The Heal Name.

Judge Nathan Webb, who resigned recently from the United States District Court for the District of Maine, is known to the members of the bar for his downright good sense. Ho hates shams and "frills,” and when on the bench liked to take the starch out of poses. This trait was illustrated In his court some time ago by a little episode which the Boston Herald recalls. A witness on the stand gave bis name as T. Augustus Browne. His condescending manner exhausted the patience of the court, and Judge Webb asked him: “What did you say your name is?" “T. Augustus Browne with an c,” repjled the witness. “Well, what does the T stand for?” asked the judge. “Thomas,” was the answer. “Proceed with the testimony of Mr. Thomas A. Browne with an el” said the judge.
