MEW JERSEY SOLOMON. 4TMU of the Pae IUndri D. clalon Mot Unlike That of the 'mow DlbU Character. Magistrate Jermon once spent a Bum mer In a little town In South Jersey and mad the acquaintance of a justice of the peace who held more offices than Pooh Bah himself. "He was," says Jermon, according to the Philadelphia Press, "a notary publie, a storekeeper, superin tendent of the Sunday school, a lay preacher, postmaster, coroner, a farmer and a few more things that I can't recall cow. He was a shrewd eld fpllnw os n decision in a case that I heard will go to show. Two frrmers had z db jute about the owr:erEiii) of some povlirand ficl; pleaded his own ease. Each sdCe had ai. equal number of witnesses and there was some tall swearing done all around. If I had been sitting on the case I should have given it up as a bad job, or sent It to court for trial. But that's just what he didn't do. "I forgot to state that In addition to all his other functions he was his own con stable. The hens were in court In a coop and he ordered that the constable should take the coop to the roadway op posite the farms of the litigants and tun; the creatures loose. And he old the job himself and got his fee for doing it. The. hens settled the case themselves by go ing directly to one of the farms, and the justice declared that they knew their way home, and gave judgment accordingly." Boer Treasure Is Found.

If the sultan of Morocco, Muley Abd--el-AzU, loses his throne, It perhaps might be due to the discontent of his subjects In seeing him adopt eo precip itately European manners and habits. The sultan disregards this danger, how ever, and when he wants a thing Euro pean, he must have it At once, says the New York Tribune. One night there was a great noise In front of the residence of an Englishman Inhabiting Morocco. Immediately the soldiers of the palace struck the door violently exclaiming: "Dr.ba! Dabal w3ek3 jv3cV! j. The matter wants all the sariu VU iv Jn your house!" The Englishman was not a sarrilre merchant, but handed ovfr what few boxes he had, and learned later tha unly a few hours before a foreign min ister had presented to the sultan a few box of sardines, which were opened In the harem and partaken of by all the Inmates. Such a sudden frensy was created for them that on the morrow a special rak Scas was dispatched to Tangier, with or ders to brlrjg all the sardines in the place. KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM.

The necessity of keeping the boys on the farm wsn the subject of a discussion as to what the teacher can do for the community. A teacher's power in deter . mining the Industry of a community lies in mailing her schoolroom a busy work shop, where the rights of others and the nobility of honest toll are taught The bulletin which Is being sent out by the state fu: erintendent deals with the relation of the teacher to the school, her patrons and the locality.

Some time ago a rumor went round that astute publishers had in their pay a large number of the most attractive dlners-out. Your neighbor at table would lead the conversation to the latest novel quite the easiest of conver sational openings between strangers, who lay their heads together over the menu and have to entertain each other for an hour. You are interested in the description of the book of the hour, you are a little ashamed of not having read it, and going home you sit down and or der the book from the circulating li brary. Every publisher, every theater manager, every deviser of a patent med icine knows that the advice of a friend is a more concentrated and personal pull than the opinion of a critic from the empyrean. And if the idea was ever carried out, it deserved to succeed, but no one ever spotted the paid diner out. There was the artistry of the thing. London Chronicle.
