How Lawyer Summed
Up Town*s Officials
There dwelt down East a quaint
old character, “Lawyer Hopkins,
whose notion of the divine origin
and character of justice was cer
tainly modern in its practicality.
He occasionally practiced law in a
small way and in a manner pecu
liarly Oil* his own. £
one occasion a flock of sheep
disappeared and their heads were
found in a flour barrel in the barn
of a certain man, who was there
upon arrested and tried for sheep
stealing. Lawyer Hopkins, in con
ducting the defense, maintained
that the sheep were not stolen, but
had strayed away, as was common
in the spring.
The prosecuting attorney said:
“Yes, I know sheep do stray away
this time of year, but they do not
usually leave their heads in flour
barrels in the haymow. "
Hopkins went to a neighboring
town to settle a case with the
selectmen, but failed, and gave this
report, char acterizing the three
town officials:
“Mr. A-will do nothing wrong
If he knows It; Mr. will do
nothing at all if lie knows it, and
Mr. O-will do nothing right if
he knows It.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
Betel Nut Mara Beauty
The country folk (of Java) them
selves. conscious of their ornate
setting, were dressed for the part.
A group of those women, moving in
u musical comedy, would give a
theatrical manager complete assur
ance in the matter* of his box office
receipts.
They are $<P modest and polite
that they never stare at a stranger;
though with such figures, eyes and
coloring, I doubt whether he would
object greatly if they did. Their
manners are perfect, except that
most of them chew betel nut, and
casualty make railway platforms
and footpaths distressing with red
maeulations.
It is shocking to see a beautiful
woman laugh, when her opened
mouth looks as though a savage
blow had just seriously wounded
It.—H. M. Tomlinson in Harper’s
Magazine.
Building Trades ’ God
Lupan is the name of the god
which the members of the Peking
building trades worship. Lu is the
name of n kingdom, In the Chow
dynasty (1122-220 B. C.), and Pan Is
the name of a skilled mechanic of
that time. He is frequently men
tioned In the classics as an inven
tor of mechanical devices. From
him the guild of the building trade
derives its name, says the Detroit
News.
The guild includes carpenters,
masons, bricklayers, blacksmiths
and painters. The meeting always
takes place In the Tsing-chung tem
ple, outside Chienmen, which was
erected for the worship of Yo Fel.
The latter Is the famous patriotic
general of the Sun dynasty (960-
1276 A. D.) It Is not known why
the huifding trades chooses this
temple for its meeting place.
Would Be a Handicap
“1 cannot marry you"—that was
the burden of the young girl’s re
ply to the old millionaire.
Many, many times he had asked
her to reconsider her decision, but
In the end he despairingly realized
that she could never he his. AL
most angrily lie upbraided her:
“Even Cupid.” he said, “could do
nothing with you. You’re like an
iceberg. Why, a hundred Cupids
might shoot you all day long, but
not one arrow would make any Im
pression on your stone-cold heart.”
She thought for a moment, then:
Not if they used an old beau,”
she replied euttlngly.
