A Barber of Birmingham.

.'The next case is Lewis Cutter" said the clerk; 'disorderly conduct"
 Sit on the end of the bench, Mir Cut ter" said the judge. There is no pin there, he continued, seeing that the de- What did MT. Cutter do?'
 He cut me, your Honor" said the prosecutor. "I went in his shop to get a shave. I asked for a close shave, but he overdid it. He first shaved me down, then he shaved me up and then he up and cut me on the lip.'
 ''He gave you an upper cut, did he?" asked the judge.
 "Yes, sir. Then he got some caustic and burned my lip for about fifteen min utes, and then asked him politely please to let up on me and let me up, so that l could see what he had done to me. I got up and washed my face and told him I didn't owe him anything but grudge. He said that he couldn't take that in pay have to pay him 15 cents. l offered him a promissory note in payment and told him he could shave that, but he refused to accept it. Finally, I had to pay him the money"
 A witness here testified that the prose- cutor was drunk and disorderly and was hollering in the barber chair That the barber picked him a little bit in the lip which made him holler still more. T was shaving another man, judge. and heard every word. The barber did not cuss, although he Is curious cuss."
 A doctor stated that the prosecutor in vited him in to be shaved, saying that 1t was his treat That the barber cut the prosecutors lip and he got up and wash ed his face and started to walk out say ing he didn't owe anything for a cut lip.
 You can't cut my acquaintance said the barber, although I cut your lip. Then he used some cutting words-I for get exactly what they were
 Another witness said the barber did not cuss any during that particular conver- sation, although he cusses most any tme he feels like it. That the prosecutor was so much pleased with his shave that he said he would bring back some more cus- toners and forgot to pay for his shave. You know how 1t Is, judge he said.
 No. I don't know" said the judge. 'I used to be a shaver when I was small, but I outgrew the habit

Pettus Wears Ills Arctics in Senate.

Senator Pettus of Alabama who has been nicknamed "Confucius' because of the great wisdom attributed to the pop ular Southerner, evidently suffers with cold feet All day long he sat in the Senate chamber wearing a heavy pair of
 arctics which were buckled aero q eha instep. Although the temperature ae eAs Senate was about IS he did not seem to suffer any discomfort from the heavy overshoes. Senator Pettus, who is more or less famous for the old-fashioned red bandana handkerchief he uses, wore the arctics to the Senate to-day because there was a little snow furry, and he was so engrossed in the public business he evil dently forgot to remove his oyershoes, and was entirely unconscious that this caused a number of remarks to be made about them.-Washington telegram to the Chicago Tribune.

 'Is that the rooster that was making Judge. 'If so, I ought to fine him for disorderly conduct"
 That Is the corpus delicti. your Hon. or" said the prosecutors attorney.

 'Yes, sir"

 'I only wanted to turn that testimony wrong side out" said the l awyer
 When did you get on the track of that rooster?" the prosecutor was asked by his attorney.
 "I saw free ob dem fightin', an I rec ognized de tracks ob my rooster. He had his foot on another rooster's neck" Did he say sic semper tyrannis'? ?' asked his attorney
 NO, sah. He said cock-a-doodle-do.' That will do," said the judge" what the rooster said is not evidence"
 Did any of your chickens come home to roost except the rooster?" witness was asked
 No, sah."
 Another witness said that he was in bed at 12 o'clock when the defendant came to his house and woke him up. He had rooster which he wanted to sell, and he bought it. He had not been burn ing the midnight oil and could afford to buy chickens. Defendant was burning to sell it. Dat was de same rooster dere," pointing to the one in prosecutors arms. The defendant said he found the rooster and was looking for it's owner That there was nothing to connect him with the rooster except a number six track and he failed to see how such an ordinary sized track could attract attention. That he wore a number 13E, which was a tight fit.
 You have certainly put your foot in it. said the judge, "and you are in a tight place. I will bind you over to the Criminal Court and see that you are tightly bound. You will be all bound round with an iron cage and not with a wooen string"
