A Wily Judge.
At an assize court, according to the
Indon Times, a Juror claimed ex
emption from serving on the ground
that ho was deaf. The Judgo held a
conversation with the clerk of nr
ralfms on the subject, and then, turn
ing to the man, at whom he looked In
tently, he asked In a whisper: "Are
you very deaf?" "Very," was the un
guarded reply. "So I perceive," was
the rejoinder of the Judge, "but not
whisper deaf. You hail better go Into
the box. The witness shall speak
low." Case and Comment.

he married a female baseball player."

Two Shop -Lifters
BY CARL
(Copyimlu, igii, by
Star and Company of the big de
partment store, had a bright detective
In each department, but they suf
fered the loss of thousands of dollars
annunlij through shop-lifters. That Is
the bane of all department stores.
Where one shop-lifter Is caught ten
CBcnpe. It was when Mr. Jewett was
made, manager that orders went forth
for a crusade. The detective force
was doubled, and It was published In
the papers that no mercy would be
shown delinquents.
Mlws lictisle Merrlweather, the
daughter of b wealthy manufacturer,
was not only n shopper, but a bargain-hunter.
It was a sort of craze
with her. She would gladly pay out
SO i en t a cab fare to save ten cents
on a purchase. If she found a five
cent I lichen scrubbing brush marked
down to three It was hers nt once.
She even bought men's rubber boots
because there wns a bargain in them.
Her mother criticized this trait In her
daughter, but the father rather en
couraged It. He said that It showed
a good business head.
Mr. Hugh llnrton wns twenty-five
years old. Ilelng well-to-do, be had
leisure. Ho had what his friends
called a fad. He wasn't a bargain
hunter, but he did like to wander
through the stores and see what was
going ou. Now and then he bought a
pair of gloves or a necktie, but was as
ni't t leave them on the counter ns
to take them away. Wandering
through n great department store was
like going to a theater for him. Tho
play was continuous. On two occa
sions he had seen Miss Merrlweather
and admired her, but thnt had noth
ing special to do with continuing to
pursue hlB fad.
One day Star and Company an
nounced a ha r gain snle In soaps.
There would be soaps from every
maker In the I'nlted States. The
cakes would be Inclosed In all kinds
of fancy wrappers. There would be
all kinds of scents. These soaps re-
"I Won't Give It!"
tailed everywhere nt ten cents
a cake, hut on this occasion,
and for the purpose of show
ing what could be done in the
sor-p trade, every cake would go at
thieo cents. Now was the time to lay
In a stock to last a lifetime nnd then
somo more. Don't miss the greatest
event that has taken place In this
country since the battle of Hunker
Hill.
Miss Kittle Merrhverther read tho
btjr advertisement In an evening pa
per and was up with the lark next
morning. Mr. Hugh liarton didn't
rend It- nt all, but wandered Into the
store next forenoon when the sale
wns on. He had no Intention of
taking advantage of Slur & Com
pany's liberality. He crowded In
close to tho Bonp counter simply to
look nt tho while, green, blue nnd
pink wrappers. It was like a moving
picture show. Of course, he wns
pushed nnd Jammed and elbowed nnd
hnd his toes stepped on by women,
but he was not discouraged.
After a bit Mr. Ilarton found him
self beside Miss Merrlweather. She
wns so well dressed thnt he wondered
over her bargain-hunting, and with
out seeming to do so he kept an eye
out to see what brand of soap she
preferred. She finally settled on three
rakes of the Rose of Alabama or
some other state, and while waiting
for her chango was addressed by a
'strange woman with: ...
"MIrs. will you please accompany
me to the office?"

The Noelile Society
A society has Just been formed, the
membership restricted to persons born
on Christmas day. It Is called the
Noolite society. Among those who
would have qualified for membership
had they , been living are Sir Isaac
Newtown, Richard Porson and Wil
liam Collins, the poet. The Christmas

to a December 25 birthday Is stll! oc

preacher. Was he the luBt of his tribe?

child to be born on Christmas day
nr near It. So long as it Is a child.
For the parents and friends economize

