An Ancient Pun.
ETO BE CONTINUED

In an after dinner speech the other day
Professor Norton told the following story
of famous pun: II was spending an
evening with an English justice, famed
for his knowledge Of the wit of the Eng
Iish bench and bar tried to match his
stories with such shining specimens as
could think of from the contributions of
our American lawyers, reserving for the
last the famous pun of Judge Hoar re-
garding friend of his, who, he said,
first got on, then got honor and then got
honest. To my surprise, Mr.. Justice
Wills scarcely smiled at his sally. In
deed, his manner rather savored of Of
fense. That is a good story he remarked
dryly, but fear must dampen your
enjoyment of it somewhat by telling you
that it was borrowed from our side of
the water. Mr.. friend, Sir Frederick
-, one of the most gifted of punsters
as well as of lawyers said Mr.. Justice
Wills, with some severity made that pun
originally, in my hearing, many years
ago. Against this view | protested SO
valiantly that Mr.. Justice Wills promised
to write to Sir Frederick without delay.
That gentleman's reply confirmed my
own belief 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 as 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 maga-
zine of the date of 1897, came across
what had fondly believed to be my own
pun. very likely an old one then!"-

Of the sergeant could be heard giving
hurried orders. Every man in the bat
talon seemed at the same instant to ar
rive at one of two prisoners
escaping, or fire over at the stables-and
all eyes were fixed on the imperturbable
form of the commanding officer, as
though waiting the signal from him to
break and go to the rescue. But there
the colonel stood, placid, calm, and ap-
parently utterly unconscious of the dis
tant yet nearing clamor. The adjutant
hesitated moment before proceeding
further, and glanced appealingly at his
chief; whereupon there came from the
blue and gold and yellow statue out on
the parade, in half reproachful tones,
the quiet order, ''Go onl'' and the adju-
tant, recalled to his senses and with evil
dent expression of his sentiments to the
effect that if others could stand it he
could. brusquely turned his head to-
wards the band and growled, ''Sound

cymbal and the blare of brazen throats
drowned for a moment the sound of the
turmoil without. The next thing the
battalion heard or saw was riderless

and sweeping in a big circle from the
right of the line down towards the point
where the colonel stood.
