THE STRATFORD MIRROR wae From Southern States Thought - His Majesty Lived in This City | A big Ameri¢an car stopped on Rich- mond street, London, the other' day, before the postoffice, and a lady alight- ed and accosted A. W. Ferguson, of London, on his way to work, about 8.30 "Can you tell me how to get to the palace " she asked. Mr. Ferguson was a little bewilder- ed "The palace?" he began," and his | hesitation was noticeable. "You don't mean Queen's Park?" "Where the King and Queen lives," aided the lady of the car. "King George, you know, and Queen Mary. I think it's called Buckingham, or, something like that." Mr. Ferguson explained that their Majesties lived in London, England, and then the lady said: "Well, how is this country governed then, if the King doesn't live here. Do you have @ president?" "Only a premier and a Parliament," said the Londoner, who then proceed- ed to instruct the visitor from one of the Southern States, just how the Dominion of Canada is administered as an independent British dominion. CUNNING WITNESS. Jim Murphy had been accused of Selling liquor illicitly, and the prosecu- ting attorney was endeavoring to ant. He stated that he had delivered freight to Murphy and the freight was in a barrel, but when asked what the barrel contained he replied that he did not know. "Don't know. Wasn't the marked?" asked the attorney. "Yes, sir." "Then how dare you tell the court that you don't know what was in it?" "Because, sir, the barrel, was mark- ed "Jim Murphy on one end and Boudon whisky on the other." "How did I know which was in it?" * * * THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS My friend Casey had a friend named Sullivan, who was very sick and as barrel the physician that he wouid sit up with him. Well, the doctor told Cnsey to administer a powder at 10 o'clock and to give him just what he could get on a dime and no more. He tcok a dime from his pocket and showea Casey the necessary portion and cau- tioned him against an over dose. Casey said he understood and the doctor left, of course without leaving the dime. The next morning when he called he found the man dead. He said to Casey, "did you give him the dose, I prescribed?" Casey said: "Of course, I did, I didn't have a dime so I put it| on two nickels."
