Stories OF the Paris Courts.

Stories OF the Paris Courts.
Among humorous stories Of the Par
- Law courts It ~ told how 4 well
known lawyer NJ Alem Rousseau,
was once pleading d rather tiresome
case and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, "As
the president is falling asleep / sus-
pend my speech" But the Judge had
just woke up and cried. And / sus-
pend you from practicing for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, suspend myself
forever and ever" and, gathering up
his brief and cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and, dealing ire
mendous blow on the desk In front OF
him that woke everybody up with
start. he cried, Yesterday at this same
hour was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other II they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was pleading ut
Versailles. on cold day and remarked
that the judges were all turning more
and more around toward stove that
gave, out u welcome heat. "The tribu-
mi behind which have the honor of
speaking brought them all right about

Reports of the various standing
committees show that the association
is in better condition at the present
time than it has ever been in its en-
tire history. Extracts from the re-
port read befoEe the convention by
Secretary l.. c. Deets, shows that on
Jan. /, 1910, there were 35,405 mem.
bers in the association and that on
Jan. I, 1911, there were 40,566 men,
bers. The gain is the largest in the
history of the association.
The association joined with others
over the country and passed reso-
luton askinc that the day for voting
at primary and general elections be
changed from Tuesday to Monday.
This is asked for the reason that
more travelling men. they believe,
would be able to vote IL the election
was held on Monday.
Joy rides were given a black eye
by President ]. w. Hill in his annual
address to the association. These, he
declared. were responsible for large
part of the accident claims paid by
the company and he warned the mem
bers of the association not to indulge
in the forbidden sport.
Resolutions were also passed by
the convention condemning the pass
age of the proposed parcels post law.
The enactment OF such law will,
they believe. virtually force them out
of their Jobs.
1t also is probable that the associa-
ton will take the question of the al
legged excessive charges made by rail
road companies for the transportation
of excess baggage before the inter
state commerce commission.
