HAD CONSIDERED THE POINT.
Juryman's Explanation Somewhat Of a
Joke on Judge.

A lawyer in the western part of
Massachusetts having a rather des-
perate case to defend, called the
courts attention to the wording of
the statute, empowering the jury to
Judge of the law as we'll as of the
facts" and requested him to instruct
accordingly. The judge somewhat re.
|iuCtantiy did so, adding, however, that
the jurymen should accept his inter
probation of the principles involved
unless they were fully satisfied that
they knew more law than he did.
In spite of this, an outrageous yer
iict was brought in, utterly contrary
70 the instructions of the judge, who
severely rebuked the jurors.
The foreman, a horny-handed farm
or, rose to reply. "Jedge," said he,
weren't we to jedge the law as well
as the facts?'

Marry Postal Authorities.

Because the postal administration
has imposed a duty of five pfenniGs
instead of two on postal cards intend
ed for urban delivery, the citizens OF
Hanover have inaugurated a singular
strike against the postal authorities.
Instead of writing postal cards, they
all write letters, and, not satisfied
with sending their illusions in an en-
velope, they fill it with newspaper so
as to bring the weight of the letter TO
the maximum of $50 grams. AS the
envelopes they now use are of the
maximum size tolerated 1t is easy TO
obstruct a letter box with only a doz-
en- of such missives. The postal au'
thorities are alarmed at this obstruc.
ton OF the postal service, and 1t 10
probable that the former tariff of two
pfennigs on postal cards will have to
be reestablished.

People of all ages love to %celebrats

pecially adapted to children between
the ages of eight and II. If not more
than a dozen guests are invited, ask
them to supper and send them all
home promptly at nine o'clock.
On the little pumpkin-shaped cards
besides the hour and date write:
This season of the year is to the
Brownies heart most dear" Have a
pumpkin centerpieCe filed with fruit
and a ring of little Brownie figures
around it, one for each child. Light
the rooms with jack-olanterns and
serve a simple supper of crcamed
chicken, baked potatoes, egg salad
with crackers, cocoa, with little indi-
vidual pumpkin pies. Let them bob
for apples, burn nuts and have a sup
ply of pop corn. Tell them harmless
ghost stories and give a description Of
how halloween originated and how
the day is celebrated in other
tries. 1t is surprising how interested
children are in facts and the many
legends pertaining to this interesting
time are all fascinating. If not too
