Why Children Hang Stockings.
The custom of hanging stock
ings on Christmas eve, like that
of preparing the Christmas tree,
is derived from the Germans,
who have a .fable that while the
stockings of good children are
filled with toys and sweetmeats
by Khris Kiuglo a corruption of
Christ Kiudlin, or Christ Child
those of bad ones receive noth
ing but a small rod or switch
which is placed in them by anoth
er personage, known asPelsuich
ol, literally Nicholas in fur. It
is a rare sight on a Christmas
morning in a German houcehold
to see the expression of abject
misery and brokenheartedness
on the face of some poor little
wight who, having been dis
obedient or naughty on Christ
mas eve, finds in his stocking
only a small birch rod, while the
hosiery of his brothers and sis
ters is tilled with bonbons and
playthings. The dread of get
ting the rod from old Pelsnichol
on Christmas keeps many a Ger
man child in order throughout
the entire year.
An Evangelist's Story.
"I suffered for years with a
bronchial or lung trouble and
tried various remedies but did
not obtain permanent relief until
I com men cod using One Minute
Cough Cure," writes Rev. James
Kirkman, evangelist of Belle Riv--er,
111. "I have no hesitation in
recommending it to all sufferers
from maladies of this kind." One
Minute Cough Cure affords im
mediate relief for coughs, colds
and all kinds of throat and lung
troubles. For croup it is un
equalled. Absolutely safe. Very
pleasant to take, never fails and
is realty a favorite with the chil
dren. They like it.
An excellent jelly for the sick
room may be made by taking an
ounce each of rice, sago and
pearl barley, mixing with three
pints of water, theu let it simmer
to one, and strain it. When cold
it will be set into a jelly, which
give,, dissolved in wine, milk or
both, in change with the other
nourishment.
A Woman's Awful Peril.
"There is only one chance to
save your life and that is through
nn operation," were the startling
words heard by Mrs. I. Ji. Hunt,
of Lime Ridge, Wis., from her
doctor after he had vaiuly tried
to cure her of a frightful caso of
stomach trouble and yellow jaun
dice. Gall stones had formed
and she constantly grew worse.
Then she began to use Electric
I litters which wholly cured her.

Legal Briefs.
Who is the patron saint of law
yers? is a question that might
pertinently be asked on a day
when both beuch and bar attend
their devotions prior to the open
ing of the Law Courts, says the
St. James's Gazette. According
to one old story a famous brit
tany lawyer once appealed to
Rome for appointment of a saint,
Tho Pope proposed that ho
should go round a certain church
blindfolded, and lay hold of tho
saint nearest to haud. Following
this suggestion he stopped and
grasped a certain figure, crying,
"This be our patron saint!"
When the bandage was removed
from his eyes he found that,
though he had stopped before
thealtar of St. Michael, to his hor
ror he had laid hold, not of St.
Michel, but of the figure under
St. Michel's feet, the devil!
Hence, of course, the nickname of
the Inns of Court Volunteers,
"Devil's Own."
As a sort of compauiou piece
to the letter of an applicant for
admission to tho bar, published
in an October law journal was
the following statement:
"This is to certify to tho JJonor
able Supreme Court of Missis
sippi at Jackson, Miss., Greeting.
I pray said Honorable Court on
Examination of an application for
admission to tho Bar at
Miss., on October 28, 1901 to
please excuse my bad work for I
was sick all the time I wear thear
at work with a fever. I also fath
er pray sead Honorable Supreme
Court that they may rccameud
that I be licened to practices Law
in tho State of Mississippi as tho
Law directs, thear wear one other
person examined at the same time
My work incorporated the ques
tions in the examinations like
this X(l) What is Rale property.
Rale property is any property
that is permanent fixed and im
moveable and cannot be carried
out of its place. I father remain
yours truly frind,
"John Doe."
The clerk of the court "re
spectfully submitted" the appli
cation to their Honors, with the
following effusion endorsed:
On examination duy "he lay sick of u fever."
And "eur" sick ull the time he
"wear thear;"
Hut one thing is certain, he's a stuncb
believer
In the fuot that "rale" property don't
flout in the air.
The court had not passed upon
the merits of the case at last re
ports. The Supreme Court of Appeals
in Austria has decided that if a
wife saves money from the
amount allowed her by her hus
band for household expenses,
and appropriates the savings for
herself, this proceeding amounts
to theft. The London Mail's
Vienna correspondent sends par
ticulars of the case. Mr. and
Mrs Daun, after being married
for thirty years, were divorced,
and Mrs Daun took with her the
sum, amounting to about i'125,
which she had saved from the
weekly allowances made to her
for household expenses. Mr.
Daun brought an action against
her to recover this amount, and
judgment was given in his favor.
Mrs Daun has to refund the
whole sum.
If clergymen wish to know their
rating in the ponderous sheep
skin tones, they can find it out
by beginning with the very earl
iest English law books in exist
ence, says an English contempo
rary In one of the black letter
Year Books it appears that some
one had been so unkind as to
call a preacher a fool, with a good
theological prefix to the fool. The
preacher brougt suit for slander,
and the defendant justified, as
the lawyers say that is,he claim
ed that what he said was not slan
der but gospel truth and he
showed that words spoken
could not hurt the clergyman,
"for that it was a maxim of the
common law" that "a parson
might be a good parson and still
be a fool." The court so hold, but
said that had the words been
spoken of a lawyer or a doctor it
would have been otherwise.
Boy's Life Saved From Membra
nous Croup.
C. W. Lynch, a prominent citi
zen of Winchester, Ind., writes:
"My little boy had a severe attack
of membranous croup, and only

