One Of the judges Of the Wayne cir
cult court tells of an incident In the bar
practice Of the late Colonel John At.
kinson that illustrates his Quickness to
hurl a Parthian shaft and the biting
sarcasm of his irony.
He was opposed In the ca se on trial
by all the power and resources of
James H. Pound, and they were fight
ing like giants for every point of ad-
vantage. Pound had won q majority
of the jousts, the colonel was nettled,
and was lying low for q chance to de-
liver a swinging blow.
'Tt came." says the Judge. when l
decided a point against Pound. 1t had
been fiercely argued by both attorneys,
and in deciding 1t as l did l stated my
reasons at length. giving authorities.
I saw Pound shake his head at one of
my conclusions, his lips moved. and I
supposed he had made some comment,
SO when | concluded my decision I
asked:
"'What did you say, Mr.. Poundr"
"Quick as a shot and In his most cut
ting tones Of intense sarcasm the colo
mel replied:
"'Mr. Pound did not speak. your
honor. He merely shook his head. There
is nothing In it.'"-Detroif Tribune.

A DISAPPOINTMENT.

Detroit Free Press.
The legal lights were discussing dis
appointments with which they had met,
and this is the story that one of them
told:
"The greatest disappointment that /
ever met with happened at the begin
ming of my career. I was young at the
time and inclined to hold my parents
responsible for the handicap which was
keeping me from the fame and glory
that I thought was my due.
"My bright new shingle was some
what weather-beaten, and my office
desk had two holes worn in it by my
heels before my first client came.
'But come he did one day, charging
into my office like mad bull. Glaring
at me and throwing down roll of bills
as large as my fist he shouted:
4 want to see Mr.. Blank"
" Il am Mr.. Blank, said, edging up
to the roll.
Good heavens, sonny he roared,
L want to see your father, the lawyer!
Z" 4 am Mr.. Blank, the lawyer an
swered, with all the dignity 1 could
muster.
"'Oh, Christmas!" he yelled, as he
seized his roll and put it in his pocket.
What have been retained on?" 1
asked, making bluff at the roll.
''He stared at me for moment and
then said:
=" See here, sonny, I've got an i'm
portant business engagement to meet.
I'll be back in an hour. Here's your
retainer he added, throwing down a
quarter.
"But he never came back. 1 was
looking at my picture the other day,
taken about that time, and 1 cannot say
that blame him."

needle broke, and her eyes were full
of tears. 4 can't do it, she said. 4

''Then her mother came and bade her
look at me. Now, every time I spun a
nice silky thread and tried to fasten 1t
from one branch to another the wind
blew and tore 1t away.
'"This happened many times, but at
last made one that did not break and
fastened 1t close and spaa other

"'What patient spider! she said.

WILL FIGHT WATER COMPANY
The Boise City Council Decides Not to Pay
For Water For Sprinkling.

Mondays Boise Statesman gives out
the news that the city council there has
decided to reject the proposal of the Ar
tesian Hot and Cold Water company and
by so doing they have put themselves on
record of forcing the water company to
supply water free for FIRE purposes and
other great necessities, including sprink-
ling, free of charge.
The city proposes to take the water it
needs without asking the water com.
pauy's leave. The fight promises to be
bitter one, as the company has declared
that it will not submit until the last legal
remedy shall have been exhausted.
The first round will be fought when it
is attempted to take water for sprinkling
without paying for it. The sprinkling
area has been enlarged twenty blocks.
The council decided by its vote to
sprinkle the entire area without paying
the water company one cent for the wa
ter. II is understood that when the
sprinkling season opens the company's
mains are to be tapped at will to supply
the water wagons. Then the big fight
will be on.
