CLOSE CROPPING-.
A Prominent .1Igst1ce or the Englialt Reuel*
Taken for Prize,Fighter.
Six Honey Hawkins, one of the jus-
tices of the English bench, wears hi$
hair very short—the prize-fighter's cut
—MO IS clean shaven. On two occas-
ions this habit led to Her Majeety's
judge being mistakeu for a member oA
the olas.s to be shenned,
Sir Henry was once waiting to take'
his ticket at the Epsom Railway Sta-
tion, at which there were a number
of resists returning from the races,
One of there was rude to the judge,
who remonstrated (with him, where-
upoa the man invited him to go out-
side and have "what for." Sir Henry
then took oft his hat, thinkieg that,
as the men. were probably of the crim-
inal classes, they wdald recognize him,
and quietly remarked:
"Perbeps yea do riot k,now: who I
am."
"S'elp me, Bob," his assailant said,
edging off, "a. bloomin' prize-fighter,
Not me," an.d the judge was uot further
molested.
Oxi another occasion Sir Henry, out
on a ram.ble, between assizes with a
compttnion, stopped at a wayside inni
and they were soon hard at skittles
with two rustles. Things went on
pleasantly until, in an unguarded mo-
ment, the judge removed his moleskin
cap. Thereupoa one of the rustics,
eyeing him suspiciously, said, "I don't
raised being neighborly, but I'll be
hanged if I'm goin' to play skittles with
a -ticket -of -leave anani"

A Wilkinsburg, family was discussing

strove to recall the name of a certain
composer.
I can't remember it to save my life,
she said, although it is on my tongue's

Doorknob, repeated one of the others.
There is no composer whose namo
