And tho nations far away

"Some years ago. says Boston
lawyer, "a man in Nantucket was
tried for petty offense and sentenced
to four months IN Jail. A few days
after the trial the Judge who had i'm
posed sentence, in company with the
sheriff, was on his way to the Boston
boat. when they passed man busily
engaged in saving wood. :
''The man stopped his work, touched
his hat politely and said, Good morn
ing, your honor
'"The judge, after careful survey
Of the mans face, asked:
"'1sn't that the man sentenced to
jail few days agoY
eyes replied the sheriff, with some
hesitation, that's the man. The fact
is, judge, we-er-we don't happen to
have anybody else in Jail just now, so
we thought it would be sort of USE
less expense to hire some one to keep
the Jail four months just for this one
man. So gave him the Jail key and
told him 1T would be all right If he'd
sleep there o. nights" - Harper's
