Calling On an Expert

''One of the funniest instances ever

official of Penobscot county, hap
pened years ago when Judge Perham
presided in the court of common pleas.
An old lrishman, resident of Bangor,
was an important witness in a case,
and both he and the lawyers who We're
trying to examine him were having a
hard time of it. He perspired freely
under the ordeal of examination and
was evidently wishing it well over,
when the door at the rear of the
courtroom opened and in came a little
sharp-eyed old Irish woman. The wit
ness saw her and a look of intense re-
lief spread over his features as he
blurted out: There There is me
old woman come in. AK her some of
your dunn foolish questions. She kin

THE IGUANA.
A Snake Story That Comes from the Sunny
South.

South.
In South America, says the st. Louis
GlObc-Democrat. snakes are very num-
erOus, but their enemies are numerous
Perhaps the most notable of these
snake killers is the large lizard known
as the iguana. The iguana Is no
mean adversary, as may he judged from
the fact that dogs which attack one
often come off with a broken leg The
lizard does not wait for the snake to
take the offensive, but goes swiftly in
pursuit. and being very rapid in ITS
motions, rarely has any difficulty in
Overtalling its victim, which it dis
patches with blows from its powerful
tail. | remember a funny experience
| had with one of these lizards which
clearly illustrates its hatred for snakes.

but the next instant it raised its head
and fixed its attention on the twenty
feet of lassO slowly trailing by. Sud
denly it rushed after the rope and
dealt it a succession of violent blows
with its tail. When the whole of the
lasso, several yards of which had been
pounded in vain, had been dragged by.

to gaze after it with evident astonish-
ment. Never before had such a won
