tiou of the ground found a thimblerlg

Now would the gent like to w it

Yes was the reply
The money was on both sides depos
ited and the pedestrian lifting up he
thimble pointed out the required -
and took the stake
A ti ond bet double or quits ivd
ed to the surprise of the expert in the
same result
Then a third wager a pound or
nothing steadied the nerves of the
loser and the trick was accomplished
with great caution The gentleman
lified up the thimble and showed the
pea at the same time pocketing the
stacs
Shelp me etc 1 didnt put it

traband of war And on the conclu
sion of peace a measure was passed
through the German reichstag which
forbade under penalty of death any
future similar aerial violation of Ger
man territory during time of war
So Jong ago as 1S30 again balloon
ascents were made illegal in Turkey
so far as regsirds Constantinople and
forty miles around and in 1S72 the pro
hibition was extended to include the
entire Turkish empire To France
however belongs the distinction of hav
ing made the first laws for the regula
tion af aerial traffic In 17S4 it was
Solemnly decreed that nobody should
be permitted to go up in a balloon or
any other kind of aerostatic machine
which was worked by burning spirits
of wine or any other means of making
a fire
Later in IS11 it was enacted in
France that henceforth no halloon
whether free or captive should he per
mitted to ascend with any species of
furnace or stove that no one should
be allowed to ascend in a balloon un
less he carried a parachute and that
ascents were not to be begun later
than one hour before sunset nor earlier
than an hour after suurise Further
more no ns oets whatever were to he
undertaken during the garnering of the
harvest
thereto
nor for six weeks prior

By one of those queer marriage set
tlements sometimes made in England
a young man agreed to pay his wifes
mother 100 on the first day of each
jear He settled in Canada and when
he came to make the remittance he
deducted the amount of the postage
and sent her only 99S4 The mother-in-law
insisted that she must have the
other 1G cents and after they had
quarreled by mail about it for a
month or two she had her attorneys
bring suit against him in the Ontario
courts She made him pay too and
stuck him for the cost of the action
though she was obliged to fee her
own lawyers The total expenses of
this sixteen cent lawsuit were said to
be exactly 012 most of which fell
upon the economical son-in-law
