Whose Fault Was It7
Recorder Goff relates with great
glee this joke on himself: A juryman
applied to him to be excused from
serving, on the ground that he was
deaf and could not hear clearly.
You've been in the court all the
morning-didnt you hear my charge
to the jury?" asked the recorder. "Oh.
yes, your honor" was the quick reply;
Il heard II right enough, but couldn't
make any sense OF it."--New York

font, and thus the baby's little rela-
tives and future friends and playmates
all take an active part in the cere-
mony by which 1t is admitted into the
fold of the church.
