It was In 1S47 that Hicks first made
O county name as a witty raconteur.
In that year Sir Samuel Spry, who had
been member for Bodmin since the
great reform bill, lost his seat and In
a petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to In
iuence voters at the poll. In the
course OF the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in
his defense. In the course Of his state
ment he asked leave of the court to
illustrate his position by story. His
request being assented to, he related
how a few days previously he had
been to see lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from a fall from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out
all his front teeth. The lad, said
Hicks, had taken the matteE, in the
most kindly way and had said to him,
"'Tisn't the fall, Mr.. Hicks, and 'tisn't
the vally of the teeth what annoys
me, but it's the nashty, CHASTITY,
wishous disposition of the Jackass."
SIR Samuel Spry sprang up in the
well of the court In a fury and ex-
claimed, "He has called me a jack
asst The court was cOnvulsed with
laughter, and Hicks was promptly and
fully acquitted Of the trumpery charge
brought against him.-Cornhill Maya

Great Wars From Trifies.

Great wars, pregnant with bloodshed
and all the horrors accruing thereto,
have very often been the outcome Of
trifiing incidents which might, had they
been treated properly, have been
smoothed over and the slaughter avert
ed. More often was this the case in
earlier times than 1t is now. Every
one knows that William the Conqueror
lost his life in France through his
horse treading on a redhot cinder
while he was experimenting the burn
ing Of Nantes, but few people know
the fact which gave rise to the cam
paign that cost William his life.
During the latter part of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con-
sequently the laughingstock Of not
only his subjects, but his neighbors
across the water. One day his con-
temporary, Philip of France, compared
him to a fillet of veal on casters and
suggested that he should be exhibited
at a prize monarch show. This so en-
ragged William that he straightway
made war upon his ridiculer, and the
loss Of thousands Of lives was the re-
sult.-London Tit-Bits.
