winners had disappeared when he
visited his chicken coops at dawn TO
turn out his flock. He felt very greatly
discouraged till he found q wallet con-
tanning $3.50 and a tax receipt bearing
the name Of q neighbor. {
The owner Of the tax receipt w.s
notified OF the discovery. He called IN.

he had dropped while reaching for
Ocelus's hens. saying that he had re-
moved the chickens as q joke upon his
good friend George. Mr.. Ocelus saw the
point at once. but a. q joke upon the
man who loft the $3.50 and tho tax re-

cover It, and admit that he lost It while

Lord Mansfield received q hard set
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house Of lords-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to a trust estate. IN the course
of his argument he had frequent occa-
sion to use the word Curator" always
pronouncing it in the manner approved
in the Scottish courts; that Is, with
the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the r of Lord
Mansfield, who, though a Scotsman by
birth. had taken pains to become
Anglicized. At last he broke out:
MI. Erskine, we are in the habit in.

lowing the analogy of the Latin. in
which, as you are doubtless aware. the
penultimate syllable is long"

USE A BLUFF" TO IMPRESS
Some Cases of Deception That Have
Como Under the Observation Of
Group of Bankers.

A group of bankers met for their
daily lunch at a club restaurant
where it was their habit to discuss
various problems. This time the on
versation drifted toward the various
modes Of deception practiced by peo'
pie. One member related how, among
his acquaintance there were five who
owned pianos but no 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 a family where they had five

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

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

IN REGULAR SESSION
SPEAKER CLARK AND VICE-PRES-
IDENT MARSHALL CALL
HOUSES TO ORDER.
MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT
Ambitious Program Is Laid Out For
the Nations Lawmakers, and They
May Be Busy Most of
Next Year.

WaShington--At the stroke of noon
gavels sounded in Senate and House
signalling the opening of the second,
or first regular, sessions of the Sixty
third Congress.
The familiar figure of Speaker
Champ Clark was seen in the House
chamber. In the Senate Vice-Presi-
dent Marshal called the senators to
order. This was the first regular ses-
sion of Congress in many years which
was uShered in under entirely Demo-
cratic auspices-w1th Democrats in
control of the House and Senate and
a Democratic executive in the White
House
AS is usual on such occa sions. the
galleries were filled, there being
brilliant display of millinery and win
ter fashions by women spectators.
The diplomatic galleries in both
houses were we'll filled. diplomats of
South American and Central America
predominating in the attendance.
In the House the blind chaplain of
that body, Rev. Henry n. Couden. de-
livered the invocation, after which a
few new members were escorted to
the speakers desk to take the oath
of office. This ceremony over the
House proceeded to uninteresting rou-
tine business. Routine business and
preliminary skirmishing over the cur
rency bill occupied the attention of
the Senate.
Many members, who were detained
here during the summer and autumn
months, have not returned yet. some
declaring they would remain away IN
til after January 1, so as to be at
home for the holiday season. They
think little important business will
be transacted until after the begin
ming of the new year.

definitely formulated. members look
