STORIES OF READY WIT.
Various Kinds of RetOrt illustrated
by Good Anecdotes.

by Good Anecdotes.
The retort is of all verbal coins the
quickest to get into circulation and the
readiest to pass from one hand to an
other. Perhaps Of all coins it is also
the oldest. In our English tongue we
have legends of the repartee of king
and courtier for we'll nigh a thousand
years. The pun, which is often spe-
cies of retort, goes as far back as our
language. To play on words, often in
a very personal manner, is the simplest
form of retort. Old Thomas Fuller
made a witty as we'll as true epitaph
for himself when he bade them write
on his tombstone two words only,
"Fullers Earth" But Fuller himself
got caught sometimes. The name,
"Sparrowhawk," in which one of his
friends rejoiced, was too tempting to
the habitual punster, and so he asked
the unfortunate man who was afflicted
with it what was the difference between
a sparrowhawk and an owl. The an
swer which he got was: AN owl is
fuller in the head, and fuller in the face,
and fuller all over" which was proba-
bly, more fuller than Fuller bargained
for.
Dunning, the famous wit and lawyer,
was badgering a witness on one occa-
sion, and persisted in asking him If ne
did not live "in the verge of the court. y
He was probably poor debtor, who in
the then condition of the English law
did this to avoid his creditors. The wit
ness was forced to admit that he did.
And. pray. SIR" said Dunning, for
what reason did you take up your res
idence in that place." ITO avoid the
rascally impertinence of dunning," an
swered the witness.
The perpleXities of our English
tongue gave chance for fusilade of
retorts in a western court.

A retort which hit as hard as this
was made upon a would-be poet at his
club. "I," said he, have written
great number of poems. but do not
propose to have them published until
after my DEATH"
"Hurrah!" shouted a chorus of
friends, raising their glasses, there's
long life to you, old man."

Ledger. October /: While hauling
granite to Heath Sprinss from the quar-
ry at the Strait place last Friday Mr..
Parry S. White had a fine mule killed
by a piece of the stone being jostle
from the front of the wagon on the mule
while the wagon was going down a
steep hill. Another mule of the team
was knocked down but only slightly
hurt. ....S. w. Heath has leased from
Dr. T. ]. Strait, 90 acres of his granite
quarry lands for 10 years with the priv
ilege of purchasing at any time before
the expiration of the lease at 5000 per
acre. The doctor is to receive 20 cents
per cubic yard for all rock moved. *.

called on market days in an English
country inn-probab bly, because it is so
much better than ordinary-a company
of travelling men met one day some
where in the north of England. Among
the group there was a drummer whose
conversation was not distinguished by
excess of either wit or understanding.
AS is generally the case with people
who have nothing to say worth hear
ing, he talked a great deal, to the evil
dent disgust of the rest of the company.
When cheese was served in the usual
course, it was of a decided "lively'
brand, much to the delight of the ir-
repressible. He attacked it with great
gusto, remarking, I'm like Samson,
Staying them by the thousand!'
YES" replied quiet-looking gentle
man at the end of the table, land with
the same weapon, too!"
The snub in this instance was we'll
deserved. This is what pitiless retort
needs in order to excuse it's apparent
rudeness. A good story is told of the
quick -witted Irish lawyer, Baron
O'Grady. 1t is told of others, but the
sequel to it is, think, the property of
O'Grady:
He was on one occasion trying case
in a country court, outside the walls
of which a fair was in progress. Amid
the miscellaneous herds of animals were
a considerable number Of asses and one
of these commenced to bray loudly. At
once the chief baron stopped the advo-
cate, who at that moment happened to
be pleading: wait a moment, Mr..
Bushe, l cannot hear two at once

flushed Presently, when the judge

Austin, Texas. September ye.-rbe rail.
road commission convened in open hearing
this morning to consider the application OF
the Galveston chamber OF commerce for a
reduction OF the cotton rate cents. to
overcome alleged advantages OF Houston
and New Orleans. The hearing was post
poned from last month and there WAS a
large crowd OF Interested parties IN attend
ance. The notice Of hearing was as follows;
Complaint OF the Galveston chamber
Of commerce having been 1led with the
railroad commission N Texas to the
effect that persons engaged IN handling
cotton at Galveston are OF afforded the
same facilities and assessed equal
freight charges as persons similarly en-
gagged ct Houston and New orleans, in
that free drayage and storage are nc
corded by the railroads to those hand

rates are SO adjusted at New Orleans by
the railroads as TO afford similar free

gagged In Galveston, II is ordered by the

in the rates. rules and regulations ms

All persons interested IN the matters
set forth above are requested 10 present
to the commission. on or before tho
day Of the hearing, their views In re-
gard 10 the same.
The question at last resolved Itself Into
n proposition to reduce the direrentlai,
which question has been passed on several
times and finally determined in the courts
OF the land. Mr.. Johnston had his testi-
mony peppered by the railroad attorneys
present, and the evidence clearly estob.
llsbed the fact that Galveston lost her
golden opportunity years ago and that the
Houston business men looked into the IN
ture and prepared themselves accordingly.
Houston saw the advantage OF getting or
the water front, but Galveston compress
men wouid not make the move, thinking
that trade would necessarily have to come
to them; now that Il has not, they come tC

The evidence was all heard and the argu
ments gone into. Mr.. Johnston Is still t.
