The king accepted with alacrity, and
the two swore eternal friendship, and
service and protection respectively.
An elaborate ceremony was arranged

PLAIN COMMON SENSE.

The Witness Answer Exhausted aha
Subject.
A story which might bring some .om-
fort to badgered witnesses is told in
connection with Col. Fowler. ONE OF
Gen. Shsler's stan. He was q clever
lawyer IS well Is good soldier, and he
once fell into the hands Of = fellow
lawyer. whose chief ability lay in the
direction Of abusing plaintiffs attor-
neys and confusing their witnesses.
On the occasion in question Col Fowl
er was on the stand to establish his
signature to document and swore
without hesitation that il was . Renu-
inc autograph.
''Now, sir" said the lawyer. with q
threatening and impressive shake Of his
forednger, ION your oath-on your oath,
remember-how do you know that is
your signature?-
'Well. sir" replied Col. Fowler. un-
moved BY the man who was apt to
make timid witnesses confused and even
hysterical in some cases. ION my oath
don't know how know that is my sig
nature, but I do know It."
The lawyer was liGAle taken aback
BY this calm reply, and before he could
rally from his surprise the Judge spoke
up.
THAT will do. counselor" said he.
THE witness is right. No man can
know how he knows . thing Of that
sort, and the witness answer has ex.
hausted the subject The human mind
is incapable Of analysing its own action
by which il attains this mysterious
knowledge"
And 50 that cross-examination failed
through the common-sense answer of
Col Fowler to . question which hum
dreds Of witnesses have, tried to an
swer, with the sole result Of leaving
the jury under the impression that they
were lacking in one Of two qualities
truthfulness or Enthusiastically Com
paniou.
