Oncona a while, however, his theory
receives a setback be samething in

At a police court situated near a
garrison town in the west of Eng-

brought up charged with fighting in
the street,
He was a tall, well-built, strapping
young felIoww, but evidently an old of-
fender, for the magistrate, after in-
flicting a fine, which was paid by a
friend of the prisoner in court, asked
him if he had any work to do.
The prisoner replied that be was

"You seem to be frequently getting
into trouble by drinking and fight-

you go for a soldier ?"
"Not me," was the answer. "I slid

;A very 'windy night recently caused
a correspondence between a retired
808 captain and a lawyer, who live
next door to each other, and have
had words. The lawyer was reading
a book in his study when a terrible
crash upstairs startle] bine.
Upon investigation he fotilld tdtat
a chimney had hurled itself through
his roof, doing considerable damage,
and soon discovered that it was the
sea captain's chimney. Hastening
down to Itis library he pulled out
his law books and hunted up similar
cases, with a view to getting satis-
faction from the captain.
