Judge Relates Good Story About q
Famous 5acIewoods Character.
A supreme court Judge tells this
story about a famous character
around the minor courts. Tall, gaunt
and gawky, he had fund of ready
Irish wit and dignity of presence
and carriage which, combined with a
booming bass voice, was humorous in
itself. All the judges knew him and
were lenient with his attractions Of
court rules.
The character, who was lawyer OF
the shyster class, was defending q
case in court one day before Justice
who was particularly fond Of him. He
went to luncheon with his client.
When court resumed after luncheon It
was evident that he had enjoyed his
midday meal. Realizing the situation
the justice leaned over and said!
"This case is postponed until to-
morrow. The counsel for the defense
is In no condition to proceed with it"
The lawyer rose to his feet instead

Cruel Human Sacrifices
Part OF Aztec RELIGION

IA ancient Mexico, the Mexico of the
A@tecE, human sacrifices were not only
fhe custom, but practically the only
eacrtice offered. But mostly the sac
ythces were composed Of offenders,
lawbreakers and enemies. Enemies
were generally offered up In prefer
enee 10 victims Of their own race.
Another civilization much like the
Aztec was the Tncas. The Aztecs and
the people of the Tncas worshiped a
sun god much as the Egyptians and
the Babylonians, although the moon
was sort Of lesser divinity to each,
finding its counterpart In the Egyptian
Isis.
The human sacrifices were unnaces-
sariiy cruel The victim was either
Laid upon a regular sacriAcial table
and had his heart cut out by a few
incisions, or else was put upon an
eminence and armed with a blunt
wooden sword He was then attacked
successfully by men armed with OBJ
sidian swords and very sharp. He
fought until he was killed. Many evil
oances Of these cruelties have been
excavated.
There was another custom, that of q
priest praying person to death. This
was believed quite possible. Anyone
whom a priest was known as praying
10 die was certain to die. For the
most part they did, killed by terror

trying to confuse medical experts in

often they get paid back in their own

ling tactics without effect, looked quiz
zically. at the doctor who was testify
ing and said;
"You viii admit that doctors some
times make mistakes. won't your"
ooh, yes; the same as lawyers" was
