Many years ago there lived in Cam.

and Judge Thayer. The doctor had
occasion TO sue man, and. of course.
employed his neighbor. the Judge, as
counsel After a session of court he
met the Judge and asked about his
case. The judge said 1t was contin-
ued. Meeting him again. after anoth-

about his case. the same answer was
given.
As II cost 81 or So each time II

BAKERS DOZEN.
How the Extra Tale Of Numbers
Arose.


Some persons. including a few en-
cyclopaedists, says the New York Tri-
bune. are inclined to think that the
bakers dozen originated when heavy
fines were considered necessary to
counterbalance light weights and tho
bakers. in Older 20 insure full weight.
took the precaution to add an addi-
tional unit. Some have called Il the
DEVILS dozen, because thirteen was the
number witches who used to ride their
broomstlcks in the 'Black Mass" OF
Satan. The bakers great book in the
Astor library had another story OF its
origin:
Jan Peterson. of Amsterdam was q
good churchman, but nevertheless he
was afraid Of being bewltched On the
last night of 1864 he sat in his bake
shop trying to keep out the evil spirits
by printing himself with a glass Of
good spirits. Sales had been brisk.
There We're no customers in the shop
Tor the moment. and he sat back. med
itating on the gains he would make
on the morrow, when the fresh New
Years cakes were put on sale. He was
startled by a sudden rap. An ugly
woman pushed open the door.
Give me dozen of New Year
cookies" she cried in a shrill voice.
The shrillness Of her voice did not
mean anything to his slow mind. 1t
only annoyed him.
"Well, then, you needn't speak so
loud said Jan. "f'm not deaf - "
"a DOZEN" she screamed. "Give
me dozen. Here are only twelve. 3"
