 A suit for $1O0 damages has been instituted by James Coffey, a butcher, against Thomas Walsh of South Main street. Attorneys Cassidy and Ken, nedy represent the plaintiff. X few days ago Coffey and Walsh, while driving, met on South Main street. They discussed for while the merits Of their horse flesh. As they were about to part Walsh jokingly struck Coey's horse with his whip, causing it to give sudden bound forward and then run away.

The Value Of a Side Remark.

A. S. l.. Shields, Philadelphia's we'll

a case in his favor by the happy in
spiration of a side remark.
George S. Graham, then district at

ing his plea To the jury. Suddenly
pointing to the prisoner, he shouted.
He has been in politics too long to
be honest!"
He paused for moment to let the
full signifi,a ,anco of the words sink
home when in quiet but penetrat-
ing voice, Mr. Shields, leaning to-
ward the speaker, said:
you've been in politics some little
time yourself, haven't you, George?
The jury shook with laughter, Mr..
Graham sat down discounted, and a
few minutes later the twelve good
men and true brought in verdict OF
not guilty.
