The Lawyers Advice,

The following story is told of well known advocate, says the Baltimore American:
 When General Beck was a young lawyer, man was arraigned for mur- der and had no counsel.
 "Mr. Beck," said the presiding judge, "take the prisoner into that room at the rear of the court, hear his story and give him the best advice you can.'
 Accordingly Beck disappeared with the prisoner and ill half an hours time returned into court-alone.
 "Where is the prisoner ?" asked the judge.
 "WelI," replied Beck, slowly, "I heard his story and then gave him the best advice could. I said, Prisoner, if I were you, I'd get out of that win dow and make tracks. He slid down the water pipe and the last saw of him he was getting over a stone fence half mile away"

The Warm Bath.

Smythe's mistake, which is described in an English contemporary, must have been disconcerting, to say the least.
 "You'l find your bath in the out 'ouse."
 Thus he had been directed the night before at the little inn where he was stopping, and that is why he was now, iin his dressing gown, pushing open the Outhouse door. It was dark, but there was the tub, and it would do. He hopped in. In the middle of his ablu. tions the red-faced landlord thrust his head ill at the door. In the dim light he failed to see the man in the tub. |.
 "Water quite nicely warm, thanks. '" observed Smythe, "bat it's ] trihe muddy"
 "Muddy be hanged!' roared the landlord, bursting in suddenly. Your tub in the next place. Git out of it, you, blitherin' idiot! Not a word of this Tn the 'ouse. mind not a word of this in the 'ouse! That's my 'ome- brewed ale you're a.washin' in"

Germany Prepared for Emergencies

! Part of German preparedness for

were In operation German wireless
stations In Europe, Africa, America
and the South seas. Many have been
dismantled by the allies, but the three
greatest still remain and serve to keep
Germany In communication with the

be cut.
The three greatest stations are at
Nauen., Germany; Sayville. L. L., and
somewhere" IN Spain. The French
claim that there is q German wireless
station in every state In the Union.
Outside Of the Sayville station there
are known to be four high-power sta
tons in Mexico and ten In South
America, the latter having added ma
terially in the exploits OF the German

Monkey Died Like ! Man.

acute indigestion. IL chronicled in the

higher order of the monkey family;
his kinship to the human race. II he
had any, was remote, Yet surely In
the manner Of his death he displayed
= simian resemblance to man.
He died as hundreds Of thousands Of
beings higher In the scale Of evolution
die, as countless numbers Of our best
citizens" die-from 6vereating. He
was as reckless In the indulgence Of
his appetite for food as the most cul-
tivated member of the human family.
and II the circumstances of his death
excite surprise. 1t IL that his natural
instincts did not preserve him from
the fate Of the most intelligent hu-
man beings.
Bill's death points dietetic moral
for monkeys that exchange the nuts
and roots Of the jungle for the richer
food Of zoo captivity and idleness.
The application Of the moral to man
kind need not be considered. A vastly
greater number of men die from over
eating than from starvation, and the
death Of . humble simian in the cir.
;cumstances from this characteristics
;cally human ailment, may serve to
lemphasize the fact.-New York
