81 had a case before Judge Will
liams," said Lawyer Charles M. Hardy,
"and as was engaged at the same time
in other courts paid some bailiffs to
watch the call in Judge Williams court
and notify me when the case in which I
was interested came on for hearing. My
client was also i'll the court, looking out
for the case Suddenly the bailiffs came
to me and notified me that the case was
on, and hurried to the court, but only
to find that the jury had been impaneled
in my absence, and the opposing lawyer
was opening his argument. Judge Will
hams seemed little bit out of temper
that day, and he said to me: Mr..
Hardy, we cannot wait here for anybody
after case is called. Iglanced over the
jury and said I had an objection to
make. Counsel for the other side
promptly said it was too late for objec-
tions SO far as the jury was concerned,
and the learned judge agreed with him.
And then, in my turn, heartily agreed
with both Of them.
yes, it's quite true that it's too
late to make an objection, said, and
withdraw it. Why foolishly wanted
to object was because you've got my
client on the jury that has been impan-
eled to try his own case, but I'm now
satisfied to leave him there, because I
believe he's we'll able to look after his
own interests in that advantageous posi-
tion.'
''And it was a fact. In hurriedly
picking out talesmen in the courtroom
they had rounded up my client among
the rest, and though he rose to his feet
few times to protest and explain they
wouldn' t listen to him, but swore him
in with the other II jurors to try his
own case Well, after the CONSERVATION
caused by what told them they wanted
to withdraw juror-my bewildered
client-and impanel another juror, but
objected, and the objection went. The
case was continued, and when it was
finally reached, more than 12 months
after that, won it. Chicago Inter

Lady Randolph Churchill, who is only
six months widow, has been distract
ing the visitors at Aix-les- -Bains with
her "punting" by night and her bicycle
riding by day. But may not "relicts"
be amused? Must the handsome wives
of the departed retire to q nunnery be.
cause the world is such small place
somebody is sure to find them without
appropriately red eyes and perhaps red
noses? If Lady Randolph seeks consola-
tion in bright society and any excite
ment in riding a wheel, for heavens
sake let her! She had distinguished
husband, as we all know, but she also
paid for her distinction if report saith
true.-Philadelphia Press.

A robins nest and a kingbird's nest
were situated in adjoining trees, each
containing young birds. When the king
birds saw the robin bringing worm to
feed it's young, they would attack it and
make it give up the food intended for
the young robins. After being robbed a
Jew times the robin appeared with a
worm, accompanied by two other robins,
and when the kingbird made his ap--
pearance the two extra robins pitched
in and gave him sound thrashing,
while the one with the worm fed its
young and seemed to be laughing all
the while The game was played until
the kingbird gave it up.-Lewiston
