Upon retirement from office he

in conviction much to his chagrin.

HOW TO HAVE A GOOD time

How men differ as to their ideas
of having a good time! There was
a man once who thought that get
ting drunk was having q good
time; another, that playing car DIS
until 2 O'Clock in the morning was
the thing; another that lying
around club smoking cigars end
dri hiking liquor was q fine expert
ence another that gaddinR about
the country all day Sunday was a
great joy. or that loafing about
the Hobbies for hours watching
people come and 60 and so on
adinfinitum.
Tastes differ as to what a good
time Is. but there Is no question
that an experience of low and
dwelling talk and deed, that leaves
the mind empty, the soul stale
and the body weak. Is not in the
long run, having = good time. A
low brow may think he 10 having a
good time when he is binding his
hope and shortening his days. His
heart hurrahs, but II lessons its
beats.

THE GENTLE CYN|C

A girl doesn't marry a man for
better or worse; she marrieF him
for more or less.
Every msn has some weakness 3,
but he generally has to hecom e
famous before it is found out.
When you hear a man wishing
he were dead it's a pretty sure
sign that he either wants to he
married, or is.
Unfortunately there are more
fools who talk for the sake of talk
ing than there are wise men who
keep silent for the sake of silence.
1t is almost as difficult to hush
up some children as some scandals.

RELIC OF ANTIQUITY

A most absurd thing connected
with legal business is the little
piece of red, green or blue paper
or daub of sealing wax which we
often place at the end of a sigma
ture to deed, will or other i'm
portant document.
1t is a very small thing in size,
but one to which a great deal of
Importance is frequently given. 1t
is a relic of antiquity and no
plausible excuse can be invented
for continuing its use.
Some of the more progressive
states have practically abolished
its use by legislation. which de.
prives it of any technical legal
significance. In others. however,
it is still used with all serious ness
and solemnity and an almost
ma gical value is given to it by
uignified judges that is little less
than ridiculous.
A man died years ago leaving
part of his estate to another
to enjoy while ne lived with the
privilege Of devising it at his
death to others whom he might
select by q writing under his
''hand and SEAL" A writing was
executed 30 devising the property,
but it was contested by others
claiming the property upon the
technical ground that the paper
contained no seal after tile sigma
ture and the dew ise was therefore
void.
A wise Philadelphia judge
closely scrutinized the signature
and after carefully listening to the
arguments Of lawyers decided that
at the end of the signature there
was an extra scroll or flourish made
With the pen with which the
signature was made and that this
was sufficient in law to constitute
q seal.--Cass and Comment.
