Charles H. Hudson was a lawyer of
remarkable keenness and ability and
well known also as a student of
Shakespeare, but he was not a strict
and offensive teetotaller at all hours
of the day, says a writer in the Boston
Herald.
One day he appeared before Judge
Ladd of the police court of Cambridge
in a case involving no difficult ques-
tions of law, but as Mr.. Hudson had
little confidence in the judges legal
requirements he criticised his rulings
very sharply, and in a manne easily
understood by all present.
The judge, with a judicial look of
sternness, raised himself from his
chair and said: MIR. Hudson, if you
do not speak more respectfully of the
decisions of this court l shall at once
commit you for contempt of court"
Hudson arose, with a great assump-
ton of dignity, and, raising his voice
and head, said: your honor says you
will commit me to Jail for contempt
of your court. I'll bet IS, and put the
money up, that your honor cannot

PASSING of philadelphia Elms.

Another of the old trees in indie
pendence square has succumbed to the
dry rot of age and been felled by the
woodlands axe. 1t is believed that it
was one Of the 100 trees planted by
George Morgan in the square in 1885.
All were elms, brought to this city
from New York state at the sugges-
ton of Samuel Vaughan, who took
an especial interest in the square.
The number of large trees in indie
pendence square has of late years
been much reduced by death, decay
and storm. The last signs of life in
the elm which has just been felled
were noted last summer. 1t was a
noble specimen of its kind, being about
three feet in diameter and between
sixty and seventy feet high. 1t will
require many years for the majority
of the trees in the square, among
which is the young elm planted by
Gen. Grant, to reach this size.-Phil-

fact remained that old Jake had made

conspicuous talent and charm and her

Smith had developed into ]. Arthur
