Smile in Court.

At a recent trial one of the witnesses was a green countryman, unused to the ways of the law, but quick, as it proved, to understand its principles. After a severe cross-ex-amination the counsel for the prosecution paused, and then, putting on a look of severity, exclaimed: “Mr. Kilkins, has not an effort been made to induce yon to tell a different story?” “A different story from what I told, sir?” “That is what I mean.” “Yes, sir; several persons have tried to get me to tell a different story from what I have told, but they couldn’t.” “Now, sir, upon your oath, I wish to know who those persons are.” -Wail i guess you’ve tried ’bout aa hard as any of them.” —Chicago Herald.
