Gave It Up. A friend of the writer recently made application for u public appointment in a small Scottish town, and, thinking that ids chances of success would bo greater by a little judicious canvassing, be resolved to call upon a few of the town councilors, in whose hands the appointment lay. Of the civic dignitaries' posiliou iu private life he knew nothing. Journeying to the town In question, lie hired a cab at the railway stalioii and requested the jeliu to take him to Councilor Blsset’s, the treasurer. The councilor was found In Ids blacksmith’s shop shoeing a horse. ••I’ll see somebody of more importance than tliis, anyhow,” said the candidate to himself, and, turning to the i.river, he said, “Drive me to Councilor Maitland's olllce.” The cabman thereupon drove him to the local joiner’s shop. This was worse even than the smithy, and in despair he ejaculated: "Drive me to Councilor Gray’s.” “I am Councilor Gray, sir,” replied the cabman. The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid his fare ami disappeared, resolved to leave ids fate in their bauds without prejudicing them in any way iu his favor. — London Standard.
When Life Was Little Valued. The 223 capital offenses which the old English law recognized as punishable by death did not keep down crime, and with the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes hut murder crime in England, as well as everywhere else all over the world where Hie death penalty has been modified, lessened markedly, notes the Boston Traveler. Edmond Burke said that he could in his time obtain ilte assent of the house of commons to any bill that carried (be death ptinisliinenl. A man’s life was not very valuable In those strenuous days. If he scratched his name on Westminster bridge, if he wore a wig or false mustache or any oilier disguise on a public road, if he cut down a young tree. If he stole property worth more than 81.27). If he hail been transported for crime and returned a day ahead of the expiration of his term of punishment. If he wrote a threatening letter.

Lc-adir : Freight by Cards. “I d '| I now whether the practice is still kept up In the far south, but 1 rememlier how tickled 1 was at seeing the method used In loading goods into freight cars down in Mississippi some while ago,” said a railroad man of St Louis. “A lot of strapping black fellows will be on the job under the supervision of a white man, who will he issuing orders with great volubility. ‘I’ut (Ids aboard the king of diamonds; lake this to Hie ace of hearts; load this on the ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs,' and so on, and then you’ll notice each one of the long line of freight cars has tacked on it some one of the fifty-two cards composing a full deck.

Cruel Spring. The talk In the village hostelry had been on the subject of vegetable freaks, but at length it veered round to goats. “Did ever you keep a goat, Bill?" Inquired a gray whiskered gentleman in a corner seat. “Did 1 ever!” answered the little man addressed with rustic familiarity. "I bought one last Christmas what nearly brought me to the work'us. Eat anything, from tins o' blackin' to flatirons, that goat would. Lucky thing for me the spring killed It.” “I didn’t know the seasons affected goats,” observed the gray whiskered gentleman. “Who’s talkin’ about seasons?" came the reply. "It was the spring of our alarm clock what 'e made a meal of one day as done it!"—London Express.
Generally the Case. “I wish you would mention this to Jinks. It Is highly important." “I’ll mention it to him today." “But how do you know you will see him today?” "I’m hound to bump into him. I owe him money."—St Paul Pioneer Press.
