A Batch OF Anecdotes.

Some interesting anecdotes and Cos
sip, new and old, of the law courts are
given in the English Illustrated Maga-
zine. The writer Of the article, Mr. a.
j. Hughes, was once present in court
when juror who opened the ball by
saying, This case, my lord, really lies
in nutshell received the reply, You
crack it then.
There have been times when clever
witnesses have got the better of coun-
sci in a skirmish of words. When the
farrier was asked where he got his
knowledge Of the mares age from, he
said, From the mares own mouth,
SIR
Irish lawyers are generally endowed
by Dame Nature with quick wits.
Among them all, perhaps, Curran held
the palm for lightness and viyacity.
When some one told him that no stu
dent should be called to the bar who
did not possess a landed estate of his
own, he retorted, "How many acres
make a wiseacre?"
But it was a Scotsman, appropriately
enough Lord Brougham, who, seeing
his horses take fright, yelled TO the
coachman, "Drive into something
cheap"

As the Conservatives at the previous
election had a majority of upward of
l0J3. Roses victory is notable. The con-
test in the great sporting center was
fought with remarkable vigor. Horse
owners. trainers and jockeys joined with
the politicians III canvassing the constit-
uency and motor cars were so numerousls'
requisitioned in working the division that
the local supply of oil temporarily gave

CROP CONDITIONS ARE
REPORTED AS FAVORABLE
But Slight Damage Done to the
Wheat Yield by Extreme
Cold.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Weather
Bureaus monthly summary of crop condi-
tions is as follows: In the principal win
ter wheat States the month averaged
cold. with more than the usual amount of
precipitation. The temperature condi-
tions were. however, not unfavorable to
winter wheat until. the last decade, when
the States of the Upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys experienced tenpera-
ture ranging from zero to Is degrees be-
low. During this period the Ohio Valley
States were generally well protected with
snow covering. but in the Central Missis-
sippi and Lower Missouri valleys the crop
was exposed. Only slight damage, how
ever, seems to have resulted, and at the
close of the month the crop appears to be
very promising. Complaints of injury by
fly are not extensive and are largely con-
fined to the Ohio Valley.

ADDICKS' PROPOSITION
DOES NOT FIND FAVOR
Delaware Regulars Decline to Be
Lured Into Accepting Caucus
Scheme.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 3.-The reg
ular Republican members of the General
Assembly met here to consider the propo-
sition presented yesterday by the Union
or Addicks Republicans, concerning a di-
vision of the offices of the Legislature
The Union Republican committee stated
it's willingness TO divide the offices equal
ly, providing the officers were chosen by
a caucus of all Republican members of
the Assembly. 1t is said that this propo-
sition is not acceptable to the regulars,
for the reason that if they should partici-
pate in joint caucus the question
of officers and decline to do so on the
question Of the election of a United States
Senator they might be subject to criti-
cism. The whole question was postponed
until Monday.
