A good story, well told, acts like a
charm upon an assembly. But when
man gets into a crowd, who like
breVity in most everything, and COM
mences to relate an anecdote as long
as the moral law, it acts like an opiate.
We happened to be with party the
other evening, when one of those long
Wlnded customers got on strain
which lasted until the entire audience
were fast asleep-apparently. But
when the story-teller remarked that
"he would finish the story if he put
everybody in the community to sleep
the party reused themselves and bore
the affiiction with christian fortitude.

INSURANCE COMPANY,

, MARY W. BROWN.
Error to the Circuit Court of Chickasaw
county, Hon. j. A. Green, Judge
Defendant in error brought suit upOn a
policy of life insurance taken out bv her
husband Ill his lifetime upon his life, for
her benefit. The Company defended on the
ground that the husband in his application
Ior the insurance, stated that he had never
received any serious personal injury
whereas, in fact, he had, in boyhood re-
ceived wound on the head, by which his
skull had been fractured and been healed
by the operation known as trephining.
On the trial the Company asked the Court
for an order to have the body of the de-
ceased eXhumed with view of ascertain
ing whether in fact such fracture had been |
sustained. The motion was based upon an
affidavit stating that defendants were ad-
vised, and believed the fact to be so, but
found it impossible to prove it, by reason
OF the fact that the bOyhoOd of deceased
had been spent, and the injury, if it occur
red, had been received in Kentucky, and
they found it impossible TO produce any
witnesses living within the jurisdiction of
the Court who could testify to the occur
renee. The motion was denied by the !
Court. n trial was had resulting in a ver- =,
