The familiar anecdotes which are told as illustrations of Chief Justice Hale's integrity are very ridiculous, but they serve to show that the judges of his time were believed to be very accessible to corrupt influences. During his tenure of the Chiefship of the Exchequer, Hale rode the Western Circuit, and met with the loyal reception usually accorded to judges on circuit in his day.
She did not grow in knowledge so much as she awakened in the matter of desire. Mrs. Hale's extended harangues upon the subjects of wealth and position taught her to distinguish between degrees of wealth. Mrs. Hale loved to drive in the afternoon in the sun when it was fine, and to satisfy her soul with a sight of those mansions and lawns which she could not afford.
'God bless you! said Mr. Hale, starting up; then, calming down, he said breathlessly, 'What do you mean? Tell me out. 'I have telled yo', said Higgins, a little surprised at Mr. Hale's agitation.

That's the Reverend Norman Hale's club for working-girls, you know. We're going to give a play. And, as I'm on the Press Committee, it's quite proper for me to go to the newspapers and get things printed." "Humph!" grunted Dr. Elliot. "Well: good hunting Pumess." After the girl had gone, he sat thinking.
'Please, ma'am, did you order the pound of butter? 'No, Sally, I said, shaking my head, 'this morning I did not go round by Hale's farm, and this afternoon I have been employed in spiritual things. "Now, our Sally likes tea and bread-and-butter above everything, and dry bread was not to her taste. "'I'm thankful, said the impudent hussy, 'that you have taken a turn towards godliness.

The Lobore are immensely powerful men, and they carried the boxes of Hale's rockets as single loads, although weighing upwards of seventy-two pounds. At the same time they quarrelled among themselves as to the choice of parcels, and I could with difficulty prevail upon them to carry the zinc boat, although it did not exceed 130 lbs.
"What are the students to do without their Professor?" "I have already completed my academic duties. Take my arm, and we shall walk in the sunshine. Surely we cannot wonder that Eastern people should have made a deity of the sun. It is the great beneficent force of Nature man's ally against cold, sterility, and all that is abhorrent to him.
