Attorney Matt Sullivan is famed for
his method of handling witnesses. Z He
does not waste much breath in pro-
pounding long, complicated questions.
On the contrary his questions are short
and sharp, and in consequence their
meaning is usually grasped by even the
dullest witnesses. 1t was therefore 4
great surprise to the attorney when a
few days ago a witness in a damage
suit in Judge Graham's court appeared
nonplused when Sullivan said to him:
Mr.. Kelly, were you in a position
to observe the position of the left hind
hub of the vehicle at the time the car
and the dray collided2"

The tale about the Stanford fresh

a coalscuttle with rags and paper and,

tones and went across the street to lie
down in vacant lOt and watch the
fun.
1t came.
There was flashing of lights from
room to room, calls and hurried orders.
Windows were thrown up and wild ap
peals were sent out into the night.
Then down the front steps, arrayed
only in a scanty mighty and silk
opera hat, came one of the senior mem-
bers. carrying a dress suit and sack
of tobacco in his hands. Hardly had he
deposited his treasures on the fence
than a window was sent hurting up
and a fearsone stream of coats. socks.
tennis racquets, pipes and dress shirts
gushed forth. Another college youth
appeared in fine negligee to drag the
garden hose into the parlor. A third
hunted for the garden spade with which
to dig up the hall carpet.
Then, to mark the climax, the foot
ball hero of the house, in crushed
strawberry pajamas and sombrero,
heaved his huge bulk out on the
caves of the house from a third-story
window and began gravely to feel OF
the shingles as he scattered along the
roof drain. That was too much. There
came a wild yell of demoniac laughter
from the lot across the street, a rush
of phantom figures in the direction of
the fellow rolling there in paroxysms
and then-the accounting.
