BULLDoZING BILL.
His Testimony Cleared the Pris-
oner-What He Said Went.

Bulldozing Bill was on the stand as a
witness for the defense in the case of
Bronco Charlie, charged with shooting
and wounding Everlasting Ephraim.
Ordinarily there would have been no
prosecution in such a cose, but Bronco
Charlie had used a shotgun, and as the
etiquette of the frontier prescribed
Winchesters or six-sohoters, public
sentiment was aroused.
The prosecuting attorney was a recent
arrival from the East, and his method
of procedure was in itself enough to
clear a prisoner before any jury in Ar
iona He saked:
WAS the man shot and Wounded?''
Yep" was the answer.
Was the gun loaded?"
'I dunno"
The lawyer thought he saw a chanpce
TO confuse the witness. Now, sir will
you please explain to the court. sir, how
a man could possibly be shot with a
gum that was not loaded, sir?"
Il suppose" answered BulldoZing Bill,
with grin, "ther gol-darned thing was
like you and this here case you er tryin'
to make out. 1t went off whether there
was anything in it or not"
The jury forgave Bronco Charles

Frankness on Both Sides.

I'm a p1ain-spoken man" said Eb~
enezer Weatherwax to Miss Samantha
CloYerseed, "and so I can't go into
rhapsodies of love and affection like
some nsan can, but l know what I want,
and know that could give you a good
home, if so be that you could take up
with my offer of marriage. What do
you say, Samantha"
Now Samantha did not look with ia
vor upon Ebenezer, and she would not
marry him if he were the last man on
earth, but Ebenezer did not know that
She waited patiently until he was all
through and then replied:
You say you are plain-spoken man,
Mr.. WeatherwaX?' ?'
Yes; that's what 1 am, and every
body knows it,
Yes; it wasn't necessary for you to
say you are plain-spoken any more than
it is necessary to say that you are plain
looking
This remark brought the interview to
an end, for Ebenezer Weatherwax put
ON his hat and went away without say
ing another word, and as angry as a
man could we'll be.
Samantha was plain spoken herself.
but Ebenezer did not appear to appre-
ciate that quality in any one else but
himself-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Gently approaching to within earshot
of his august mother, Albert Edward

Uneasy lies the head that wears a

The Queen looked at him a moment

And beer flowed freely there;
The law was violated,
But little did he care.

notice, when you find a woman who'll

That's so-ha, ha," laughed the fat
man, genially. and with an air of sud
den interest in the other. Mice day,
he ventured.
Yes returned the other readily.
And the fat man puffed couple of
times at his weed and then gave vent
to another of his inward and hilarious
chuckles
Yes" returned the fat man, eager
ly, have a cigar?" and he pulled one
of the eombustible articles out of
pocket.
Don't mind if I do" returned the
other, taking it, and he accepted a light
from the others cigar at the same time.
II was just thinking-ha, ha-of a
funny story on a friend of mine-a
young physician" began the fat man.
The young fellow had a case of
broken leg to fix up for a little child
about six weeks ago, and as it was the
first case of the kind he had had to
himself since he left college he was
much taken up with it and exercised
a great deal of care in setting the
bones"
And here the fA man let escape an
other chuckle while the listener con-
tracted a steady grin.
But here the other day" he contin-
ued, 'the bandages were taken off and
the little one taken out for walk-an
-er ha, ha--''
And the fat man went off into con-
vulsion of hilarious glee and was una
bic to proceed.
What was. the matter, didn't it set
right?" queried the other.
Yes, that's the trouble" was the re-
sponse, as the fat man stifled his chok-
ing laughs for a moment, he set it too
much right-you see, the kid was orig
inaly -legged-and-er-h ha, the
straight leg and the crooked leg near
ly drove the kids family to drink-you
ought t seen him-he was a sight-a
wreck-was a coliseum disaster and
railroad colision-funIiest thing you
ever saw-lool1s like he was starting
both ways for Sunday and trying to
walk down the middle of the street.
We'll, huh-ha, ha-What're they go
ing to do about it?" queried the other.
