Judge X. N. Sleeves, of Williams, was called upon by lady few months ago who said he had been rec. commended to her by mutual friend who had told her he was a most com petent lawyer. Diffidently admitting the impeachment, the judge asked her what he could do for her.
 "I want to see about my divorce" she said e
 "On what grounds do you expect to base your suit?" he asked.
 "Oh," she said, "I got my divorce several months ago. What want is a lawyer who will get my alimony away from the lawyer who got my di- vorce."
 c. B. Wilson occasionally spares enough time from one of his cases to spin a yarn or relate an experience. He says that the funniest thing he ever heard in court-back in Illinois, if we remember correctly--was perpe- trated by lady who had testified in lawsuit and who created something of sensation after she had resumed Itt1 Stdt lIi tI1C DOuN Oi ItlC NOuIt fOOui by rising and asking the judge if she might correct an error in her testi- mony.
 Being granted permission, she stated that, at the time she was ask ed what her age was, she was so fiustered that she gave her bust measurement by mistake.
 Mr. Wilson recalls case of young lawyer who was getting senti- mental with the jury during his plea. It was his maiden address.
 "Gentlemen of the jury" he said, "I can conclude my plea as to the merits of this case in no better way than to quote the lines of the famous poet, Mr.-Mr.-well, gentlemen, just for the moment I have forgotten the poets name, but no matter; anyhow, he says--um-why-( (sotto voce) I'll be derned if haven't forgotten what he said"
 Pauline--In order that the william who caught and kissed you in the dark may be caught, we must set our police dog, Nero, after him. So, to trace the scent, you must kiss Nero.
 Judge F. w. Perkins recalls that discipline was not so Strict in court during the earlier days as now and tells this story in point:
 Frequently there was an amusing ly sociable atmosphere found among judge, jury, lawyers and clients. A lawyer in the county court having ex- hausted his eloquence in behalf of his client on trial for stealing, worked up to this climax:
 "'Gentlemen of the jury, after what this man has offered in evidence and what I have stated to you, is this man guilty? Can he be guilty? Is he guilty?'
 "The foreman, with smile and in genial tone, replied:
 "'You just wait while, ole hoss, 'n' we'll tell you" I. B. Koch, vice-president and man. ager of the Arizona Lumber < Tim Der Company, says that an Irishman and Jew were discussing the great men who had belonged to each race duus dS uilkIL DC CNpCCtcu, SOt islIO O heated argument. Finally the Irish man said:
 "Ikey, listen. For livery great Jew ye can name ye may pull out one of me whiskers, an for ivery great Irish man can name I'll pull one of yours. Is it a go?"
 Ikey consented, and Pat reached over, got hold of whisker and said, Robert Emmet," and pulled. Moses" said the Jew, and pulled one of Pats tenderest. "Dan O'Connell," said Pat, and pull ed another. B5s Abraham" said Ikey, helping him self again.
 Patrick Henry" returned Pat, with vicious yank.
 "The twelve apostles" said the Jew, taking handful of whiskers. Pat emitted roar of pain, grasp ed the Jews beard and yelled, "The Ancient Order of Hibernians!"
