Raising a False Issue.

A story well known to lawyers of the
last generation is about the umbrella
case" a, man was charged with steal
ing an umbrella, and a number Of wit
nesses went into the box to testify to
the offense. The counsel for the de-
fendant noted that each witness car
ried an umbrella lthe time Of year was
midsummer, which explains the neces-
sity for these impedimenta) AS a
matter of fact the prisoner had no de-
tense to make. The barrister, thrown
on his wits, exclaimed: Gentlemen of
the jury, did you not notice that each
Of the witnesses carried an umbrella
into the box? Why is this, gentlemen
1t is done in order to infect your minds
with the idea of an umbrella, to preju-
dice the prisoner in your eyes, to raise
"a false ISSUE and appeal to you
to signify your detestation of this con
certed action by bringing in a verde,
of not guilty" The judge, who i'm
agined that little attention would be
paid to such plea, took little time and
less pains to sum up the case. The
jury nevertheless brought in verdict
in accordakee with the resourceful bar
rister's wishes.-London News.

Ibsen,s Grunness.

In 1891 Georg Brandes happened to
be with some friends at Sandwich,
near Christiania, when they heard that
Ibsen was staying at the local hotel.
They decided to invite him to dinner,
but he declined when he was told that
there would be nine persons at the ban
quet. II never dine with so large a
party" he said. Finally he was per
suaded to say Yes" but in the mean
time the number of persons whose re-
quest to be present Brandes could not
possibly refuse had grown to twenty
two. Ibsen was furious when he dis
covered this, but Brandes managed to
get him to the dining room, where, how
ever, the poet looked SO forbidding that
champagne had to, be served immedi-
ately after the soup to give courage ia
the guests. Ibsen acted like bear all
