Selected Words.

The game of selected words Is played
thus: The company may be divided
into sides, each half selecting a word.
the object Of one side being to find out
the word selected by the other The
word must he the name of something
well known TO both sides Words of
two or more meanings are the best
to be selected such as pen, post, mail,
rail. deer, etc The answers are thus
more varied ana the words more diff
cult to select Each side asks ques-
tons Of the other. which should be
answered in a plain, matter of fact,
truthful way The side guessing the
hidden word in the fewest questions Is
victorious.

dealing out justice to minor offenders.

a veterinarian who testified that the
sore on the mules back did not pain
the animal in the least.
The judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinions and then de-
manded to know the mules where
abouts. He was informed that it was
harnessed to a wagon which stood on
the street in front Of the courthouse.
The judge then ordered that court to
be adjourned for FIVE minutes.
He took his cane and proceeded to
the street, went up to the mule and
with the end of bis cane gently touch
ed the sore spot on the animals back
The mule promptly tried to kick the
dashboard of the wagon. Once again
the judge touched the sore spot with
his cane, and the mule responded as
before.
Judge Pollard returned to the bench
