murder Of
his wife. Among other pleas in bar
to and abatement Of the proceedings,
he pleaded that there we're no such
persons as John Doe and Richard Roe. %
TO this 1t was replied that there were
two such persons in M%iddlesex, one q
weaver, the other q soldier, and this
fact was sworn 70. This legal fiction

computed that the oyster must have

NEW YEARS ADVICE


There is a foe that watches
Your comfort TO destroy,
Assuming shapes Of evil
To interrupt your joy;
To keep him at a distance
Should be your purpose true,
So never trouble trouble
TIL trouble troubles your
Each day ne may. remind you
OF sorrow that's in store;
Each day with hints and shadows
Perplex you more and more;
But go not forth to meet him
AS many people do,
And never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you'll"
'Tis time enough to worry
When misery appears:
IT'S time enough for weeping
When there's excuse for tears;
So ever at the fountain
OF prayer your faith renew,
And never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles your
For they who borrow trouble
Are never out Of debt,
Ger every fancied evil
They worry, fume, and fret;
And If you would be happy
Another course pursue,
And never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles your
Anticipating pleasure
May give relief from pain;
Anticipating sorrow
is never any gain;
And If you would be cheerful
In mind and body, too,
Then never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles your

bring me aLothef.' Then Lizzie makes
up a face and 1 have to laugh"
"Well. but Maude," said Estelle, who
was the eldest, that is wrong. The
girl who is hired to wait on the table
should never make faces, no matter
what happens; and you must never
laugh at her again. I am sure Miss
Croker saw you this morning"
but she is fussy," said Ray, "and I
wish she would go home"
Mamma likes her" replied Estelle,
you know she was mammals teacher
once and some one left her a big for
tune and so she stopped teaching"
"And mamma says, too, that she Is
very charitable and gives heaps and
heaps to the poor people" put in Ray.
"Then 1 wish she had bought those

how much she had heard, but she had

Miss Croker. looking over her spec

Yes" very shyly.
"Then," said the lady, "sit down
