Testimony Dragging Along and Case Becoming Very Tedious.

Testimony Dragging Along and Case Becoming Very Tedious.
 The case of Lawlor vs Scadden, which has been before the superior court for the pastrsix days, was sus pended temporarily yesterday after noon until Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. The case Is becoming very tedious and several times Judge Wheel CT has hinted to the attorneys that they are unnecessarily dragging it out. He informed Attorney O'Neill yesterday that most of his witnesses were fifteen minute witnesses and he was dallying with them on the stand almost an hour. He did not think this was right.
 The closing witnesses were physi- clans. pr Mcdonald testified that on one occasion MT McGivney, whose money is at stake in the case showed better evidence of competency than he did himself. The old man reminded the doctor of visit he had made and which he had forgotten about in mak- ing mp his bill. Dr Donahue said the. old man had illnesses peculiar to his age, but that they did not impair his mentality in any way.

SWELLING HER INcoME.-A good
story is told Of man who one day told
his wife that he would give her all the
silver pieces she found in his purse or
pockets which were coined the year she
was born.
AS result the lady in due course of
time had quite an amount Of silver on
hand-so much, in fact, that she went
to the bank and deposited it in her
name.
Then, speaking to the cashier. the
lady said: my husband tells me you
are going to pay him some money to-
day. Will you please pay him In this
silver I have just deposited? I should
be so much obliged to you If you
would"
OF, course the cashier quickly replied
that he would be happy to please her.
AS result the lady has still more
birthday money.-London Answers.

A FRIENDLY T1P.-Mr. Jones kept
toyshop and among various things sold
fishing rods. For the purpose Of ad-
vertising them he had a large rod
hanging outside, with an artificial fish
at the end Of it. Late one night, when
most people were in bed, a man who
was rather the worse for his nights
enjoyment happened to see this fish.
He looked at it, and then went eau
tionsly up to the door and knocked
gently. Jones did not hear this. so af-
ter the man had knocked little louder
he responded at the window up above.
who's there?" said Jones.
Don't make a noise," said the man
in a whisper. but come down as quiet
ly as you can."
At this request our friend thought
there must be something the matter.
So, after dressing and coming down as
quietly as possible, he proceeded to ask
what it was.
What is the matter?" he inquired.
"Sh" said the man. "Pull your line
in, quick! You've got bite!"

Large Connection.

An amusing story is told Of Robert
Simson, who was professor OF mathe-
matics at the university Of Glasgow
and as eccentric in some ways as ne
was brilliant in others. He always
counted his steps on the street and al
lowed nothing to interfere with this
valuable practice. If any one spoke to
him during the process. he repeated
the number Of the last step taken and
stopped short until he could resume
his count and walk on. .
One day he was accosted by a man
who knew him by sight, but had never
been told of the professors habit of
counting steps.
II beg your pardon, professor" he
said, at which the mathematician halt
ed, murmuring Five hundred and sew
enty-three."
MAY I have word with you?" ask
ed the man.

"Oh, no; merely one question"
"Well-573."
"You are too kind; but, knowing your
acquaintance with the late DR.. B., may
I venture to ask whether am right In
saying that he left e 500 to each Of his
nieces?"
"Precisely-573."
"And there were four nieces, were
there not?"
"Exactly-573."
The man stared at the professor, and
then, muttering, 'Five hurdred and
seventy -three-he must be crazy" he
made a hasty bow and started away.

a step as he spoke; mot 57S nieces-
