A true copy of Joint Resolution No, 9. noRKRT MoArrcn, Secretary of the Commonwealth, THE BUCKBOARD. Invented In the Year 1820 by a Penn sylvania Doctor. Though the liuuie "buckboard" is ap ])iictl lo thousands of carriages, few people know how the word came to be used. Back around 1820, says the American Vehicle, in explaining it, when the l transportation of goods, wares and merchandise was almost entirely by wagon, a Dr. Buck, who for many years afterward was (lie military store keeper at Washington, was in charge of military stores en route to army posts in the southwest. In east Tennessee much difficulty was experienced by reason of the rough roads, and here were frequent mis haps, mostly from the wagons over turning. I)r. Buck overhauled the outtit, and, abandoning the wagon bodies, long boards were set directly on the axles or hung below, and the stores were loaded in such a manner that there were no further delays from break downs, and the stores safely reached their destinations. lu special emer gency, too, the load could be shifted or taken off in a hurry. The idea was probable not new, but Dr. Buck's example was followed, especially when roads were rough, and soon much hauling was done by the use of wheels, axles and boards only. Now we have the buckboard. both in carriage anil automobile forms, con forming closely to the original idea, though few suspect the source of it.— San Francisco Chronicle. HAD BEEN IN JAIL Yet It Did Not Prejudice His Standing as a Witness. An important case was being tried before the criminal court of the Dis trict of Columbia. An old negro was in the witness box. The district attor ney commenced: "What is your name?" "John Williams, sail." "Are you the John Williams who was sent to the Albany penitentiary for larceny?" "No, sah—not this John." "Are you the John Williams who was convicted of arson and sent to the Bal timore penitentiary?" "No, sah." "Have you ever been in any peniten tiary?" "Yes, sah." All eyes were now turned upon the witness. The district attorney smiled complacently and resumed: "llow many limes have you been in the penitentiary?" "Twice, sah." "Where?" "In Baltimore, sah." "How long were you there the first time?" "About two hours, sah." "How long the second time?" asked the attorney, rather crestfallen. "An hour, sah. I went there to whitewash a cell that was wanted for a lawyer who had robbed his client." The attorney sat down amid the laughter of the spectators. The Effort of His Life a Failure. W. S. Gilbert had a novel experience before lie wrote for the stage, when he was a barrister waiting for liis first brief. It was long in coming, and when it did come Mr. Gilbert deter mined, of course, to make the effort of his life. He was intrusted with the prosecu tion of an old Irish woman for stealing a coat, and when he began the speech that he had prepared and rehearsed so carefully, the old dame at once began to interject: "Oh, ye divil, sit down!" "Sure, now, lie's a loier, yer honor!" "Sit down, ye spalpeen!" "He's known to all the perlice, yer honor!" After some minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked the recorder's intervention, but that of ficial was too busy laughing. So the effort of liis life was not a success. Present Giving Worse Than Tipping. The trend of the times makes itself felt in the matter of presents and present giving. In the days of our grandmothers these tokens of affection were few and far between and were marked by a stern simplicity. But we have changed all that, and the up to date riot of presents means a deadly drain on our bank balances. The tipping tax is bad enough, but the burden of countless presents can give it points and a beating.—London Tatler. In a Bad Way. "You seem much upset, my good man," remarked the curate, who hap pened to call when Murkie was laying down the law somewhat emphatically to his family circle. "Hupset?" bellowed Murkie. "I should think I am hupset! Our bless ed kid's Just set 'isself on fire, an' bio wed if the missus 'ere ain't bin an' put 'lm out with my pot o' beer, #n' 1110 stony broke too!"