"nut what for?" was asked.
"You will know when you get
there."
"Then I shnll not come!"
"If you do not there will bo a scene
here! I am a store detective. You
shoplifted an extra cake of sonp!"
"It Is false! How dare you say
such a thing!"
"If you do not come you will go to
the police station!"
Mr. Barton hnd heard every word.
He turned upon the girl, whose eyes
were flashing nnd cheeks burning,
nnd whispered:
"Hetter go and avoid a scene."
"Hut she Is wrong!" exclaimed Miss
Ilessle.
"All the more reason why on
should go quietly."
The girl followed the detective, and
Mr. Ilarton followed the girl, snd
they toon reached the office on the
second floor. There the detective
made her statement to a severe-faced
man who seemed to be In waiting for
victims.
"She Is mlstnken," said. Miss Resale
when the statement wns finished.
"We make no mistakes here!"
warned the man with a shake of his
head. "Your name, please."
"I won't give It!"
"Then you will bo turned over to
the police!"
"You daren't do such a thing! I
tell you the girl Is mistaken. I bought
three cakes of soap. I have no oth
ers." "Will you submit to a search!"
"No! It would be an Insult! You
must take my word for It."
"You may call a police detective!"
said the man to the employe. "She
can be searched ut the police sta
tion!" "Just a moment," said Mr. Barton,
who hud been standing quietly by.
"This young lady Is no shop-lifter.
Here Is the cake of soap that was
stolen. You were about to make a
bad mistake."
"I I thought thought ," faltered
the Ftore detective as she turned
pale.
"1 was standing right at the young
lady's elbow, nnd you got things
mixed. I am ready to give my name
and fuke the consequences."
"Miss Perkins, escort the young
lady down stairs," said the severe
faced mnn. "Star Company mnke
her a thousand apologies. As for you,
I will talk with you later. You evi
dently have much to lenrn. Now, sir,
who are you?"
Mr. llnrton gave his nnme and ad
dress. He said he must have pocketed
the soap In an absent moment. He
was ready for arrest and a cell. He
bad been sized up for a young mnn of
wealth and position. Star & Com
pany didn't propose to antagonize
such people for a three-cent cake of
sonp. He was even shaken hands
with as he departed. His curiosity
nbout tho girl he had lied for was
great. He himself believed that he
had seen her cover a cake of soap
with her handkerchief. When he saw
her detected he had stolen a cake
himself, hoping to clear her. She
wouldn't have lingered In the store,
nnd he doubted if he would ever run
across her In any other.
This was In April. Mr. nnrtnn now
hnd nn object In life. It wns to hunt
up a pretty shop-lifter. Day after
day he sauntered through shops and
stores. He hunted the avenue, and
was at some theater every night. Ho
even went so far as to enter the mil
linery department of the big stores
to see If he m'ght not find the object
of his search trying on a new hat.
All search was In vain.
Days and weeks and months passed
and. In August he went up to the
Cntskllls. Almost the first person he
set eyes on ns he reached his hotel
wns tho girl shop-lifter. She wns
with her father nnd mother and did
not see him. After dinner, however,
ns ho walked In the grounds, Miss
Bessie Merrlweather came right up
to him and said:
"You nre the gentleman who saved
me."
"Well, I stole the soap!" he laughed.
"So did I! True as you live, when
1 got out of the store I found I hnd
a cake In my hnnd. Hut for you
they would never have believed It
was a case of absent-mindedness. Did
they put you In Jail?"
. "Oh, no, I believe 1 plead tempo
rary Insanity."
"Well, If the Insanity won't come
back please come with me nnd Intro
duce yourself to my father, and then
he can Introduce us. Father and

AUM0R IN THE AUCTION ROOM
Stout Lady More Than Met Her Match
When 61-10 Stirred Up Tired
Looking Man.
I witnessed the following funny In
cident In one of the largest Kdlnburg
auction rooms. A big, stout lady, op
parcntly of the broker class, had en
sconced herself comfortably In an arm
chair, and In due course began bidding
for a table, on wl.lch a tired-looking
mnn, for want of something to sit
upon, afTectionotely leaned. Competi
tion was brisk, but In the end the ta
ble was knocked down to the stout
lady, who no sooner recognized that
It was how her property than, stretch
ing out her nrm, she sharply rapped
her knuckles on It, exclaiming: ''Hey,
man!" But the tired-looking mnn paid
no attention, so she next poked him
with her umbrella and said with
greater asperity than ever: "Lean
off the table, will you? It's my prop
erty, and you'll scratch It."
The leaner regnrded her fixedly for
a moment or two, but did as request
ed. Ho did more, however for pulling
a scrap of paper from his pocket he
put It under the lady's nose, with the
quiet remark: "D'ye see that?" and
ho next Indicated a corresponding
number on the armchair she was" seat
ed on. "Well, then," he continued
when Bhe had acquiesced with a won
dering nod of the head, "git off; It's
my chair, nnd I want to sit down."
And off she had to get. London Tele

