A Year 4 speech.

q - : - .
The late Justice Hawkins Of Eng
land was once trying a prisoner for
robbery with violence, and when the
expected verdict of guilty had been
delivered he curtly sentenced the man
to five years penal seryitude.
The prisoner, burly old convict,
was man Of ungovernable temper,
and the severity OF the judges SEN
tence so enraged him that he success
fully resisted the warders and indulg-
ed In a perfect torrent Of virulent
abuse directed toward the occupant Of
the bench.
II make the sentence six years." in
terjected his lordship imperturbably.
But even that did not check the mans
mad desire to let Justice Hawkins
know what he thought of him."
Il make the sentence seven years."
said the judge, when the convict stop
ped for breath after particularly vile
series Of insults.
Then suddenly common sense SEEM
ed to come to the man. He made as If
to continue his abuse. but pulled him
self up.
If / don't dry up s'pose you'll
make it lifer." he said resignedly
and followed the warder down the
dock steps without another word.

The Letter Followed Him.

Just as Henry Labouchere had been
appointed secretary to the British EN-
bassy Mt Constantinople his chief, Lord
Hammond, requested him to proceed
to Constantinople without delay But
this arrangement did not suit Mr.. La
bouchere, and q week later his chief
saw him strolling leisurely along the
Strand. The latter glared menacingly
upon him and hurried on 10 l,s club.
A very perenptory letter was the re-
suit, but Mr.. Labouchere guessed the
nature of the message and recognized
the writing, SO he did not open the en-
velope, but placed it in the tail pocket
of his coat. Then he set off for little
holiday at Baden Baden, and when he
had been there for a week or SO he
opened the letter.
"Now," he remarked to a friend,
"you can appreciate my foresight in
placing Hammond's letter in my tail
pocket, for I shall write him as fol-
lows:
Ny lord, have just read your let
ter, which followed me to Baden-Ba-
den.'"
This explanation Of the delay was
regarded as wholly satisfactory by
Lord Hammond, who until he received
it had been disposed to be very wroth
with his dilatory assistant.

Lord srampton'. Innocent Ways.

Lord Brampton's Innocent Ways.
Lord Brampton. Sir Henry Hawkins,
was picturesque figure who for years
gave variety and spice to the dull rou-
tine of the English courts. Some of
his iordship's ways were unpleasant.
When Lord Brampton wanted to get
case finished no one could more quick
ly grasp the intricacies than he.
When, however, he meant case to
last then he was the high priest Of in
nocence. There was not a game or
trick at cards with which he was not
familiar, yet when the counsel men,
toned the ace Of spades, "Ace Of
spades? What, is an ace of spades ?"
cooed his lordship. "It-er-it's one Of
pack Of cards, of-er-playing cards,
m'lud," gasped counsel, taken aback.
Really. then l must ask you to put 1t
in," said Hawkins. 4 solicitors clerk
was sent flying to stationer's to get
a pack OF cards. Upon his return the
ace was extracted and counsel handed
it up. "M'lud, this piece Of card Is one
Of fifty-two such cards which are call
ed playing cards." said counsel. 1.-THE
card which I now venture to ask your
lordship to examine Is called the ace
Of spades" Hawkins took the card.
examined 1t curiously, marked It, plac-
ed 1t with his notes. Thank you.
Proceed, please" he said. With legal
expenses averaging SIS a minute this
little byplay would cost a fifty dollar
bill"

Not Greedy, But

A well known cricket club in Eng
land in the neighborhood of Bury was
playing its last match of the season
on its own ground. The visitors batted
first, and the home teams one and
only professional, who was good all
round man, captured seven wickets for
few runs, thereby assuring himself
Of the bowling prize for the season.
The batting prize, however, was still
an open question, and during the inter-
val between the innings the sspro' was
busily engaged in helping to roll the
pitch. A spectator, observing this, re-
marked to one of the home players:
'Tom's working hard today, isn't
hep

Of sarcasm. Toms not greedy, but

for the public speaker in France has
no difficulties in the matter of words,
even though he eyince his southern
origin in slight differences OF pronun-

and of the press is one, but not, alas,
in England. One could make quite a
long list Of words that are common
enough in print, but fairly beat the
man who thinks he is going to say
them on platform. For example,
"succinct" is a common word in print,
but the man who looks to fluent speech
would boggle at 1t. In fact, no one
even speaks the word. And, though
Brobdingnaglan is familiar enough in

Paper Stockings For Christmas Use.
Stockings are to be hung up this
Christmas just as commonly as ever,
and among them will be stockings that
never have adorned or will adorn a
human leg. Brilliant paper hosiery
has been devised, and it is warranted
to last the day out, says the New York
Press. Such stockings are strong
enough to bear the weight Of one of
papa's checks, no matter how heavy
the figure may be. The newly coined
gold eagle will be most welcome

In discussing his idea Mr.. Farson

club both can enjoy pastimes with
their friends. 1t is his plan to inter

''The central idea," declared Mr.. Far

life where the pleasures shall be al

may mingle as against one sex amuse-
ments, which have tended recently to
divide families, such as the whist play

more pleasure, am sure, by stepping
across the very short and safe bridge
