He Had Doubts.

Several lawyers were chatting on the court house steps about a certain Judge, when joined the party. *" “We were just talking about Judge Blank,” explained one of the legal lights. “What is your opinion of him?” inquired the merchant. “He is the best Judge on the bench.” “Really?” “Yes, and what is more, he is perfectly honest and truthful.” “Why dayou think so?” “Because he has the confidence of every lawyer at the bar. ” The merchant gazed at him a minute, whistled a long, low whistle, and walked away without saying a word. — Merchant Traveler. The Boston Traveller says some people are born to ill luck. An old woman who has pasted nearly five thousand medical recipes into a book, during the past forty years, has never been ill a day in her life, and she is growing discouraged.— l)r.
