write their bids and names on slips of

no more bids coming be opens the box

LIVED FOR thirteen
YEARS ON So A WEEK.
Spnster Hoarded For the Future Care
of an Orphan Girl.

Miss Sarah Robinson Of st. Louis
sixty-one years old, has lived for thir
teen years on So a week, while she has
saved the rest of her meager earnings
as q seamstress for the future care
and education OF some orphan girl
whom she desires to take her name
after her death.
Miss Robinson is an Englishwoman,
and her manners indicate that she is
OF gentle birth. Her remarkable self
sacrifice was brought to light through
a loss which endangered the boarded
sum.
An old mahogany box containing her
certificate OF deposit for the amount
Of the savings, $931.5o, and the will
in which she bequeathed the whole
amount to the Christian Missionary So
ciety for the benefit of the future lit
tie Sarah disappeared from its accus-
toned place in her small, bare room.
Hurrying to the bank when she dis
covered her loss, Miss Robinson was
rejoiced to learn that the money was
intact. But TO regain possession OF It
she was required 10 advertise the loss
Of the deposit certificate, and she will
also have to give bond for twice the
amount of the deposit Miss Robin
son said:
Whenever I put a dollar away I
would say to myself. There is a pair
Of shoes for little Sarah or There's
a book for her. That made IL easy.
and I was surprised to find how much
l could save"

error for the man or law TO remarry
his spouse without delay, and this he
did.
somewhat similar error was com
mitted in the English court Of chan
Gerry. There had been a litigation over
some property, which was held h. one
man and claimed by another Of the
same name. In evading some order Of
the court the holder of the property
had committed a contempt. and on
this being called to the attention OF
the judge an order issued for the sum
mOning, not Of the guilty party. but OF
the claimant Of the same surname. and
the order, very severe one, was ac-
tually in execution before the error was

LEGAL BlUNDERS.
A Queer Decree of Divorce issued by a
Paris Court.


Paris Court.
Some years ago, it Is said, a legal
blunder Of a most extraordinary char
acter was committed in one of the Of
vorce courts in Paris. BY some misap-
prehension on the part of the presid.
ing judge, whose papers and mind had
got confused, he actually mistook the
name of an advocate who had been ar
guing a petition for the name OF ,ne
petitioner himself and IN granting and
signing the decree OF dissolution OF
marriage Of the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name for
the petitioners and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead OF grant
ing the prayed for release Of the advo-
Gates client AS the lawyer had no de-
sire for separation from his wife and
as there was no process for annUlling
an absolute decree for divorce, even TO
meet such a remarkable case. It be-
came necessary through this judicial
