Many are the anecdotes which illus
trate Judge Gary's skill at repartee and
quickness of wit when on the bench.
He has always had an especial dislike
for men who try to shirk jury service
on flimsy excuses Once little German
tried to escape by making the plea that
he could not speak good English.
"You'll not have to speak at all, y
said the judge.
"Vell, shudge, I don't t'ink l makes

talesman.
"Why not?"
"Vell," with gesture in which he
indicated the attorneys, II don't un-
derstood holdings vat dose fellers say. y
"Neither does any one else. Sit
down." thundered the judge.
A young lawyer, just admitted to the
bar, was once appointed by Judge Gary
to defend prisoner. 1t was the young
lawyers first case, and he was anxious
to make a good showing, but in spite OF
all lis efforts the man was convicted
and sentenced to IS months III prison.
Meeting the Judge later, the lawyer re-
marked:

graveyard for ships More than . score
of times has the New South shoal light
ship been wrenched from her moorings
by the fury Of a winters gale, but she
has always survived and after BRIEF pe'
RODS Of wandering resumed her lone
some vigil.
There are under the control OF the
lighthouse establishment no fewer than
l,475 lighthouses and lighted beacons
in American waters. Many of the men
who trim the lights and keep them
burning at these various stations are al
most as wholly isolated from the rest
of mankind as if they lived on the
moon. A few of the lighthouses are SO
situated that communication with the
mainland is confined to the monthly OF
even less frequent visits of the supply
boat.
One of the most desolate posts is that
of the keepers Of the light on the Faral'
