punishment does not consist I'm imprison-

where the Issue Was Joined.
Detroit Free Press.

Several of the lawyers had told their
stories, some of which ridiculed the con-
tinued use of legal verbiage and the absurd
lengths 10 which members of the profess
sion sometimes go in taking advantage of
technicalties.
"a rank outsider" announced the men,
listener, client OF mine. supplied the
best instance of literal Interpretation that
ever came to my knowledge. He was execu-
tor under a will that. among other provi-
sions, required the payment of an annuity
to a venerable aunt of the testator. But
proof of her being alive must be made be-
fore each payment, and this is the rock On
which the executor struck.
THE old lady proved herself In the flesh.
drew her money and went to California
where she spent two years without putting
In her claim. On her return she went In
person and demanded the double allowance
due her.
1.-The conscientious executor got out the
will, studied Ii, scratched his head, and
finally handed down this opinion:
Madam, you are alive now. There can
be no reasonable question as TO that for /
have the conclusive evidence of my own
eyes. But am possessed Of no legal proof
that you were alive a year ago. l am as
you know. within the restrictions of the
will. / will pay the annuity for this year
but must insist upon satisfactory affidavits
that you were not dead when the preceding
annuity was passed 1t took me the bet
ter part OF day to convince him that he
should settle in full"
