The Magistrate turned to the man and said, "You are accused of beating your wife. Do you plead guilty or not guilty!"

"Guilty, sir," said the little man without a moment's hesitation.

"Thirty shillings or seven days." said the Magistrate.

After the session was over, one

of the Court officials asked the Magistrate if he had not been. rather severe in punishing the little fellow.

"Certainly not," replied the Magistrate. "I had to punish him for boasting."

You have heard of dual per- sonality? M

Well, it is exemplified in R. L. Stevenson's, fine story.. entitled "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,"

Dr. Jekyll, an eminent physician, discovers how to separate his good and his evil selves, arid to the latter is given the name, Mr. Hyde. Whenever he tires of virtue, the physician switches over and becomes Mr. Hyde, a dis tinct physical entity, until his evil: personality gains such power that he can no longer. be transferred back again,

In the end, Mr. Hyde, his. horrible, and apelika person- ality, commits murder, and it. isin vain that the soul of Dr. Jekyll cries frantically from the lips of Hyde.
