Malpractice.
About ono thousand years ago Sadl
wrote; "A man had soro eyes. Ho
went to a horse doctor, who applied
to IiIb oyes what ho used for his
horses. Tho man became blind. Ho
took the caso before tho Judge, who
said: 'No damages; if this fellow wero
not an ass ho would not have gone to
a farrier.' "
If you were born to honor, show It
now;
If put upon you, mako tho Judgment

That thought you worthy of It.

and should bo woll provided for with a
generous stock of papor
napkins and squares ol
paraftln papor. Cracker
boxes aro , lined with
waxed paper and the
boxes themselves mako
fine receptacles for dif
ferent foods for tho
lunch basket. Sand
wiches packed in theso boxes keep
frosh nnd moist. Ginger bread, which
is so good when fresh, may also bo
packed In a cracker box. Cold-cream
Jars or wide-mouthed bottles will bo
largo enough to hold a portion of Jam
or Jelly for a child's lunch. Screw-top
malted milk bottles aro line for car
rying malted milk, cocoa or plain
milk. Sandwiches should bo provided
for satisfying hunger with a pickle or
other relish and a dessert of fruit,
cake or tart
When preparing sandwiches sot tho
butter where it will bo softened by
heat, as It spreads much better.
Crisply fried bacon put between un
buffered bread slices makes a good,
wholesome sandwich.
Corned or roast beef, choppp-1 as for
hash, mixed with chopped onion and
mashed potato, is generally liked.
Codfish made as for fish balls mado
thin, and used ns filling for sand
wichos, Is also delicious.
Peanut butter or peanuts chopped,
mixed with cream' chooso as another
good filler, is most tasty.
Sweet sandwiches served with a
fruit salad and coffee will make a fine
lunch.
Wo must remember in putting up a
child's lunch that it must be some
thing nourishing and quick to cat, for
ho Is anxious to havo more time to
play. Tho school that is up to date
will have some arrangements made to
servo some hot dish llko soup or
cocoa, or oven hot milk. A small
keroseno stovo is a most convenient
part of any school equipment, If tho
heating stovo Is such that there is no
surface for warming food. Children
are always happy with a bit of' fruit.
A bit of candy Is nnothor addition
which is always a delight, and a pleco
or two is not objectionable at tho
close of a meal.

for theft of money from a ship, a wit
uess was called who had turned states'
evidence and whoso testimony went to
provo that Choato's client had Insti
gated tho theft.
"Well," asked Choate, "what did ho
say? Tell us how and what he spoko
to you."
"Why," said the witness, "ho told us
thoro was a man In Boston named
Choato and he'd get us off if they
caught us with tho money lu our
boot's."
