JOSEPHINE WAS SUFFERING

Expert Testimony in Assault and Battery Case Mingled
With That of Other Witnesses, Fails to

Had the defendant been charged with
numbering some dear friend of the fam

ing lawyer been receiving a fee of $3.50, %
600 instead of the nominal sum of $40;
had the courtroom been crowded 10

en-. instead OF the usual attendance Of
individuals. the case Of Sarah Jenkins,
colored. charged with making an as
sault upon Josephine Outlaw, also col
ored, would have furnished material
for one of the most sensational cases in
criminal history. The defendant was
dressed after the style of a certain star
witness in a New York case whose pic
ture has been printed in the newspa-
pers some thousand times. the star wit
ness for the Government charged the
defending lawyer with being a most
corrupt and corruptible man. and lastly
"A physician called in by the defense to
testify coined a new expression, De
mentia Afrlcana."
The much-abused Josephine was the
first to testify.

she took the stand

Short Stories.

1.-THE story of the lady and tht
frog" began James T. Powers OF the
Blue Moon company, ''is warning u
men who have the seeing things
habit.
"A certain aristocratic lady got pos.
sessed of the delusion that she had
swallowed a frog. Her physician, a
reputable but prosaic man. pooh
phoohed her trouble, and she grew
steadily worse. Indeed, at the end OF
q month it looked as if the poor, de-
luded woman was going to die.
'In this crisis an eminent specialist
was called in. Having been forewarn-
ed, the specialist came prepared. He
had in his pocket a tiny frog that ne
had bought at pet stock dealers.
"The specialist examined the patlen!
carefully. He listened with sympathy
to her tale Of the frog hopping about
in her interior. At the end he said:
Madam, I am convinced that you
are right. There is every indication Of
the presence within you of some
reptile of considerable size. Please
swallow this bolus.'
"He prepared a bolus for the lady
and at the same time got ready a glass
bowl. She swallowed the huge dose
which made her cough and cough till
the tears blinded her eyes, and the
physician, bending over her, gave a
loud cry as her paroxysm was at its
height, and at the same time pumped
the frog into the bowl and exclaimed:
" There! I told you! Look at that!
The lady opened her eyes, beheld
the frog in the bowl, and smiled with
relief and gratitude. Then, all Of a
sudden, she turned paler than ever,
and cried in a voice of anguish:
oh. doctor, am not cured. The
frog has left a little one behind
But this wise specialist was not to
be stumped. He put on his glasses,
looked at the frog in the bowl careful
ly, then he said in stern and positive
tone:
i" No, madam; that is an impossible
ity, for this frog is male"
