A young woman told a tale of cruel

charitable institution In New York, and
when her case had been disposed of j
she started to leave the room, walling,
"If 1 had only believed the cards!"
She was asked to explulu and said:

parents were pleased with the match.
It was all agreed what I should re
ceive, and we were happy. Then my
father, to And out more about the

with him three times, and when tbe
third card evening was over he said

will not be a good husband.' And then

dicial wits of England, had doubts as
to tbe credibility of a witness on one
occasion, and the uian declared that he
had been "wedded to truth" from in

you been divorced?" A little girl was

and asked him how much be would

the lessons commenced. After two les
sons the pupil, who was somewhat the
worse for wear, remarked to the pro
fessor: "You see, 1 wanted to take
enough lessons so that I could learn
enough about tbe manly art to lick a
j man. I've changed my mind now. I

take tbe rest of the lessous."