after one dose and I feol that it

"Old Sport" a Hero.
"Old Sport, "a big, black, shag
gy Newfoundland dog, will bo
presented with as handsome a
silver mounted collar as William
G. Morrissey, his master, can
buy. For "Old Sport, " is as tr uo
and brave a dog as ever rubbed
his nose against the knee of man.
Morrissey's eight-year-old Wil
lie was playing on Wednesday ou
a pier at the foot of Twenty-first
street, Bensonhurst, N. Y. Ue
was wrestling with "Sport."
They got near tho edge of the pier
hi their play, aud when "Sport"
arose to paw at the little fellow's
chest the boy lost his balance and
fell into the freezing water.
The lad was heavily dressed.
Ho wore a stout reefer jacket aud
big rubber boots. So, when he
struck the water, the boy, al
though a swimmer, could not
keep afloat. He shrieked in de
spair as ho sank, for tho little
fellow realized that heavily bur
dened as he was, ho would not
riso again.
But "Old Sport" had no inten
tion of standing there merely bar
king while his little master
drowned. The Newfoundlau dog
plunged after the boy, dived uu
dor the thin ice, and took the lad's
coat collar firmly in his teeth.
Then he swam to shore.
Willie was not unconscious. Ho
got on his feet and started for
home, with "Old Sport" trotting
beside him. Tho lad's home is
on Twenty-first street, not far
from the pier; but when ho was
about half way there his clothes
began to froezo on him, and the
little fellow was chilled and weak
ened. He bogau to totter, and
then he fell.
"Old Sport" acted instantly.
He seized the lad's coat collar in
his strong teeth again, and tried
to drag him homo. But the boy
is stout, and it was slow work for
"Sport," big dog though he is.
Mrs. Morrissey, however wor
ried by the absence of the lad,
came out of the house to look for
him. Then she saw the dog pant
ing and tugging at the form of
the unconscious lad. She bore
the little fellow home, cut away
the icy clothing, and wrapped
him in heated blankets.
Half an hour later Willie, cloth
ed in wooleu blankets to the neck,
sat before a roaring fire, and "Old
Sport" was stretched at his feet,
blinking at the flames aud his
coat quite warm aud dry
Last winter Mr. Morrissey's i
daughter, Marie, a child of ton,
was playing on the ice in the bay
when the ico broke and she fell
in. "Sport" dived between the
broken ice and brought her to
safety.
So Morrissey, who is a wealthy

