Why
Declared
"Not
Prisoner Was
iullty."
A Jacksonville broker, while travel
ing in the Alabama mountains, was in
vited hy a friend, a loeal judye, to at
tend the trial of a "cracker" for shoot
ing a darky, and, the prisoner having
no money to hire a lawyer, the judge
appointed the broker to defend him,
allowing that if the broker was not a
lawyer, "he was an idiot because he
wasn't one" a judgment amply sup
ported by his conduct of 1 lie cuse, Kays
the San Francisco Argonaut. The bro
ker cross-examined the witness briefly,
Bending in now and then a discomfiting
trajectory. When he came to make a
speech, he. said: "Gentlemen of the
jury, 1 have taken great pains to show
you that my client was a. respectable
citizen. Ten witnesses have asserted
on oath, mind you that he slands high
in his community." The defendant,
was six feet three inches tall and the
jury smiled, "lie stood high in his
community, and that is sufficient.
Now, for the law. We find in the thir
teenth verse of the sixteenth chapter
of 'Chi try on Headings' Chitty, gen
tlemen, was one of the bravest generals
in the confederate army this well-established
principle of lav." Here the
broker adjusts his glasses, holds the
book far off, elevates his chin and
reads: " 'Xo respectable white man
can be guilty of crime.' That, gentle
men, is enough. I leave the case in
your hands."
Each juror changed his quid, looked
at his neighbor, nodded and, without
leaving their seats, they rendered a
loud and emphatic verdict of "No
guilty," and then joined in three
cheers for the defendant and his law
yer.

Too Closely.
'The best joke I ever heard was on
me, ' said J. D. Buford to a Washington
Star reporter.
"I was in Wise county, Va., in the
heart of the mountains, in the south
western: part of the old dominion. I am
a Virginian, and in common with all
loyal Virginians, claim kinship to every
one of my name in the state. The land
lord saw my name on the register.
"'So jo' name's Buford?' he said.
" 'Yes.'
" 'Uster be sum Bufords hyar.'
'Well, they must have been rela
tions. Mjr family are all Virginians.'
" 'Yaas. Yo' do favor 'em. Beckon
yo' all air kin. Yo' look jess like Dave.'
" 'My father's name was Date.'
' 'Thar war three, Bob, John an'
Dave.'
" 'I have uncles by those names. They
are family names.'
" 'Yo' sho' air kin. I thought so.
minit I looked at yo'.'
" 'You say the Bufords moved away?'
"'Not zackly.'
'I thought you said they used to
live here?'
'Tbet's what I sed. Yo' see, John
an' Dave was Bob's sons. Th' ole man
was gwine ter marry agin, so th' boys
would n' git trf little propity th' ole
man had, an' they killed 'im, so we hung
John an' Dave.'
"I did not trace the relationship or
the family resemblance any farther."
CONSENT WAS UNEXPECTED.
Why n MMle Girl Wu Willing to
Have an Operation Perfoirnad
Her Bye.
There is one little girl in Washington
Mho recently gave hor parents nn exhi
bition of hr nntjire for which they
were totally unprepared. The child
was cross-eyed, and her affliction was
a source of extreme annoyance to her
self and family. An oculist was con
sulted, who advised an operation to
remedy the defect, mid so it, was de
cided to take the little one to a hos
pital in Baltimore. The utmost se
crecy was observed in the matter.
Miss Annie had once made a grcnt fuss
about having a tooth pulled, and, of
course, it was to be expected that she
would enter serious objections to an
operation on her eye, says the Wash
ington Post.
She was taken to Baltimore under
the impression that she was going on
n pleasure trip with her father and
mother. When they arrived at the
hospital the mother took her daughter
in her lap and nervously broached the
real object of the trip. She set forth
in all its triple horror the embarrass
ment whieli is the lot of the cross
eyed person, stating that the trouble
would increase as she grew older.
"Now, Annie," the said, finally, "we
have brought you over here to hare
your eyes straightened. It won't hurt
you at, all. Wouldn't you like to have
your eyes like other people's?"
"You just bet I would," exclaimed
Annie, to the astonishment of the oth
ers. "You can go ahead and do any
thing you want, and I don't care how
much it hurts. I'm just sick and tired
of having a pack of colored boys spit
into their hats and cross their fingers
every tinve they meet me."
The operation was performed forth
with, and the young lady has as good
a pair of eyes as anybody in Washing
ton. . ,
