~ 1t occurred in Judge Lawlor's court few
days ago There was murder trial on and
4 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"
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. viii hold
my watch here for two minutes. 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: "Nowl' and smiled Ike 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.
He chuekled in a comfortable German way,
during the rest OF the session. At the noon
recess he called Riley to him, and, slapping
him on the shoulder, said:

RELOCATED THE HASH.
The LandIady Could Not Withstand d
the Onslaught of the Face
tious Feeders.

Tn 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 10 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
Sundays roast served up in hash the first
boy made low bow and said:
sWhy, good morning, sir; think I've met
you beforel"
The second shook his head mournfully and
exclaimed "The last sad state of Mr..
Beef"
"Ah, yes" said the third, "the poor fel.
low IS all cut up"
''The remains Of close friend" sighed
the fourth.
''Yes, closer than brother" assented the
fifth.
"The victim of terrible grind!" finished
the sixth, as they took their places at table.
