AN IRISH JUDGE.

Lord Morris, always a wit, and now
a distinguished judge, comes from Cal
way, and has never lost the mellifluous
brogue Of West of Ireland folk. This
characteristic makes the groundwork
of a story which the London Tele-
graph tells of him.
One day Lord Morris was sitting at
the Four Courts as Lord Chief Justice
of Ireland, when young barr1ster
from the north rose nervously to make
his first motion. The judge had de-
clared that no one listening to himself
would ever take him for anything but
an Irishman, which was perfectly cor
rect. But Galway could not under
stand Antrim. The lord chief justice
leaned over to ask the associate where
the barrister hailed from.
County Antrim" was the response.
Then asked his lordship of the off,
cial: Ibid ye iver come across sfch
a frightful accint in the course of yer
loife?"
At another time it fell to his lot to
hear a case at Coleraine, in which
damages were claimed from a veter-
mary surgeon for having poisoned
valuable horse. The issue depended
upon whether a certain number Of
grains Of a particular drug could be
safely administered to the animal. The
dispensary doctor proved that he had
often given eight grains to a man,
from which it was to be inferred that
twelve for a horse was not excessive.
Never mind yer eight grains, doc
thor" said the judge. 1--WE all know
that poisons are cumulative in effect,
and we may go to the edge of ruin
with impunity. But tell me this:
The twelve grains-wouldn't they kill
the devil himself If he swallowed
them?"
The doctor was annoyed and pomp-
ously replied: II don't know, my lord;
I never had him for patient"
From the bench came the answer:
"Ah, no, docthor, ye niver had,
more's the pity! The old bhoy's still
aloive!"

PAID HIS DEBT.-When Joe Chamber
lain entered the house Of commons, he
was anxious to try his oratorical pow
ers. A certain leading politician, who
was plotting bill through the house,
was approached by one of Chamber
lain's friends, who said:
chamberlain would like to speak
on the bill. Can you give him a
chance?"
"Well, you know, I think it would
not do. He's new member, and no
body knows what the dickens he might
say
Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-became a power in parliament.
The leading politician, on the con-
trary, had made a series of blunders
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent. Forgetting his
previous record, he thought that if he
could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak
for him that he would strengthen his
position. He, therefore, applied to the
right honorable gentleman.
The latter calmly survey him through
his eyeglass and said:
"Well. you know, think It would not
do. I am a new member, and nobody
knows what the dickens might say!"

USED TO RUN A HOTEL.

ct was up at Niagara Falls the other
day." said Washington man. 1.-The
summer rush had just begun. While
I was in the Office = guest entered to
register. The landlord sized the arri-
val up as a kicker while he was writ
ing his name in the register, and before
anything could be said about rooms.
rates or conveniences he observed:
Perhaps you have made mistake
in the hotel. This is the Great View
House. The Small View House Is two
blocks down the street"
''This is the place I want" replied
the guest.
But our rooms are small and the
beds nothing to brag Of"
THAT will be all right. I've been
sleeping in hall bed room on shelf
for year past"
There is no roaring to be heard
here"
I'm glad Of it."
"And the meals are very plain"
"That suits me. I've got dyspepsia,
and the palmer the meals are the bet
ter"
"You don't object to hand organs by
day and squalling babies by night"
"Not the slightest. I've roamed all
over Europe, and you cannot have any
thing here to compare"
The landlord saw that he had made
mistake in sizing up the man; but be
hated to admit it, and therefore con-
tinued:
"My rates are 50 a day."
That's cheap enough for a hotel
here" replied the man.
"Do you look for rainbows over the
falls?"
-"Not a bit of it. If they come along
I'll take my share; but any old bow
will do for me-"
"Are you afraid of typhoid fever?"
"No, sir"
There's only one cataract here
"I don't want any more. Give me
the poorest, smallest room in the house
and If you want to put a man In with
me all right, and I'll use anything Tor
a wash basin and furnish my own soap
and towels. Your rates are 50 a day.
Here is 500 to start on"
Lord, Lord, but.what kind OF man
are you?" gasped the landlord as his
head began to swim.
1T. Oh, I used to run a hotel here
myself and I know how to sympa-
thize!" smiled the guest. Just let
things run along the same as If was
not here. If it is handy give me clean
sheets once in two weeks; but don't go
to putting yourself out or worrying
over me. Here's for 33 days in advance
and in case you run short anytime just
let me know and I'll lend you $500 to
get along with.

seems to have been especially suscep-

the Paris American Register. brought
an honorable scar or two from India.
Once he described his part in bat

and how. as one rider fell dead from
his saddle, the death grip OF his fingers
on his pistol discharged it and killed
his own horse.
