Rather Too Smart.

A promising barrister was wont to de-
clare that, though many bad case has
been won by brilliant sally in court,
equally as many good ones had been lost
through overriding the thing.
Not long ago case arising out of a
street accident came on for hearing at a
certain country court.
An electric tramcar had figured in the
collision, and when one of the witnesses
stepped forward he was at once tackled
by the facetious young gentleman engaged
by the plaintiffs.
"What are you?'' he began abruptly

witness.

living lightning conductor, 1 suppose?
For one moment the witness hesitated.
Then he boldly tackled the facetious one.
''Look here, young man" he remarked,
in a fatherly sort. of way. "You may
not know it, but there are different kinds
of conductors. For instance, I'm one and
you re another, and if did Mt conduct my
car better than you re conducting your

nearby and he got out party who searched
the neighborhood for an hour. Frank
Long. going through tall grass at the dark
corner of 15lst street and Walton avenue,
stepped on an electric light wire which
the storm had torn down. He was thrown
down by a shock and blue flames leaped
from the wire, lighting up the face Of boy
lying nearby. The lads hands clasped
a coil of the wire part Of which Long had
stepped on, Long tore him loose, called
his companions and had the boy sent to
the Lebanon Hospital.
The boy was the twelve year old son Of
John o. Casfens of l5lst street and Mott
avenue. In the hospital he revived long
enough to tell his father that on his way
home from an errand he had stepped on
the coil of wire in the darkness and was
thrown down on the coil, part of which he
grasped. He lay there for an hour under
an alternating current Of 1000 volts. DR..
Rosenberg Of the hospital said he would
probably die, or if he recovered would lose
the fingers Of both hands.
The wire belonged to the North New

men repairing the line found it broken
in tho daytime, coiled it up and threw it
on the grass, leaving an end still attached
TO the pole. At night the wire became
charged. The lamps on that corner should

LONDON, Sept l8.-Upon the resumption
Of the meeting Of the Alaskan Boundary
Commission to-day. Sir Robert Finlay.
the Attorney General. read extensively from
the notes exchanged between Great Britain
and the United States He said that If
the contention of the United States COM
missioners that no mountains existed along
the SOC allied crest from which the east ern
boundary should run were sustained IL
would mean that the treaty was absolutely
nulliied, since no treaty could be fixed
dependent on non-existert mountains.
He then took up the question as to what
was meant by the Portland Channel. He
commended that the phrase referred to the
narrow Pearse Canal. on the ground that
this was used by Vancouver, whose MARIA
tive plays large part in determining this
point.
Should this content ion be sust aimed II
would give to Canada the control of the
navigable broad channel and restrict the
United States to the Use OF the narr ow
dangerous and unnavigable Pearse Chan
mel
At this afternoons session, Sir Robert
Finlay devoted his argument to expound-
ing the importance of Vancouver's MARIA
tive, which, he said, was known to the nego-
tiators of the treaty of 1925. The United
States commissioners rest their ontent ion
principally upon the map of Vancouver
