In her eyes the smils Of June.
On her lips some old sweet tune.
Through yon ragged rows Of box.

Satin slippers trim and neat.
Cleaned upon her slender feet.
Round her ankles, deftiy tied.
Ribbons crossed from side to side.
Here her pinks. old fashioned. fair.

Shook the poppy's petals down.

suit in progress before him.
The case had proceeded to point
where the lawyer for the plaintiff had
asked new witness on thu eSS,nd:
"Dr You know anything a::,it the
relations between Mrs. Won Doe and this
Mr.. Rowe"
Whcreupon tho attorney for the de-
frndant leaped To his feet In paroxysm
Of excitement and insisted that tho
question should not he answered. He
pounded tho table with his open palm
and acted as If he might do something
desperate If the court allowed the wit
ness To answer.
The other lawyer was almost equally
inSistent that the answer should he
brought out.
So each attorney grouped large stocks
OF law books about him and began 10
pelt the court with citations.
For nearly four hours they argued
back and forth, digging up one techni-
oalty after another To show why that
witness should or should not answer.
AZ the end Of the afternoon Garrison
said he would take the question under
Amusement and let them know In the
morning But when court opened the
next day the lawyers had brought in
some more welghty authorities and the
arguments continued for another hour.
At the end of that time Garrison decided
IN favor of the plaintiff, holding that the
witness should be permitted to tell
what he knew.
The attorney for tho plaintiff repeated
his question:
DO you know anything a. all about
the relations between Mrs. Won Doe and
