From the New York Post: Among
the best stories by a well-lsnown angler
Is n about a Scottish laird who was
one day relating to his friends at the
dinner table the story of a fine fish he
had caught. Donald" said he to
the servant behind his chair-an
old man, but a new servant.
how heavy was the fish l took
yesterday" Donald neither spoke
nor moved. The laird repeated the
question. "Weel," replied Donald. 1T
was twal' pund at breakfast: 1t had
gotten to achtcen at dinner time. and
1t was sax-and-twenty when ye sat
down to supper wi the captain" Then.
after a pause. he added: 1--WE been

but also by Reeds parliamentary rules.
Rule 122 of the latter says: The mo-
ton toindetinitely postpone is not only

He Would Kick Anyway.

The discipline Of the older section
OF the country Is not much more Sc
we're than that of the newly settled re-
gions, where they think the fasteners
are absurdly fnical and only q shade
less fussy than the English. A hotel
clerk beyond the Missouri once ad-
vised a B~ostonian In a friendly spirit
never to register from Boston. WHY"
the innocent Bostonian inquired. BE

we always give a mar from Boston the
poorest room in the house. We know
he is going to kick anyhow, and so
we give him something TO kick about"

ton bill and "a bill appropriating $40.
o to pay incidental expenses of the

gun on the second bill Talbot of Ian

vine blessing on the work OF the week

The judiciary committee reported.

lows:

ians and wards.
House roll No. -, relating to guard

802 of the civil code.
The trouble over bill files was again
brought up in a resolution by Thomp-
son OF Merrick, i~nstructing the print
ing committee to have the bills printed
with wider margins. lie had found
difficulty in the management Of his
,fie.o MIR. Evans suggested that the
whole trouble was with the file and
not with the bills. The file was n
cheap one, utterly unified to hold "a
large number of bills. lie suggested
that the Keystone files heretofore used
with II patent appliance for holding
the bills, together were the ones the
house wanted. Milbourn of Kearney
thereupon moved that the printing
committee be instructed 20 purchase
keystone files for the use of the house
instead of the mes furnished by the
secretary OF state. The motion carried.
The senate was announced and fur
ther business stopped.
The house upon reconvcning after

or city lots. II was recommended for
passage. Two files were passed over.
Over senate file 81, quite n debate en-
sued. The bin requires juries in all
cases To render special findings when
40 requested by either party. Haunt
bal of Howard opposed the bill be-
cause 10 takes ull discretionary power
from the court.
Van Duscn of Douglas opposed 10
because there was no demand from
the people or the lawyers for such .
change. Such u change would be taken
advantage of by skillful lawyers aud
would rebound mostly TO advantage
Of defendants In personal damage
suits. He knew of but n state
that has such u law. Kansas has
u similar law, and though Kansas
is redeemed, Nebraska does not want
to follow in all things. Attorneys un-
der the bill would be able to confuse
juries by asking numerous questions.
Mr.. Talbot answered ut length. He
argued that justice would be done to-
all parties. He declared no power
ought to deprive u litigant Of the right
to ask jurics to answer questions re-
lnting To matters OF fact.
Hannibal Of Howard preferred to
trust an h NEST Judge rather than an
interested lawyer.
Van Duscn moved to recommend that
the bill he Immediately postponed.
Curric of Custer, spoke In favor Of tho
motion to postpone n IL vas adopted,
Talbot and Rookie alone voting In sup
| port of the bill,
