A Knockout.

A young lawyer was engaged in O
case not long ago when q witness was
put in the box to testify to the reputa
ton of the place in question.
This witness, 4 stage driver, in an
swer to query as to the reputation OF
the place, replied, "A poor shop"
The lawyer inquired, You say it has
the reputation of being poor shop?
Yes, sir"
Whom did you hear say it was Il
poor shop
The witness did not recollect any
one he had heard say so.
What said the lawyer. You have
sworn this place has the reputation OF
being a poor shop and yet cannot tel
of any one you have ever heard say
so?
The witness was staggered for mo-
ment at the words of the lawyer. The
lawyer was feeling triumphant whel
the witness gathered himself together
and quietly remarked, addressing the
lawyer:
"Well, you have the reputation OF
being poor lawyer, but have never
heard any one say So"

To talk through human body, or a
row Of human bodies, for the matter Of
that, is one of the weirdest Of the cleo
trician's featS. If telephone wire be
severed and the two ends be held by
person, one in each hand, but far
apart, it is quite possible for two indi-
viduals to carry on a conversation
through the body Of the medium as
readily and as distinctly as If the line
had been properly connected.
