He Was Not Surprised.

Justice Brewer of the United States

the Milwaukee Sentinel: A millwright
was converted TO the ways of thinking
of a sect which periodically was in
spired with foreknowledge of the
imminence of the day of doom and
set the date, preparing for Gabriels
greeting. The date was set and the
day came. The millwright donned his
white robe and went out into the fields
to await the coming meeting with the
celestial throng. The day passed I'M
til 1t was late in the afternoon, and
the millwright having arisen at the
stroke of midnight on the morn OF
the eventful day, grew drowsy, and,
throwing himself down upon a pile of
hay, fell asleep at his watch Boys
discovered him, and, with the natural
mischievousness of boys, set fire to
the hay. The smoke and the heat
soon woke the slumbering millwright,
and, sitting up with a start, he cried
with the anguish of the lost: Just as

The young lawyer had waited many

"Sixty-eight dollars and fifty cents"
said the tailor
All right" said the lawyer. Hand

Six ffty?" said the tailor. What

You have just consulted me In the

that you accept my advice. My charge

planned and enacted joke; now she
Is the defendant In an action at law,
while the society Of that Vermont city
Is awaiting with glee the outcome OF
the affair. says the Boston Post.
II all emanated from q bright idea"
conceived by Mrs. Gatty and few OF
her society friends who had become
firmly convinced that James II. Hook
er. attorney and wealthy clubman. was
working altogether too hard and need
ed little diversion to distract him
from the righteousness OF SO busy q
summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
of work beside him that promised to
keep him In his Office into the wee
small hours Of the night. the telephone
at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver Mr.. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice Of Mrs. Gatty. one OF his &C
quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
be greatly overweight and explained
that dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out Of a sum of
money, that the alleged swindler had
left handbag behind, and would Mr..
Hooker come up Immediately aud open
fhe bag and discover, II possible. the
identity OF the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and fastened up to Mrs.
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him
Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated from different
recesses of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received a
bill for services made out In the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed.
Much to her CONSERVATION a sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Gatty's
home and served the papers In a suit
for fees due to Mr.. Hooker for serv-
ices.
