The following anecdote is told of
Gen. Gilman MarSton, a once famous
lawyer in NeN Hampshire:
Gen. MarSton was attending court at
Dover when young attorney made a
motion that was denied by the court.
The young man demonstrated against
what he thought was the wrong ruling
of the judge. SO yehemently did he
demonstrate that he was fined SO for
contempt of court. An Older attorney
took the matter up. and he was fined
a similar sum. Still another, who
thought he stood a little better with
the judge. endeavored To straighten the
matter out. but hr. too, enriched the
Golfers of the state by paying a ten
spot" for contempt.
Gen. MarstOn was then seen to rise
in his seat and advance to the clerk \
desk. Taking his long pock-tbook
from his pocket. he took out two SO
bills and laid them on the desk.
What is that for" said the Court

little daughter of the innkeeper put
her hand in the bag and drew a disk
for each specuator in turn. The per-
son whose number was the highest got
the prize.
Well. it had been noticed that the
innkeeper'S wife got the prize pretty
frequently, but nothing was thought uf
this by the simple, honest rural folk.
"One evening. though, the little girl
with her hand in the bag, paused. 1t
was her mothers turn, and she did not
draw forth her mothers disk in her

rummaged about. The other raffiers
