Her Literary Likes.

They had just met; conversation was
somewhat fitful. Finally he decided
to guide it into literary channels,
where he was more at home, and,
turning to his companion, asked, "Are
you fond of literature?"
"Passionately," she replied. Il love
books dearly"
"Then you must admire Sir Walter
Scott" he exclaimed with sudden ami

TWO TYPES OF LAWYERS.
But the Late Judge Thayer Was Of :
Different Kind.

A Philadelphian was praising for his
learning and uprightness the late
Judge M. Russell Thayer.
He quoted the moving passage from
Judge Thayer's will:
sowing to the fact that almost my
entire life has been passed in the pub
lie service of the United States and
of the state of Pennsylvania, l have
but small estate to leave to my dear
children and wife,
Those are different words" he said,
from the kind we have been hearing
lately. 1t seems odd to us to think of
a public servant regarding his post
as anything but a plum tree. We have
here another proof that man really
honorable can never become rich.
Judge Thayer was an honorable
man. First as lawyer, afterwards as
a Judge, he treated all with whom he
had dealings with the greatest fair
ness. Once, years ago, after he had
served me well in difficult case, I
demonstrated with him about the
smallness of his fee.
We'll, he said, smiling, and smell
ing the flower in his buttonhole. I,
you know, am not that type of lawyer
whose client once said
" I never was entirely ruined but
twice. Once when lost lawsuit and
once when gained one.'"

cHARAcrER IN THE roMouE.
cermany's Way Of Skiing People Up
Available Chiefly to Doctors.

Germany has taken up the pastime
of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. Somebody has
been making a study Of the organ Of
speech and has discovered that 1t is
full OF indications.
A long tongue is said to denote
openness of character, 1t suggests gen.
erosity and free handedness. It's pos
SCISSOR makes friends and enemies
easily, but doesn't save money.
When the tongue is long and thick
the openness degenerates into ten
dency to gossip and scandal. The fu-
ture Of the owner is beset with trou-
bles of his own making. 1t also indi-
Gates fiightiness and Inconsistency.
Short tongues indicate secretiveness
and dissimulation. Their owners make
good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some money
by economy and guile, but has not
largeness of spirit to make a great
fortune. Thin pointed tongues are
found in difident people who do not
succeed In life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehood; the person who
has such tongue is compelled by it
to deceive and betray, whatever effort
he may make to keep straight.
The vibrant, quavering tongue de-
notes the artistic temperament. Bril-
liant carmine hue is sign of long
life, pale pink tongue denotes weak
ness Of character and delicacy Of con-
stitution.
IT it's all true" says a German
newspaper, 1T is lucky that it is only
at the doctor and not at our friends
that we stick out our tongues"

ONE POINT HE MISSED.
Lawyer Willing to Admit Error Point.
ed Out BY Judge.

The following amusing incident oc
Cured at the Suffolk probate court at
Boston, over which the venerable
Judge McKim still presides.
The judge enjoys the reputation OF
being most careful, precise and exact
ing, and it is doubtful if ever an er'
ror, clerical, or otherwise, escapes
his watchful eye.
In a recent matter brought to his
attention, the Judge perceived that in
signing an informal. and unimportant
paper, the attorney had failed to dot
an q" in signing his name, and ad
dressed him as follows:
IT see, Mr.. Wright, that you have
not dotted the + in your name, and
consequently you have not signed
your name right" and the Judge gen
tally smiled.
"Your honor" replied the attorney,
he, too. smiling, this is evidently a
point which escaped me-"
