' One New Tear's day Bennett arrived : it the Union Club towards night, hnv- made many calls.

He was known «|l over the country ae a genial, wiiole- eouled fellow, and the lawyers who Made their living at his bar, looked at the old man in surprise. The Judge took his seat, and for a moment seemed to be revolving in his mind the wheel # of a serious problem. At last lie looked and asked: "DofcS anybody chew tobacco in this Court-room P" No one replied. "1 moan does anybody in this court-room chew tobacco t The educated gentlemen who present will please excuse my rhe­ torical error. Nobody chews tobacco? I am much disappointed.
