Carson, attorney gen eral of Pennsylvania, satc on the pi azza of a Delaware WVater Gap hotel talking about a very resdurceful and alert lawyer. "His ready wit never fails him," Mr. Carson said: "He is like the fa kir who was selling Hercules cement. This fakir stood on a village street corner with a half dozen women quently his cement virtues, and at the same time he was demonstratin these virtues with actual experiments. He took up a plate, broke it in half, cemented the two pieces with the Hercules and then suspended from the mended plate a ten-pound weight. " *Look-a-here,' he said. 'There is no cement like the Hercules. It is always ready, it needs no heating, and it is as strong as steel. To this pla*e, for instance, I- have just hung a ten-pound weight. I will now re move that weight and substitute a twenty-five pound one The cement. you see. holds firm, I now increase the weight to thirty pounds, and' "Crash! The plate broke. The lit tle audience smiled. But the fakir, not at all perurbed, went right on. " 'And you will observe, ladies, that the plate now breaks with ease, thus giving us an opportunity to cement phe edges more firmly together when ever it is desirable to do so.'
