German Understanding OF Reco,ver.


case was In one of the Cincinnati
courts that involved receiver for n
building association. The plaintiff
was a highly respected German who
knew what he wanted, but in some
manner the attorney had not taken
the steps that his client desired.
When the plaintiff was on the stand
his attorney examined him ut length.
During the examination the old gen.
tleman became excited and answered
the questions In such q way that the
Judge was under the impression that
he didn't thoroughly understand the
questions and answers. He declared
that he didn't want receiver, that he
didn't want his attorney to take the
step, and that all he wanted was his
money.
AT this point the Judge suggested
that the court interpreter be sent for,
that the German might make himself
more clearly understood. But he de-
ciared that he understood what he
wanted, and that was his money, and
If he failed to get 1t he would kill
himself.
To ascertain if he knew what he
wanted the Judge said:
DO you know what a receiver Is ?''
Yes, sir; do, SIR" said the honest
German. "He vos der man vot gifts
der monish und l gifts nottings."
This convinced the Judge that the
plaintiff knew quite well what he
fpl ytY,fr g.
was dispensed with, fer the time be-
ing, at least.
Il guess said the Judge, In con.
clusion, "he knows about as much
about receiver as we do"

Mark Twain and His Pyjamas.

Mark Twain has an intense dislike
for clothes, and if it were possible
would remain in his pyjamas day in
and day out. And whenever no can do
SO he eats breakfast in them, receives
his friends and works in them. His ia
vorite mode Of writing is to lie flat Oh
the floor on his stomach in his pyjamas
with pipe in his mouth. When on
lecture tours, he never gets out of his
sleeping clothes until it is time to go to
hall or opera house. When the fit strikes
him, he likes to exercise, and then with
his customary shamble will shuttle
along for miles and exhaust his most
athletic companion, But he feels far
more at home in his pyjamas than in
street suit or evening clothes, and in
them he remains as great part of tho
day as Mrs. Clemens will allow him.
