i ON THE WITNESS STAND. Ths Right of ■ Witnsss to Qualify Hie Answers. Like Stevenson’s child, ns a rule, tho witness should »>peak only when he is spoken to. He should not volunteer anything except that when he Is asked a question which with apparent innocence could really be answered “Yes” or “No” ho has a right to qualify a plain "Yes” or "No." This of course happens most often In the case of experts. The "Yes. but I will explain,” and “No, but I will explain,” of one of the distinguished expert witnesses for the commonwealth in the case of commonwealth versus Quay, which was tried before Judge Biddle in the court of quarter sessions of Philadelphia county several years ago still linger in the writer’s memory. It is a mistaken notion that a witness is bound to answer “Yes” or “No.” It is surprising that such should have ever been the received theory, but then the hunting down of witches and the expounding of the doctrine of witchcraft were regarded as proper judicial functions only a century or two ago. The theory as to categorical reply was completely exploded by the gentleman who propounded the question, “When are you going to stop beating-your wife?” and demanded a categorical answer. If the lawyer attempts to tell you that you must answer “Yes” or “No” you have the right to say that the question is one which is noj susceptible of a categorical answer. This should floor counsel for the moment Mannerly behavior on the part of witnesses includes keeping one’s temper under almost all provocations. Cross examination for the purpose of testing your memory is not intended to be and should not be regarded as insulting. It should therefore not be resented.' If the cross examination transcends all bounds and your patience is exhausted a sharp retort will not necessarily injure your testimony with the jury. The Jury sympathizes with the witness more than with the lawyer, and, while mere smartness for the sake of being smart or because of a too expansive personality is to be deplored, you will be sure of a sympathetic audience if you are in the right and counsel in the wrong.—lra Jewell Williams in Green Bag. UNDER AN UMBRELLA. An Expensive Adventure of a Famous Parisian Wit. Romleu, the famous Parisian wit, was one day caught in a shower and forced to seek refuge in a doorway of the opera house. It was 6 o'clock already, and he had an engagement in the Case de Paris for that very hour. The rain fell in torrents. There was no carriage to be had. He had no umbrella. What was to be done? While he was lamenting his bad luck a gentleman with a large umbrella passed by. Romleu was seized with a sudden inspiration. He rushed out and grasped the stranger by the arm and gravely installed himself under the protecting umbrella. “I am overjoyed to see you,” he immediately began. “I have been looking for you for two weeks. I wanted to tell you about Clementine.” Without giving the stranger time to express his surprise Romieu rattled away with gossip and anecdote until he had led the unknown companion to the door of the Case de Paris. Then he glanced at him with a face of well feigned astonishment “Pardon, monsieur?” he cried. "It seems I am mistaken.” “I believe so,” said the stranger. "Good gracious!” added Romleu. "Be discreet Don’t repeat what I have told you.” "1 promise you.” "A thousand pardons!” Romleu hastened within the case and amid great laughter told the adventure to his friends. Suddenly one of them said: “Your cravat is rumpled.” Romieu put his hand to bls neck and turned pale. His pin, a valuable sapphire, was gone. On further examination his purse and watch were found to be gone. The man with the umbrella was a pickpocket—London TitBits. An Italian Superstition. There is an Italian superstition that whenever a king belonging to the house of Savoy dies a huge eagle is to be seen crossing the Alps over the valley of Aosta in the direction of Savoy, and the conviction prevails among the Inhabitants of Aosta that this eagle guides the soul of the dead sovereign to join those of his ancestors in Savoy. When King Charles Albert died at Lisbon, King Victor Emmanuel died at Rome and King Humbert was assasinated at Monza in 1900 the eagle was seen winging its way across the Alps. All other eagles crossing the Alps don’t seem to count for much. Ancient Ropes. Ropes made of various kinds of fiber and leather are of very ancient date. Ropes of palm have been found in Egypt in the tombs of Beni-Hassan (about 3000 B. C.), and on the walls of these tombs Is also shown the process of preparing hemp. In a tomb at Thebes of the time of Thothmes HI. (about 1600 B. C.) is a group representing the process of twisting thongs of leather and the method of cutting leather into thongs. We’re All Alike.
