Worcester morning daily spy. (Worcester, Mass.) 1888-1898, 1898-01-09
A SURPRISING APOLOGY.
From HougehoId Words,


young advocate before the Scotch
lords of session. on hearing a decision
against his client, which he deemed con-
trary to law and justice, so far forgot
himself as to exclaim that he was "sur-
pr.sed at such decision" Their lord
ships were very angry, and were con-
sidering how to mark their sense Of the
advocates impertinence, when a paWlky
old councillor rose, and besought their
lordships' forgiveness for the slip mis-
young brother advocate had made of
was purely lack of experience that led
him into error. Had he known your lord
ships half rs long as have done. I'm
hanged if he would have been surprised
at ANYTHING your lordships said or die. p

There is one point in the telegraph
scene in Secret Service, which is
to be presented at the Opera House
Monday. February 7th, in the same
manner as seen during it's runs in
New York, London, England, and Bos
ton, which has occasioned some COM
ment. Byron Douglas, as Captain
Thorne. is sending a false dispatch,
when Hardee Kirkland, as Arrelsford,
from the veranda shoots him through
the wrist. Douglas calmly wraps his
handkerchief around the wounf !ghts
a cigar and talks as unconcernedly as
if a MOSQUITO had bitten him. It has
been commended that a bullet from a
pistol the size Kirkland uses would
shatter mans wrist; that wound
of that nature would require imme-
diate medical attention; that no man
could be 50 cool and self possessed
with such a wound, and finally, no
man who showed every sign Of an in
tense nervous strain prior to the firing
Of a shot could possibly act as Douglas
does after receiving the wound. On
the other hand, friends Of Douglas say
he would act just the same were the
scene a reality.

The Bull and the Sentry.

Yesterday morning we had an anna

a bull went mad, and rushing to the
sea plunged in. This evidently did not
agree with the animal, for he quickly
emerged, and the first object meeting
his gaze was Thomas Atkins" of the

on sentry go, whom he thoughtlessly
charged, utterly forgetting the fact
that Tommy was not defenseless. be-

weapon than a rifle, mounted with IL
bayonet. The laundering charge of
the enraged bull did not disconcert
Tommy He scorned to seek the
shelter of the friendly sentrybox close
by, but Immediately, regardless of con-
sequences, brought his bayonet to the
charge, awaiting results. The bull--a
plucky fellow-gallantly went for the
bayonet, which, in the stanch and
tight grasp of Mr. Atkins, was driven
up to the hilt into the animals breast,
causing him to halt for a second or
two but, at the same time, the concus-
sion sent the unfortunate sentry reel

bull, though fatally wounded, had still
