Tom Marshall and the Judge.

Tom was engaged in the trial of a
case somewhere in the interior of
Kentucky, when a decision of the
Judge struck him as SO bad that he
rose AMI said:
"There never was such a ruling as
that since Pontius PLATE presided on
the trial of the Savior''
"Mr. Clerk" responded the Judge,
"fnc Mr.. Marshall ten dollars fol
contempt of court"
81 confess, your Honor" continued
Tom, "that what | said was little
hard on Pontius Plate; but it is the
first time in the history of Kentucky
jurisprudence that it is held that tC
speak disrespectfully of Pontiu'
PLATE is contempt of court"
"Mr. Clerk, make the fine twenty
dollars for continuous contempt,
said the Judge solemnly.
"Well, Judge" Tom added, "a'
you won all my money last night al
poker, lend me the twenty"
"Mr. Clerk" cried the Judge, has
tily, "remit the fine. The State cal
better afford to lose the money thar
| can"
81 congratulate the Court upon it,
return to a sane condition." said Tom
resuming his seat amid roars o.

is pretty argument. Whisky is as
great a product of this country as
pork, and you don't drink whisky, so
you go back on a great national pro-
duct the same as they do. They
don't need pork in their business.
and you don't need whisky in yours,
and neither of you have TO use it.
No, sir. Until you can show me
some reason for going back on my
shcrny friend, besides the fact that
his ancestors did a wrong eighteen
hundred years ago, and the fact that
he is not mashed on pork spare ribs,

A very unreasonable story is going
the newspaper rounds, which origi-
mated in the Dixon (Ky,) Record.
The story in substance is as follows !:
A little boy entered store in Sebrec,
KY, a few days ago, and called for
some articles, offering silver quar-
ter, which was almost in the shape of
u ball. The merchant refused 10
take the money, and the little fellow
took it to another house and got it
changed, returning to the first house
to get his goods, he drew from his
pocket the change, and the two dimes
he had just received were melted and
stuck together. Several persons
then gave the boy money which
would melt in a few moments after
it was put in his pockets. 1t seems
to us that Joe Mulhatten must have
figured in the get up of the story.
