NO PLACE FOR naughty MAN.
Aged servItor's Caution couched with
Little Sentiment and Much
Sense.

A naughty citizen once strolled in
to the supreme court at Washington
when an argument was being heard
and took a seat in the Enclosure re-
served for lawyers. After he had
been there few minutes an attendant
came over and asked him: Are you
a member of the bar?'
The naughty person wasn't, but he
took out his card with a flourish and
handed it over.
The attendant received the card
gravely, carried it to the clerk, who
glanced at 1t and gave some instruc-
tons
A moment later the naughty citizen
was touched on the shoulder and
asked to retire.
"Why?" he asked Il sent UP my
card. 1t usually gives me a seat In
any court in the land" s
Certainly" said the attendant;
but please retire.
The naughty citizen did retire
When he got out in the corridor he
fumed and fused bit.

Really Poor Penman.

There is certain Philadelphia ply
stefan of considerable prominence
who is renowned among his friends as
the worst penman in the Quaker city.
He used to write them letters and
then feel hurt when they could not
read them When he wrote to persons
who were not familiar with his scrawl
they frequently would not know whom
the letters were from. Some time ago
he introduced a typewriter into his Of
fee, and this rendered the body of the
letter Ineligible, but did not clear up
the difficulty over the signature. Now,
however, says the Record, he has had
made a rubber stamp bearing his
name and address In printing. He
signs his name in the usual scrawl,
but alongside he impresses his stamp
1t is little humiliating, he says, but
he no longer has any trouble about
persons to whom he writes not know
ing from whom the letters are.

Northwest Receipts.
The Leather Bottle Inn.

On the Dover road at Northfeet,
just where the old road, down which
David Copperfield trudged on his
weary pilgrimage to Dover, breaks
away on its temporary parting from
what Is now the main road, is an old
inn named the Leather Bottle. Over
the door hangs veritable leather bot
tie. The uninitiated Dickensian is
momentarily deceived into the belief
that here Is the Leather Bottle Of
Pickwick fame, and is Disguised when
he discovers that this is still four
miles farther on. Nevertheless, this
is one Of the few real Dickens inns"
still remaining. Dickens, when on his
long country tramps. often turned in
there for refreshment, and the chair
he usually occupied is still to be seen
priceless in the eyes of the host
