Hunting For Justica.
Justice Is of course loudly demanded
by every litigant In a court of law, but
it Is « frequent infirmity of the human
mind to confuse justice with one's own
cause. The late Thomas B. Heed, ac
cording to a writer iu Law Notes, used
to tell an amusing story to Illustrate
this tendency.
lie was once retained by an enter
prising client to prosecute an action.
On talking with the plaintiff's wit
nesses Mr. Reed found thut their sto
ries were far from consistent, so he re
ported the fact to his client and ad
vised that the suit be dropped. The
client was somewhat perturbed, but
told the attorney he would have a talk
with the witnesses and let him know
the next morning what ho had decided
to do. True to his word, he dropped
in bright and early, wearing the cheer
ful look of one who lias fought the
good fight.
"I've seen those witnesses," lie ex
plained, "and they say they must have
bceu mistaken when they talked with
you. They all see it alike now. I've
also seen some of the jurymen, and
they think I'll win. Now, if there's
such a thing as justice in law we can't
lose."

A Long Time Dying.
Mr. Fred Terry told this anecdote
of the death scene in "The Heel of I
Achilles:"
"One day," he says, "we were re- j
hearsing this play, and a member of <
my company came iu from the street
and asked the call boy how far the re- |
hearsal had got.
" 'Mr. Terry's just dying,' replied j
the boy.
" 'Good. I've time to smoke a ciga- j
rette before my entrance.'
"Presently the actor returned and re- |
peated the question.
"'Still dying,' answered the; boy.
"'Oli, I'll go and have another ciga- I
rette, then.'
"Back lie came and only got the |
same reply from the call boy.
"Finally, after smoking live ciga- j
rettes, he asked, a little wearily, how j
far the rehearsal had gone.
" 'Still dying,' answered the call boy.
" 'Great Scott'.' gasped the actor, 'lie {
must be immortal."' London An- j

The First Language.
No one of the existing languages has
any legitimate eiaiiu to be considered
the original of the family of languages,
standing to the others as Latin, for
instance, stands to Italian and French.
Of an original primitive language of
mankind the most patient research
has found no trace. All of them—As
syrian, Phoenician, Hebrew, Arabic
are sister languages, pointing back to
an earlier parent language, which has
long disappeared. Since the historical
period man has done little in the way
of the absolute creation of language.
The work had already been accom
plished ages before the birth of writ

All His Own.
A young man and his sweetheart
were walking together through lanes
and fields.
The young man was rather of a
bashful nature and had been paying
attention to this same young woman
for a considerable time without hav
ing plucked up courage to put the all
important question.
On this particular night, however,
lie mustered sufficient pluck to ask
her how she thought he was progress
ing with his courting. At the same
time ills arm stoic round her waist.
"Well, Jack," said the girl quietly,
"I think you are holding your own at
present."
Her Playing.
Mrs. McDuff— I This paper says that
mice are attracted by music, but I
don't believe it.
McDuff—Why not?
Sirs. McDuff— Because I never see
uny mice around when I play the
piano.
McDuff—Well, that's no reason for
doubting the paper's statement.
Beat Her Out.
Waggs—l had the laugh on my wife
yesterday.
Boggs—How did it happen?
Waggs—We were out driving, and
she discovered an echo that beat her
out of the last word.

Judgment Reversed.
A middle aged and nervous tenaut !
in an apartment house had summoned |
his next door neighbor, a young wo- j
man student at the conservatory, into j
court and charged that the peace and |
quiet of his lodgings had been disturb- I
od by her singing.
The court was inclined to regard the |
proceedings as unwarranted.
"How much do you sing?" he asked •
the defendant.
"Only two hours a day," she answer
ed. "An hour iu the morning and one
at night."
"Two hours!" said the judge. "It. ap- !
pears unreasonable to complain of '
that."
"But, your honor." interposed the
complainant, starting up excitedly, "I ;
trust you will not decide the matter i
until you have heard the defendant ]
sing."
The defendant was not at all loath .
to sing, in fact, her personal nssur- j
Mice and professional pride urged her j
to make the most of this opportunity j
in the interests of high art.
She began an aria from Wagner, but I
she had sung but four or five bars |
when the court interrupted her.
"That will do—that will do," he said, j
"No further testimony need lie taken, j
The court's judgment is reversed."— ;

A Bobolink With a Canary Song.
A friend of mine tells of a boliollnk j
which learned to sing like a canary, j
He was captured when quite small j
and given a cage beside a fine singer, j
for which he soon exhibited a great j
attachment. He would sit perfectly j
still on his perch for a long time I
watching his friend Intently, then try
his best to imitate his sweet notes. He
tried for three or four weeks before
making any progress; then he succeed
ed iu sounding one note almost cor
rectly. When ho realized his success
his wild joy was pathetic, and the
canary's pleasure was very evident.
Then he redoubled his efforts until he
could sing nearly the whole canary
song. After that he and Dick always
sang in concert. But, strangest of all, I
his character seemed to change with j
his song. Instead of singing but a ,
short time in the spring, as bobolinks I
do, he sang all the time except when j
molting. And he imitated his friend's |
characteristics so perfectly that he be- j
came a canary in all but appearance.— !

tremendous heat at once turns all the |
moisture in those cramped spaces into

explosion blows the tree asunder.— j
