The mourners saw only the coffin,

The court removed to Windsor the
day before the funeral. The arch-

Wedding Fee Counterfeit.
A well-dressed stranger entered the
office of Justice William B. Williams,
Montclalr. N. J., and after shaking
hands astonished the justice by say-
ing: "I'm here to redeem that coun-
terfeit $10 bill I passed on you. Two
years ago I called on you with my
girl and two witnesses and you mar-
ried us. I handed you a $10 bill. I
had a counterfeit in my pocket book
that I'd carried for several years. I
never mksed it until yesterday. Then
I remembered that I'd accidentally
handed you the bill." The caller pro-
duced a good $10 bill, hut the justice
refused to take it. "Don't let that
worry you, my dear fellow," ha
laughed. "I never knew it was a
counterfeit. No kind of money sticks
to me over night. I'm married, my-
self."
The Valuable Match.
There was a loud splash, and a mo-
ment later a dripping head appeared
above the waves. On the end of the
dock was a stevedore nonchalantly
lighting his pipe.
"Help, man!" cried the chap in the
water. "Can't you see I am over-
board? I can't swim."
"How often have you been down?"
asked the stevedore, shielding the
flickering match from the wind.
"Once, I believe, but hurry up, man!
Give me a hand!"
"You wait! You have two more
times yet to go down, and I have only
one match. I'll catch you on the last
