He Believed the Boy,

A Judge was explaining to a young
student friend the intricacies Of evi-
dence. He illustrated we'll the case Of
conflicting evidence when the
statements of two witnesses are op,
posed the more probable statement Is
to be accepted.
Usually in conflicting evidence" he
said, zone statement is far more proba-
BILE than the other, SO that we can de-
eide easily which to believe. It is like
the boy and the house hunter. A house
hunter, getting off a train at sub
urban station. said to boy:
my boy, I am looking for Mr..
Smithson's new block of semidetached
cottages. How far are they from here
About a twenty minutes walk the
boy replied.
Twenty minutesv exclaimed the
house hunter. 'Nonsense! The adyer-
tisement says fve'
WELL said the boy, you can be.
lieve me or you can believe the adver-
tisement, but l amt tryin' to make no
sale.' '"-Cincinnati Enquirer.

A n;Sh of Tea

In reference to note about a "dish
Of tea," it may be mentioned that
"dish" throughout the eighteenth CEN
tury was colloquialism for cup. In
fashionable houses at first, and for
long, tea was drunk from cup with
out handle brought from China. The
vessel was termed dish. When the
Chinese cup was first copied by Eng
lish potters, the convenience of a han
die was added. The saucer also was
brought from China. 1t received the
name because Of its resemblance to
the English saucer, a platter in which
sauce was served. The familiar gibe,
saucer eyes," was originally inspired
by the sauce saucer long before Lord
Arlington gave the first tea party in
England in Arlington House, where
Buckingham palace stands, at the Res
toration period.-London Chronicle.

Senate and Lords.

The British house of lords Is sur
vival Of the ancient aristocracy of the
kingdom, which for long time was
supreme in all national matters. When
the democratic sentiment won a place
for itself in the shape of the house Of
commons the natural and apparently
indestructible conservatism Of the Brit
ish people held on to the house of lords
as a check upon the commons and a
perpetual reminder Of the ancient insti-
tuition. The senate of the United States
was the result of the compromise
struck between the Nationalists and
States Rights parties in the convention
that formed the constitution. Some
were for merging the representatives
In a single body, while others insisted
upon the second chamber (the senate)
as recognition Of the political equality
Of the states.

The Injured One.

A gentleman owning a sugar estate
In Demerara went out to visit it for
the first time. The day after his arrival
he stood watching the punts bringing
the cane home. A young negro boy
who was driving the mules, wishing to
increase the speed Of them, struck one
Of them with his whip. The mule
promptly responded by launching out
with his heels and dealt the boy kick
on the head which stretched him on
the ground, where he lay rubbing his
woolly pate on the spot where the kick
had been received.
"Is he hurt? Is he hurt?" cried the
planter in alarm. A full grown negro,
hearing the expressions Of concern,
sprang forward hastily and, raising the
mules heels, shouted out:
"No, boss! That mule him walk
tendah TO- day or two, but him no
hurt!'-Chambers' Journal.

A DANGEROUS Eeat

For feat of dexterity and nerve it
would be difficult to surpass that of
the Bosjesman of South Africa, who
walks quietly up to puff adder and
deliberately sets his bare foot on its
neck. In it's struggles to escape and
attempts to bite it's assailant the poi
son gland secretes large amount Of
the venom. This Is just what the
Bosjesman wants. Killing the snake,
he eats the body and uses the poison
for his arrows.

Making Purchases at

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, July 29.-Following
the sensation created by the charges
made by j. d. Bumiller against Trus-
tee H. c. Mayer before the board OF
trustees on Tuesday, the fact is de-
veloped that, though technically guilty,
Mayer is innocent as to intent. Inc
trustee owns the only hardware store
in Ocean Park and employees in the
city engineers office naturally ran in
to secure small lots of hardware and
materials needed to repair city ma
chinery, as had been done before Mr..
Mayors election as a trustee. Just
as naturally the clerks in the hard
ware store charged the same to the
city, neither party considering whether
any statute had been broken or not.
It cannot be ascertained whether the
charges will be pressed or not; but
Mr. Mayer declares his innocence of
any intentional wrong. In fact, he
says that the sales of merchandise
were entirely unsolicited and that the
fact of his being in a peculiar situa-
ton in regard to the law had never
dawned upon him until the moment
the charges were filed.
