becomes necessary to harden the

An amusing incident occurred
not long ago in u certain police
court. Two men were summoned
for being drunk. Rising to speak
on their behalf, their solicitor said:
“My clients can prove that they
were sobor. Upon being told by
the police that they would he sum
moned they at once went off to be |
examined by a doctor, and I hold |
in my hand a letter from him I
which, with your worship’s pel's
mission, I will now rend to the
court.”
Instantly the solicitor on the
other side sprang to his feet and
Pumpkin Pic,
A Western paper, the Chicago
Chronicle, noting the reappear-j
ance of the pumpkin season, longs (
for an old-fashioned pie made
from that vegetable. We are told 1
that “most of the pumpkin pie I
that is sold in Chicago is made out |
of squashes, and squashes wore
never designed for pies. The fla
vor of the pumpkin in fascinating
beyond discription, hut a squash j
pie is simply sweetened mush. A j
man might make a fortune at the ,
restaurant business in Chicago '
who would serve pumpkin pies
made out of pumpkin.”
The Southern pumpkin is a big,
lustious vegetable. We remember j
the pies of our grandmothers and |
mothers. They wero delicious. ,
Later day pies had cinnamon in
them, which destroyed the pecu
liai'Iy exquisite flavor of pumpkin.
This is intolerable. When we
want cinnamon pie we will ask
for it, but we prefer our pumpkin
straight. A sincerely made pump
kin pie, with a glass of rich cream
or milk, is memorable. Try it.
Wo sympathize with our Western
contemporary and if he will come
this way we will undertake to
feast him on the genuine article,
with some Southern trimmings
that he will appreciate.
Welcome the pumpkin, the
golden pumpkin! Welcome the
pumpkin pie that mother used to
make.
Watchman’s Complicated
Task.
A watchman who had been en
gaged by tho directors of an Aus
tralian bank had brought with
him good recommendations. The
chairman of the hoard sent for
him, and proceeded to “post him
up” as to his duties.
“Well, James,” ho began, “this
is your first job of this kind, isn’t
it?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Your duty is to exercise vigi
lance.”
“Yes, sir.”
“No stranger must he allowed
to enter the bank at night under
any pretext whatever.”
“No, Sir,”
“And our manager—he is a
good man, honest and trustworthy;
but it will be your duty to keep
your eye on him.”
“But it will be hard to watch
two men and the hank at the same
time.”
“Two men? How?”
“Why, sir, it was 'only yester
day that the manager called me in
for a talk, and he said you wero
one of tho best men in the city,
but it would be just as well to
keep both eyes on you, and let
the directors know if you hung
about after hours.”—London An

Brass Button Acts.
Acts were passed in the reigns of
William III., Anne and George I.
which made it illegal for any tail
or to make or any man to wear
clothes with any buttons other
than those made of brass appended
thereto. The law further enacted
that not only should any tailor
who committed a breach of it he
fined 4o shilling, but also that ho
should not he able to recover from
his cutomer in a court of law tho
price of the suit which lie had
adorned with the offending but
tons. The whole object of the act
was to protect the Birmingham
metal button makois. A case
which came before the courts in
the year 1854or 1855, in which a
man, on being sued by his tailor,
raised a-sucoessfuFdefense relying
on the acts in question, that the
buttons on the clothes which ho
had ordered were bone and not
brass, called attention to the exis
tence of the anachronism, and the
restrictions were soon after abol
ished.— London King.
