ONE on THE LAWYER.

Representative Fordney of Michigan,
the champion story-teller of the house
unless Il be Mr. Capr0n OF Rhode Is
land--Was once called as lumber eX-
pert In a court trial at Saginaw. The
trial turned on the question whether
merchantable lumber had been fur
nished, as provided In a contract. The
lawyer on the opposing side was a very
vociferous man, who shouted when he
talked, and who was also much given
10 pounding on the table with his fists.
what do You regard as merchant
able lumber this attorney asked the
present representative, on the cross
examination.
why, lumber that can be sold al a
profit replied the wise Fordney.
The lawyer pounded on the table, en-
gagged IN more loud talk, and finally
went at Mr., Fordney again.
what would you regard as mer-
charitable cotton?'
q don't know anything about cot
ton"
"Ahl You don't, do you? Wei,
what about merchantabie pumpkinsY
"Never raised pumpkins l am a
lumber man"
We'll, witness, what would you say
about slabs and culls? Are they mer-
charitable lumber
"They are the products OF the mills
"Ah" yelled the lawyer again.
please tell us. witness, whether you
have any ideas about any kind OF
merchantable articles"
Yes" responded the redoubtable
Fordney. Take a lawyer. for instance,
who tries his case with his brains. |
would call him merchantable lawyer
but one who tries his case with his
mouth and his hands. l would call a
Gull"
That ended the discrimination

SHAFTS TOOTH PULLED BY PROXY

A story Is being told in Paris of the
shah which savors more OF previous
monarchs than OF the present occupant
OF the Persian throne. When he went
over to France the shah suffered from
toothache, and so a dentist was sum-
moned to remove the offending tooth
But like less exalted mortals, the shah
when he found himself face 10 face
with the dentist, discovered that his
toothache had disappeared, and so abb
solutely refused 10 be operated on.
However his majesty declared that he
did not wish the dentist to lose his
time. and so commanded that tooth
should be extracted from each Of his
suite. He said this with his eyes on the
ground. and then. suddenly looking up.

The joint committees on ways and

finances Of the state are in bad way;
that the difference between the amount
Of money required by the state for the
next two years and the amount OF
money the state can get is about s4OO.-
0OO according to rough estimates. The
committees have canvassed the sltua-
ton and have come 10 the conclusion
that the appropriations will have TO be
cut down. OF more money raised by an
increase in the tax levy, or the exactlon
OF a new tax, such as Is contemplated
In the income tax bill IL Is quite GER
tain that this inadequacy OF the state
revenues had brought the income tax
bin into more favor.
At the meeting Of the committees last
night Senator Hamburger pointed out
how the railroads and the coal COM
