stealing a duck. He set up seven 3det en-.

paid for it: (2) he found It; 60 y was
given to him; az flew into his garden;
II l5) it was put in his pocket while nc
slept:56 and z are not recorded; but some
one suggested that there never was any
duck at ALI The accused was ACQUITTED,
not because they chose any particular.

which to choose, and SO gave tho pris--

There Is a story told OF an American
lawyer of note who, after hearing his
clients story, asked him how much money
h he had on him. The client told the law
yer what he had, and gave It to him.
Now said the lawyer. you want me to
advise you what to d. In order! to get out
OF this trouble Yes. the client said
WELL, the lawyer continued. do you SEQ

you can clear yourself by jumping out
of that window and run, run fast, and
don't stop until you get out OF the coIn-
