COURT Room W1T.-None of the
professions seem more devoted to ready
wit than that of the law. 1t is related
that Sir Nicholas Bacon was about to
pass judgment upon a man who had
been guilty of robbery, at that time
punishable by death, but the culprit
pleaded for mercy on the ground that
he was related to the judge. CHOW is
that ?" he asked. my lord" was the
reply, eff your name is Bacon, mine is
Hog, and hog and bacon have always
been considered akin" "That is
true" answered Sir Nicholas; "but as
hog is not bacon until it has been hung,
until you are hanged you are no rela'
tion of mine"
Still more to the point is this of two
opposing barristers. The lawyer for
the defense was so severe upon the
prosecutor that the latter rose and
asked. "Does the learned counsel think
me a fool?" The retort was prompt
"My friend wishes to know II l con-
slider him a fool; and in reply TO his
question I can only say that am not
prepared to deny it,
There are many instances OF pas
sages of arms between bench and bar,
but this one may be new to most OF
our readers. At the close of length
ened and bitter wrangle between a
Judge and a prominent counsel, the
former said, "Well, sir, if you don't
know how to conduct yourself as a
gentleman, 1 am sure I can't teach
you.n To which the barrister mildly
replied, "That is so, my lord"

TAKING HIS TINE For IT.-There
is a wellknown business man who is q
member of a Market street firm, and
who has an impeachment in his speech,
saws the Philadelphia Record. He is
not at all sensitive about it, however
and not only takes joke at his own
expense in good part, but often takes
liberties with his friends based upon
his own affliction. The other day he
went to the telephone, and conversa'
ton something like this ensued:
-h-hello! Is th-th-that Mr.. J-J'
Jones?"
ayes; this is Mr.. Jones. Who is
that ?"
"Why, I'm M-M-Mr. s-s-smith."

The Staru Teller.
HE ADVERTISED
FOR n COOK AND GOT Il GOOD WIFE.

He was bachelor who kept house
in a fine street in city, both of which
shall be nameless. One day he adver-
tised for cook. Twenty-Five young
women and 10 old ones answered the
advertisement. Among the 25 young
women was a slim creature in the
shabbiest shawl and bonnet there,
with exactly enough flesh on her bones
to hold them together, but a lady
every inch of her.
"Reference," be said to her, as she
sat before him.
She took off a mended glove, and
showed him a forefnger rough as a
nutmeg with much sewing.
"There's the only proof I have that
I've been trying to earn an honest
living" she said.
"An odd reference for a cook, !"
said he.
"That's for character" said she /;
"I'll show you how I can cook-Ill
give practical proof of that"
"You are not a servant" said he.
"Not yet. 1 mean to be. I've been
sewing for a living, and I am sick of
it," said she.
He looked at her from top to toe.
"Famlly ?"
"Myself only" he said.
She nodded.
"Dinner at six?"
She nodded again.
"Soup every day."
She nodded once more.
"For the rest, variety"

He named the wages, and took her

Veterans Reunions.

Weeks ago Department Commander Cay
lor urged members of the Grand Army in
different parts of the State to hold coun-
ty reunions, composed of all veterans for
the purpose of bringing the survivors of
the war and their families together During
the last three weeks a number of such
meetings have been held, all of which have
been largely attended. These meetings are
not under the auspices of the Grand Army
and are consequently not bound to their
rules. Last week at a meeting at Hunting
burg a speaker was telling of the large
number who were wounded at Chicka-
mauga in a certain assault. An old man
sitting where he could be seen rose in the
midst of the address and said: Yes l was
there and I got that there" extending a
wooden stump; and I have nine sons and
every one of them will vote for Comrade
Mckinley" This was out of order, but it
was followed by shouts.
- Reunions will be held as follows: Sept.
%, at Ladoga and Corydon; Sept "a, at
Argos; Sept. 25 at Hobart; Oct. / and 2,
at Elwood; Oct. 3, at Galveston; Oct g. I
and s, at Parkersburg; Oct. 15,. at the State
Soldiers Home, Lafayette.

The Spanish soldier in Cuba becomes a
different fellow from the Spanish soldier in
Spain. In Spain he wears better clothes
than in Cuba. In Spain he can march pretty
well, maneuver a little. and show himself
off to his best advantage. Although he Is

happen TO possess these accomplishments,

even sergeant. In some districts of Spain

which he may have received from his home
surroundings. He can neither mareh'
shoot nor answer the various bugle calls.
In Spain he wears broadcloth; in Cuba ne
is dressed in cotton Jeans. On the other
hand, he gets much more to eat in Cuba
than in Spain. 1 have heard it said in
Spain (by Spaniards themselves) that
Frenchman could barely exist upon the ra-
tions allowed a Spanish soldier whereas an
Englshman would starve to death. This
ration consists of weak coffee or its sub
stitute in the morning. About 10 o'clock
breakfa fast is served-a small bit of bread
and saucer of stewed beans and vegeta-
bles. This stew and bread is repeated in
the afternoon. and is called dinner. The
soldier rarely sees any meat. although n
very small amount is supposed to furnish
a portion of his steY.
belonging to the better families find this
diet insufficient upon entering the service.
and they often find themselves Obliged to
call upon their families for aid. either from
their kitchens or their purses. But in Cuba
the soldier fndS plenty or beer TO eat. In
Cuba he is allowed greater liberties. and
he soon learns to become a much more In
dependent and self-reliant person than the
humble private in Spain.
In his own country he is allowed cents
a day for spending money. In Cuba he Is
to get 81 of the SIG per month. which Is his
scheduled pay while he is in campaign II
