Debate on Noah's Rainbow.

When lecturing on the weather be-
fore the New York Ministers associa.
ton Of the Reformed Church few
months ago, A. j. Devoe, Hackensack
weather prophet, asserted that the
rainbow seen by Noah at the end Of
the deluge was the first rainbow ever
seen by man. Why? Because there
never had been rain before the flood!
The Rev. J. G. Hume of Brooklyn, op-
posed that view of the rain and rain
bows, and has continued to assert that
they always existed. He finally chal-
lenged Devoe to public debate. Hack
ensack will crowd the social service
house to hear the man who dares ques.
ton anything the local weather pro-
phet says.-New York World.

Has No Use for Lawyers.

4 Archibald Winnings, county coun-
Gilman, who has been serving on a
jury in superior court, room No. 2,
never has had any use for lawyers,
and he frankly admits it to the mem
bers of that profession. Mr.. Winnings
was being examined a few days ago
for Jury service. He was asked If he
knew either Of the attorneys. He
saids ''No, / never had any use for
lawyers" Although he meant he
never had been in a position to re-
quire the services of lawyer, his
answer caused "a general laugh at the
expense Of the attorneys in that case.
The lawyers saw the joke and neither
made any effort to have a man who
never had occasion, to employ an at
torney excused from the jury.--1ndian-
