Here is a story which Baron Douse, the celebrated
English judge, once told in that exagger
ated Irish "brougue" which he loyed to employ:
"I was down in Cork last month, holding assizes.
On the first day, when the jury came in, the officer
of the court said:
" 'Gentlemen av the jury, ye'll take your accustomed
places, if ye plaze.'
"And may I never laugh. said tbe baron, "if
they didn't all walk into the dock!"—London

Patrolman Casey had ordered a pair of shoes at
Rosenberg's store and was about to try one of
them on when the clerk reached for a box and
deftly sprinkled some French chalk in it to ease
the forthcoming strain. When he handed it back
to the patrolman he threw it on the floor, pulled
on his own shoe and started out.
The proprietor had noticed the scene. "What's
the matter, Mr. Casey?" he panted as he caught
up with him. "Was the clerk sassy or anything?"
For a moment Casey glared at him in almost
speechless anger, then observed with icy dignity:
"If I can't come into a place to thry on a pair iv
shoes widout havin' chloride av lime put in thim
beforehand I'll thrade somewhere Use."—Success

Mine Inspector Devore of Ohio ordered tbe mine
of the Fort Pitt Coal Co., at Martin's Ferry, 0.,
closed on account of gas an firedamp. Some
time ago the miners tapped old workings and the
gas and firedamp filled the new mine. The mine
was closed until the openings into the old workings
are walled up, which is being done, and it is
expected operations will be resumed shortly.
The Quemahoning Creek Coal Co. is the name
under which Messrs. John C. Brydon, Charles J.
Harrison and Charles J. Harrison, Jr., the last
two of Somerset, Pa., and the former of New
York, will apply for a charter for a corporation
under the laws of Pennsylvania on October 16.
The Cresson shaft of the Pennsylvania Coal &
Coke Co., which was badly damaged by fire about
a year ago is being repaired and will be deepened
to reach the B or Miller vein of coal. Hitherto
only the Lemon seam has been operated.
