This story is told of Judge who
was for some years on the District of
North Dakota, says an exchange. On
one occasion an attorney appeared
before him with written request
that a writ of duces tecum, linguidius
licit, issue; and the Judge after adj
iusting his glasses and giving the pa
per a very careful reading, handed it
to the clerk with instructions that
that the writ issue, whereupon the
clerk inforrled the Court that NE was
not an attorney, and did not under
stand the nature of the writ; so the
Court again took the paper, bowed
his head, and apparently went off in
to the far land of study, and after
some moments had elapsed arose and
addressed the clerk as follows:
"Mr, Clerk, you will issue writ
that viii will play the deuce general
ly, and take 'em in goin' an comm
