LAWYER Scored on Judge.

Lord Mansfield received hard set
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house Of lords-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to trust estate. In the course
of his argument he had frequent occa-
sion to use the word curator" always
pronouncing 1t in the manner approved
in the Scottish courts; that is, with
the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the ears of Lord
Mansfield, who though a Scotsman by
birth. had taken pains to become
Anglicized At last he broke out:
Mr.. Erskine, we are in the habit in
this country of saying curator, fol-
lowing the analogy of the Latin. in
which, as you are doubtless aware, the
penultimate syllable is long"
81 thank your lordship very much"
returned Erskine I'VE are weak
enough in Scotland to think that in
pronouncing the word curator we are
following the analogy of the English
language; but need scarcely say that

USE A bluff" TO IMPRESS
Some Cases of Deception That Have
Come Under the Observation of
Group of Bankers.

A group Of bankers met for their
daily lunch at club restaurant
where it was their habit to discuss
various problems. This time the con-
versation drifted toward the various
modes of deception practiced by peo'
pie. One member related how, among
his acquaintances there were five who
owned pianos but not one could play.
These friends, he stated, were in but
fair circumstances, and to his think
ing it was folly to invest merely for
the sake of appearances. Another
member of the party stated that he
knew family where they had five
shelves for the fake books to enlarge
the library so that it would have an
impressive appearance. Glass doors
covered the shelves, and whenever a
visitor expressed a desire to consult
any particular book the key to the
doors could not be found. Each bank
er seemed to have some story to tell;
even Silent Clarke" as one of the
members was known, because of the
few stories he told startled them all
by reciting the methods employed by
a man he knew whose desire was to
impress everyone that he was rich.
Why" he said, that man was so
crazy to show off that he BACKED him

dows to make people think he could
