COURTROOM COMEDY.
Little Passage Between the Lawyer
and the landlady.

NHA h'o GdNuidOJs
The woman was in the box, and
she was a very nice hammered, re-
spectacle woman, who kept a cheap
boarding house, and it was the de-
sire of one of her guests to be dis
honest that had brought her to the
court to make him pay his board
bill
"How old did you say you were,
MADAME" inquired the lawyer, with
no reason on earth, for an elderly
landlady is no more anxious to lose
a board bill than a young one.

The witness was patient, but her
temper was not improved under the
strain.
isn't that an extravagant price
to pay for board in your locality,
madam inquired the lawyer Sc
verely.
'He didn't pay it, sir" answered
the worm, beginning to turn.
The lawyer gave a little start of
surprise, then became indignant at
the very thought of witness talk
ing like that.
Don't be facetious, madam" he
SAID, assuming tone OF warning,
''This is a serious matter. | have
asked if your prices were not ex-
orbtant, and you have seen fit to
answer lightly, madam. Now,
madam, l ask you in all earnestness
if you mean to tell this court that
your prices are moderate and that if
| should come to your house to
board you would charge me 81 a
week? Answer directly, madam, >
