The clerk is writing at his desk and tho bar is talking pro miscuously just after a general laugh at some anecdote told by old Judge Barks at the expense of the new Judge James '.Silkit," Esq-mysef. In the general hurry of the laugh and the joke call out:
 ''The State agalnst Tunnyeliff! What case is that Mir Clerk?" MT Clerk, being young fellow of the name of Joe Ellet, doesn't know.
