In q suit in Maine court not long
ago there was adduced line of tes-
timOny that created some excitement.

few hours before the accident for
which defendant was supposed to be
responsible.

do with the rails?" asked the counsel.
fixing the wandering eye Of the wit
ness with his stern gaze.
Before the witness could answer.
the defendants counsel was ON his
feet. insisting that the question was
not allowable. A prolonged wrangle
ensued. Various high authorities for
and against the admission Of the Qves-
ton were consulted and quoted.
During all this time the witness
shifted from one leg to the other, and
gave vent to several prOdig1OuS
yawns. AS the controversy waged
hotter and hotter something ike .
smile was seen to pass across his
face.
At last the Judge ruled that the
question must be allowed and while
the defendants counsel. exhausted
with rage. leaned back in his chair
sxcitedly, the query was put once
more:
What did the defendant say he was
going to do with the rails?"
