Making 1t Clear.

To confuse witness is generally an
easy task, and lawyers know no easier
way than to may a witness explain the
meaning of his words, knowing that
very few people can do SO without get
ting excited. Occasionally victim re-
sents this nagging and answers in a
spirited and unexpected manner A
lawyer was cross examining young girl
Of rather naughty temper. She had tes
titled that she had seen the defendant
"shy" book at the plaintiff, and the
lawyer had seized on the word.
''Shy--shy q book? What do you
mean by that? Will you explain to the
SQUIRT what the word shy means?'
The girl leaned over the desk beneath
the witness box, picked up lawbook
and threw it at the lawyers head, who
lodged just in time.
II think the court now understands
the meaning Of the word shy, /" said
the Judge gravely, and the girl was al
lowed to finish her testimony without
further interruption. - Strand Maga-

TALKING IN THEIR SLEEP.

"You think l am dead, )"
The apple tree said,
because have never leaf to show,
Because stoop
And my branches droop
And the dull, gray moses over me grow,
But I'm alive in trunk and shoot
The buds of next May
fold away,
But pity the withered grass at my root
"You think am dead"
The quick grass said,
Because have parted with stem and blade,
But under the ground
am safe and sound,
With the SHOWS thick blanket over me laid.
I'm all alive and ready to shoot
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here,
But pity the flower without branch or root. y
"You think am dead,'
A soft voice said,
Because not branch or root I own
never have died,
But close hide
In plumy seed that the wind has sown.
Patient wait through the long winter hours
You will see me again.
| shall laugh at you then
Out of the eyes Of hundred flowers"
Edith M Thomas in Boston Journal.
