STORY OF A PUN.
Whiskered Chestnut Which Was Quoted

a Whfskered Chestnut Which Was Quoted
by Two Noted Jurists.
Prof. Norton. in an after-dinner
speech: l was spending an evening
with an English justice famed for his
knowledge of the wit of the English
bench and bar. tried to match his
stories with such shining specimens
as l could think of from the contribu-
tons of our American lawyers, reserv-
ing for the last the famous pun of
Judge Hoar regarding friend of his
''who." he said, first got on, then got
honor. and then got honest" To my
surprise Justice Willis scarcely smiled
at this sally. Indeed, his manner
rather savored of offense. "I that is a
good story he remarked dryly,
''but l fear l must damp your enjoy
ment of it somewhat by telling
you that it was borrowed from our side
of the water. My friend, Sir Fred
erick -, one of the most gifted of
punsters, as we'll as of lawyers, said
Justice Wills with some severity,
made that pun originally in my hear
ing many years ago." Against this
view l protested SO valiantly that JUS
tice Willis promised to write to Sir
Frederick without delay. That gen.
tleman's reply confirmed my own be-
lief. He admitted borrowing the pun
from America. His letter was so
charming that | sent it to Judge Hoar.
l received this reply: THE letter
which you were so kind to forward to
me would once have given me great
pleasure, but alas! it arrived too late.
Two days ago, in looking over an old
law magazine of the date of 1927,
came across what l fondly believed to
be my own pun, very likely an old one
then!'-Minneapolis Tribune.

Told by a Montana Man.

No white man ever saw buffalo
west of the Rockies. The Indians of
the Northwest have a legend to &C.
coant for this. Many moons ago, they
say, some Indians were hunting buffalo
on the other side of the range-they
were plentiful over there then. An
old medicine man told them where to
ino a big herd which. he said, was
led by a red bull calf The Great
Spiri. would give them all the buffalo
they desired, but the red calf must not
be killed. II it was killed the Great
Spirit would punish them severely.
The b'a7es started out found the buff
taloes and slaughtered them by the
hundreds. When they looked among
the carcasses the body of the red calf
was found. 1t was never known who
killed it. but they say the buffaloes all
disappeared and were never again seen
