j Stories of the Paris Courts.
Among humorous stories of the Par
Is law courts it is told how a weil
known lawyer, M. Alem Rousseau,
was orice pleading a rather tiresome
case and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, "As
the pi ident is falling asleep I sus
pend my speech." But the judge had
just woke up and cried, "And I sus
pend you from practicing for six
months." Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, I suspend 'myself
forever and ever," and, gathering up
his brief and cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, M- Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president anil the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and, dealing a tre
mendous blow on the desk in front of
him that woke everybody up with a
start, he cried, "Yesterday at this same
hour I was saying"- And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other if they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was pleading at
Versailles on a cold day and remarked
that the judges were all turning more
and more around toward a stove that
gave out a welcome heat "The tribu
nal behind which I have the honor of
speaking" brought them all right about
face at once.
He Had a Claim.
In a certain town was a young law
yer whose father was very rich and
who had been sent to an eastern law
school. Since his graduation he had
done nothing except open an office be
cause he had plenty of money. This
young lawyer was proposed for mem
bership in the local fire company.
"We cannot elect him," one of the
members protested. "The constitution
of our company says that the mem
bers of it must sleep and live here in
the city, and he lives out of town on
a farm and not In the city at all. He
would be of no value at all in case of
a fire at night He doesn't sleep here
at night"
"No," replied his proposer; "it is true
he doesn't sleep here at night, but he
sleeps here In his office all day."
And they elected him on that ground.

The Simple Maid.
'Twas in a simple country town, and
the maid of all work was simple and
Innocent in sympathy. When she re
turned from shopping half a sovereign
?hort in her change Mrs. Mango
Chutney was naturally incensed.
"Go back to each shop, you careless
girl," she told the weeping maid, "and
tell them you are half a sovereign
short in your money and they must
give it you."
Susan went and was back again In
half an hour. Entering her mistress' j
sanctum, she laid five half sovereigns j
on the table before her. Faithful as j
always, she had carried out Mrs.
Mango-Chutney's instructions to the I
: letter, and each shopkeeper, fearful of '
doing wrong and hurting a fellow crea
ture, had thrust the missing coin upon
the bewildered girl.-London Answers.
The Offending Black Bottle.
; A church member in a lonely district
of Saskatchewan absented himself
from services for some months. On I
being approached on the subject he
said he was sorry, but it was impossi
ble to attend any more. He was
pressed to giv3 reasons and at length
said it was owing to the bad conduct j
of the superintending clergyman and '
catechist.
He and others had witnessed them I
drinking when driving round on their
visits. They had passed a black bot
tle from hand to hand. It was impos- |
sible to attend the ministry of such
men. Inquiries proved that the of- !
fending "bottle" was a pair of field
glasses with which the drivers sur
veyed the surrounding country and
tried to locate the various churches, 1
shacks and trails.-Sunday at Home.
Not Always.
"Whenever I hear the suffrage com
bated," said an English lord, "on the
score of woman's protected, sholtered,
petted life I think of a poor woman 1
once questioned in England.
"This poor creature had been beaten
by her husband in a drunken fury.
The man had been drunk, it appears,
for ten days running.
"'My good friend,' I said to her,
.does your husband always drink like
that?"
'"No, my lord,' she answered. 'Some
times I gets hout o' work.' "
A Witty Retort.
An Englishman In Dublin was asked
by an Irish cab driver if he wished to
ride through the city.
"No," replied the Englishman; "I am
able to walk."
"Ah, well," remarked thc Jehu, "may
yer honor long be able, but seldom
willing!"
. Forgot the Proverb.
I "You may not get any more business
from me. I've bought a law book."
"I won't worry," responded the law
yer. "In that case I shall probably
get more business than ever."-Wash
