Gasadis aiaadab.

There was quaint old man in Man chester. England. who for many years went by the unique name of Gagadig Gigadab. His original name was John Smith. and for many years he brooded over the possibilities of mistaken iden- tity involved in it. The name figured frequently in criminal records, and he became abnormaily apprehensive lest he might be confused with some of the bad John Smiths. At last what he feared so much actually happened. One morning the papers reported the arrest of an accountant in a bank for embezzlement. and through some blum der of the reporter the identity of the embezzler was confused with the sub ject of this article who was also bank accountant. Then and there he determined to assume a name like unto no other ever borne by mortal man. And in Gagadig Gigadab most people will agree that he succeeded in so doing.-New York Tribune.

The creditors of the ancient king had become so unpleasantly 1nsistent that he resolved to put them where they could trouble him no more. So he invited them to great banquet. and when they had feasted and drunk of his prepared wine he instructed his servants to convey them to his deepest dungeons. And the next morning when he went down to learn whether his servants had done his bidding his creditors raised their voices and en- treated to be sat free. But he remon- strated with them. saying;
 .tAfy friends, you have no just cause for complaint. Are you not better of in the eye of the law than ever be fore2 Any lawyer will tell you that a secured creditor has an exceptional cinch." Then he left them and went on his gladstone way. happy in the knowledge that he could at last go through his dominions without being dunned. Chicago News.
