An Indiana Lawyer.

A somewhat eminent lawyer in Indiana, .ludge Z , given at times to bibulous conviviality, on appearing one morn ng on the streets in Washington, in that State, was actosted by a minister of the gospel as follows: “Well, drunk again as usual. Judge.” To which Judge Z answered: “So am J,” and passed on. The same lawyer visited an Illinois town and got on a spree. A police officer told him if he did not go to his hotel and keep off the street until he got sober, he would be arrested and locked up. To this the Judge answered: “You can’t (hie) do it.” “Why can’t I?” inqu'red the officer. “Because, sir (hie), got no jurisdiction; this is (hie) an Indiana drunk.” While getting shaved this lawyer, who is quite bald-headed, was attempted to be guyed by a doctor whose hair was very profuse. The doctor said: “Why, Judge, you are gettng quite bald.” To this the Judge answered: “Yes, brains and hair don’t grow together. By the way, Doctor, I observe tint you have a fine head of hair.” —Detroit Free Press. The proprietor of the Great Western Poultry Yard, Mr. James E. Goodkey, St. Louis, Mo., is enthusiastic in his praise of Red Star Cough Cure, which cured him after all other remedies failed. He says it neither constipates the oowels nor causes sick headache. Now that the season has arrived when disinfectants are often wanted, it is well to remember that chloride of sodium or common salt is one of the cheapest, most effectual, and harmless. It can be used in strong or weak solution about the person or the premises. — Dr. Foote's Health Monthly. The pain-banisher is a name applied to St. Jacobs Oil, by the millions who have been curedof rheumatism andneuralgia by its use.
