Jurisdiction.

There was once an Indiana Judge who
was proud of two things; his stern ad-
vocacy of the majesty of the law, and
the pugilistic ability of his son. These
two hobbies came into violent conflict
once, but the problem was happily
solved. 1t happened that the judges
farm was on the Ohio boundary. and
one day he was sitting on a fence that
separated the two states. While he
was there his son and an acquaint-
ance came along, quarreling, and.
when Immediately in front of the
judge, began to fight. The Judge
Strengthened himself to his full OFF,
cial dignity, and exclaimed: II oe-
half of the majesty of the law. and
in the name Of the sovereign state
Of Indiana, command you to: keen
the peace!" Just at the moment the
rail upon which the judge was sitting
gave way and dropped him on the
Ohio side of the fence. Instantly re-
gaining his feet, and with an impetus
of vociferation that eloquently pro-
claimed his partisanship, he shouted
to his son: "Give him h, Jim! I'm
out of my jurisdiction. "-Clevsland
