Judge Peabody's Irate Client.

Some years ago the husband of an
Irish lady in Portland, Maine, found
himself in difficulty, requiring the ser.
vices of an attorney. So the wife.
who managed affairs, went to lead
ing concern which she'd employed be-.
fore, only to find it had been secured
by the other side. Inquiring who
she'd better employ, Lawyer Peabody,
now a justice Of the supreme judicial
court of Maine, was recommended. He
was engaged, but the opposite party
won. &
A few days later an acquaintance,
referring to her misfortune, asked
the lady II she had counsel.
Yes, I did" she emphatically re-
piled. 81 had Paybody, and I might

Infants Remarkable Esca,e.

Whatever the reason, there Is no
disputing that infants live after mis-
haps which would have meant certain
death to older folks. Whenever there
is a big accident which has involved
great loss Of life, one nearly always
reads Of the remarkable escape OF
many children.

A curious bit of English history is
preserved in the word ."tawdry." 1t

the phrase "tawdry laces" a corrup'
ton of "St. Audrey laces." sold at st.
Audrey's fair, which was the same as
st. Ethelreda's fair. Ethelreda was

Mans Weakness in Separation from

A man Is but cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he Is cut off from his
fellows. Their lis something in the
solidarity of the human race which
cannot be accounted for in the sum
total of all the individuals. Separa-
ton from the mass involves a mighty
loss OF power in the individual, just
as there is loss of cohesion and ad-
hesion involved in the separation of
the molecules and atoms of the dia.
mond. The value of the gem is in the
close contact, the compactness, and
the concentration Of the particles
which compose it. The moment they
are separated its value is gone. So
strong, effective man gets a large

We do not agree with Mr.. Williams

Another highly merltorious feature In
