Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1902-11-29
Some British LnMm q ding

II may surprise some folks to learn
that plenty of British laws have been
drawn up so carelessly and written In
such muddled language that they are
quite useless for their intended pur-
pose.
One Of the acts passed In George
Ills reign. for instance, states that
the proceeds of penalties were to be
given half to the infOrmer and half to
the poor of the parish. The absurdity
lies in the fact that the only penalty
which could be inflicted was one Of
transportation for fourteen years.
In 1868 Il well known Q. c. created
lot of amusement by proposing an
amendment worded as follows: Every
dog found trespassing on inclosed land
unaccompanied by the registered own
er of such dog or other person, who
shall on being asked for his true name
and address may be then and there
destroyed by such occupier or by his
orders" This gem Of meanlnglessness
was, however, not passed.-London Tit
Bits.

Girls Help Walters to Cheat.

Among hotel employees sex does not
appear to make any difference SO far
as honesty is concerned, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Certain young women
who act as checkers In hotels work
with certain walters. Whenever one OF
the girls obtains a position the men
soon follow her, and the hotel proprie-
tor is victimized accordingly. The wait-

NOD Served For Breakfast.
1t is within the memory OF many
people that the custom Of schOolteach-
ers boarding around was the usual
thing In country districts. Although
a custom which teachers seldom liked,
1t is doubtful If many Of them had as

who described his experience in the

was to receive SIS a month and his
board.

I was at board on speculation and at
the mercy OF close calculation, he
writes. One day the whole dinner con-
sisted of a single dumping. which
they called a pudding, and five sau-

size of pipestems. There were five of
us at table.
A few days afterward, on my return
from; school, my eyes were delighted
by the sight of an animal had never
seen before 1t was raccOon, which
the young man, Jonathan, had killed
and brought home in triumph. When
skinned, he seemed to be one entire
mass of fat and of a most delicate
whiteness. l was overJOyed and went
to bed early to dream Of delicious
steaks which the morrow would bring.
Long before daylight l heard the
family stirring, and the alacrity Of
quick footsteps and the repeated open

l was soon ready for breakfast, and
when seated at table | observed that
the place of Jonathan was vacant.
"Where is Jonathan" l asked.
"Gone to market" said they.
Market! What market. pray? l
did not know there was any market
in these parts"
ooh, yes" they said, "he is gone to
-, about thirty miles to the south
ward Of us"
"And what has called him up so
early to go to market?"
"He is gone" said they, ITO sell his
raccoon."
