judge of the Law and the Facts.

In Pennsylvania there is an old law on the
statute books to the effect that in criminal
cases the jury is Judge Of the law as well as
of the facts" Though not often quoted, once
in a while lawyer with a desperate case makes
use OF it..
In one case the Judge instructed the jury
that it was to Judge of the law as well as the
facts but added that it was not to Judge OF
the law unless it was fully satisfied that 1t
knew more law than the Judge An outrageous
verdict was brought in. contrary to all instruc-
tons of the court, who felt called upon to re-
buke the jury. At last one old farmer arose
and said
ledge, weren't we TO jedge the law as well
as the facts? ?"
Certainly" was the response; but told
you not 70 Judge the law unless you were clear
ly satisfied that you knew the law better than
| did"
well, ledge" answered the farmer, as he
shifted his qud eve considered that pint.

LAWYER Lived High.

A man from the forks of the creek came TO a
small country town to consult with lawyer.
He walked along the street, looking for a law
yer's sign, and at last he saw the words, Law
Office" on a window that was three stories
high. The man from the forks of the creek
kept looking up at the window, and walked back
and forth in front of the building trying to see
how to get TO the lawyers office
In a few minutes colored man came along
and the man from the forks of the creek asked
him how TO get up there to the office. The
negro looked up and saw the fire escape along
the front of the building and said:
BOSS, dars the ladder. but | spects he's done

Kentucky country, as he leaned back IN the

81 PERKINS:

What ails this nation more'n anything right
now is cheap oratory by fellows who go around
talking instead of working They can tell you
how to save the nation, but they lie when they
tell you il can be done without work. The rea-
son they are agitating is because they don't
want TO do their share Of the worlds work. II
these loafers and labor agtators and everybody
else would do an honest days work each day
labor and capital would soon forget their dlf-
ferences; the high cost Of living would be less
high and people generally would be less dis
contented."

Oldtime Flouncings
Adapted to New Models

VERY often the most beautiful of
family laces are in the form
of f1ouncings; these are difficult for
the artist of the modern robe to
handle. There is, however, a Red
fern model that adapts itself per-
fectly to the use of oldtime flounc.
lngs. First, a slim little slip is
made of bridal satin, then by skilful
drapery this dress is almost hidden
under network of wide lace.
The founcing may be used for this
and also for the sleeves, which flow
to a length halfway between the
elbow and the wrist. A piece Of the
lace is attached to low round neck
line at the back, with very little full.

may we'll envy the lovely Tuscan
brides of the Renaissance, whose
dover chests contained laces that
had been handed down from genera

were woven in castles or manor
houses in the days when even queens
worked at this beautiful and fasci-
mating art. Or, perhaps, they had
been years in the making within
the walls of some convent.
