A story about lawyers is contributed by a western correspondent. Mr. Babson, we will call him, was a young lawyer of the town where tbe court was held, while the opposing counsel, Mr. Carter, was a much better known attorney of a neighboring city. Mr. Babson was addressing the jury, and, having explained a point of law to

the jurors, he turned to Mr. Carter with the words: “Isn’t that right?” Mr. Carter thought that he had a very verdant subject on his hands and with a smile of conscious superiority replied: “I have an office in C., and if you have any legal problems that you desire to have solved I shall be pleased to enlighten you for a financial consideration. ” Not in the least abashed, Mr. Babson drew from his pocket a 10 cent piece and held it out toward Mr. Carter with the words: “Here, tell us what you know and hand back tbe change.” In the roar of laughter which followed the court joined.—Youth’s Companion. He Liked the Name. A coroner’s jury was holding an inquest, and the physician had read the result of his autopsy, in which he had found that the subject had suffered from phthisis pulmonalis. The high sounding name of the disease was attractive to the foreman of the jury, who after an earnest discussion with the other members arose and with a smile of consciousness of a duty well perform ed proudly announced, “De jury fetches in a verdict dat de man died of a severe case of ‘gee whiz apollinaris. ’ ” —Philadelphia Record. Know His Audience. “Don’t believe the story, my friends," exclaimed the evangelist who was talk-

ing to young men, “that tbe region ol the lost is paved with good intentions. It isn’t paved at all. It’s harder to ride over than wornout cedar block. It’s rougher than Michigan avenue north oi Jackson street. Come with me, oh, my friends, to the streets that are paved with gold!”—Chicago Tribune. The Way. With her own hands she made the biscuits for his dinner. “Ha!” she muttered, as is customary under these circumstances. At the last moment she concealed a poniard among tbe folds of her dress, for, although the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach it were best to anticipate possible failure. —Detroit Journal. Conflicting Evidence. “Was that a man’s valise or a worn an’s that the police found down by th< railroad track?” asked the city editor. “I dunno," answered the police re porter. “There was nothing in it but one of Zola’s stories, a copy of ‘Tht Dolly Dialogues, ’ a paper sack of cara mels and a pack of cigarettes. ’ ’ —lndian apolis Journal. Spoiled His Metaphor. Some years ago Judge Stipp of Prince-1 ton was pleading a damage case before the Illinois supreme tench. A short time before the court had decided an almost similar case, m which one of the parties had lest fingers, against the injured man, saying in their decision. “The party being an attorney, his injury does not keep him from ‘climbing those heights where fame’s proud temple shines afar Mr Stipp was deep in the point of law when his remarks were interrupted by the justice who wrote the former decision, who said, “Was not this point covered in a decision a short time ago by this court?" "Yes, your honor, ' replied the attorney. “it was. but my-client has lost his toes and has uo claws to ‘climb those heights, etc. The other justices smiled audibly and the lawyer was allowed to finish in peace. —Exchange.
