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,"
Il 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 q 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.
Pile. One member related how, among
his acqnaintances there were i've who
owned pianos but not one could play.
These friends, he stated, were In but
fair circumstances, and to his think
ing 1t was folly TO invest merely for
the sake Of appearances. Another
member OF the party stated that he
knew family where they had i've
shelves for the fake books to enlarge
the library 80 that 1t 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 80
crazy to show on that he blacked him
self each morning and washed the win
dows to make people think he could

tions also provide that if the COVER

within five days circulation of petit
tions for the recall of Governor Am

A proviso placed in the resolution
makes it improbable that statewide

tions committee and Secretary-Treas-
urer William Green of the United

take up with the twelve vice presi-
dents of the American Federation OF
Labor the question of financing the
strike.
Such action would mean that the
state executive committee and the ma
tional executive committee both would
have to approve the call for state
wide strike. Even then, lit Is stated.
sixty-five per cent of the locals in the
state would be compelled to have an
individual referendum vote to ratify

fore 1t could become effective.

POST APPLAuDs TRouBADouRs.

The Post, Denver, Colo. September
"a, l9l2.-Last night at the Audito-
rum there appeared seven young
men who are known as Byron's
Troubdadours, having been brought
here by the Rev. Thomas-Hazell for
the benefit of the Peoples Presbyter-
ian church. The boys appear to be
Hawaiian in nationality, and seem to
possess all of the natural musical in
stincts of their race, singing with
those always pleasing mellow voices
and choosing the kind OF music that
appeals to the popular fancy-the Sc
rious kind with melody the keynote.
1t was a varied program, consisting
of violin, cello and piano trios, duets
and solos, with goodly amount OF
singing. For the most part the num-
bers were short, surprisingly SO, but
the boys were generous with encores.
which were unfailing demanded each
time. The Tales of Hoffman," the
sextet from Lucia" the "Toreador
Song etc, will give one an idea of
their most pleasing program.
