For the Lawyers.
In the incident related below, a
boy twelve years old conqued a smart
and shrewd lawyer, fighting for a
bad cause.
Walter was the important witness
and one of the lawyers, after crossquestioning
him severely, said.
'K "Your father ha3 bsen talking to
you and telling you how to testify,
hasn't he?"
"Yes," said the boy.
' Now," said the lawyer, "just tell
us how your father told you to tesli*
fj."
"Well," said the boy, modestly,
"father told me that the lawyers
would try to entangle me, but if I
would just be careful and tell the
truth, I could tell the same thing
every time."
The lawyer didn't try to tangle up
that boy any more.
