I INSISTED ON JUSTICE. Some One Had to Suffer to Satisfy the Judge's Conscience. As a burglar was trying to break into a house of a citizen of an oriental city the framework of the second story window to which he clung gave way, and he fell and broke his leg. Limping before the justice the next clay, he maignanuy demanded that the owner of the house be punished. "You shall have justice," said the judge. The owner, being summoned, claimed that the accident was due ^wf5"lhe poor woodwork and that the ^-carpenter, not he, was to blame. , 'That sounds reasonable," said the judge. "Ivet the carpenter be / called." The carpenter admitted that the , ^ window was defective. "But how V eould I do better," said he, "when the mason work was out of plumb?" "To be sure," replied the judge, and he sent for the mason. mocnn r?nt. dr>nv that I a\ A"v vvm(m . the coping was crooked. He explained that while he was placing it in position his attention was distracted from his work by a pretty girl in a blue tunic who passed on the other side of the street. \S "Then you are blameless," said the judge, and the girl was 6ent fer. "I admit," said she, "that I am {iretty, but that's not my fault, and f the blue tunic attracted the mason's attention the dyer, not I, is responsible." "That's good logic," said the judge. "Let the dyer be called." The dver came and pleaded guilty. "Take the wretch," said the judge to the thief, "and hang him from liis own doorpost." The people applauded this wise tlentence and hurried off to carry it ?nf Qnnn nnd re ported that the dyer was too tall to be hung from his doorpost. "Find a short dyer and hang him instead," said the judge, with a yawn. "Let justice be done at any cost." Hi# Bright Idea. was digging a ditch. On the I first day of the job he dug and dug, but made small progress. He went back next morning only to find that what he had done the day before was entirely wiped out bv a cave-in. Then a brilliant idea occurred to Pat. Half burying his pick and Shovel in the earth, leaving only / IUC l'IIU3 SUVA 11 uui, lit lOiviun; "1 threw his coat and dinner pail over the edge of the cave-in and then hid. In a short time people came along, took in the situation at a glance, jumped at the conclusion that the laborer had been caught in the fall of the bank and went to work hastily, trying to uncover his body. Half an hour later three sweating and puzzled men stood by the nearly completed ditch and wondered where the buried man was. Then Pat came out from his retirement and said: "Thank ye, gentlemen. 1 knowed you'd bite on that/' I Ready Wrth tha Ancwar. f Miss Baiter, feeling the effect# of a torrid afternoon in June, was ^attempting to arouse the interest of her languid class by giving, as ahe supposed, an interesting talk on the obelisk. After speaking for half an hour she found that her ef. forte were wasted. Feeling utterly to provoked, she cried: "Evei v word that I have said you have let in at one ear and out of the other. Yon" BB ?pointing to a girl whom she notieed had been particularly inattentive throughout the entire leaaon? ^B "tell me, what is an obelisk?"

Aunt Matilda, who was favored with a visit from her favorite nephew, told the youngster to 6oak his feet in a tub of salt water if he wanted to toughen them. She knew he loved to go barefoot. He soaked his hands too. Then, after thinking about it for a few moments, he said to himself: "It's pretty near time for me to get a licking. Tomorrow I'm going to sit in it."?Ladies' Home Journal.

A London publishing house for a long time kept a book in which were noted the curious blunders made by those who asked for books. "Worcester's Diseases of the Colander'' was asked for. "The Worcester Diocesan Calendar" was what was required. "River Frozen, Silent Gold and Unstepped Lands" was demanded. The book wanted was Rev. Frazer's "Silent Gods and Sun Steeped Lands." "Play Actress," by Crockett, Pseudonym Library, was turned into "Play Actress and Cricket In the Pandemonium library." "The Boy Hero," by Walsham How, was wanted, but the collector asked for "The Boy Hero of Walthamstow," and the same genius turned "Frondes Agrestes" into "Bounders and Heret'cs." # Saved His Boy's Life "My three year old boy was badly constipated, had a high fever and was in an awful condition, I gave him two doses of Foley's Orino Laxative and the next morning the fever was gone and he was entirely well.

One of the beet attractions at the State Fair this year, which will be leld in Columbia beginning Monday, October 26th, and closing Friday, October 30th, will be the Field Crop Department. This new feature will prove of nterest to every farmer In the State. It will be under the management ot Prof. J. N. Harper, Director of the -lemson Experimental Station, who Is >ne of the best agricultural experts In he South. Professor Harper has personally solicited the exhibits for this lepartment, and will arrange everything to advantage. He will be as-Isted by his whole corps of expert associates, and It will be worth the trip to the fair Just to talk to these expert men and get their ideas on practical farming. Clemson College will have a big exhibit In this department, but will not be allowed to compete with the lndi vidual exhibit*. Some tine prizes win be awarded the farmers. For Instance. ISO will be Riven for the largest yield if corn to the acre, J25 for the second best, and cotton will have the sam nmount awarded for the best yield per icre. Dozens of other Interesting contests have been provided. President Mobley, being a practical stockman himself. Is giving much attention to this part of the fair. There will be more thoroughbreds shown than ever before. The stalls have all been renovated and the pure water from the city has been connected, so that the rattle and stock will be well taken rare of. This will be good news to hundreds of breeders who might otherwise have hesitated to send their finest to the fair. The poultry show bids fair to be a grand success this year. There seems to be more interest in every department. The management believes this will be the largest and best fair v "Vld here. Information as to the will be cheerfully supplied by it John G.
