flight of n Lawyer who Insisted That Ma
piers Tables Should lie Proved.

Right of Lawyer Who Insisted That Ns-
piers Tables Should he Proved.
An expert engineer In n Now England
city rendered IL bill to II corporation who
had employed him TO write technical ro-
port. The amount of the fee was large,
the corporation refused to pay 1t, and tho
claim was carried into court.
During the trial tho counsel for the cor
poration sought to bclittle the experts
work, raising questions as to his expert
ence, and, in fact, to prove that his labor
Eould have been amply rewarded with
l,w dollars n day.
How did you reach this result?" asked
the lawyer, referring to certain calcula.
tion which had involved the use of loga-
rithms.
II consulted Napier's table and''- but
he got no further.
You consulted Napier's table, did
your"
Yes"
"Do you mean to tell this court that
you, an expert, had to resort to a published
tablet Did you prove the figures Of that
tablef''
mo, but they have been proved. They
are considered to be accurate by every
scientific man."
why did you not work out your own
table of logarithmsf Is it not because you
are unable to do soi"
1T is not am perfectly capable Of
preparing such table, but 1t would have
taken too long time to do SO, and SO con-
suited the standards.
I'm order to prove your calculation as
well as your capabilities in this matter, /"
continued the suspicious lawyer, II will
now ask YOU to prepare table of loga-
rithms"
Here and nowf" inquired the plaintiff.
II fear 1t will consume too much of the
courts time"
This seemed to confirm the lawyers
doubts, and 30 he insisted the more upon
having a complete table Of logarithms pre-
pared.
The plaintiff smiled maliciously, took
paper and pencil and began his work. II
about five minutes tho lawyer asked him
If he had finished. The plaintiff shook his
head and continued at work. Ten minutes
passed by, and again the question was put:
How nearly finished arc your"
Very far from finished, " remarked the
plaintiff.
"Well, may ask how long 1t will take
you to prepare table such as Napier'sf
You seem to bo very slow about it,"
Tho expert hesitated little and then
replied II estimate that, working alone, I
might be able to complete 1t in about 10
years, working day and night. 1t took
Napier and flve assistants seven years to
prepare his table, but am less familiar
with tho calculation than he was, and, as
you say, work SLOW Still In Is years
think can complete it,
1t Is unnecessary to say that the lawyer
was not a little taken aback by the answer,
which enlightened him trifle on the sub
ject He withdrew the questions, and
eventually the expert won his case.-New

Just What
We Expected

That extra IS per cent. dis
count last week hunted up the
judicious buyers and there was
a decided movement in our
stock.
Now, it was not the PRICES
alone that sold these goods, it
was the factor that caused
buyers to look at them, to exa
mine into the durability and
finish, when that was done, then
the prices did the rest.
We claim that we are always
rs per cent. lower than any
other house in Honolulu. Don't
take our word for it; convince
yourself by examining our
STOCK and PRICES. You
will find our stock the LAR
GkST and as we say our prices
the LOWEST.
