ByIes on Bills.

Among the humorous memories con-
nected with English judges is one of
Justice Byles and his horse. This en-
inent jurist was well known in his
profession for his work on Bills" and
as this gave fine opportunity for al
liberation his associates were accus-
toned to bestow the name on the
horse, which was but sorry steed
"There goes Byles on Bills" they took
pleasure in saying. and as the Judge
rode out every afternoon they indulged
daily in their little joke. But the truth
was that the horse had another name.
known only to the master and his man.
and when Il too curious client inquired
as to the Judges whereabouts he was
told by the servant. with Il clear con-
science. that master was out on Bust

Candy and the Flag.

The following is accredited to the
late Senator HOar: At a Fourth of July
celebration in a Canadian town where
both English and American guests
were assembled the flags of the two
countries were used in decorations. A
frivolous young English girl, loyal to
the queen, but with no love for the
stars and stripes. exclaimed: "Oh,
what a silly looking thing the Ameri-
can flag is! 1t suggests nothing but
checkerberry candy" YES" replied
Senator Hoar. the kind of candy that
has made everybody sick who ever
tried to lick it,
