ragged enough to call for especial sym

considerable aversion. This was shown
by the unrelenting vigor with which
the fruit-seller was pursued from cor

the law.

CAT IN THE PULPIT.
Pastor Caught 1t by tho Neck and the
Usher Took 1t Away.

Usher Took It Away.
An inquisitive black cat strayed into
the Bristol Methodist Episcopal church
on recent Sunday evening just beft re
the services began, says the Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph.
There were very few people in the
:hurch at the time, but the loud and
plaintive mewing of the stranger at
tracted their attention, and they
watched it's movements with interest.
The animal climbed up into the choir
loft, perched upon the railing and
looked down upon the congregation.
After a time several members of the
choir arrived and the cat scampered
away, finally climbing down one of the
wooden pillars which supported the
choir loft and walked down into the
aisle.
Several of the congregation endeav-
ored to coax the cat into their pews,
but the proud pussy ignored them and
with stately dignity climbed up into
I he pulpit and sat on the Bible. When
the pastor came in moment later he
found the cat in possession of the pull
pit, but the animal took kindly to the
preacher and began to purr and arch
his back at the latter's approach.
The pastor took the cat by the back
OF the neck and handed it down to an
usher, who carried puss out of the
church. 'This is good omen, breth-
ren," said the pastor and then he went
on and preached his sermon.

Successful Venture of a Broker as Grim
inal Advocate at the Bar.
A Jacksonville broker, while travelling
in the Alabama mountains, was invited
by friend, a local judge, to attend the
trial of a Cracker" for shooting mig
GER and the prisoner having no money
to hire lawyer, the judge appointed
the broker to defend him, alleging that
ifthe brokerwas not lawyer che was an
idiot because he wasn't one"-a judy
ment amply supported by his conduct
of the case. The broker, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, cross-eXamined
the witnesses briefly, sending in now
and then a discomfiting trajectory.
When he came to make a speech he said:
Gentlemen of the jury, have taken
great pains to show you that my client
was a respectable citizen. Ten wit
nesses have asserted-on oath, mind
,'ou-that he stands high in his com
munity." The defendant was six feet
three inches tall, and the jury smiled.
He stood high N the community, and
that is sufficient. Now for the law. W.
find that the 30th verse of the 10th chap
ter of 'Chitty on Pleadings'-Chitty
gentlemen, was one of the bravest ger
erals IN the confederate army-this well
established principle of law" Here thu
broker adjusts his glasses, holds the
book far off, elevates his chin and reads:
"'No respectable white man can be
guilty of crime That, gentlemen, is
enough. leave the case in your hands
Each juror changed his quid, looked al
his neighbor, nodded, and, without leav-
ing their seats, rendered loud and EN-
phatic verdict of mot guilty." and then
joined in three cheers for the defendant
and his lawyer.
