pitiable discontinue was mitigated
trife as we recalled some episodes IN
which he, as judge in the Federal
courts, hurt the feelings of innocent
persons who annoyed him. How
bruised must Standard Oil have felt
when, though it was guiltless,' he up
braided it with fine Of $4,000, ,0Ool
Once, in Chicago, young lawyer .ss
peared before Judge Lands wearing (.
wrist watch. 1t was during the war,
and Judge Lands was American and
militant no less than he is now. "Have
you been in the service z" said he to
the youthful barrister. "No, your
honor" was the reply. "Then take off
that wrist watch" he ordered, .sbe-
cause wrist watch is soldiers bsdge
and none but soldier can wear ii IN
my court" We felt almost as sorry for
Judge Landis the other day as We did
for the humiliated young attorney-at-
law as he removed the offensive time
piece. It. had been given to him, it
seemed, by q thoughtless, sentimental
bride.
WE chanced yesterday TO pick up a
w volume entitled Life in SHAKE

cant extracts from, the works Of Eng
lish writers between the years Of 1870
when the Bard was an Infant, and 1850
when he might still have been aiivesh

that Shakespeare was married Philip
Stubbes wrote as follows about fos:-

Stubbes was the most intrepid spoI.
ing and dramatic critic of his time. e
once wrote pamphlet which ds'
pleased Queen Elizabeth, and he was
sentenced to have his right hand cut g
for so doing. Immediately aftes .h'

Queen!H And ere his wound was neaps
he went to the theater and feafiessn
wrote Of it, thus:
