Judge Campbell Flournoy, formerly of Kentucky but now of Washington, was making a horseback tour through the mountains of his state once up on a time, when a shaggy hillsman rode down a creek and joined him. As they jogged along side by side, the native, after asking the stranger's nameand business, volunteered some information touching upon himself. "I oughter be plowin' my cawn," tie said; "but I jest natchelly felt like I had to ride down to the county seat today. Them pesky fellers down thar have fotched up a lawsuit agin me and I got to go see about it." "What's the lawsuit about?" inquired the judge. "Hil'c oKa?1 t m %r till VI UUVUI 111J 1 <1111U1 -1 Li-1 il ? They fotched hit up agin me on account of my killin' him with a double-barrel shotgun here about two weeks ago. That's the third lawsuit they've fotched up agin me fur-shootin-' somebody; and I'm a gittin' mighty tired of it." Next day when Judge Flournov dropped into the courthouse he found the object of litigation on trial upon an indictment alleging murder in the first degree. Little Willie felt indisposed, and the family doctor ordered him to take a powder. "Come on, dear" said mother, coaxingly when the powder arrived, "take this; it will make you quite well at once." "Don't want to!" wailed Willie, backing away from the teaspoon. Don't want any medicine!" "Oh, Willie," said his mother reproachfully, as she drew the small boy near to her, "vou've never heard me comolain ahont a powder, have you?" "No, and neither would I," was young Willie's startling re ply, "if I could just put them on my face as you do. But I have to swallow it!"?New York Her-J aid. The lawyer had a somewhat difficult witness, and finally asked if he was acquainted with any of the men on the jury. "Yes, sir," replied the witness, "more than half of them."
