Everyday Law Cases
When May Deposition OF Witness
Be Taken?
BIZ THE COUNSELLOR.

The testimony of James Harris was OF
Importance In the case of Clark versus
Nelson, but, as he lived out of the
State, he was beyond the jurisdiction Of
the court. Clark accordingly petitioned
20 be allowed to take his testimony by
deposition.
When the case came to trial and
Clark asked leave TO file Harris depo-
sttion, Nelson objected, declaring that
after Harris had made his deposition he
had moved into the State.
The court thereupon rejected the
deposition, stating
The mode of taking testimony by
deposition is extraordinary and in dero-
CATION of the right of a party to have
Q witness against him produced and
submitted to the view of the jury, In
order that they may observe his look
and manner, his willingness 10 testify
his feeling for either party and the de-
gree Of his intelligence. The cases are
not infreuuent when the statements OF
q witness read from deposition would
be received with entire credit, but II
made before the jury In person would
receive no credit whatever.
Dispositions, therefore, are usually
authorized only where the witness Is a
nonresident or is sick or infirfn and
in some States, where he will be absent
from the State when the case comes tc
trial"

BEDTIME STORIES

else. Creeping along through the Green
| Forest, soft-footed, fierce-eyed, was
| Yowler the Bobcat Every now and
again he lifted his head to test the air,
and each time he showed his teeth for
moment in a grin of satisfaction. for
each time he had caught the scent OF
Young Deer. AS he drew near to the
little opening ahead of him he crouched
and at times fairly dragged himself
along the ground. His stub of o tail
twitched with excitement. He licked
his lips. Then he would creep forward
few steps.
Presently Yowler reached the shelter
of an old log on the very edge of the
little opening where Mrs. Lightfoot and
the twins were feeding, They were on
the farther side of the opening, but
they were feeding toward where Yowler
was hiding. With his feet drawn under
him, ready to jump, Yowler fiattened
himself as much as possible close to
that log. The bushes hung partly over
him and he was in the shadow.
Hes after those young Deer
thought King Eagle as he watched.
He's after those young Deer, and 1t
looks to me as If he would get one this
time. wanted one of them myself,
but 1t is too late now. Somehow,
don't like to see that fellow get one.
never did like him, anyway. There's
one thing about it-he has patience.
If Mrs. Lightfoot would feed the other
way, those youngsters might have some
chance. But they will go where she
goes, and she is going in the wrong
direction. I wonder what I can do
about it,
Every now and again Mrs. Lightfoot
lifted her head to look. listen and test
the air. She was on her guard. But
even the most watchful mother al the
Green Forest cannot always detect
danger. Mrs. Lightfoot was making
one mistake which she should have
known better than to make. She was
feeding down wind. Probably she
thought it wouldn't matter in such a
little place as that opening, but 1t was
a mistake. She should have known
better. In feeding down the wind she
couldn't possibly smell anything in that
direction. 1t is one of the rules Of the
Deer tribe to feed up the wind. Then,
if there is an enemy ahead Of them,
the wind brings them the scent.
Nearer and nearer to that old log,
behind which lay Yowler the Bobcat,
Mrs. Lightfoot and the twins moved
And the nearer they got to 1t the more
King Eagle disliked that other hunter.
