A Ruse WI**cH Roused Lord 'Dudley
and Formed a Friendship.
One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in a very awk
ward predicament on a certain occa
sion. He was to spend the evening at
the house of a friend and ordered his
carriage early, as he had a long drive
tack to his own home.
When the hour arrived the carriage
that
was not forthcoming. Seeing
Lord Dudley was considerably annoy

seat In his carriage. The gentleman
was almost a stranger to Lord Dud
ley, but the offer was accepted.
The drive did not prove a very socia
ble one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
■ome unpleasant subject Presently he
began 'to speak in a low but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan
ion, to his astonishment heard him
say:
“I’m very sorry I accepted his offer.
I don’t know the man. It was civil
certainly, but the worst Is I suppose
I must ask him to dinner.”
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he bad betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
voice of his companion broke the still
ness.
Apparently this stranger was afflict
ed with the same malady from which
his lordship suffered, for he exactly
imitated Lord Dudley’s tone as he
said:
“Perhaps he’ll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, I would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope he won’t ask me to din
ner, for 1 shan’t accept his invitation."
Lord Dudley’s abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the other’s words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered
his hand to his companion, making
many apologies for his Involuntary
rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends.

Much Law, Poor Case.
. Among lawyers there Is a saying
,that in the trial of a case an attorney
if light on facts mnst be heavy on law.
The other day an attorney was prepar
ing to leave his office In one of the big
office buildings to go to the courthouse
to try a case. From the shelves of his
library be had taken many large law
books containing decisions and opin
ions of higher courts. At intervals a
boy went in and out of the dcor, and
each time he bore in his arms a stack
of the books, which he carried to an
express wagon that stood in the street
below.. The attorney was to use the
books in the courtroom. Another law
yer, who is of southern birth and who
always addresses his friends with
some army title, watched the boy as he
went In and out carrying the law
books. Then he dug his hands deep
Into his trousers pockets and said to
the lawyer,
“Well, Ah’ll sweah, kunnel, you must
have no case at all.”—Kansas City
Times.

Recently a prominent taxidermist of Alexander Brice of Kirknewtoa,
gt dentistry.
St. Louis was taking a party of visit
ors through his establishment He had
some very rare specimens of big game
fish, both of the sea and river, besides
a large collection of birds of every
clime about the walls.
“Is that stuffed, too?” asked a lady,
indicating the lifelike form of a small
pet'dog which sat motionless upon the
hearth.
The taxidermist frowned and return
ed very indignantly:
“Madam, we do no stuffing here. We
stretch our hides over plaster of paris
forms. The day of stuffing is past, and
no up to date establishment does it”
The party was taken upstairs,
through the rooms where the real taxi
dermy is done. They had expected to
see hides being crammed full of saw
dust, shavings and perhaps hair. No
such thing was seen, however, and in
place of this were men and boys mold
ing out the forms of deer, antelope,
fish and other kinds of animals in the
smooth white plaster. This is done
very much in the same way as the
terra cotta cornices are molded to
grace the corners of buildings. The
hides after going through the cleaning
process are stretched tightly over the
plaster form, which indeed is more
lasting than the old fashioned manner
of stuffing them.
“Even specimens of fish are treated
in this manner,” resumed the taxider
mist, “and you may easily see how a
skin would retain Its shape a great
deal longer over the hard, smooth sur
face of the plaster than If a softer ma
terial were crammed into It, which If
i improperly done will bulge and last hut
a short time.”—Exchange.

was Alexander Brice of Kirknewtoa,
who in March, 1765, made a simple ex
periment with the contents of a stone

six inches of snow. What he learned
was that a greater or less degree of
cold or of wind when the snow falls
and its “lying a longer or shorter time

of water produced, “but If,” he added,
“I may trust to the above trials, which
I endeavored to perform with care,
snow newly fallen, with a moderate
gale of wind, freezing cold, will pro-
duce a quantity of water equal to one- ’

Lincoln's Last Law Case.
Lincoln tried his last case in Chi
cago. It was the case of Jones versus
Johnson in April and^May, 1S60, in the
United States circuit court before
Judge Drummond. The case involved
the title to land of very great value
the accretion on the shore of Lake
Michigan. During the trial Judge
Drummond and ail the counsel on both
sides, Including Lincoln, dined together
at the house of Isaac N. Arnold.
At the conclusion of the dinner this
toast was proposed: “May Illinois fur
aish the next president of the United
States.” It was drunk with great en
thusiasm by the friends of both Lin
coln and Douglas. — Chicago Record-
