stopped Casson In the midst of volley
by asking him to explain just what he
meant when he said May was like a
sweet scented highlight." 1t appeared

FOUNDER OF SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robert Raikes, to Whom Honor Is Gen.
orally Given, Said to Have
Borrowed the Idea.

Robert Raikes of Gloucester is often
set down as the founder of the Sunday
school, writes an English correspond
ent, but nothing is heard of Emmanuel
Twynning, the shepherd of Magpie
Bottom, Sheepscombe, Worcestershire,
from whom Raikes got his idea. Mag
pie Bottom is a beautiful crinkle at
the edge of the Sheepscombe, where
the lane departs dowE the valley, at last
reaching Worcestershire. The young
man must have been up here to take
a service. At any rate, as he went
by Maggie Bottom there was Shepherd
Emmanuel Twynning In that thyme
scented little paradise, with a ring Of
children round him, explaining perhaps
pastoral parallels of the New Testa-
ment. Master Bob Raikes stopped,
perhaps Joined in a hymn ami talked
to the shepherd, asking him how he
"went on" when the weather was not
so favorable. He was told that on
wet days some handy cottage shell
tered the class, and that, come wet or
fine. there was a class every Sunday.
During the walk back to Gloucester
the thought took root and, without
the thyme and the marjoram and the
inconsequent chlrruplng of grasshop-
pers, Robert took up his shepherding
In the dark streets Of the cathedral
city.

press Chief Justice.

Most prisoners would be content TO
escape punishment for a crime they
had committed. But not so with Jack
OIeary. He wanted his coat. How
badly he wanted II Is told in the Can
adlan Magazine by Col. George L.
Denlson, who as a young barrister was
asked to defend O'Leary against a
charge Of burglary.
He was almost caught In the act,
says Colonel DenisOn, being found In
a lane In his shirt sleeves behind the
shop that he had broken into; In the
shop was his coat.
There was little chance of getting
him Off, but did the best / could with
the jury. making a strong point Of the
fact that the crown had not proved
that the coat was his, and there was
no evidence that II was his coat To
my amazement the jury acquitted him.
l left the court, and OLeary came
after me and asked me to apply to
Chief Justice Draper for the restitu-
tiOn Ct the coat ,fused most err
phatically, told him to say nothing
about It, and advised him to leave the
city at once.
The next morning 1 was passing
through the courthouse when Dan
Dwan came up to me and said:
Good morning. Mr.. DenlsOn. was
in the court yesterday, and heard ye
pleading for Jack O'Leary. BE jab-
ersl Ye did 1t well. Ye mulvathered

they were at. For he Vas Sicody

81 am afraid he was" said I.
"Yes," said Dan. But you know,
he had no business to ask for his
coat"
'I refused to apply for it," 1 re-
piled.
He then told me that OLeary had
gone in himself, Just as the court was
opening that morning, and had asked
the chief justice to order the return
Of his coat.
But you said that II was not your
coat" replied the chief justice.
"No, my lord, / did not"
"Well, your counsel did."
NO." said O'Leary. ''he did not.
He only said that they did not prove
1t was my coat. But l can prove 1t
Is my coat"
81 think this is the most lmpudent
request ever made of me-" said the
chief Justice. And he ordered the
coat to be sold and the proceeds given
to a charitable institution and ordered
