A Curious AppOfntme mt.

The appointment of eS-king Milan as
general in chief of the Servian army is
assigned to curious cause. King AL
exander's mother, eX-Queen Natalie, it
seems, set such pace in dress and
court festivities that the Belgrade hus-
bands could not stand it. They re-
monstrated with the king, and, as the

TOLD HIS CLAM STORY.
How a Funny Detroit Man Won His
Case With the Jury.


Marshall P. Wilder, the funny little
man, is charged with having with
malice aforethought and evil intent
sprung a few of his tales on jury and
thereby turned their verdict in his di-
rection, says the Detroit Journal.
A few weeks ago Marshall came to
town and in the circuit court sued DIR.
Hercules Sanche on promissory note
for $1,000. He won the case, and now
the counsel for the defense has applied
for a new trial on the ground that the
jury was improperly influenced.
The lawyer says that during a recess
Marshall went out into the hall and
told the jurymen lot of funny stories,
including that one about the New Jer-
sey clam digger who fed his family ON
CLANS so long that their stomachs rose
and fell with the tide. That settled it,
the Sanche lawyer says, and the : ian
who laughs was solid as a boarding
house biscuit with the jury. They went
into court, he says, and chuckled out
verdict in his favor.
The counsel for the defense says
Wilder's jokes would win a favorable
verdict from a jury of pine stumps,
hence the application for a new trial.
