TIT FOR TAT.

A few years past John X. Mclean, the
youthful publisher of the Cincinnati En-
q,tirer, was made witness in a suit, and
George X Hoadley examined him with,
what the witness thought, undue advan-
tage and severity. You old scamp"
said Mclean, in a whisper, at the court
room door. Il will be at your Office as
soon as you get there"
Arrived at Hoadley's office, Mclean
closed the door coOlly, and began: " You
had me in place thatgave you your way,
didn't you: | saw you enjoyedit. Now
you old reprobate and coward
Here Edgar Johnson, generally called
Egg" because he is under Hoadley's
yoke, being his partner, interposed.
Edgar" said Mclean, If hear
anything from you will hoist that win
dow and drop you down the area"
Then, turning to Hoadly, he gave what
the lawyers learnedly call the exordium.
The first sentence took Hoadley's self
respect in the front and flank, the second
made him dance, at the third he said he
wouldn't stand it.
"Won't you:' said Mclean; "wha'
are you going to do about it: | had to
take yours, where you had me foul; now
you old villain, you don't enjoy it -
Mr. Hoadley never was satisfied, aftel

into the wild, wide business of starting a

4 WOMANS CLEVER ESCAPE
FROM PRISON.

Probably the most original escape from
prison ever devised was successfully car
ried out in Brooklyn. Mary Rowe, con
fined in the Raymond Street Jail, under
indictment fyr grand larceny, coolly
walked across the courtyard from the
women's prison in the Old jail to the Wis
i,ors' room in the new wing, and after
sitting quietly in a chair for few mo-
uenst was bowed out by a keeper at the
front door. She was committed by JUS
tice Fisher, on September 10, to await
the Grand Jury, and was placed in a cell
on the upper tier Of the old Jail. She
has been frequently visited by friends
since her incarceration, who brought her
apparel that she might present respec-
table appearance when arraiIned in court.
Il is the custom of the female prison that
the inmates shall in turn serve meals to
the other prisoners, and yesterday Mary
was among those detailed to bring the
bread and coffee from the kitchen. Co
ing to a retired portion OF the jail she
attired herself in deep mourning and
drew a heavy Grape veil over her face.
She then passed through one OF the cor
ridors, crossed the courtyard and entered
the Jail office in the new wing. Keeper
Cowan was on duty, and seeing his sur
prise at such an early visitor, she an
nounced that she had come to meet hei
sister, Mrs. Madden, who had been locked
I'D for intoxication, but who was TO bt
discharged that morning and she hac
been unsuccessfully seeking her through
the Jail for an hour. Cowan informed
her that Mrs. Madden had been dis
charged the day before The supposed
sister burst into tears and, expressing hel
regret at having arrived too late, wa:
escorted to the door by the keeper, whC
drew back the bolt and bowed her out
saying he was sorry he could not aid her
Ten minutes later it was discovered tha
Mary Rowe had escaped and genera
alarm was given. Keeper Cowan ha'
been suspended and the Brooklyn police
are busily seaching for woman in black
Mary's method Of larceny was as follows
She would advertise for position as 1
servant and offer to work at nomina
wages, having never been in service be-
fore. After few days in the house sh'
would disappear with whatever valuable
she could get. Many complaints wer
lodged at Police Headquarters.

Too BAsHFuL TO BE A LAWYER

Too BAsHFUL TO BE LAwYER.-lt
is related of the late Lithgoe Hunter, OF
Topsham, who graduated from Bowdoin
college in the year 1909, that soon after
his graduation he pursued the study of
law, and, having been admitted to the
bar, hung out his shingle in the town OF
Orono for the practice of profession. He
was very bashful young man and ex-
ceedingly diffident in the company of la
dies, so that when the first patron who
appeared was seen to be a lady, great
trepidation overlook him and he turned
and fed from his office through a back
door, taking the first train for his home.
He afterwards bought land and chose the
occupation of farmer for his life work.

COOL MR.. BETHEL.
Temple Bar.l

Temple Bari
Once in a case before Sir Lancelot
Shadwell, Mr.. Wakefield demanded that
Judgment should be given in his favor,
because Sir Lancelot had already given
his decision in the similar case of Jones
vs.. Webb. The Vice-Chancellor had no
recollection on the point. Mr.. Bethel,
on the other side, was equal to the occa-
sion. He got up and said: L perfect
" recollect the case of Jones and Webb
mentioned by my learned friend, but my
learned friend, of cousre, accidentally,
omitted to mention that your Honor s
Judgment was finally reversed on appeal
in the House of Lords" This was too
much for the ingenious Mr.. Wakefield,
who, in his despair, was heard to NUT
ter, "What id lie, there never was
such a case at all" Mr.. Bethel was,
it may be supposed, a cool hand at elec'
ton times. Once he attended stormy
meeting of his constituents at Aylesbury.
He was terribly attacked for not having
attened to the interests of that virtuous
borough. Mr.. Bethel answered all the
charges brought against him with his
usual ingenuity but one indignant elector
got up and said: Mr.. Bethel, you
have answered every body else, but you
cannot answer me. l have written to
you fifty letters, to not one of which
have received an answer" Really,
said the undaunted Chancery barrister,
"if had not the most unbounded con-
fidence in the veracity of my honorable
friend, could not have believed such a
dereliction of duty on the part of Her
Maiesty's Post Office. Not one Of those
letters did erer receive.'

lawyer, whose uniform courtesy is one OF
his Distinguishing traits, won suit in
the Criminal Court the other day, and
when the verdict acquitting his client
had been read, he arose and in his most
impressive manner bowed to the jury,
and exclaimed: Gentlemen, | thank
you" When they had retired, Judge
vanWagoner called the lawyer to the
bench and said to him, :" hope that |
shall never see another such exhibition IN

LUCK OF A BROKEN CORSET

Miss Creiger snapped corset steel
at picnic. Mr.. Barnes heard it, and
begged to be allowed to make her
pair that would not break. She consent
ed. Being a skillful mechanic, he in
vented for her an improved kind, and
she was for three years supplied with
them, at the end of which they married.
The question has been before the United
States Supreme Court whether the wear
ing of the invention by Miss Creiger was
such a public usage allowed by the
inventor" as will prevent Barnes from
obtaining a patient. The court decided
against Barnes, and Justice Miller dis
sented. "If the little spring he says
'.inserted in a single pair of corsets, and
used by only one woman, covered by her
outer clothing, and in a position with

use of that piece of steel, | am at a loss

private use" ."-New York San.

REPARREE AND BATHOS IN THE
SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme court is a bad place for
preten,ious display of legal learning, or
a flourish of oratory. The most success
ful advocates who practice at its bar are
those whose style is most condensed and
lucid, and who never travel away from
the essential matter in controversy. They
no doubt remember the anecdote of Chief
Justice Marshall-an anecdote, by the
way, which has been tackled on to many
eminest Judges, but which Marshalls BIZ
ographers claim as belonging to him. A
pompous and tedious advocate was re-
hearsing well-known and undisputed
rules of law, when the Chief. Justice in
terrupted him. and said, "Mr. c., think
this is unnecessary. There are some
things which court, constituted as this
is, may be presumed to know"
Not always, even in recent times,
however, have the lawyers confined their
speeches to the clarified common sense
and direct logic which judges like to
hear. Now and then the court is forced
to listen to fights of rhetoric which bring
half-amused and half-impatient looks to
the faces Of the justices Here, for ex
ample, is specimen Of ford eloquence
with which, not many years ago a law
yer opened his brief in an important writ
Of error case. The brief is still shown
as a curiosity in the office of the clerk OF
the court
