~ A good story is related of the
Hon. b. Lawless, a former men,
Der of the Louisville bar, and who
came to this city from Glasgow,
KY, says the Chicago Press. He
was a 1ong-winded' talker and when
he arose to make an argument he
didn't know when to stop. On one
occasion he was making a speech
before Judge Ballard, in the United
State Court. He had spoken sew
eral hours and the Judge and every
body else were thoroughly tired out,
though they were helpless. At last
Judge Ballard beckoned his brother,
Jack Ballard, to him and implored
him to stop Lawless il he could.
"Oh that's easy enough - re-
piled the brother, '1'll stop him
him inside of three minutes.
There was great deal of curios-
ity to see how this could be accom-
plished, as the orator seemed to be
nowhere near the end of his speech.
Jack Ballard took a pencil and a
sheet of paper and wrote:
my DEAR COLONEL As soon
as you finish your magnificent ar
gument, would like you to join
me i'll the clerks office in bum
per of fine old bourbon"
The note was handed to the ora
tor, who paused at the end of a
soaring period, drew his glasses
frem his pocket and read the note.
He put it in his pocket and said
"And, now, if it please your
Honor, and you gentlemen of the
jury, | leave the case with you."
He picked up his that and was in
the Clerks office in about a min
ute.

SENATOR SQUIRE's LITTLE JOKE.
Senator Squire played a scurvy
trick on Senator John b, Allen one
time. They were travelling from
Washington. 1t was night and the
train stopped at station in Mis-
souri,, where large, heavy woman
entered the sleeper looking for a
berth.
Squire poked bis head out be-
tween the curtains, and seeing the
ponderous lady, said
Madame, the berths are all Ia
ken, but if you wish you can occu-
by the one just under me, where
my little boy is sleeping
This was satisfactory to the Mis-
souri, Amazon, who removed her
shoes and then swung round into
the bunk. Just about this time the
disturbed occupant attempted 10
rise to see what the intrusion meant.
With one fell swoop of her palm
she clapped it squarely over the
gentleman's mouth, saying: There,
little boy, don't speak. Your faith
or said could sleep here
Again the little boy attempted
to rise, and this time he managed
to say:
Madame. want to tell you that
I'm no boy
who are you then ?
why, I'm Senator Allen from
the State of Washington he ex-
claimed.
ooh, Lord !! she yelled, and
sprang mp and dashed out of the
car exclaiming, to the consterna-
ton of everyone but Squire, ooh,
Lord what would Hiram say if he
knew ?'-Spokane Spokesman.
