A Modest Witness.

Counsel—Did I understand you to say that Mr. Jones had but one leg? Witness (the same maiden lady who always retired to her own room when she wished to change her mind) —No, sir.; I said one limb. Counsel—Had he lost an arm or a leg, or two legs and an arm, or two arms and a leg? "Witness (determined not to shock the modesty of the court) —He had two arms, sir. but he walked with crutches. —New York Telegram.
