The Widows Doc.

A case was recently tried in a JUS
fiee's court in which a common old
fashioned hound was the subject of
contention. This hound was alleged
to be the best dog after coons in the
neighborhood. Two men claimed
the dog, and each employed an at
torney to assist in the case. At the
trial it developed that the dog be-
longed to q widow residing in the
neighborhood, and the justice gave
the custody OF the dog to the widow
and assessed o fine against each OF
the litisants in the sum Of $40.
They paid the fine, and the justice
gave it to the widow. She then said
that either OF the litigants could
use the dog when he wished, pro
vided that neither of them paid his
lawyer. 1t is reported that the at
torneys are still looking for their
fee.-Columbus Dispatch.

Punishment.

At one time in a certain peniten-
tiary there was a renaissance in the
moral discipline of the prison, and
all were compelled to attend chapel
regularly. One of the prisoners
came to the warden one day and
begged to be allowed to remain
away from the chapel exercises, as
he wanted Sundays to write letters
to bis friends. The warden looked
at the beseeching convict in amaze
ment. "What," he exclaimed, "al-
low you to stay away from religious
exercises all the time! No, sir.
Why, man, don't You, know that's
part of the penalty?" And the con-
Wet continued to worship regularly,
while the warden led in prayer.
