Monroe, "1 saw a witness take down
a lawyer in great fashion. The wit
ness was a farmer, and he was in
court complaining that a certain fel
low had stolen some of his ducks.
" Do you know that these are your
ducks?’ asked the lawyer.

writing last week these two questions: t() (letail }n descr i bing the ducks, and
did not occur to us probably for the telling just why he would know them.
“ 'But these ducks are no different
from any other ducks,’ said the law

at home just like them.’
" ’That’s not unlikely.’ said the far
mer. ‘These are not the only ducks
I have had stolen in the last few
weeks.’ ”
