A Point mt Iaaue.

Several of the lawyers had told their
continued use of legal verbiage and the
absurd lengths to which members of
the profession sometimes go in taking
advantage of technicalities.
"a rank outsider" announced the
member Of the profession who had
been a good listener, "a client of mine,
supplied the best instance of literal in
depreciation that ever came to my
knowledge. He was executor under
will that, among other provisions, re-
quired the payment of an annuity to a
venerable aunt of the testator. But
proof Of her being alive must be made
before each payment, and this is the
rock on which tho executor struck.
'The old lady proved herself in the
flesh, drew her money and went to Cal
ifornia, where she spent two years
without putting in her claim. On her
return she went in person and demand
ed the double allowance due her.
"The conscientious executor got out
the will, studied it, scratched his head
and finally handed down his opinion:
Madam, you are alive now. There
can be no reasonable question as to
that, for have the conclusive evidence
Of my own eyes. But l am possessed
Of no legal proof that you were alive a
year ago. l am, as you know, within
the restrictions of the will. l will pay
the annuity for this year, but must in
sist upon satisfactory affidavits that
you were not dead when the preceding
annuity was passed.

to convince him that he should settle

An Excuse For q Pardon.

When the stern Duke of Wellington
was prime minister under George Nv,
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con-
stantly outwitted him. One Of his
earliest official acts was to bring be-
fore her a court martial death sentence
which he expected her to sign as q
matter of course. A soldier was to be
executed for desertion, and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her eyes.
full Of tears. to his face, saying:
"Have you nothing to say in behalf
Of this poor manY
Nothing" Said the duke, standing at
attention like one Of his own privates;
'he has deserted three times"
"Oh, your grace, think again." plead
ed the queen as if she were asking for
the life Of her dearest friend.
"Well, your majesty, he certainly is
a bad soldier, but there was. somebody
who spoke for his good character. He
may be tolerably good fellow in civil
life."
"Oh, thank you," said the queen in
heartfelt tones, and before the aston.
ished duke could. utter word of pro-
test she had written across the paper
the word 'Pardoned." -e..-.: s.-....,.e
