Milking 1t Clenr.

To confuse a witness is generally an
easy task and lawyers know no easier
way than to make witness explain
the meaning of his words, knowing
that very few people can do SO without
getting excited. Occasionally victim
resents this nagging and answers in a
spirited and unexpected manner. A
lawyer was cross examining young
girl of rather naughty temper. She had
testified that she had seen the defend
ant shy book at the plaintiff, and
the lawyer had seized on the word.
"Shy-shy book? What do you
mean by that? Will you explain to the
court what the word shy means?'
The girl leaned over the desk be-
meath the witness box. picked up a
lawbook and threw it at the lawyers
head, who lodged just in time.
II think the court now understands
the meaning of the word shy" said
the judge gravely, and the girl was al
lowed to finish her testimony without
further Observation-Disclosures Tit-Bits.

Inuuisitive PenEuins.

We often met companies Of six or
eight or more penguins promenading
on the arctic ice pack in the sunshine.
When they saw us, they generally ex-
hibited curiosity and approached to
get q nearer view. do not know If
these birds have the instinct Of the
naturalist and take lively interest,
doubtless philosophic from their point
of view, in everything new which pre-
sents itself or If the object of their
investigations Is entirely practical. but
they certainly came near us with dis
tinct purpose of making examination.
But if we had the misfortune to ex-
cite much curiosity they became ag-
gressive. One would first come close
to us and reconnoiter, and then, on his
order, the others would advance with
a menacing air, and the battle began,

trouble to demonstrate effectively our

BE Prepared.

Daniel Webster once told friend
that his great speech in reply to
Hayne, which is the high water mark
of modern eloquence, but which at the
time was supposed to have been deliv-
cred without preparation, had been
substantially prepared long before.
When called upon suddenly to reply to
the fiery Carolinian's attacks, which so
alarmed the New Englanders at the
capital, he was entirely at ease and
ready for the fray, for, as he said, he
had "only to turn to his notes tucked
away in a pigeonhole," and refresh his
recollection. IF Hayne," he said, had
tried to make speech to fit my notes,
he could not have hit them better. No
man is inspired by the occasion. I
never was"
