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.
