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

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. Sin- may not be anything
remarkable, but she, utters even com
Tfirtlltiiniw in n way of her own. Mho
Is ii sympathetic listener and neither
her eyes nor her interest ever wander.
Tact and rhiirm arc near akin, as
both include the gift of saying the
right tiling at the right time. We
all know the woman who quite uninten
tionally makes her friends as uncom
fortable as the kitten with her fur
rubbed the wrong way. We all know,
a,Ko. her opposite, the creature from
whose presence one always emerges

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.
AND BEFORE CHRISTMAS, TOO.
"Jeanette, you are the lighter mj
life. You're my sun, my stars, my tU
you're my-r"
"Yes, George. I know all that; Mj
you're broke,"

The Bubble Bunt.
Young Tom was spending Chriil
mas In the country and had been l?
vitcd to the beautiful home of aiwMfi
young thing named Agnes.
"What a charming place!" he i*M
enthusiastically, to Agnes' proud p**
... "Does it go as fnr as tbo*
woods over therST*
"It does," remarked the somewbil
[? unsympathetic father.
| "Ah," said Tom, still cheerily; "*?<l
to that old stone wall over thef*
sir?"
?? "It does," came the gruff Answer; |
. "and It goes as far as the river on the
south, and to the main rond on tU
north."
"Beautiful I" put In Tom.
"Yes," went on the old man, "bat
It doesn'f go with Agnes!"
Then Tom faded peacefully troa
?lew.
Stockings for Christmas Only.
The Christmas stocking ns gcnerallJ
