A Mean Tricls

"A lawyer defending promissory
note went to lunch, leaving his books
and citations on the table in the court
room. The opposing counsel sneaked
back into the-roo and changed the
places of all his bookmarks. In the
AFTERNOON the lawyer, taking up his
books, referred the court to his author
tiles. His lordship noted every volume
and page carefully and took the case
under consideration. In rendering his
opinion he said:
was inclined after hearing argu-
ment of counsel for defendant to nom
suit plaintiff, but I find, s:fter referring
sto the@authorities, quoted by counsel,
none Of them bear on this case, and l
am led to think that the gentleman has
.been willfully trying to insult the
court. He has referred me to an ac-
lltion of an Irishman who sued the pro-
prietor OF a, monkey for damages for
biting him, to case Of arson, one Of
burglary. two Of petty larceny and
three divorce cases. none of which
bears on an action TO recover on a
promissory note. Perhaps the gressest
insult to the court is referring to
Duckworth versus Boozyman,' an ae-
tion charging defendant with breach
Of promise. Judgment for plaintiff
with costs"
The lawyer never knew what the
matter was and to this day thinks the
Judge was out Of his mind.-Pearson's

When the: winner has emptied the

the article is too large to put into the

it must be admitted that under the
influence Of blanket, some hot groe
and the fulsome praise Of one or two
of his comrades Jimmie indulged In
some romantic day dreams. He had i

eyes and q brown eyed young man be
Ing very magnanimous. but neverthe
less accepting lifetime devotion in re
turn for cold plunge. Then the eff
fects of the grog wore off. and~Jimmie
shook himself vigorously.
The next morning he stood difident
ly in Miss Thomas presence. Gone
were the blue frock with its lace frills
and the beautiful rose crowned hat. A
very sober, sad eyed young woman
clad in simple gingham dress mur
mured her thanks.
Jimmie shifted from one foot to the
other and tried to hide his embarrass
ment, but when Miss Thomas burs
into tears he forgot differences Of sta
tion and sat down beside her.
"Oh, reckon you won't be any the
worse for the duckfng," he said BY
way of consolation, wishing he could
take the sobbing figure in his arms ant
say something more comforting.

The girl dried her eyes and looked a
him in wonder, but he hardly noticed
her expression. He was thinking
ecstatically that you cannot always tel

And it was not until Jimmie became

The First Glass cupn.

The first glass cups were made at
Alexandria. Some were colored like
Bohemian glass and decorated with
glass pastes, initiating precious stones
and canoes. Some were opaline, 9TH

formed of Opaque layers welded to-
gether like the famous Portland vase,
in which the white upper layer had
been cut away like that Of cameo,
leaving a blue ground around the fig

o1a custom Hnrdel pown.

How many can tell the origin of the
habit of closing the eyes in prayer:
Far back in the past the sun was the
universal object of worship. AS ii

world. AS 1t set in the west he i'm
plored its early return. Flis face was
