Curran and Lord Clare.
Curran, the Irish advocate, was on
terms of intense enmity with Lord
*llnre, the Irish lord chancellor, with
whom, when a member of the bar, he
fought a duel and whose hostility to
tom on the bench, he always said,
caused him losses in his profession
.all income which he could not estl
ynate at less than £30.000. The incl
.douts attendant on this disagreement
■were at times ludicrous in the extreme.
One day wheu It was known that Cur
ran was to make an elaborate state
ment In chancery Lord Clare brought
a large Newfoundland dog to the
bench with hi in and during the prog
ress of the most material part of the
case began iu full court to fondle the
animal. Curran stopped at once. “Go
1 on, go on, Mr. Curran!" said Lord
Clare. “Oh, I beg a thousand pardons,
my lord! I really took It for granted
that your lordship was engaged In con
sultation!"

If you a nut a hard case there Is the
case of a man who late at night
bought a bottle of whisky at a public
house— price, 3s. Od.—says the London
Globe. He handed over a live pound
note, and the publican would not
change It. “All right,” said the cus
tomer. “Give me the whisky and lGe.
6d. and keep my five pound note.”
Next morning the customer came in,
planked down four sovereigns and
said, “Give me back my five pound
note and we shall be straight.” The
publican and the sinner looked at each
other. Can you tell ut a glance which
got the better of the bargain when the
customer went away with his five
pound note In his pocket?
The question puzzled a whole office
full of literary, financial, sporting,
philosophical and edltorinl meu—until
It reached a girl of eighteen who Is en
gaged in dealing with cm,h. All tbe
rest were calculating on paper and
reaching the result by devious ways.

eye. Do-you? Shut your eyes and do

Sinister Motives.
Two mea— William Jones ami John
Smith— were neighbors niul deadly en
emies. They often crossed swords in
court and out of It. and Jones, being
wbat might be called more clever tba»
Smith, Invariably got tbe better of the
encounter. In the end so cowed was
Smith that the slightest move on tbe
part of Jones made tom nervous aud
suspicious, and with the remark, “1
wonder what object he has in this?”
he called up all his reserve faculties to
combat the fresh attack which poor
Jones never contemplated.
One day a friend called on Smith and
greeted him with:
"Well, old man, have you heard the
news f
“No," said Smith. “What news?”
“Jones Is dead. He died last night
at midnight,” replied the other.
Smith paused, drew a hard breath,
raised his hand to his forehead and
thought, then blurted out:
"Dead, did you say—Jones dead?
Great heavens! I wonder what object
he has in this?”

twenty years.

Why Hs Desired a Cannon.
It is related that an Indian chief
once approached General Crook and
wanted to borrow a cannon.
“Do you expect me to loan you a
cannon with which to kill my sol
diers?" the old veteran inquired.
“No,” the chief replied; “kill soldiers
with a club. Want cannon to kill cow
boys.” _ -
