BROUGHT ACTION TO AN END
Appearance of the "Deceased" in Chancery Court Blow to Army
 of Lawyers.

It was a suit in chancery, and there was a great gathering of the de- ceased's family, quarreling, as rela- tives will, over the division of the spells. The lawyers engaged chuckled. for the suit seemed likely to be pro longed and complicated.
 There were many lawyers, too, and the judge maryeled at the immensity of the deceased mans family as silk and stuff rose in rapid succession, in- troducing themselves with the usual formula: And I, my lord, am for the nephews, or nieces, or fifteenth cousins removed, as the case may be, of the deceased" The procession seemed in- terminable, but at last it came to an end. Then small voice was heard timidly saying from the back of the court, May 1 be allowed to speak, my lord?"
 There was dead silence as his lord ship adjusted his spectacles and asked, rather dejectedly, Who are you?"
 The answer was, to say the least, unexpected
 q am the deceased, my lord" said the modest voice from the back of the court. That ended the action.
 Quite unknown to his relatives. the deceased" had turned up from the wilds of Rhodesia. Obviously a man of humor, he must have taken a de- light in watching how "the best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley.'
