Told Out of Court
Tho Saturday Evening Post tells this ono
on Joo Choatc: "That reminds mo,"
laughed tho senator, "of a claim that I wn3
onco Interested In, nnd when It hnd dragged
along and flnnlly looked ns If It would fall
nnd tlnally did frill before tho comptroller,
I carried It to tho Hiiprcmo court nnd got
Joo Chonto to come down anil argue It for
mi!. Well, tho day that Choato mnde his
argument the comptroller, of course, was
present to represent, tho government, and
Choato was firing away In his usual brilliant
fashion and was making a strong, clear
showing nnd claiming everything under tho
sun for our side, when ono of the Justices
Interrupted him nnd naked:
" 'If this claim Is as clear as your nrgu
mont nnd your brief would show, why hns
It coino before this court?'
" 'Why, your honor,' replied Choato with
all the suavity of ninnrer of which ho la
possessed to an unusual degree, 'It has been
brought beforo this honorable body becauso'
and hero ho swept hla eye over the
comptroller 'a small-bended tack,' nnd he
measurod off on his linger an inllnltestmnlly
small space, 'got into tho wheels of govern
ment nnd clogged them, hence'
And tho senator finished with a hearty
laugh at tho recollection of that claim, and
wo laughed with him.
"Did tho court laugh?" nsked I.
"No, but there was a suspicious twitching
of faces and a restless movement among
them which betrayed that the point was not
lost upon them. Neither wns the ease lost,"
wound up the senator.
lu a case beforo u Paris court, In which a
popular nctiess hns had to nppear ns n wit
ness, tho Judge seems to have shown con
siderable! dlllldenco about asking tho woman,
as ho was In duty bound to do, what was
her nge. Evidently he considered that such
a question, put to such a witness, would bo
a direct Incitement to perjury.
Tho way in which hei got out of tho diffi
culty was Ingenious, although decidedly Ir
regular. Ho asked her her ago beforo sho
had been sworn.
"How old aro you, madam?" ha said.
After a llttlo hesitation tho woman owned
to being 29 yenrs of age.
"And now that you have told the court
your age," continued tho gallant Judge,
"you swear to tell tho truth, tho wholo
truth and nothing but tho truth?"
