There Is really no reason why he

and rarely denied a wish, he blossoms
like a wild rose on the sunny side of
the hedges, so sweet and so unre
strained.
His life is full of rich and varied In
terests. From his second day on

Question Of Degree.
On a writ of error to the supreme
court of one of the territories, counsel
for plaintiff In error sharply criticised
the rulings of the trial Judge. When
the oouneel for the defendant In error
began bla reply, the following took
place:
“May It please your honors, before 1
finish my argument, I think I can show
you that the trial Judge was not as
crazy as counsel on the other side
would make him out to be."
By a member of the court: "Let ms
understand you; you admit the fact ol
insanity of the trial Judge, but deny
Its degree?”—Case and Comment
Gentle, but Pointed.
A young practitioner had one trou
| blesome patient—an old woman who
was practically on the free list, but
who registered more kicks than all
the other patients put together. One
day she called to roest him for not
showing up when she called him the
night before. “You can go to see your
other patients at night,” she com
plained, “so why can’t you come whet
I Bend for you? ? Ain’t my money ae
good as the money that them rid
people pay you?” "I don’t know
ma’am,” answered the doctor, gently
“1 have ne»er seen any of youra.”
