Told Out of Court
One day Judge Marshall, engrossed In his
rellectlons, wns driving over tho wretched
Kinds of North Cnrollnn, relates tho World's
Work, on his wny to Itnlolgh In a stick
gig. Ills horse turned out of tho road, and
thu sulky ran over a sapling nnd wns tilted
so as to arouse tho Judge. Whon ho found
that ho could movo neither to right nor loft,
nu old negro, who had como nlong, solved
tho difficulty.
' My old mnrster," he osked, "what for
yen don't back your horso?"
"That's true," snld tho Judge, and ho
acted ns advised. Thnnklng his deliverer
heartily, he felt In his pocket for some
change, but ho did not hnvo any.
"Nover mind, old mnn." ho said. "I shall
stop at tho tavern nnd leave some money
f()r y))U wUh tho landlord."
Tho old negro was not Impressed with tho
Btrnngor, but ho cnlled at tho tavern and
nsked tho keeper If an old gentleman had
left anything there for him
"Oh, yes," snld tho landlord, "he left a
silver dollnr for you. What do you think
of that old gcntlemnn?"
Tho negro gnzed at tho dollar and Bald:
"Ho wns a gorn'mnn, for sho.' but"--
patting his forehead "ho didn't have much
In here."
Justice Ilrower Is happy, reports the Chi
cago Record. Ho has a new story. He
looks llko nn Athenian sage. Wisdom and
Justice radlnto from his classic llnenments.
Insldo ho hns a fountnln of fun nnd ho Is
nover so happy as when ho gets n Joke 011
his eollcngues of the supremo court. This
tlmo he has them nil nnd Is making tho
best of It.
When ono of tho Justices of the supreme
court goes on tho circuit It Is customnry
for tho mnrshnl of tho district In which ho
Is sitting to pny his travollng cxponsos
and hotel bills nnd to furnish him with n
carrlago whenover ho needs ono. This prac-
tlco dntes back Indefinitely nnd thoroforo n
cortaln distinguished member of tho court
wnB surprised the othor day to recolvo a
bill of $.'.2 for livery hire nt a certain plnco
whero ho had recently been sitting on tno
court of nppenls. Ho rorwarued tno Din
to tho United States marshal (a now np-
polntment) for that district, who explnlned
that tho comptroller of tho trensury had
refused to nllow It on tho ground that there
wns no appropriation to pny carrlngo hire
for Justices, As no objection hnd over been
mndo before, an Inquiry wns Instituted,
which resulted In tho painful discovery that
tho United States marshals throughout the
country hnd for years been paying the
traveling expenses of tho honornblo Justices
of tho supremo court out of tho funds pro-
vlded by congress "for tho transportation

Tho story of a feo told by one young
lawyer of Milwaukee Is 0110 of tho kind
whero n lawyer docs not llko to havo his
nnmo mentioned, but It probnbly wnsn t his
fault. A visitor was In the bncholor b den
cf tho young lawyor, whon ho noticed an on-
grnved spoon hanging by a ribbon among
Bomo photographs, as though It might bo n
relic of 801110 sentlmcntnl collegian's lovo
affair.
"That Bpoon Is ft feo for clearing a client
ono tlmo," said tho ownor of the deoorntlon.
"I had that given to mo nfter I defended old

"When I wns practicing up north," said
JikIko W. II. Hnlsoy, to n MIlwaUKeo

pockets came two big rosy-checked apples,
That butter, apples and nuts fee was as
satisfactory to mo as any I ever received."
"For ten years 1 have never paid to have
an umbrella mended," said one lawyer.
"The rich landlord of tho story book stylo
wanted tho storo tho old crippled umbrella
man was using for a shop, nnd started to
force tho old fellow out. I fixed him so
nice that ho was allowed to stay, and over
slnco that I havo tnken my ruin shields
to him for free mending. That was all tho
fee I received for that case, too."
"I had tho secrets of my own lodgo offered
me as payment for a service," said ono at
torney who belongs to several secret orders.
"I wns sitting In my nlllce one day when n
well-dresfcd woman came In and wanted
advice. Her husband, to whom she was
nut recently married, was a
member of a
secret society.
" 'I think It's perfectly horrid of him, too,'
she said, 'to havo secrets nnd not to tell
them to me. When he married me ho said
ho would share everything with me, nnd
the first thing I ask, almost, he won't do.
Can't you mako him?'
"I asked her to what lodge ho belonged

"I didn't nccept Hint fee."
Short Stories Well Told
Adlal E. Stevenson, whoso sense of humor
Is keen, says that at a town In southern
Illinois, where ho was spunking during the
campaign, when ho begnn to talk he dis
covered that n bevy of young women In high
spirits hnd seated themselves Just In front
of him. Mr. Stevenson endeavored to get
the attention of his nudlenco nnd to Impress
tho dangers of Imperialism, militarism and
so on, but tho girls giggled nnd carried ou
as If the foundations of the republic wero
not being sapped. Mr. Stevenson lnbored
and was beginning to wonder whnt ho would
do, when a local leader of tho party who
was sitting on tho platform arose, stepped
forward and said nppcnllngly:
"Qnls, won't you keep still and give tho
old man a chnnco?"
Mr. Stovenson says ho turned to tho local
loader ln his most grntoful manner and
snld:
"I thank you, sir."
Much of tho excellence of "Private" John
Allen's stories Is lost when they are
parnded In cold print, relates tho Washing
ton Post: They lose his unctuous humor,
his graphic style, his fnclal expression, his
droll tone. Ho Is especially clever in negro
dinlect stories, one of which ho told tho
other night when ho had nssembled his
friends for the hog and hominy fenst. It
was a conversation between two darkles on
his plantation.
"Mose," said ono of tho negroes to tho
other, "do you know them niggers down on
Cntllsh P'lnt?"
Cattish Point, Mr. Alln explains, Is a
bend In the river.
"Sure," says Mose.
"Do ou 'member the gal I was paying
my civilities to?"
"Sufnly."
"Dey has been tcllln' dnt gal that I am
tho sncnklngcst, onernrlest nigger thnt ever
camo down to tho P'lnt."
"U'm," says Mose.
"And they tells her, too. that I am the
laziest, trllllngcst ulgger that ever wns."
