An Unpolished Reflection.

John Philpot Curran, the eminent
Irish barrister and orator, once met
his match in a pert, jolly, keen eyed
Paddy, who acted as hostler at large
stable and who was up as witness
in case of a horse buying dispute.
Curran much desired to break
down the credulity of this witness and
thought to do it by making the man
contradict himself by tangling him up
in a network of adroitly framed ques-
tions, but all to no avail. The host
ler was a companion to Sam Weller.
His good common sense and his equa-
nimity and good nature were not to be
overturned.
By and by, Curran, in towering
wrath, belched forth, as not another
counsel would have dared to do in
the presence of the court:
.".Sirrah, you are incorrigible. The
truth is not to be got from you, for
it is not in you. I see the villain in
your face"
"I' faith, yer honor" said the wit
ness, with the utmost simplicity and
truth and honesty, "my face must be
moighty clane and shinin' indade If

FOOD CROPS ARE SHORT
Situation in Austria Even Worse
Than in Germany.

London, Oct. 14.-The Press Asso-

fishes an economic review of the con-
ditions of the Central Powers, in the
course of which It says that as re-
suit of a special Investigation or
dered by the German chancellor of
the 1917 harvest, it is estimated that
the yield will be 40 per cent lower
than in normal years for wheat, and
As per cent lower for i've, oats, and
barley. The total harvest Of wheat
ana rye amounts of 100000 tons,
compared to 100000 tons in
1913. The shortage will be partly
compensated from the Rumanian
granaries.
The reviewer considers that the
food situation in Germany during the
coming winter, will depend mainly on
the results of the potato harvest.
The situation in Austria-Hungary
it is declared, is worse than in Ger
many.
