auages for personal Injuries against
he Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad.
Mr.. Forrest represented the plaintih;
w. ]. Hynes, the defendant. The ques-
ton in point turned largely upon the
arrangements of the rad's tracks,
switches and frogs. An Irishman
named Maloney, assistant yardmaster
Of the Milwaukee and st. Paul road,
was on the witness stand. He was an
important witness for the defense. His
native brOgue was rich and pronounced.
though he had been in this country
many years. He was one Of those who.
when he knew a thing, knew it thor
oughly.
On the direct examination Maloney
had been very laconic in his answers.
This economy of words in his character
Istic brogue made Mr. Forrest think
he had an easy victim on the cross-ex
animation, but when spurred by cross
questions the witness Irish was arous-
ed, and he became more voluble. The
more the Irishman was prodded the
hotter he became. although he did not
lose his head, but damaged the plain
tiff's case. Mr.. Forrest saw the ground
slipping from under him, and, like the
good crOSs-examiner he is, began TO
look for an opening to drop the witness
without further injury to his case. He
succeeded in provoking a tart reply
from the witness. whereupon, thinking
this his opportunity, waving his hand.
he said, sarcastical!y:

The reputed fascination of the ser
pent's eye is the motive of a story in
Mr. Ambrose Bic .e's volume of tales
entitled I'm the Midst of Life" Mr..
Brayton was the guest of a friend, an
eminent zoologist, whose specially. OF
which he had a fine collection, was
snakes. Stretched upon a sofa In his
own room, Mr.. Brayton glanced from
the book he was carelessIy scanning
while awaiting the summons to dinner,
and saw, in the shadow under his bed,
two small points of light about an inch
apart. He gave them no specia
thought and resumed his reading.
In a few minutes he gave an involun-
tary start, and stared into the obscurity
under the bed. His gaze disclosed the
coils of a large serpent; the points Of
light were its eyes. but were no longer
merely luminous points; they looked in
to his own with malign significance.
Brayton was brave man, but this
seemed an occasion when discretion
was the better part of valor. He would
beat a retreat and backward, so as not
to disturb the reptile; but instead of the
movement his will had shaped, his
right foot was placed in advance of his
left.
The snake did not move, but its eyes
seemed to become larger and more lum-
inous. There were strange noises in
Brayton's ears as. with reluctant steps,
he could not refrain from drawing
nearer the bed. Suddenly something
struck him a hard blow upon the face
He had fallen to the floor.
The zoologist, startled by a terrific
scream from above, rushed to his
friends room. There lay Brayton,
senseless. AS he bent over him he
glanced under the bed.
How did this thing get here?" he
exclaimed. and pulling out the snake,
flung it to the center of the room, where
it lay without motion.
1t was a stuffed snake; Its eyes were
two shoebuttons.

A Child's idea.

FlosSie was seven years old when her
mamma took her to live in the country.
All her life she had lived in the heart Of
a large manufacturing town, and knew
nothing Of the beauties of the country.
oh, how delighted she was with the
beauties of the fields, the buttercups
and daisies! But most Of all she loved
to hear the lark singing its song OF JOY
far away up in the blue sky. But she
never thought it was bird that sent
the sweet, clear music through the air.
One day she was sitting in the garden.
The lark was not visible; but his song
was heard, ever bright and melodious,
as it mingled with the soft, signing sum-
mer wind; and the child listened eager
ly.
What are you looking at Flossie"
said her mamma.
Nothing, mamma" answered Flos-
sic.
"Are you listening to the lark? He is
too far up for you to see him."
"The lark, mamma? Is that the
lark?"
"Yes, of course it is. What did you
think 1t was. darlingY"

slightly disappointed look, 'it was the

BADLY Fluetcred,

A well-known and much beloved cler-
gyman has half a dozen good stories
which are particularly appropriate for
childish hearers, and whenever he is
asked to address Sunday school or a
public institution for the benefit of
children, as he pretty often is, some
one of these stories is certain to be
called into requisition, and Is invari
ably received with enthusiasm.
There is only one difficulty about
the matter" the clergyman says, "and
that comes from my not always being
able to remember. when called upon to
speak to an audience of children,
which story 1 told them the last time;
but a year ago, when 1 was sent for to
address q certain mission school, l
thought I was safe. AS 1 hurried to-
ward the church that afternoon, said

did last year. the superintendent said.

nutmeg story which Doctor - told us
the last time he stood on this p'OEorm.
and am sure he has an equally inter-
esting one for us to-day
''Then he sat down." concluded the
clergyman, land I was obliged to gath
er up my scattered wits and make an.
other selection from my half-doZen
stand-bys as rapidly as possible; and
to this day think that superintendent
believes that his Introduction was SO
complimentary as to embarrass me for
