A Daring Ealclmo Lover.
A young Eskimo had secretly courted
the daughter of an enemy. The huts
of the lovers were not far removed,
but one night the terrific cold ripped a
great crevasse in the ice, and the young
man's bous6 was left isolated. A gorge
100 feet deep and Jtwenty feet wide
separated it from 4he igloo, or hut,
containing his sweetheart, but there
was a narrow bridge of ice left across
the crevasse, and this, the young man
found, would bear his weight Eski
mos sleep in bags. The lover decided
that he would that night cross the ice
bridge, steal the maiden he loved, bear
hev to his hut and then break down the
bridge so that he and she together
might enjoy their honeymoon unmo
lested. He planned very successfully.
He crept in the dead of night into his
enemy's hut, he snatched up the maid
en in her sack without awaking any
one, he bore her over the ice bridge
safely, and then he opened the sack to
embrace his bride but, beholding its
contents, he gave a loud cry. It was
not the maiden, but her father, that he
had stolen.

A Btory well known to lawyers of the
last generation is about the "umbrella
case." A man was charged with steal
ing an uoibrella, and a number of wit
nesses went into the box to testify to
the offense. The counsel for the de
fendant noted that each witness car
ried an umbrella (the time of year was
midsummer, which explains the neces
sity for these impedimenta). As a
matter of fact the prisoner had no de
fense to make. The barrister, thrown
on his wits, exclaimed: "Gentlemen of
the jury, did you not notice that each
of the witnesses carried an umbrella
into the box? Why Is this, gentlemen?
It is done in order to infect your minds
wltb the idea of an umbrella, to preju
dice V10 prisoner in your eyes, to raise
•a false issue,' and 1 appeal to you
to signify your detestation of this con
certed action by bringing in a. verdict
of not guilty." The judge, who im
agined that little attention would be
paid to such a plea, took little time and
less pains to sum up the case. The
jury nevertheless brought In a verdict

Ibsen's GruiZness.
In 1891 Georg Brandes happened to
be with some friends at Sandviken,
near Christiania, when they heard that
Ibsen was staying at the local hotel.
They decided to invite blm to dinner,
but he declined when he was told that
there would be nine persons at the ban
quet. "I never dine with so large a
party," he said. Finally he was per
suaded to say "Yes," but in the mean
time the number of persons whose re
quest to be present Brandes could not
possibly refuse had grown to twenty
two. Ibsen was furious when he dis
covered this, but Brandes muuageu to
get him to the dining room, where, how
ever, the poet looked so forbidding that
champagne had to.be served immedi
ately after the soup to give courage to
the guests. Ibsen acted like a bear all
the evening. When one of the guests,
an actress, remarked that she liked his
roles better than, any others he an
swered gruffly: "I do not write any
roles. I represent characters, and I
never work for any actor or actress."
Had to Keep on Building.
The Canadian Magazine has a story
apropos of a building reputed to be
the highest west of Chicago. The pro
jector found some need of outside help
in financing his expenses and every
Saturday used to exchange checks with
a friend ii pay his building expenses.
At last his friend got tired of these
transactions and said: "Major, I've bad
enough of your checks. You've got
that building high enough already.
Why don't you roof it in?" "I can't af
ford to put the roof on," said the ma
jor. "You see, I have contracted to
pay for the material when I get It
roofed in."
