A Deceptive Attitude.

A scene that was more than farcical,
declares NJ. \. T.. occurred in the house
of commons last season. Two of the
most respectable members of the house
were seen with their coats off and with
staid old policeman standing between
them. They two had been downstairs
to wash their hands and by some mis-
chance had changed coats. They went
into the house together. One of them,
putting his hand into his coat pocket
pulled out an old brier pipe of very
strong flavor. 1t was not his.
He looked at the coat, also that of
his neighbor. and, turning to his friend,
said:
Excuse me. but think you have put
on my coat"
81 beg your pardon. | have done
nothing of the kind"
"I think" replied the other member
'this is your pipe, and If you put your
hand into the right hand pocket of the
coat you are wearing you will find Il
cigar case"
Dear me"' was the reply. You GER
tainly are right. What shall we do?'
1--WE cannot change in the house" OBJ
served the first member. Let us go
into the division lobby"
Here is where the policeman came in.
Seeing the two facing each other and
at the same time taking off their coats
the policeman feared the worst. He
rushed up and, placing a hand on the
shoulder of each. said:
