of rest; Prince Bismarck drinks beer,

expert fishermen, while Mr.. Toole finds
something funny to do or say almost

Horse shedding . witness,

81 can't imagine where Senator FL
kins obtained his authority for the ex-
PLANTATION which he gives Of the origin
IL the expression horse shedding. I"
said Representative Grosvcnor. 1.-The
origin Of this famous expression was as
follows:
I'm days gone by the Ohio courts
held sessions mt different county seats
Mt certain periods known rs court terms
To accommodate the large crowds Of
litigants and witnesses who would flock
in from points for miles around the
county seat when court was in session,
the county authorities erected sheds
near the courthouse. where the litigants
and their witnesses could tie and feed
their horses while they attended court,
and these sheds became known as horse
sheds Now. owing to the limited space
of the courtrooms, the lawyers. who
always Travelled with the court, were
unable TO hold q private consultation
with their clients and witnesses inside
the walls. and 80 they used TO take them
under the horse sheds and there talk
matters over with them
Among the attorneys who attended

Ewing and Samuel +. Vinton. The
court was ready to go on with the case
in which the two noted attorneys were
retained as opening counsel. when it
was discovered that Vinton was not
present. The court looked carefully
around and then asked:
Where is Mr.. Vinton?'
"'I don't know, your honor said
Ewing. rising to his feet He is not
here. but he is probably outside horse
shedding his witnesses.
THE remark raised general laugh,
and thereafter the word horse shedding
witness passed into popular parlance. -
