A young married man met friend OF
his bachelor days and insisted on his
coming home with him to lunch. His
wife was unprepared for visitors and,
calling him aside, told him she had
only one dozen oysters, and that
when his friend had eaten his quota
of four he must not be asked to take
any more. In spite of his promise to
remember, when the guest had eaten
his four the host pressed him to take
more The wife looked distressed and
the friend declined. The husband in
sisted, the wife looked in agony, and
the guest firmly refused to have the
rest of the oysters brought from the
kitchen.
Later the wife said to her husband:
How could you urge him to have
more oysters when had explained to
you that there weren't any more?"
I'm very sorTy," said the penitent
husband, "but forgot all about it.
Forgot about it What do you sup
pose was kicking you under thetable
for?" retorted his wife.
But you didn't kick me- said the
husband.

face as he remarked.

Motion to Quash the New
Indictments Was Over
ruled.

The motion to quash the new in
dictments against James D. Linn and
Less G. Race.was oyerruled this morn
ing By Judge Raymond OF the Circuit
Court. This motion was argued last
evening before the court. Attorneys
James A. Meredith and w S. Meredith
representing the defendants and Pros
ecuting Attorney Haggerty for the
state being assisted by Tusca Morris.
The motion to quash was OH the
ground that the Joining OF the words
embezzclment, misapplied, abstrac-
tion and misplaced, In the indictment
was an error. The Judge went to con-
siderable length in explaining the rea-
sons for his decision and cited num-
ber Of statues and precedents where.
by the spirit and meaning Of the law
should govern rather than to follow
the letter which in this instance would
be an absurdity. Z.
The prosecuting attorney filed the
bill of particulars in the cases against
Linn and Race this afternoon at 2:30
O'Clock. The defense was allowed the
privilege of examining these. until to-
morrow morning when 1t is likely that
the defense will ask to have the case
continued. Should their motion to
continue be overruIed the case may
be tried at once:
S.W. Shrader. who was indicted in
connection with Howard w. Showalter
appeared in court yesterday evening
and the motion OF his attorneys to
quash the indictment against him be-
ing overruled, gave bond in the sum
OF 81 900, and the date of his trial was
fixed for April ).