that "Old Sport" must be pre-; through common acquaintances,

my life to Kodol DyspepsiaCure, "
writes II. C. Chrestenson of Hay
field, Minn. "For three years I
was troubled with dyspepsia so
that I could hold nothing on my
stomach. Many times I would
be unable to retain a morsel of

my bed. Doctors said I could not

and commenced its use. I began

PROFESSIONAL EATERS.
A Peculiar Custom Observed by the
Devil's Lake Sioux Indian.
One of tlio most striking cus
toms of the past that are preserved
by the Indians of today is found
among the tribes of tho Devil's
l.nko reservation in North Dakota.
Tho supervisor of the Indian serv
ice gives tho following account of
this peculiar practice:
"From time immemorial tho
Devil's Lake Sioux hnvo adhered to
nn old custom in regard to tho treat
ment of n guest. According to their
etiquette, it is the bounden duty of
the host to supply his guest with
nil the food he may desire, and, ail
n rule, tho Apportionment set bo
foro the veiling Indian is much in
excess of the capacity of a single
man.
"'Hut by tho same custom tho
guest is obliged to ent nil that is
pluecd before him, else ho greatly
insults his entertainer. It was
found that this practice would work
a hardship, but instead of dispens
ing with the custom the Indian
method of reasoning was applied,
and wlwit is known as the profes
sional cater was brought to tho
front.
"While tho guest is supposed to
eat oil that is placed before him, it
serves the sumo purpose if his neigh
bor assists in devouring the bounti
ful repast, the main object being to
have the plate clean when the meal
is finished.
"It is not always practicable to
depend upon a neighbor at table to
assist in getting away with a largo
dinner, and in order to insure the
final .consumption of tho allotted
portion vUiting Indians call upon
these professional eaters, whoso
duty is to sit beside them through
a meal mid eat what the guest
leaves.
"The professional eaters are
never looked upon in tho light of
guests, but more as traveling com
panions with a particular duty to
perform.
"These eaters receive from $1 to
$2 and even $3 for each meal where
they assist. It is stated by the
tigeiit at tho Devil's Lake reserva
tion that one of the professional
caters has been known to dispose of
17 pounds of beef at a sitting. That
thev are ca panic of eating an almost
fabulous amount I myself can tes
tify." A Fortunate Defect.
In the "Reminiscences" oj Henry
Angelo is set down the history
of JI. Liviez, a Frenchman who
married an English wife and took
up his residence in London. The
story of his courtship is at once ro
mantic and funny.
One Sunday the gentleman went
to church and found himself seated
on a line with a remarkably hand
some woman. Tho aisle was be
tween them, but so beautiful was
she that, having glanced at her once,
I M. Liviez could not refrain from
looking again. Then, to his delight,
i he found that sho was looking at
mnu
At intervals during the service ho
found her glance turned his way,
and as she seemed to bo a lady of
proper and devout behavior he
could not help thinking that 6uch an
impropriety meant an overwhelm
ing interest in him.
Uo followed her home, and hav-
never seen him at all. She had
been looking at tho pulpit all tho
time, and ho had not guessed it.
For the lady squinted.
Japanese Children.
A Japanese child 3 years old can
swim like a fish, and often children
who will not learn of their own nc-
overboard, but the mothers deliber
ately pick them out of tho water
and, culling them a little, go on
with their work. It is really aston
ishing at what age these boys and

The Striking Part.
Jerrold all his life long bitterly
protested against the fashion of
translating and adapting, which ex
cluded the work of native writers
und gave a reputation to men for
work which they had not originated.
Talking once with Mr. I'lanehe, a
noted adapter of plays, on this ques
tion, Planohc insisted that some of
his characters were original. "Don't
you remember," he said, "my
baroness in 'Ask No Questions?'"
"Yes, iudeed, I don't think I ever
saw a piece of yours without being
struck by your barrenness," was the
reply.
Somo men are so lazy they will
spend an hour praying for some
thing they could get with five
