"Well, no, Judge Holmes wasn't a
lawyer by profession" admitted Mr..
Flanders, "but he was one by consent
of the neighborhood. He was a weaver
by trade, and made good pay In the
Chester mills. 'Twasn't till he was well
along that he come up here to New
Hampshire and bought the Hobbs place

Mr.. Flanders hand sought his strag'
Cling white beard. "Ye-s," he said, af-

case of Hi Savage's cat. 1t was a tor
toise-shell, and HIS family set an awful
lot by 1t. One morning Hi found it dead
down along by his spring, and he de-
clared that Hen Eaton's dog killed 1t.
They was both pretty hot-tempered,
and they had 1t back and forth for some
time. Finally we got 'em to lay the case
before the Judge"
YES" said the visitor, encouragingly.

on the common with some of his cron-
ies," continued Mr.. Flanders, ''but he
was soon sitting In his old leather chair,
and pretty nigh all the village crowded
into his little Office.

had to say; he twisted twice round, then
he laid his head back in that chair.
Hen says he, 1t is highly cartilaginous

what he said, inside o. ten minutes!'
The visitor wondered whether this
high-sounding judgment meant a heavy
fine or Jail and hard labor, but he said,
I'm not familiar with technical
phrases. Just what did the Judge
mean?"
"I don't know that myself" said Mr..
Flanders, frankly. "We never picked
any of his verdicts to pieces. But every
: body understood that it was for Hi and
against Hen, so HI went right out and
mopped Hen all over Sanborn's medder

WHEN o WENT ]

Twas on n day like this, dear Heart,
You went away,
Though spring, a chill was In the air.
The sky was gray.
The earth before that sad, sad time
Had scattered light
And left the fragrant meadows green
In but q night.
But ON the day you went, deal Heart,
A breath of snow
Eel from the whitening beard of time
A tSudder woe
Withered the joy within my life
And left il gray.
And made me od with sadness, when
You went away.
| cannot now be brave, dear Heart;
The sadness still
Speaks to me in m%ournful whispers
From wood and hill;
On the sky the autumn shadows
Trail their gray
The sun can't shine, until to you

There was q certain man who thought
the world vas growing worse. He was
always barking back to "the good old
times" and was sure that the human
race was degenerating. Men, he said,
were all trying to cheat one another;
the strong were crushing the weak.
One day when he was airing his pessim-
lstic views, the calf said to him:
II charge you hereafter to look care
fully about you, and whenever you see
any man do a worthy deed go to him
and give him praise, or write to him
about it. Whenever you meet a man
whom you regard as worthy to have
lived in the good old days tell him of
your esteem and of the pleasure you
have had In finding one so exalted, and
l desire that you write out an account
OF these good deeds for NE that pax
share your JOY in Knowing of it.
So the man was dismissed; but before
many days he returned and Frustrated
himself before the calf. When ordered
to explain his presence, he walled:
"Have pity on thy servant and re-

from the duty of reporting to thee all
the good that is going on in the world"
"And why, o slave, dost thou come
to me with this prayer" the calf
asked.
"Since l have been looking for what
is good" the man replied, Il have had
no time to do aught but compliment
men for their splendid works. So
much that is glorious is all around me

thee half of it. My tasks lie neglected
