The LADY in Court.

Last week Mrs. Grace Hamilton paid
a fine Of SO to Judge Weller's court for
driving her automobile too fast uphill.
1t was the first time she had ever met
the Judge. A couple of days ago, how
ever, they accidentally met again, this
time out Of court.
II suppose you consider me very
discourteous person for having fined
you?" suggested the gentleman.
"Oh, didn't mind the money at all.
But you might have understood that l
had to make the grade"
THE court could not accept that as
sufficient reason for exceeding the speed
limits"
I'm the future, them retorted the
lady, II shall be more careful of the
sufficiency. ! shall attack no hill un-
less ! see your worship at the top Of
it."-San Francisco News Letter.

English Pins.

In an interesting history Of Iins just
published under the title OF Pins and
Pincushions," one learns that there was
actually no factory In England for the
manufacture of pins until 1925. Up to
that period supplies all came from
abroad. But having established itself
the industry has fourished and now the
English pin Is .egarded as the best the
world produces. Another interesting
fact cleaned from this book is that the
fancy tox into which we now put pins
can boast of more ancient lineage than
the pincushion.
1t was somewhere about Queen Eliza
beth's time that the pincushion came
into vogue. Then 1t was a positive
thing of beauty adorned with exquisite
needlework and painting. 1t was In
early Victorian days that the pincush-
ion cult reached its zenith. We now
prefer the fancy box as receptacle
for our Varied assortment of pins.

ENNIE and Lucy we're two bright.
clever little sisters. Now, though
- Jennie was the elder and clever
er their companions were fond
er OF Lucy. For Jennie had one very
bad fault, which oftentimes made her
veiy disagreeable. For, though she
was indeed q clever girl, she thought
she was cleverer than she was. She
thought that no one knew SO much
as she, and when anyone would offer
to tell her how to do something she
would firt her head and say: "Oh
you needn't tell me how to do that.
I know how without your help" But
Lucy was always willing to learn
from anyone who could teach her
something.
One spring the family had to move
to the country on account of the
mothers health. Their father was
anxious for them to amuse themselves
in the country, where they had never
lived before, but he also wanted thcm
to amuse themselves in useful way.
And SO he said to them:
"I am going to build you two a fine
chicken house and fix 1t up nicely, and
l will buy you many fine chickens to
put in 1t, so that you can get eggs
and young chickens and sell them.
But neither of you know anything
about raising chickens, and, of course
you must learn that first. So / have
