20, Learned and Upright Judge" !"

Representative Dinsmore, of Arkansas,
tells of rural justice of the peace in that
State who was approached by a man de-
string divorce, says Golfers Weekly.
The justice was in a quandary. Calling
the bailiff to his side, he whispered:
"What's the law on this p'int?"
"You can't do it," was the reply, "it's
out of your jurisdiction"
The husband observing the cons,llta-
ton between the two officials, anxiously
interjected: "Tm willing to pay well; got
the money right here in this sock"
At this the justice assumed his gravest
judicial air. Adjusting his spectacles, he
said:
"You know'd before you came here
that 'twarnt for me to separate husband
and wife; and yet you not only take up
the valuable time Of this here court with
yo' talkin' but you actually perpose to
bribe me with money! Now, how much
you got in that sock?"
"'Bout $3.50, yo' honah hw
call right! Then I fine you S. for
bribery and dollar and half for takin'
up my time with a case outer my juris-
diction, and may the Lord have mercy on
your soul?"

At the Opera House.

On Dec. 90 the Peruchi- -Gypzene Com
pany will present "a Midnight Marriage
at the Bamberg opera house. This play
is sensational drama, but has been con-
structed Oh original lines with touch of
real humor that is at all times refreshing.
This accounts for the fact that it is one Of
the greatest successes of the stage at the
present time. Everywhere it is greeted
as masterpiece of realism. Its story is
Interestingly told, while the comedy that
is interspersed in liberal quantities lends
a brightness and cheerfulness that is all
its own. 1t blends sentiments, heroics,
comedy and picturesqueness in the most
skillful fashion. Close attention has been
paid to all the details and the production
can appropriately be called complete in
every respect.

was grasping the handle, and was ready
to shoot on the second. These pistols shot
with terrific force and would knock dowr
