The Age of the Cat.

A member of the Hartford county bar, in relating some reminisoenoes of the court in times gone by, told of a ease wherein one. of the famous advocates of that time had badgered and crowded a witness until he lost his temper. The witness incidentally said something about' a cat, and the crafty lawyer seized upon thlw a means of still further worrying the witness. "How old was the cat?" asked the attorney. “I don't know," was the answer. "How old do you think she was?" “It was a Tom-cat.” "I didn't ask about the sex of the cat, I asked how old it was." “You asked how old she was.” “Well, how old was that cat?” “I told you I didn’t know.” “Well, how old do you think?” “Oh, I can’t tell.” “You pan tell how old you think she was.” ”1 tell you, I don’t know.” “Now,” said the attorney, “I want a plain answer to a plain question. How old do you think that cat was ?” The fitness looked straight at the attorney, whose shining bald head was the most prominent feature of his figure, and caliqly said: “Oh, I can’t unese how old the cat was; but she was old enough tb lie baid-headrd.” ' 4 The lawyer’s ruddy face assumed a* deeper hue, the spectators and members of the bar tittered, and even the stern features of the court relaxed into a smile at the' answer w hich ended that line of cross-questioning. —Hartford Times * - » . ■■■ ■ * — , , 5 The Prince of remedies Tor rheumatism is St. Jacobs Oil/ We have' , seen it tried, and great results accomplished.—fiawtinpton, hul.. - -r
