STORIES or SCOTCH JUDGES.
Induioed In Levlty When Human Life
Was At Stake.

Lord Salvesen in an address at
Edinburgh recalled the old days when
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 l cannot be kindred except
you be hanged. for Hog is not Bacon
until 1t be well hanged"
Similar callousness was evinced by
Scottish judges even as late as the
18th century. Lord Braxfield seemed
to have taken a 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. hanging" frt
On another occasion. when this
Judge noticed juryman who was &
personal friend entering the court he
exclaimed: Come ava Mister, CONF
AVA. and help me to hang few o
they damned scoondrels."
In 1870 Lord Kaimes presided at
the trial of man named Matthew
Hay, with whom he had been in the
habit Of playing at chess. He summed
up against the prisoner and when he
was convicted exclaimed, That's
checkmnte to you, Matthew"

An Easy Matter.

The man was playing euchre with
the latest belle of the Mountain house,
while his bride of three months was

her fingers with piece of embroid-

Suddenly the husband turned toward
the wife with patroniAIng air.

As They Each Saw II.

Two women met on the street cor
ner on cold day, when the wind was
playing havoc with skirts and tresses.
The first had her head tied up in two
wells and several yards of fur were
wrapped about her neck On her feet
were fine spun silk stockings and lit
tie patent leather pumps. The other
wore a big, floppy hat, with no veil.

JUDGE Didn't Want rh.m.

The late Chief Justice Doe of New

for deafness in quick succession

the soundness Of their excuse.
The clerk OF court suggested to the

part OF one or both.

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
Probability That Temperance Will Be
Taught in British Schools.

Rt. Hon. Augustine Birrell, M. P,
cation, received large and important
deputation of medical men at the edu-
cation office at Whitehall recently.
The deputation presented a memoran'
dunn, the chief points of which were
these: Cd The necessity for recasting
the general science teaching, so that
the principles of hygiene and temper
ance can be embodied in the curricu-
lum without constituting a new sub
ject; (2) the teaching of hygiene and
temperance in all training colleges,
and to all student teachers; 60 the
inclusion of hygiene and temperance
among the subjects concerning which
the inspectors must report.
AS regards these three points, and
speaking generally, Mr.. Birrell was
sympathetic. He could hardly be
otherwise, he said, because the new
code for which he is responsible, en-
joins the teaching of health and tenn
perance under the head of moral in
struction. Mr.. Birrell has rooted OBJ
lection to jargon, in all it's forms.
"The thing is,' he assured the deputa-
tion, ito avoid technicalities, to avoid
all the jargon, and to make children
see that health and temperance are
things that can be taught in simple
language, without repulsive and long
words"

he was at particular feud with one of

Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very

WHY A TOWN LOST OUT.
Saloons From Business Mans Point
of View.

Fitzgerald, Ga, town of 1000 pop.
ulation not long ago sought to become
the location of the new building and
repair shops of the Atlantic & Birm.
ingham railway. The town was pc.
culiarly adapted to the needs of such
an industry, but the railroad officials
refused to consider 1t because of the
existence of six saloons, experience
having taught them that labor was
more reliable in dry" territory. Last
April 1000 conductors and motormen
Of the United Railways of st. Louis,
Mo-, were notified by their employers
that frequenting of saloons would sub.
ject them to instant dismissal. The
United Mine Workers of America have
shut out both saloonists and bartend-
ers from membership in the organiza-
ton. These are but few of many
instances which may be cited to illus.
trate the growing feeling against the
saloon from business standpoint.

Wonder Of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert of Sonora,
in Mexico, and since then it has been
kept-without watering-in strange
climate 5000 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks of rain in the des-
eft the plant grows it's leaves and
towers and perfects its seed. Then
h dries up and leaves only a water
filed gourd, which thick, hard she'll
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season of six
weeks. It wakes, sends out rootlets,
stems and leaves, and then dries up
again until the following year.

Or. roRREYs TESTIMONY.
Why the Great Evangelist Signed the
Pledge. -,-

want to tell you how 1 signed the
pledge. l was preacher, but l didn't
believe in total abstinence. Going out
to preach one summer, l went into
town and found temperance revival
going on, and wished I had not come.
They were going to have a temperance
meeting that night. They said to me:
"Of course you will speak at the meet
ing" had never been inside one, for
l had convinced myself that l didn't
believe in total abstinence. What
should l do? 1 thought it over; ]
prayed over It; l spent almost the
whole day in prayer. / prayed II
through and it became as clear as day
that il for nothing more than my in
huence ought to take my stand and
sign the pledge.
l went down to the meeting, and a
speaker delivered his little speech.
Then he said: Everybody in the
room who has never signed the pledge
stand up!" An old drunkard, lady
and myself were the only ones in the
building who stood up. AS far as the
lady was concerned, she was good
looking, and I didn't feel in bad com.
pany, but when I looked at that old
soaker l felt in dreadfully bad com.
pany. 1 went up and l signed the
pledge. The lady walked up, and she
signed the pledge. She is here tonight.
She is my wife now. That was the
first time ever saw her. She was II
and l was 20. The old drunkard
came up and signed the pledge, too.
Men and women, l want to repeat
what l said the other night: If you
can get along just as we'll without the
drink, sign the pledge for your broth
er's sake. If you can't get along just
as we'll without 1t, sign the pledge for
your own sake.

Ped. Rouoh. Rlotchy Skin

is usually the result of using cheap,
impure soap made from stale fat and
alkali cheaply perfumed to disguise
the real odor. A good soap costs so
little that there is no excuse for buy
ing the other kind. Buchan's Anti
septic soap is not only pure, but it is
the only soap that is guaranteed un-
der the new law. Moreover, it con-
tains an antiseptic which protects the
skin against disease. Ask your deal
