of the day.

The first case on the list in the Lord Chief's Court to-day is
no other than _The King_ v. _The Dean and Chapter of Mumborough
Cathedral_. While it is not expected that his Majesty's engagements
will permit him to be present, an action of this character is fraught
with more than common interest, since it must be seldom that the Royal
House finds itself in such conflict with the Church as to resort to
the arbitrament of the law.

We see no reason why some legal engagements should not be boldly
displayed, the more readily to catch the reader's eye. Why not the
following:--

ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE.
ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE.
ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE.
YOU MUST NOT MISS THIS!
Chancery Court No. 29,
Before
Mr. Justice Howling,
_Binks_ v. _Arcana Cinema Company, Ltd._

As one of the leading comedians of the day Mr. TIM BINKS never fails
to create roars of laughter, and with Mr. JUSTICE HOWLING may be
relied upon to put up a show provocative of never-failing mirth.

CHEER YOURSELF UP! ADMISSION FREE!

THE LOBSTER.

The lobster is an oblong crab
With one or two antennae;
I fancy life would be less drab
If people had as many.

I think he uses them to smell,
But what he most enjoys
Is rubbing them against his shell;

He rubs away like anything,
And you should see his face!
Alas, he thinks that he can sing;
But that is not the case.

He's very sensitive and shy;
At last when he is dead
_He knows the truth_--and that is why
He goes so very red.

"Your System appealed to me as a rational means of exercise
without undue fatigue, and I started on the 10th of March, 1920.
I was then in my 75th year, and now within only two months of
completing the 85th." _Advt. in Sunday Paper_.

If he keeps it up he should be a centenarian by about the end of next
year. One seems to age rather rapidly under this system.

THE OTHER HALF.

I was sitting by Anderson's fire the other day when his telephone bell
rang. He made the usual insincere exclamation of disgust--as insincere
as t
