When Wives Were Sold.

When the war between Britain and
France ended in 1915 many of the Eng
lish soldiers found that their wives
had married again in the belief that
they were widows. The formal SELL
ing of the wife was regarded among
the ignorant as legal solution to the
problem thus presented, and 1t Is said
that the authorities of the day deemed
1t best to shut their eyes at the pro-
ceeding. A certain amount OF formal
ity had to be observed. however, be-
fore the sale was considered legal even
by the most ignorant. A Yorkshire
writer mentions two conditions which
must be carried out to make a salts
factory sale-the price Of the Wifi
must not be less than ! shilling a.
cents. and she must be delivered Il
her purchaser with a new halter arount
her neck. The same writer records thu
case of the woman who zealously pre-
served the receipts for herself as
proof of responsibility.

CAUGHT the Old Sailor.

1t was a clever lawyer in a Boston
court who took advantage Of the nau-
teal knowledge he possessed to work
upon the mind of q juryman who did
not seem to show much comprehension
of q case Of suing a street railway Tor
damages.
The dull member was an old sailor,
who, though doubtless very keen OF
perception along some lines, was new
ertheless rather slow in his under
standing of the points involved IN the
case being tried, says the New YORK
Journal. The lawyer noticed this and
made his strike with this particular
man. Approaching the jury box. he
addressed himself to this one juryman
and said:
"Mr. Juryman. will tell you how II
happened. The plaintiff was in COM
mand of the outward bound open cal

Along came the inward bound closed

Before Wang two men and a woman
appeared. The older man was the wo-
mans first husband. He had gone to
the wars and been reported dead Now
he returned alive to claim his wife.
But she meanwhile had married the
younger man, who refused to give her
up; hence all three came before wang
that he, might decide this truly difficult
case.

man, (which Of these two men made
the better husband?"
Both were perfect husbands, my

So the Judge told the men that he
would keep the woman by him for
week, examining her thoroughly, and
week hence he would decide the
| case. Well, the week passed, and thu
two husbands came once more befor'
the Judge. He shook his head gravel!
and said to them:

There is no case. Let her original hus
band take the body away from m
house and pay for the burial"
"Ho, not IT. said the original nus
band. And, so saying, he darted fror

THE committee realizes that

of the supply bills. The practice of
passing a river and harbor bill every
two or three years has become obso-
lete as the needs of the country have
increased. do not think ] made a

that this view is concurred in not
only by members of the committees
of both houses of congress, but
believe by the country as well.
There is no material opposition tt
the systematic improvement of ou1
waterways. They are vital arteries
of commerce and only valuable il
influencing railroad rates.
"In my opinion the improvement o
our rivers and harbors will be dom
with more vigor, more system ant
more scientifically than heretofore
because the country has largely be

natural highways of commerce, no
only for the transportation of thes
