Hia Honor Was Safe.

Chief Justice Isaac Russell of the court of special sessions tells how he went to the city hall to call on the mayor on a rainy day, and as he was leaving the building he slipped and bumped all the way down the stone steps. A man rushed up, helped him to his feet and asked: “Is your honor hurt?” “No,” replied the Judge! “my honor remains intact, but my spine seems to be Jarred.” —New York Sun. Unless you know your duty how will you be able to dodge it?
