chow that he spent $4,000 for liquors
alone during his term of eight years.
says writer In the Home Magazine
When we take into consideration tho
fact that glasses ciinked merrily
around the cabinet table as well rs
the dining table. and that an open
buffet was kept for all callers, this
amount is not surprising. Notwith'
standing the low prices. Jefferson
often spent as high as $50 on his
small dinners. wine list not included.
and he was most particular about his
wines and brandies.
Jenorson's state dinners were usual

STORIES OF SCOTCH JUDGES.
induIged In Levity When Human Life
Was at Stake.

Lord Salvesen in an address at
human life was held very cheap and
judges frequently INDUCED in levity
when life was at stake.
On one occasion Sir Francis Bacon
was nightly importuned" by male
factor to save his life. All appeals
failed and the culprit at length
pleaded for mercy on account OF his
kindred Your name" said he, 'is
Bacon and my name is Hog. and in
all ages Hog and Bacon are so nearly
kindred that they are not to be sepa'
rated" aye. but" replied the Judge,
''you and | cannot be kindred except
you be hanged. for Hog is not Bacon
until II be well hanged"
Similar callousness was evinced by
Scottish judges even as late as the
18th century. Lord Braxheld seemed
to have taken positive pleasure in
obtaining convictions in cases and II
was he who told an unfortunate cul
prit that he was very clever fellow
but that he would be name the waur
O. n hanging"
On another occasion. when this
Judge noticed n juryman who was
personal friend entering the court he
exclaimed Come ava Mister. come
ava, and help me to hang few o
they damned scoondrels."
In 1870 Lord Kaimes presided nj
the trial OF n man named Matthew
Hay. with whom he had been in the
habit OF playing at chess. He summed
up against tho prisoner and when ae
was convicted exclaimed. That's
