TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE GARY
Youthful Lawyer Made Technical Err
ror In Billiard Contest With
Legal Veteran.

Judge Martin, as young lawyer and
on first arrival in Chicago, thought
himself fortunate In gaining an intro
duction to Judge Gary-the Gary who
tried the anarchists. The judge took
shine to the young chap and pro-
posed a game of billiards, wherein
Martin made a technical error that
he remembered for long. Gary played
an old mans game, and Martin then
as now, was particularly handy with
a cue.
Picture a contest of thirty-four
points with four balls on Az by 8
table. The Judge barely bending),
with a childish bridge and a nerve
less stroke, missed his first shot Mar
tin, in shirtsleeves, crouched over the
table like jockey plotting a winner,
and applied himself to rolling up a
run. He had counted fifteen or twen-
ty when he turned and saw the judge
disappearing through the door and
moving with rufiled dignity.

RESULT IS MUCH THE SAME
Slight Difference Between the Meth
DDS of the Ancient and tho
Modern Turtles.

A wicked turtle had for years been
troublesome to the inhabitants Of the
marsh In which he dwelt. He bit the
legs of frogs, ate fish with relish,
and occasionally grabbed hold of a
snake and held on until 1t Numbered.
Finally the animals held a court
and tried the turtle on the charge of
murder. The turtle was there, with
his harveyized shell In perfect repair
and covered with moss an inch thick.
He apparently enjoyed the delibera-
lions of the judicial body, and was
observed to smile at various times.
The judgment of the court was that
the turtle should be hanged by the
neck until he was dead. When this
decision was announced there was
great cheering, and the court officers
prepared to put the sentence into exc
cution at once. They prepared a
moose and approached the turtle.
That astute tortoise drew his head
back inside his shell and chuckled
merrily at the inability of the execu-
TONERS to carry out the sentence of
the court.
Moral-In these days turtles bride
grand juries or employ good attor-
neys.
