A lust Judge

There is an old New England
squire whose knowledge of the statute
law is limited, but who has decided
views as to common justice. Not long
ago a certain Hank Miller was
brought before him, charged with
larceny. 1t appeared from the evil
dence Hank had rented horse from
a farmer to do some hauling, and
that, during the period the animal
had remained in his possession, he
had fed it from the owners stock of
grain, although the agreement was
that Hank himself should supply the
feed. He was charged by the farmer
therefore, with the theft Of two
bushels of oats and corn.

Spirit of '76-July the
Hottest Month

The spirit of 1876 flared up in tor
rid heat last month. Sundays heat
clinched July's claim to being the hot
test month since 1876. The heat spell
began June %, when the mercury
jumped to az degrees, making an al
most unbroken heat wave of forty
days with an average maximum tenn
perature of almost 80 degrees for
that time.
Readings of the thermometer are
taken from the shade. No tempera'
ture records of July, 1876, are avail
able, but it is claimed that the ther
mometer rarely condescended to d-ol
below 95. The year 1876 will be re
membered as the year of the Phila

lady, very near the end, said to him:
"About my will-I've added some
thing to it. I've given-you-"
"Just one minute, my good friend"
said the lawyer, wishing to have wit
nesses for the remark. So he hur-
riedly called the family in, and when
all were assembled he said to his old
client: "Now, say what you were
going to say"
"I've-given-you-" and she stop
ped, her breathing becoming more
and more labored.

she finished:
