Remarkable Gift

It was said of Judge John Edmonds that he was never at a loss for a witty reply. “What a stupid person Mr. Brown is!” said some one to the Judge, referring to a man who was an extremely prosy speaker and blessed with a lead voice, which he used to its utmost capacity. “Indeed, I. consider him a moat Remarkable man,” sakl the judge promptly. "He’s the only man I know who can fill a house and empty It at the same time.”
