COL. ArKINSoN'S WIT.
An Instance of Sudden and Singing
Sarcasm I'm His Bar
Practice.

One of the judges of the Wayne circuit
court tells of an incident in the bar prac-
tice of the late Col. John Atkinson that IL
Illustrates his quickness to hurl Parthian
shaft and the biting sarcasm of his irony.
He was opposed in the case on trial by all
the power and resources of James H. Pound,
and they were fighting like giants for every
point of advantage. Pound had won ma
jority of the jousts, the colonel was nettled,
and was lying low for a chance to deliver a
swinging blow.
ut came" says the judge, "when ] de-
cided a point against Pound. 1t had been
fercely argued by both attorneys, and in de-
Gliding it as l did l stated my reasons at
length, giving authorities. l saw Pound
shake his head at one of my conclusions,
his lips moved, and | supposed he had made
some comment, SO when l concluded my de-
cision, asked:
'What did you say?" Mr.. Pound.
"Quick as a shot, and in his most cutting
tones of intense sarcasm, the colonel re-
piled:

The Purchasers Complained of a Lack

The faculty of terse and forceful speech
is ordinarily an advantage, but occasional
ly a man gets hoisted by his own epigram
a hustling young New Yorker who was
recently established in branch of the oil
business, had set out to get the patronage
of a certain firm. The head of the concern
was reluctant TO make a change.
The oil we have been getting is not un-
satisfactory" said he, and l fail to see
why we should make a change. Are there
any extra inducements you can otfery How
do you propose to improve on the old quail
ity?"
I'm this way" was the prompt answer.

attention. / intend to put some of my brains
into every barrel of oil we send out"
The reJoinder pleased the old gentleman,
and he became a customer.
A few months later the hustling young
man was obliged to make a journey, and
in his absence, through some oversight, the
quality of oil was allowed to deteriorate.
II was quickly noted, and letter now on
file IN the office records one of the protests.
1t reads: Gentlemen: When we were
induced to use your product we were as
sured that Mr.. Blank put some of his brains
into every barrel of oil. We deeply regret
to observe that Mr.. Blank is threatened
with paresis. Washington Star.
