Why tho Policeman w1lted.

Last Saturday one of the mounted police men in the park was Aroused from his con temptation of the endless string of swell turn outs that logged past by the approach of 8 igkt covered wagon, driveE Ut furious and altogether illegal rate Of SS,eed, says the San Francisco Post

 By means of putting his animal to clean gallop, the enraged guardian of the legal rate of speed managed to seize the trotter's bridle and pull up the vehicle

 How Sir George JesseI Got Through His
 Work.
 l''S." in London Post.l
 Some few years since I appeared before the late Master of the Rolls as party to friendly family suit, where the advice and whitewashing by the Court of Chancery was sought by trustees, of whom I was one. The case was simple. A discrepancy be- tween marriage settlement and will, both drawn by the same firm of lawyers and never contemplated by the testator, involved point patent of solution to any outsider, but which, after acres of counsel's opinions and legal pour-parlers, the lawyers persuaded the trustees to take before the Master of the Rolls. Never shall forget the electrical g. pidity with which Sir George Jessel grasped the facts. In fewer minutes than I take pen these lines he asked why he had been troubled in so simple 8 matter, stating that the beneficiary were not rich he sho uld have ordered the trustees to pay the costs out of their own pockets, thus marking his objection to their wasting the courts time by obtaining an opinion from him that was not wanted in so clear 8 case So struck was with this great judges perception that once in Chancery l could not get out of it. and I remained for the next case. Some trustees for young lady, a minor, whose fortune was growing potentially, applied for increas- ed alimony, and the counsel quoted decis- ion of Lord Mansfeld's in support of his ap- plieation. Sir George, listening for mo- ment, asked counsel if the test ator was in his right mind when he made his will. "Yes, my lord, " answered the learned gentleman. ''Then I shall not alter the terms or provis- ions. The testator knew best what he want ed for his child am here to carry out those terms and provisions, and, though Lord Mansfield was 8 clever man, yet he was not God Almighty. Mir. So snd-so, you may sit down What is the next case ?''
