Would Have Made a Good Lawyer.

Several local attorneys were telling sto-
ricS at the Maine Central station. yestcr-
day morning, and after going into the
mysteries of court proceedings generally
one attorney told a story of how he had
been deceived by Il client whom he was
defending in the criminal court.
II never was better satisfied of the in
nocencc of Il man charged with a crime
in my life" said the attorney. HE was
charged with Il crime and the date of, the
crime WAS fixed. My client came to me
with a tale of woe and persecution that
was heart rending and l took his case.
Why he showed me memoranda that
showed he was at q distant point from
the place where the crime was committed
and beside that he brought me four re-
spectacle looking witnesses that were
willing to swear that my client was not in
the place alleged in the writ. and had not
been there for several days prior to the
committal of the crime. | went into court
well satisfied that | had a good case and
would succeed in getting my client ac-
quilted. The State went on to show their
hand. You may judge of my astonish-
ment when l found that my witnesses
were not so sure of dates and could not
swear to anything and on cross-examina-
tion my client acknowledged the whole
thing Since then | have believed every
thing my clients tell me only when the
jury has given a verdict in our favor

Around the Office Fire.

They We're setting around the cosy
fire in the office of the Exchange hotel,
last evening. The Office was full of
guests, a noticeable case of late, and in
fact almost ever since Landlord Rem
lex opened up the house to the general
public. Some Were reading and others
were telling stories. over in the cor
ner, one-armed soldier was sitting
quietly, trying to get some satisfaction
and comfort from'ihis pipe. The empty
sleeve seemed to talk as loudly as any
thing and say a good deal at that, al
though the old soldier was saying not
a word. A guest. who had taken par
ticular notice of the old war veteran,
had been aching to ask him about the
loss of his arm. There was forbid
ding look upon the countenance of the
grim warrior but the stranger took
chance by going over to him and ask
ing, in n voice loud enough to be heard
all over the office mister. how did you
lose your arm?" Sharp and quick came
the answer, Mule bit it off, Every
body laughed but that was all the vet
eran said and the stranger had to be
satisfied with that.

diphtheria at a house on Ticonic street.
Dut ala not give the number
Saturday morning, DIR. Jolly called DIR.
Bessey up on the telephone and asked
what house the disease was located In.
DR.. Bessey could not remember the num-
Der. and so DIR. Jolly requested him to
leave card at the house himself. saying
that III the people disregardcd the warm
ing OF quarantine. he QDr. Joly) would
provide policeman to guard the
premises.
Dr. Jolly says there was no call for
policeman, or one would have been placed
there. DIR. Jolly also says that he went
to the house and investigated and found
that the doctors had decided that there
was no more diphtheria in that locality.
The doctor wants to say that the reason
why he said nc wanted to see Rev. Fr.
Charland about the case was to warn FIR.
Charand that the I.atlipp child had died
of a contagious disease and that the fun
erui could not be held in the church.
This. DIR. Jolly says, he is compelled by
law to do. to prevent the further spread
of the disease.
DR. Jolly did not go to FIR. Charland to
get advice in the matter. as it was sug-
gcsted in the board of aldermen. Monday
night. but went to the reverend gentle
Waterville board of health. to warn the
clergyman as to the nature of the disease
from which the child died.
DR.. Jolly ordered the house in which the
I.atlipp family lives to be thoroughly
fumigated. and this was done. Now while
the danger from an epidemic of dph-
iberia may be past. it sun remains the
truth that the neighhors of the Latlipps
did go and come from the house as they
pleased during the illness of the child that
died, and if they did not communicate the
disease to other persons, it was not the
fault of the neighbors.
Everything is satisfied of this. and il
may be well to suggest to the powers that
he. particularly To the hoard of health.
that the first duty of the board should be
to educate the people to the point that
they will understand that when Il house Is
quarantined. IL means trouble for the one
that attempts to violate the quarantine.
So while we have escaped an epidemic of
diphtheria, it is not hard to see how mar
row the escape has been.
