Judge Nicholas Long worth, who used to sit on Ohio's supreme bench, looked unnaturally grave, and a neighbor, in recognition of Ills facial depression, named a pet owl "Judge Longworth." It was the very next day that an excited maid broke up his wife's garden party. "Oh, madam," said she. "Madam! Judge Longworth has laid an egg." ^ 1? j Another Tradition Exploded. Two Englishmen were resting nt the "Rod Horse Inn" at Stratford on-Avon. One of them discovered a print picturing a low tumbling building underneath which was printed: "The House In Which Shakespeare Was Born." Turning to his friend in mild surprise ho pointed to the print. His friend exhibited equal surprise, and called a waiter, who assured them of the accuracy of the inscription. " 'Pon my word," said the observing Englishman, shaking his head dubiously, "I thought ho was born in a manger!"?Success Magazine. < Quotation Marks.
