HOW WITTY LAWYERS SCORE
POINTS.

Judge Poland of Vermont was the last
OF the Congressman who dressed in the old
Wing uniform of bluff and blue'-a buff
vest and blue coat with brass buttons.

Webster used to wear when he addressed
the Senate or the Supreme Court
The Judge, who was an excellent lawyer,
was once presiding at the trial of long
and intricate case. With him sat two side
in!ges the Office in those days was not
infrequently occupied by men who knew
little and thought less. During the trial
one of them was heard whispering to a
friend: ''The Chief Justice agrees with
me in my opinion of the law in this case
and will charge the jury just as should"
Judge Poland also heard the remark, and
smiled Several years before that he not
only smiled but laughed heartily at some
remarks made by a brother lawyer.
He and Joshua Sawyer were opposing
counsel i'll case of assault aud battery.

NOT LIKE OTHER AGENTS.

There were five passengers of us to take
the train at Davisburg at two o'clock in
the afternoon, but as the hour approached
the station agent got word that there had
been smash-up down the road, and that
we would have three or four hours to wait.
lie followed his information by saying in
the most courteous manner:
Gentlemen, l have copy of Shakes
peare, volume Of Longfellow and two or
three novels. I will arrange chairs for you
on the shady side of the depot, and you
can sit and read. Here are cigars for such
as wish them"
Our surprise was too great for utterance.
We smoked and read and wondered what
kind OF man we had met up with, and at
the end of an hour he came out with Il
pitcher of lemonade and said:
Gentlemen, it is a hot day. Have some
lemonade, and here is a euchre deck and a
table for such as would like to play cards "
When he had gone we canvassed his
strange conduct in whispers and almost de-
cided that he must be light in the head.
After half an hour or so he reappearcd and
smilingly said
Gentlemen, l have heard from the
train You will have to wait full three
hours yet There is to be funeral down
here about two blocks at four clock, and,
perhaps, you'd like to 80 down and kill
time?"
We thanked him for his thoughtfulness,
but none of us cared to CO.
Would you care to 20 to a wedding?"
he continued
We thought not, and assured him that
we were doing we'll, but at the end OF an
other half hour he said:
eff you gentlemen would care to see
dog fight to kill time and make things
pleasant | will arrange for one"
We talked the matter over and decided
against it, but thanked him for his kind
intentions. When we had yet an hour to
put in the agent brought more lemonade
and cigars and said:
Gentlemen, you must excuse this
smash-up and delay on our road. 1t has
never happened before, and hope it won't
again. l can get up a horse race in a few
minutes if you would like to see one"
We didn't want to put him to any fur
Their trouble, but he didn't seem to feel
that be had done half enough. He offered
us quots, base ball, croquet and lifting
r...on.ne, and wound up by saying th.. if
any Of us cared for billiards and would step
across the road he would pay for the games
"Look here, my friend" said the major
at last, 81 have never seen station agent
like you before"
"No?"
you are kindness ITSELF You have put
yourself out as no other man would. You
must have an objecs in view"
'ies, l have" was the frank repy.
"And what is it, pray?"
''Well, this station pays the agent 1913
per month, and if lose my job I've got to
cutting wood at 80 cents per cord. Pm
using you dead right, 80 you'll speak a
good word in my faver, for there's just
