An Oregon attorney who filed pretended
aftidavits to which he affixed his official
jurat as notary public when the signers had
never been sworn, but merely admitted the
signing, excused himself by asserting hat
this was 1.-THE usual manner of administer
ing oaths In such cases." but he was not
able to convince the court of that fact.
A unique formula for swearing to an
affidavit adopted by a we'll known attorney
of western New York, whose characteristic
nasal solemnity made it affective, was this:

afhdavits usually be-"
Out in Indiana a good many years ago a
certain old woman, summoned as a witness,
came into court wearing a large poke bon
net such as was then much affected by
rural folks. Her answers to the questions
put to her being rather indistinct, the court
requested her to speak louder, though with
out much success.
1.-THE court cannot hear a word you say,
my good woman" said the Judge. please
to take off that huge bonnet of yours"
Sir she said composedly, and distinctly
enough this time, 1.-THE court has a perfect
right to bid a gentleman take off his hat,
but it has no right to make a woman re-
move her bonnet"
Madam replied the Judge, you seem
so we'll acquainted with the law that I
think you had better come up and take a
seat with us on the bench"
II thank your honor kindly" she re-
s%ponded. dropping a low courtesy to the
court, but there are old women enough
there already"
Judah Philip BenjanAn, who was attorney
general of the southern confederacy and
afterward a member Of the English bar, is
said by his biographers to have had great
power in applying the theory OF law to
daily practice" The Fortnightly Review
lately reported an instance of his shrewd-
ness and convincing logic:
He was counsel for a plaintiff who owned
a cargo of cotton and claimed damages
against a Liverpool warehouseman, who
had accepted 1t to be warehoused at a stip-
ulated rent. The warehouse. 1t was said,
was old and the walls and roof gave way,
in consequence of which the cotton was
damaged.
The defendant spared no expense in pro-
curing witnesses of the class known as
experts upon whose evidence, rightly or
wrongly, SO many caustic remarks have

One after another these men came into
the box, with the full confidence of vast
experience-architects, builders, engineers,
warehousemen and all who could assist in
demonstrating to the jury that no stronger
or more perfect warehouse had even been
constructed.
At last, by way Of climax, came a gentle
man whose great prestige and combined ex-
perience as both architect and engineer
eclipsed that Of all who had preceded him.
He gave his evidence in that calm and
measured tone which demands acqulescence
from all who hear 1t and explained the i'm
possibility OF the accident having occurred
in consequence OF any improper construc-
tion or want Of repair.
While this was going on Mr.. Benjamin
sat taking a note in solemn gravity; then he
rose to cross-examine the witness.

Destroys Frank Millard's House-Loss II
$1,000; Insurance $500.

Frank Millard's dwelling house sit
uated east of the Belding silk mill
caught fire Monday night at about ten
o'clock and was destroyed.
The fire department responded to
the alarm soon but some delay was eX-
perienced in getting stream OF water
to play on the building which was
pretty well enveloped in flames, how
ever, they succeeded in subduing it but
not until the house was so badly wreck
ed as to be practically worthless. Mr..
Millard was having some repairs and
decorating done preparatory to its
being occupied by a tenant. Spencer
g. Moulton were doing the work and
lost some OF their outfit. Mr.. Millard
built the house several years ago
through the loan association but was
not living there, having moved out
last summer. The property was in
sured tor $500.

The aforesaid gentleman Is an enthu-
siastic member Of the Whist Club and
of course he attended the session Of
that organization Tuesday evening.
His wife is member of lodge which
met The same night so he requested
her 70 stop with lady friend after
lodge closed if it should get through
firstand he would call for her on his
way home This gentleman and his
parher succeeded in defeating their
opponents which apparently so elated
himand swelled his head with pride
thenat that all thoughts OF that watt
ing better half passed entirely from
his mind. He went home, sat down by
the ire and read for half an hour in
ordu to calm down his fevered brain
afte the heroic struggle he had passed
thrugh mot that we mean to intimate
thu. he never won game before, for
he las) and then gradually coming
bacl to the commonplace once more he
beqn to think of his wife. He looked
in II the bedrooms in the house with
outfnding her of course, when sudden
ly t dawned upon him what the ar
ragement had been between them.

he quickly donned street attire once
mce, praying that that lodge was still
in session. and started after her. He
go four or five blocks when he met
he on her way home. Some things
ar best not pursued too far. Perhaps
1t 5 best that we should draw the cur
tan here.

A WOnan's Burden,

that grows heavier day by day; that is
sapplng their vitality, clouding their
happiness, weighing them down with
the woe of Ill health. 4 Il & va,

Of to-day. A wife with such ambition
as only a loving wife can have. But

Suffering as thousands OF her. sisters
have suffered, she almost despaired OF

She wants others to profit by her ex-
perience: to grow well; to enjoy health:
to be as happy. as she Is.

that o. step on the floor unsettled me.
