A Tcnuue TWister.

A we'll known Liverpool solicitor was questioning police officer recent ly as 10 the condition of horse. DO you really mean to say pressed the advocate in his best cross examining style. 'that the animal had shore solders-I mean to say sore soldiers -I mean" Still there was some thing wrorg, and the solicitor paused a moment to regain his oratoricai bal ance. while the witness wondered du- biously whether it was conundrum or a trap. Steadying himself TOT a third attempt, and deliberating over every syllable, the advocate asked whether the horse really had sore shoulders, and then expanded into smile of triumph. When the familiar tongue-twister about Peter and hls peppercorn becomes stale, suggests the Liverpool Post, here is another one: Say sore shoulders a dozen times rapidly without a mistake"

SALARY
 IS MADE LARGER
Board of Lakeside Church Has Most Enthusiastic
 Meeting.

One of the most enthusiastic meet lngs in tlr6\ history of the Lakeside Methodist church was held last night when the members of the church board gathered at the home of A. Brewster for the purpose of organiz- ing and beginning the work of the new conference year.
 The most important business tran sactnd by the board was the fixing of the pastors salary for the year, the figure decided upon being $2.50O. marking an increase from $500 to S2.o00 in four years in the pastors salary for the Lakeside church. The church has grown and has prospered. through the hearty cooperation of all the members of the congregation, wo- men and men, young and old, and in deciding to increase the amount paid the pastor the church board made it plain that while this is more than the church has yet paid, the church is to be congratulated in having as its pastor Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip Che of the strongest men not only in the conference but in the entire state.
 The old officers of the board were reelected. D. B. Niven chairman, Walter Alden secretary and M. J. Mead treasurer. These, with the following members of the board, were present at the meeting last night: Edgar Blackwell A. Brewster, Garland Brewster, w. C. Reynolds, o. N. Cat lin, J. M. Mccain, Capt. Ware, Edgar Brewster, F. Garland May. Dr. !. w. Jchns, fJ. w. Blackburn. Joe Watkins, Rev. W. c. Watson, and Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip.
 Members of the board look forward to continued growth by the church during the new conference year, and state that never before has the church started the year with such brilliant prospects, and with such spirit of hearty cooperation eXtant among all it's members. Optimistic talks were made by many of those present at the meeting.
 After the meeting, 6 delicious two- course luncheon was served the mem hers of the board at the Brewster home. by Mrs. Joe Watkins, daughter of MT Brewster, and which the guests thoroughly enjoyed.

First "Gan1e Law"

The first game law for the protec' ton of wild animals and birds was enacted in t06S by William the Con- oueror. This decree of the Norman king was called a forest law, but it's principal purpose was the preserva' ton of game Forfeiture of property was made penalty for killing or dis abling any kind of wild beast, while the slayer of a stag, buck or boar. if convicted, had his eyes put out. These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and no bility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased. in fact. the princt
 pal purpose of the pioneer game law
 was to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law in Eng land was passed in 1496. Game laws in America have become increasingly strict of late years, but, they wer<
 adopted too late to save many species notably the buffalo, from almost com oleto extinction.

Then they enjoyed the joke immensely. He was chaffed unmerci fully. There was only one person nresent who did not join i'll the fun against him. He remained silent ana when the money saver left he took an opportunity of slipping out after nm und congratulated him on his common sense in providing for rainy day. Then he informed him that he hlmsen had often thought Of doing the same thine but circumstances had always heen against him, and just then no was at his wits ends. Would the saver -oind lending him, say, ten rnot till Sunday? He did not get II and became from that time one Of the most bitter ridiculers of saving aS tending to make 8 man think or no ona but himself. It really requires courage in many circles to own " one's qualities.

Old.Time Punishments.

A mode of punishment in the early days was that of performing penance In church. Bishop Meade, in his His tory of the Virginia Church" tells how offenders would stand in church. wrapped in white sheets, with white wands in their hands. In 1881, in Sa- lem, Mass, two women were so adorned in white and placed on stools in the center of the aisle of the meet ing-house, having on their heads 2 paper bearing the name of their crime. A popular punishment for the drunk ard was to place him in large-sized barrel, with the bottom removed, and two places made on the sides for his hands to come through, and the victim of Bacchus thus walked through the streets with his head and legs alone showing from huge barrel
