WINDMILL RUN BY WATER.
A Bright Remark by a Cincinnati Judge
About Verbose Lawyer.

A young lawyer who lives in Gin
cinnati tells a story that reflects some
what upon one of the older members OF
the bar of that city. The older at
torney was pleading case before
Judge Sage and had talked incessant-
~ for two hours. He had gone over
and over the ground and up into the
air and down below the surface of the
question, until it seemed as if moth
ing was left for him to say. He had
talked and talked until most of the
listeners We're either asleep or wished
they were. and those who were still
awake We're about making up their
minds to rise in their might and throw
chairs and things at him, when sud
denly and unexpectedly the long
winded man stopped short and
coughed.
II would like a glass of water, said
he to the court attendant. and the
man disappeared to get it for him.
For a moment there was a long
drawn sigh from the listeners, and
then Judge Sage leaned forward t
the young lawyer who tells the story
and whispered:
why don't you tell your friend, AL
fred, that it is against the law to rur
windmill with water%
