BIG ICE JAWS

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-The ice jam

COURT KNEW THE GAME.
And Took Judicial Notes of the Fins
Points as They Were
Narrated.

Senator Clay, OF Georgia. is looked
upon as one of the best raconteurs in
the upper house of congress. In negro
dialect stories he is inimitable. saws
the Louisville Courier-Journal This
is his latest:
When Judge David Irwin was hold
ing court in Marietta, Ca, negro was
brought before him for smashing the
nose OF a companion while the Two
were engaged in supposedly friendly
game of cards. There were a dozen
witnesses who testified that there was
no provocation whatever, but that the
prisoner had suddenly leaned over The
table and smashed the nose of the
man opposite, nearly knocking That
organ out of place.
The belligerent was convicted of as
sault and battery and sentenced to six
months imprisonment. The man had
in the past borne good reputation
and Judge Irwin had known him for
years, and besides the judge was noted
for his clemency to first offenders. So
he asked the prisoner, when the case
came before him for review, why he
had acted in such manner.
You must have had some reason"
he said. Now tell me all about it. Just
between ourselves"
Deed | did hab some reason,
jedge; deed | did," the negro blurted
out. 'Jedge, did you eber play sebnn-
up?"
The stern dispenser of justice de-
clined to answer the question.
Whether | play seven-up or not has
nothing to do with the case" he said.
But 'ded it hab, jedge; it hab heaps
to do wifi it," the negro insisted. for
lessen you can play seben-up you cain t

When order was restored the judge
