Trouble For Creditors,

Even the simplest law transactions
seem to be beyond the comprehension
of some people. An old farmer went
into Il groCer's shop short time ago,
ordered a soverelgn's worth of goods
and when they were ready for deliv-
cry laid down a five shilling piece in
payment thereof.
The shopkeeper called out, Here,
this isn't right"' as the customer start
ed to leave.
"Oh. yes, that's all right" replied the
man. "I've got permission from the
judge to pay 5 shilings in the pound"
A heated discussion revealed that
the man had lately settled an insol-
vency upon this basis and expected to
continue that method Indefinitely.
When he was shown his mistake he
was very indignant and evidently con-
sidered himself Il much abused man.

George III. and the Wiqmakers.

When George Ill assembled the
throne OF England his wealthy sub
jects were beginning to leave off wigs
and to appear in their own hair. 'f
they had any As the sovereign was
himself one Of the offenders, the per-
uke makers. who feared Il serious loss
of trade. prepared petition in which
they prayed his majesty to be gra-
ciously pleased 10 shave his head tor
the good of distressed work men and
wear n wig. as his father had done be-
fore him.
When the petitioners walked to the
royal palace, however. 1t was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves.
AS this seemed unfair to the onlook-
srs they seized several of the leading
processionists and cut their hair with
any implement that came most readily
to hand.
From this incident arose host of
curious carlcatures. The wooden leg
makers were said TO have especial
claims on the kings consideration. in
asmuch as the conclusion of peace had
deprived them Of profitable source
of employment; hence the suggestion
that his majesty should not only wear
a wooden leg himself. but enjoin the
people to follow his laudable example.

AS Others See Us.

THE man who can pick out the best
picture of himself is Il rare bird" said
a photographer. Even an author, who
is reputedly a poor judge Of his own
work. exercises vast wisdom in select
ing his best book compared with the
person who tries to choose his best
photograph. Every famous man or
woman who has been photographed
repeatedly has his or her favorite pic
ture. Usually it is the worst in the
collection. 1t shows him or her with
an unnatural expression, sitting or
standing in an unnatural attitude.
The Inability to judge of his best pic
ture must be due TO the average mans
ignorance of how he really looks. or
perhaps it can be partly attributed TO
a desire to look other than he does. A
stout man will swear that the photo
graph most nearly like him Is the one
that makes him look thin. thin man
the one that makes him look stout. the
solemn man selects the jolliest picture.

a Famous Quotation,

A story about Keats Is quoted by
the late Sir Benjamin Ward Richard

Aesculapius. Mr. Stephens, a friend
of the doctor, once told him that one
evening at twilight when he and
Keats were sitting together in their
student days. Stephens ut his medical
books. Keats engrossed in his dream

that he had composed a new line-"A
thing of beauty is Il constant Joy"
What think you of that, Stephens -
ut has the true ring, but is wanting
in some way" replies the latter as he
dips once more into his medical stud

The Forests on the Niger.

ease carriers. and they come in such
numbers on the Niger that one hardly
dares to use ones lamp or so too near
a light OF any sort ut night. These
forests on the Niger are deadly places
for all their haunting attraction and
take big toll both OF European and
native life. Yet the first three days on
the Niger, with all its mud and its
smell and its mangrove flies and its
frogs and its crickets, are enough to
give the newcomer an inkling OF the
drawing power, the fascination, OF
what is probably the most unhealthy

The Paper They Were Written On.

The average author would probably
laugh at the statement that at one
time in the worlds history manu-
scripts, simply rs such, irrespective of
the nature of the text. were immense
ly valuable. In ancient times manu-
scripts were important articles from
commercial point of view. They were
excessively scarce and were preserved
with the utmost care. Even the usur-
ers were glad to lend money on them
when the owners were obliged to offer
them in pawn. 1t is related in an
ancient tome that Il student of Pavia,
who was reduced by his debaucheries,
raised new fortune by leaving in
pawn manuscript of a body of law,
and a grammarian who was ruined by
a fire rebuilt his house with two small
volumes of Cicero through the ready
aid of the pawnbroker.