What was the Iniquity of Israel
from which Ilosca exhorted her to re
turn unto the Lord? The degradation
of religion Into a sensual and revolt
ing worship of Idols, and the foolish
and weakening separation from the
Southern Kingdom. The period was
one of frightful violence and confu
sion; all ties of social life were
loosened; immorality, Irrellgion, su
perstition, panic und despair contrib
uted to the common misery und ruin;
It hardly needed prophetic Insight to
foresee the inevitable end In the total
dissolution of the state.
Their reliance upon Assyria for sal
vation Instead of upon Jehovah; their
reliance upon Kgypl, the land of
horses; their reliance upon idols, tb
work of their own hands. All the In
ner woes of the nation sprung from
lis idolatry, and nil its woes from
without sprung from the mischievous
foreign alliances against which the
prophets continually protested. Note
that this is more thnn a confession; It
is a promise of amendment, a vow of
total abstinence from these sins.
God promises to the repentant na
tion, promises for the past, forgive
nesB. I will benl their backsliding,
that ho'Tible disease of apostasy from
the Father's love; for the present,
love; I will love them freely, "without
money and without price," for what
price could pay for this Inestimable
blessing? for the future, ever-increasing
progress and blessedness;
G d will be to his restored people an
enriching, stimulating, reviving dew,
causing them to throw out new
branches, strike new roots deeper fnto
tbt soil, blossom In beauty and fra
grance, and bring forth fruit in abun
dance. VVbat is the significance of the
three comparisons used of the re
stored people? 1. They are to be like
tlm Illy, In Its purity and beauty. 2.
They are to be like Lebanon, rooted
deep in the earth, with its foothills
f retching forth like roots; or perhaps
the reference Is to the firmly rooted
cedars of Lebanon; at any rate the
comparison signifies strength, which
Is to be added to beauty. 3. They are
to be like the olive tree, which is not
lovely as the lily but is gnarled and
ugly; nor strong and Imposing like
the mountain and its great cedars, but
feeble and Insignificant to the eye;
but it is green when other trees are
bare, and it brings forth abundance of
rich fruit.
The confident statement (whether
made by Jehovah, or, as some com
mentators and both nuthorlzed and re
vised versions bold, by Kphralm him
self) that Kphralm (that is, Israel, the
budlng tribe being put for the entire
Northern Kingdom) has nothing more
to do with idols; he Is through with
thnn; they are laid away with his un
happy past. This actur.lly happened
after the exile; the returned Jews had
had enough of ldobitry, and never
again lapsed Into thnt Sin.
Ilosca certainly did not mean, as be
is so often misunderstood to mean,
C'.at Israel was so firmly fixed In Idol
atry that the nation could never be
moved from that Iniquity. The proph
et was addressing Judah, the South
ern Kingdom, and bidding her hold
nloof from her Idolatrous neighbor
and let him alone, lest she herself
contract the foul disease.
Tho sum of wisdom, according to
Hosen, is that wisdom consists of
three things: Understanding, know
ing the things that I Ichor had been
setting forth, namely, God's dealings
with bis children. Understanding that
God's ways are always right, straight,
alike when they spread themselves
out In nn unbroken level for the pious,
and when they oppose themselves In
rocky stumbling-blocks to the un
godly. Ilosca begnn his warnings at the
point where we feel tie most pride.
Our nation Is proud of its wealth and
power, but these two things lead to
worldiness, which la our greatest
peril.
What would be the substance of
HoRea's message to the nation and to
each one of us? "Take with you
words, and return unto the Lord." Our
sins must be acknowledged, humbly
before God and frankly before every
one who should hear the confession
for any reason. Then we are simply.
In Christ's strength, to obey Sam
Jones' oft-repeated injunction, "Quit
your meanness!" We are to "cease
to do evil, learn to do well."
We must turn wholly from our sin.
"A certain village church possessed a
fine-toned bell, of which the villagers
wero very proud. It became cracked,
but a blacksmith riveted It so skilfully
thnt the crack was Invisible. The bell
was reining, but oh! the appalling dis
cord when It was rung! It was taken
down, and reenst. The result was a
new bell of sweeter tone than the old
one. Man has devised many appar
ently clever schemes for tb restora
tion of sln dlseased hearts. They are
all failures. A new heart molded by
God himself la the only remedy."
There is a story of an ancient king
who lighted a lamp and had It hung In
his palace; he then sent heralds forth
to bring Into his presence every crimi
nal and rebel, that they might obtain
pardon. Those that came while th
lamp was burning were set free; but
those that delayed till the lamp had
gone out, or altogether neglected th
invitation, met with a terrible death.
Unlike this, God forever holds forth
his offer of mercy, and bis loving
heart always yearns after the sinner;
but with each wilful delay we harden
our hearts till at last they ar fixed
in the ways of sin.
