EASILY TOLD.
He Could Judge of the Passage Of
Time with the Greatest
Accuracy.

It occurred in Judge Lawlor's court few
days ago. There was a murder trial on and
a policeman named Riley was on the wit
ness stand relating the details of the trag-
edy. Said Mr.. Ferral, who was acting as
defendants counsel:
"How many minutes after the shooting
did the man die, Mr.. Riley"
1.-Two minutes, sir" answered the witness
without the least hesitation.
You seem positive about the time," re-
marked Mr.. Ferral, with the air of one who
has the upper hand. "Now, I'm going to
test your ability to judge time. will hold
my watch here for two mi nutes. When you
think the time is up, say when"
The defendants counsel held the watch
on the witness and stood examining the hand
carefully. The policeman, however, did not
seem to be worried at all at the tax upon
his mental apparatus. He sat staring va
cantly about the room, and at the exact Sec
ond when the two minutes had expired,
remarked: "Now!" and smiled like tickled
sphinx.
Mr.. Ferral was staggered at the uncanny
accuracy of the witness, and Gen. Solomon,
who was prosecuting, was delighted pro-
portionately at his opponents discontinue.

recess he called Riley to him, and, slapping
him on the shoulder, said:

In certain boarding house, where variety
was not the spice of life, and where hash
was so frequent an occurrence that it would
have been advertised for if it had come up
missing, lived six boys, who were battling
with a cold world and colder landlady.
This perpetual hash grew monotonous,
and the boys determined to Danish it from
the table, by fair means or foul. Accord
ingly, when they filed into the dining-room
on Monday morning and recognized the
Sunday roast served up in hash the first
boy made low bow and said:
why, good morning, sir; think I've met
you before!"
The second shook his head mournfully and
exclaimed: "The last sad state of Mr..

No Wonder He smelled 1t.

of those women who borrow trouble indis-
criminately had occasion to make a trip
east recently.
His wife was very anxious about him and
felt certain that he would fall victim to
smallpox, which was reported to be preva-
lent in the city to which he was going. She
begged him to carry little lump Of asafetida
in his pocket to ward off contagion.
Naturally he objected and positively re-
fused to be made the permanent abode of
such a. persistent odor.
When he came home from his trip he said
to his wife:
