John Prizes twentieth wife had him
arrested the other day for "bigamy."
but at the trial it developed that he
had committed polygamy. With great
confidence the accused called some of
his wives to testify in his behalf. and
each one of them spoke highly of him.
In his defense Prizes testified. "I
know there is some law about a man
having only one wife. but, your honor,
know there are many more women
than men in Minsk and l could not
bear to see so many fine women be.
come old maids" The judge dealt
mercifully with him, sentencing him
to only three months in prison.

The Sixth Sense

Doctor Waldo of London holds that
people should develop sixth sense to
inform them of the approach of dan

one becomes aware of the proximity
of bulky objects without touching
them. If hesitate to obey it, col
lision is the inevitable consequence.

After five years Of experience in
the wholesale department of Huis-
kamp Bros, Mr.. Bode entered upon
his banking career, this being just
seventeen years ago. He entered on
the ladders lowest rung and steadily
worked upward to his present posi-
ton.
The new director confidently ex-
poets to remain banker all Of his
life. but as he was given to remark,
something may come to cause him to
seek other fields of labor. However,
he said:
Il think a young man should decide
early in life what he desires to take
mp, what field Of business he desires
to engage in. Convinced that he will
like the work he should enter such
5a field and avoid changes in institu-
lions that tend to push him back a
syear or two. Persistent work with
one institution will certainly be re.
warded.'
