Her Secret.

A witness, a Jolly, plump old woman, in a trial in the supreme court of Massachusetts, was asked what time a certain train of cars passed her house. She replied that she began knitting at* three o’clock and had knit twice around the leg of a stocking before it came along. The next question, of course, was how long it would take her to knit twice around. The judge here, in his usual quiet humor, suggested that that would depend upon the size of the stocking. To this the witness remarked that the stocking was for herself and they could exercise their own Judgment as to the size, and guess how long it would take.
