One Barend Vet of The Hague, had
recently the misfortune to call a con.

one of the local papers pointed out

which, moreover is a form of untruth
not permitted in Holland. Vet was ar

On a charge Of insulting the police"

ment. Before being removed he turned
to address the court. Then I mustn't
call constable monkey" he said.
Certainly not; you must not insult
the police" The culprit reflected,
MAY l call monkey a constable"
he asked, with a flash or genius. The
judge shrugged his houlders, and.
holding no brief for the animal, re.
piled: IF it gives you any satisfac.

Vet turned on his heel in the dock
and bowed to his prosecutor Good

awful dyspepsia.

was the cause of all this suffering.
