story of something that he once
saw in a Milwaukee courtroom.
Through the kindness and tact of
the Judge the court orier was saw

He one day attended session of
the court at which this Judge pre-
sided. The court crier was a very
old man; he had served with fide-

was beginning now to tell on him
He fell asleep while 1 was in the
courtroom and in little while he
was snoring.
The snorer. of course, disturbed
the proceedings of the court, but
the Judge showed great tact in
interrupting without embarrassing,

"Crier JONES'" he said. in loud
voice; .crier Jones. some one is
