A LAWYERS READY ANSWER.
In Which He Reelected Credit Upon
His Client as Well as
Himself.

An eminent lawyer, one of the most en-.
!nent in the United States, was in the midst
OF an argument before the supreme court in
defense of the patent rights of his client TO
new-fangled collar button that was beng
unlawfuily manufactured by the people on
the other side of the case. The distin-
guished counsel was describing the patent
referred to, and its many advantages, says
the Kansas City journal, when Jucge
Shiras interrupted him, and, in most seri-
Gus manner, observed:
Il should like to ask the learned counsel
If his client manufactures collar button
that won't roll under the bed
Ut course the court was shocked. Some
Foung people in the seats reserved for spec
tators Uttered, and the marshal, rapping on
his desk with his gavel, roared: Silence in
this honorable COURT" The eminent coun-
eel maintained his gravity, although his
soul must have been deeply stirred, and
had presence of mind enough to turn the in
cident to his own advantage, saying with
emphasis:
Il have the honor to inform the court
that the collar button manufactured by
my client is unique in that as well as in
other respects, but my client would not be
st to mankind"

ORIGIN OF THE APRIL FOOL.
Some Fantastic and Ingenious SuG-
gestions as to It's beginning.

April fool!
Go to school,
Tell your mamma you're foolV'
is the favorate cry with which every
child will welcome the unsuspecting eld-
er as he catches him by some trick this
fine morning But if one tell why this
one day in all the year is reserved for
playing pranks he will receive the thanks
of the scholars the world over. For the
origin of April fool day is lost in obscur-
ity. All kinds of fantastic suggestions
have been made. One perhaps intended
as a joke, was that when Noah entered
the ark it was the first of April, and he
fooled every one else in the world The
wonder is that the theorist did not go a
step further and say that when the day
on which Eve ate the apple, at the sug-
Gestion of the serpent, was the first of
April, and that the willy beast cried April
fool" 1t would be as easy to know this
as to know the day on which Noah en-
tered the ark.
Another rather ingenious suggestion is
that when the calendar was reformed in
France in 1864, by changing the beginning
of the year to Jan. l instead of April l,
as it had been, those ignorant of the
change who sent or expected the New
Year gifts on April l We're joked by Their
wiser fellow citizens. 1t is certain that in
fool capers are TO be found in France.
There the person fooled is called poisson
d avril," April fish, either because he
swallows the bait like a fish or has the
proverbial fshermans luck-gets nothing
for his pains. Some hold that the fish go
to the bottom of the streams to deposit
their eggs on April l, and he who goes
fishing on that day never catches any
fish-hence the name April fish. In Scot
land there is time honored custom of
getting some unsuspecting boy to take
note to a neighbor and in the note are
the lines:
"The first and second of Aprile
Hunt the hawk another mile!'
And the recipient of the note sends the
gawk on with another note containing
the Same lines. This operation is repeated
until the tired boy sees the joke. When
this happens the last one to receive the
lines cries:
Rim for your mither, boy, rim, rim. rim,
The eggs are ready but she hasn't hin,
And if you wait till the eggs grow cool,
Then all your life you'll be April fooli'
