SOLOMON ON VERMONT BENCH Decision Handed Down by Judge ;J Some Generation* Ago Remark able for Many Reason*. A nibguinr compound or law. good dense and sarcasm characterized Hllas Keye*, one of the early VermoUt judge*. ' A disconsolate-looking trump was once convicted before Judge Keyos of the lorceuy of (he boots of United StateM Senator Ihidloy Chase. The Judge addressed him as follows: "You are a poor creature and ought to- have Known better than to steal. Only rich men can take thing* with out paying for (hem. < And then you must steal in the great town of Wind* nor, and the boot* of a great man like Senator Chase, (lie greatest man any where around. If you wan(od to ateul why didn't you steal In hoiiio little town In New Hampshire end the boot* of aome man who wasn't of an.v con sequence? "And then you muat sleal from him when lie was on IiI.h way to Washing ton and perhaps I he only boot s he had. You might have compelled him to wait until aome shoemaker made him another pair, and shoemakers never keep their promises. And perhaps by the delay sohie huportunt treaty might have failed of ratification because he was not present In the aenate." "I have got to say that you seem to know a darned deal more about deal ing boots nor what I do!" piped the prisoner. "That Is a sound observation," he aald. "I will give you only one month In the county Jail, and that not so much for. stealing as for your Igno rance In not knowing belter (ban to ateal the boots of a great man like Senator Dudley Chase." Made a Mistake. We ate (hat evening In tin* kitchen. In it bedroom, oft' the dining room, slept our two-year-old boy. In (hat room, In a drawer of the dresser was n box containing nil of my Jewelry. When my hnshand bad finished his dinner he made his way to the front part of the house and while doing so, he ran squarely into a man. He ask ed the man what he was doing there, and (he man answered: "I 'anion me, *dr, but Pin a piano tuner, but T think I've made a mistake." My husband turned on the light, ami there, a little satchel In his hand, bow ing nnd apologizing, s?towl a slim, fair haired, innocent looking Individual. My husband kept on berating him, and /, somewhat ashamed of him, begged him not to be so hard on a man. who had made 11 mistake and seemed truly sorry for it. Finally, amidst more bowing and profuse apotogfcps, the man took Ids departure. We found out later that the shabby 1 1 1 1 1 ?? tuner's satchel con ?;ilned the contents of my Jewel case. He had left me my wedding ring be ?vinse It wa" on my linger. ?Chicago Tribune What Is Charm? ? The (?banning Woman possesses a definite personality. HKe makes her entrances and exits felt, and one would rather talk with her than with many other people.

HolUttt ! j) !! * I LOBE Should Be Lighted From Portion ?( ) Last Vear'a' Which Should Be Preserved for Qood Luek. The Yule-log, g probable variant of the bonfire ? so characteristic of sua festivals? has some Interesting folk lore of Its own. In medieval England, Its duratyt coincided with the Christmas rev* As long us It burned, the teuant had i right to toed at the lord's expense. The log was often cut from un ash-tree the. sacred tree of our Saxon forefatlk -J ers. There Is a gypsy legend that our Lord was born In a field and brought up by an ash-fire. The log shoofd, properly, be lighted with a portion of last year's log, a pleco of which Is always supposed t* be preserved for luck. At the same time that the' Christmas fire was lit, the (Christmas candle had to be lighted. (A port! on of last year's taper has al so to 1%'kept.) It was unlucky to snuff the Christmas candle, which burned for 12 days ? the period of festivity. At St. John's college, Oxford, can still be seren the ancient stone socket wfch the Agnus Del stamp, In which the Christmas candle wijis placed on the high table. , On the Isle of Mun, the folk former ly carried long tapers to church m | Christmas ^eve.
