and courtesy in his examination, he
received nothing but sharp and unsat-

in court. a meek and humble specimen
Of the henpecked spouse. Finally the
lawyer put another very civil ques-
'tion. to which the woman replied with
vlndictive fire flashing from her eyes
Mr.. Lawyer, you can't catch me,
and you needn't think you cani no.
