PUTTING ON A PoULr1CE


A little Norway boy got a silver in his
foot, and motion to pOultice the wound
made by his mother and seconded by his
grandmother, was carried in spite of his
objections. He kicked and screamed and
protested that he would not submit to
any such indignity, but the majority
against him was two to one, and the
pOultice was made ready, it was arrang-
ed that the grandmother should apply
the pOultice while the patient mother
stood over him with stick, with au-
thOrity and instruction to apply that
also if he made the least show of resist
ance. When all was ready the young
ster was placed on the bed, and opera
tiOn began. As the hot poultice touched
the boys foot he EOpeced his mouth to
say something, but his mother, with
the stick, awed him to silence. Again
the boy strOYe to make himself heard,
again the upraised stick warned him to
keep quiet. In short minute the poul-
tice was firmly in place, and the boy was
tucked up in bed, there to remain until
the medicine had done it's work. As the

LAUGHED OUT.

Occasionally lawyers gift of humOr
may do him better service than his log
ic. This fact was illustrated years ago,
at trial held in Canandaigua, N. Y. a
man was being tried for an attempt to
burglarize the house of one of the mag
mates of the village, Judge Atwater.
Judge was himself the principal wit
ness. With deliberate manner and in
pedantic language he stated that he
was awakened at the "witching time''
of night by an unusual noise.
On listening attentively he became
satisfied that burglars were attempting
to enter his castle. He assumed an erect
position in bed, and at that particular
moment Bose" (hiS dOg) spoke.
The prisoners lawyer here interpOsed
and with quaint sOlemnity said:
"May it please the court. | am not a
little surprised that the witness, himself
an eminent jurist, who on other Occa-
S1Ons graceS the seat your Honor now
occupies, should so far forget the law of
evidence and the gravity of the charge
that affects the liberty of my client, as
to proceed in this most irregular man
ner."
mo person knows better than my dis
tinguished friend, Judge AtWater, that
the testimony he is giving is wholly ir.
regular. If 1t is important that this
court and jury should know what Bose
saw and heard on the night of this al
legged burglary, Bose himself must
take the witness stand. Bose is no
stranger; we all know him as wise, sa-
GaciOus and vigilant."
Bar, jury and court here broke out in
rOars of laughter. After a few mo-
ments 1t was attempted to restore order.
But the laughter again broke out, and
IL was found impracticable to proceed.
The case was laughed cut of court.

satisfactory.
Daniel DOugherty, as council for Mrs.
Elizabeth Miller, made application in
the Common Pleas Court to-day for ali
mOny, pending trial in the remarkable
suit for divorce against John j. Miller.
Mrs. Miller married the defendant about
20 years ago. She did not live happily
with him, and marital troubles ended
in An absolute divorce. A short time
after the separation Mrs. Miller mar
ried Robert j. Randall, well-knOwn
lawyer of this city and brother of ex-
Speaker Samuel ]. Randall. She lived
with him a few years, when domestic
brOllS arose. The divorce courts were
again appealed to, and the woman, with
two men living who had called her wife
was free once more. She had several
children by her first husband, and
through them had kept up her acquaint-
ance with him. She was nearly 80 and
he was 81. She visited his house, and
since the release from her later alliance
she began to look upon him, the father
OF their children, as something more
than stranger, and on July 70, 1883,
they were remarked. On August she
left him again. He had blasted all her
hopes, she said. He had treated her
cruelty and turned her out of his house.
The love was all broken up.
Mrs. Miller hurried into the divorce
courts for the third time. She declared
that her husband, by the indignities he
put upon her, had made her life intOler-
able. She would not live with him any
longer.
Mrs. Miller in her testimony, declared
that her husband was a professional
gambler. And the owner of gambling
houses in Philadelphia and Cape May,
and made much money. The court al
lowed $15 week alimOny until the di-
vorce proceedings should be decided
