LOST JURISDICTION.
The Fence Broke Down Under Sudi-
ciaI Weight and Changed the
Laws Mandate.

Some of the supreme court justices have
an inexhaustible fund Of humor, and they
frequently intersperse funny anecdotes
with their solemn deliberations, once they
are inside the sacred domain Of their pri-
yate session chambers, affirms the Washing
ton Star. Justice Brewer is one Of the most
inimitable story tellers among them, and
he told one the other day that amused his
colleagues immensely. Out in Indiana, he
said, there was justice Of the peace who
owned farm. One line of his fence formed
the boundary Of the states of Indiana and
Ohio. Like others in rural districts who
hold that office he had an abnormal appre-
citation of the responsibility of the office,
and never lost an opportunity to exercise
his prerogative of demanding that the peace
be preserved. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on stretch OF the farm
near the boundary line fence, and the justice
of the peace rushed out and mounted the
fence. Then, with head cooked high and
the air of one who has but to command, he
shouted: "In the name of the state of In
diana, demand the preservation Of the
peace!" just then the fence gave way un-
der his weight, and as he went down with
the fence topping over to the Ohio side he
shouted to his son: "Give him the mis-
chief, Jim; I've lost my jurisdiction"
