Governor PennypaCker Of Pennsylvania (
was, before his election, judge IN the |
A ruling of his in a certain case was /
once disputed by a wrong-headed young 4
lawyer, who SAID, Wnsn the Juuse re-
manned firm against all his argument:
We'll, sir, if that's law, III so home /
and burn my books"
Hadn't you better, said the judge, !
"go home and read them?"
Judge oliver wendell Holmes told the |
other day an anecdOte of his father, the |
noted poet and physician. Judge Holmes /
said that prolific young novelist, whose !
works are now very popular once con- !
suited his father regarding his health.
Perhaps, the young man said, after
narrating his symptoms" perhaps 1
write too much for my constitution
Not for your constitution Lr.
Holmes corrected him. 'For your repu-
tation-'
George AIDE attended recently a dinner
of theatrical people in Boston The stage
/ folks sang songs and told stories. but
/ Mr.. AIDE who is very quiet and retiring,
would neither sing nor speak: He was
/ he said, no good at anything Of that kind
Finally, though. the calls for Mr.. AIDE
! became too vehement. The young man
l had TO yield. He rose and said;
! II will tell you of an excellent trick IN
parlor magic You take a tumbler and
fill it twO-thrds full of filtered water.
! Then you insert in the water a lump of
| sugar and a spoon, and you begin to stir
/ In a few minutes the sugar will become
! invisible"
Then he sat down and resumed his
coffee.
! Ever since Sir Gilbert Parker became
| a member of the British parliament, ne
/ has been forced to work at a double pace
/ to keep up with the demand for his 1T
/ erary products. In person Sir Gilbert IS
/ of lower middle height, with keen. light
/ eyes. and is alert in manner nOtWlIn-
| standing a certain substratum of Brit
! ish reserve, which only serves TO cover
"a western spirit of enterprise and unlyer-
/ salty. After a recent session OF parma
ment he was hurrying to his home IN
/ Carlton House terrace, London, to com
| plete some literary work. he was thlnk-
\ Ing what he most needed was time, more
time-iongeT days and longer hours. AS
he FASTENED through park ne nouced
I the groups Of idle men that filled the
! benches. Approaching several men, ne
"You men seem to have a lot of time
/ that YOU do not know what to DO WITH
! Now I am a busy man and need more
| hours in every day and more days IN
every week to complete the work I have
! mapped out II any Of you can possibly
/ devise a scheme whereby I can buy for
cash some of your idle hours, Just call
on me. I often wonder that so many
men are weighed down with time IndL
they have no use for.
With that Sir Gilbert pulled one of his
cards from his pocket. left 1t with the
group and walked away.
II General Wilson S. Bissell Of Buffalo
who was seriously i'll in August and IS
/ now recovering, conducted at one time a
partnership in law with Grover Cleveland.
Mr. Cleveland during this partnership,
frequently went hunting and fishing, and
would never fail, on n, his I3, return to SEND

saThank YOU for the fish. my boy. re-
