The late Judge Walker, of Aurora, Ind,
was, it is said. the personlfication Of pom
posity BE was proud of himself, of his fam
lily, and OF all his possessions Illustrative Of
this trait of character, a story is told of the
old Judge Shortly before his death he built
a splendid mansion Oh the high hill back of
Aurora. Judge Walker was inordinately
proud of this house, which could be seen for
mile up and down the river One day he
was returning home by steamer from Gin
cinnat. Judge Walker no sooner caught
sight of his residence than his whole attention
was fixed upon il. He wondered if every
one else appreciated the beauty and striking
location OF the house Finally he walked up
TO a stranger and said: II beg pardon, but
ah-cau you tell me who is the owner OF that
-ah-palatial and beautiful mansion on the
hill" Yes, sir" replied the stranger,
promptly, that old barn belongs to Judge
Walker, the biggest fool II Indiana, although
he thinks himself a sage The judges CT
riosity was entirely satisfied The stranger
knew him.-Cincinnati Times-Star
