MY FAVORITE ,R s v:N STORIES cobb k

A Stickler for the Details THIS particular yarn I had from a district attorney of a neighboring state who was present when the thing happened and who, to me. vouched for its authenticity. The grand jury of his county was itt session investigating such criminal cases as had accumulated since the previous term. The clerk read a complaint and a sergeant-at-arms brought in a> badly battered Pole as the chief complaining witness against a fellow-coun-tryman. Through an interpreter, the witness told a remarkable story. In effect, be said this: That he and the defendant bad been friends for years in this country and before that in Poland; that they bad met frequently and that about a year before the defendant, who was married, confided to the witness. who was single, that be hated his wife and that some day he wasgoing to invite her to go boating with him and when he got her out in rhe middle of the river meant to knock her in the tiead with an oar and throw her overboard. The witness stated that, personally, he bad not looked with favor upon this t plan ami at the earliest opportunity bad st-nt a private messenger to his friend’s wife advising her not to go <»n any skiffriding trips with tier husband. in view ot subsequent developments he now was constrained to believe that the busband somehow had learned of this betrayal ot confidence. Through the interpreter, the Pole in the witness chair continued his story somewhat after the following fashion: “Sis weeks ago. when spring Mid come, this man came to me and sugigested that we go fishing. We went up the river several miles. Aftet wed been bshing a little while he pulled out a bottle and invited me to have a , few drinks. I only took tour ot five drinks but somehow it made me sleepy. ! So we landed and I laiti down on the grass. Pretty soon I was waked up by being hammered over tlie head with a club. Before I lost my senses I realized that he'd pulled my overcoat up over my head and tietl it. I'hen he tied my bands ami feet with a piece of rope, hit me a few times more on the head and threw me in the water. But some fellows on the upper floor of a carpet factory on the hank saw me in the river and hauled nu? out and took me to the hospital where I’ve been ever since.” His evidence having been completed the foreman excused the bandaged victim, but before be could quit the chair one ot the grand jurors, who had been listening with rhe utmost interest to the startling story, halted him and informed the interpreter that, in the interests of justice to all. he desired to put one question. “What do you wish me to ask him?” inquired the interpreter. ‘‘You ask this man whether, when he went fishing with the defendant, did he have a license to fish?” • * • One Who Could lake a Hint A FRIEND ot mine spends a part ot each summer ori a ranch in Wyoming. One ot tils friends rhet is a cow-band who answers t<* the name of Shorty because he is upwards ot seven feet tall. Shorty has rather a quaint way of expressing himself. When the Easterner arrived at the ranch for his annual visit’ Shorty met him at the railroad station with a team and a buckhoard As they started on the six-mile drive to the ranch bouse the visitor asked the news Os the neigltborh<H>d. Finally the .conversation worked around to Shorty’s personal affairs. “How about that pretty girl over in Rawhide ('reek that you were courting last year about this rime?' askedi my friend. ‘‘Still going to see her, 4’ suppose?” “No,” said Sbofty. “1 gave that girii up.” “Why so? “Well, 1 sort of got the idea that her paw didn’t exactly care to have me bangin round.” “What gave you that notion?” “Ob. somethin that happened.” “Whai happened. Maybe you were only oversensitive?’. "Mehbe I was. Still. It looked to me like a hint I went ovet there one Saturday night r«> see het and 1 was settin in the parlor talkin to her with my arm sort ot around her. when all ot a sudden the do««t opened and rhe old man e«*me tmstiti tn with a six gun in his tiamt atuf 5 t«a>k a couple of shots at me. s«« t jest <teppe<> out of the winder amt went away without waitin for my hat or to say goodby or nnthin' And after I’d cleared the fence I seen him come out with a shovel and shovel all my tracks out of the yard. Somehow i really don’t believe that old man keers for me.” (ffi. bv the McNaugbt Syndicate lne.» Tricky Memory The habit of forgetfulness causes a heap of unnecessary labor. 1 once knew a man back East who could seldom remember whether or not he had locked his store when he went home, and, of course, he had to trudge back and try the door, and half the time he could not remember whether he had gone back to try the door tonight or last night. Not much sense in (>ermitting a memory to act so.—Portland Oregonian. Meter Measurement* All measures ot length end in meter, of capacity in liter and of weight in gram. For practical purposes it is assumed that one cubic decimeter equals one liter and one liter of water weighs one kilogram.
