said Mr.. Dooley, who looked
travel stained and sunburnt.
Il think not said Mr.. Hinnis-
sy, tanning his red and perspiring
brow.
Il have" continued Mr.. Dool-
ey. i just arrived on tn Lake
Shore xpress from a weeks rusty
katin at Pine Lake, a summer re-
soort just a short trol1y ride from
Zahrits, and while there | look'd
in on tn now famous thrile
against tn best Mayor Lapoort
iver had, the popular Linn Darrow.
Connected wild Darrow on the
rack is tn irreprissible Jawn Tai
bot of South Bend, the Altgeld of
Indianny-and young light
haired la'ad nam'd Worden-city
autiorney of Lapoort'
"Phwats it all about" said Hin
Missy. Its hard to figger out"
said Dooley, Il heard they clame
a woman swore for anouter won-
an and thin admittin' her ividence
was unthrue, she blamed the law
yers for akin her to sware tn way
she did-and now swares tn way
she Swore was not thrue but all
a lie and now they iXpict her wi
dence to be used to dishbar the
lawyers named "on the ground
that her sworn testimony is not
so good as her unsworn and yet
to be sworn testimony"
"But whin | went in the Coort
house tn other day there was Sit
tin on tn binch, where me erst-
while friend Jawn Richter is in
TIL habit of maxim Joodishal and
other decisions, a gintleman from
tn gas belt. He seems to be all
right and has tn proper avardu-
pois for SO weighty case-but I
felt sorry for the Joodge for he
seem'd to have a bad cold-and
| tho't he niver would git his
throat cleared, and was goin' to
offer him one OF my cough drops,
which l always carry wild me-
but was afraid to interrupt tn
proceedings"
Il ask'd man sittin' in tn mkt
seat what tn shtate of tn case
WERE" says he, TIL little fat law
yer wild TIL blond hair has chal-
Hinged tn array but" says 1,
Il didn't know there was an ilic-
ton on" remimbering tn time
whin Billy O'Brien's lodging
house array was challinged down
by the gas house Nav says
he, "challinging tn array in legal
parliance means that they object
to tn panel''-"My Gawd", says
Lare they thryin to work tn
panel game in this coort::' y Nav
says my frind, "You don't get
MKT" Il mean" says he, they
claim that that fat, good natured
clerk over there has put up a job
in Joory panel, and has put on
all Lin Darrow's frinds and
clients, you see," says he, !" It's
a shtruck joory-and tn claim is
that Fred McClung made a ten
shtrike in favor of Lin Darrow. "
But" says he, ''lishten there
comes a witness" and did and
it run aboot like this:
"Shtate your name to the
Coort.'
"Are you old enuff?"
"Why was you born"
"Where was you whin Main
shtreet was pav'd::"
DO you know Hudson Lake
