A well known little moth with pale
green mottled wings Is the only case
In which I have myself watched the
protection Afforded by color at work.
It was on q summers evening when I
saw this little moth zigsagging up and
down with the most extraordinarily ir-
regular tight and bird pursuing It.
Twice tho bird swooped and Just
missed his prey owing to q sudden
turn ana drop on the part Of the moth.
And then to my great delight the moth
Stopped against tho stem Of a tree on
which was growing a greenish gray
hchen. The bird swooped again close
to the tree, but failed to see the insect
and Quilted the chase. It took me an
appreciable time to detect the little
moth resting against the lichen and
closely matching It in color-Sir q.

An eastern paper recently printed one
of the neatest and most effective .retorts,
known in history. This was the reply or
Daniel Webster TO the judge who said
That is not the law, Mr.. Webster"
To which Webster replied, 1T was until
your honor spoke"
Some fairly clever retorts are ON local
record. One of these was made by Judge
John i. Redick, father Of the Judge OF
the name now sitting on the district bench
of Douglas county. 1t was after Judge
Redick had returned to the practice OF
law and was fighting a case against a
man, once a law student in his own office.
Judge Redick advanced a proposition as
being good law, and his erstwh1e pupil
professed surprise. d
Why" said he, Il am astonished that
Judge Rediok should advance so prepostcr-
Gus an argument. Why, / learned better
than this In Judge Redick's own office
twenty years ago."
That is the trouble with you re-
turned Judge Redick, you haven't learned
anything since"
One of the most eminent attorneys Of
Omaha was engaged in the case. On the
other side of the table sat James w. Orr,
now one Of the leading lawyers Of Kansas
There had been a little brush between the
two and the first man rose and said with
heavy sarcasm:
20 course, 1 know that l do not equal
my young friend, either in learning ~
in talent" ~
Everyone else knows that, too, geheral,f
retorted Mr.. Orr.
