The members of the high school un

society, with weekly meetings every

of attending the meeting hist week and
found the exercises of a most, interest

consisting of sinking, a debate well
contested, recitations, dialogue, a ques

improving and instructive tendency,
and rendered in a manner highly credit
able to the young people who took part,
and conducted in the roost orderly and
yet enthusiastic manner, which gave a

capable of furnishing a pleasing
entertainment for others to enjoy, but
were tully capable of enjoying the work

CHECKING THE WITNESS,
Testimony of a Careful Old Mau to A
Shrewd Voting: Attorney,
the young lawyer was determined
that if vigilance could accomplish any
thing tho case should ho decided in fa
vor of his client, and so when the care
ful old man went upon the stand for tho
defense the attorney leaned forward,
prepared to fight every iwh of the way*
"Mr. Johnson, the plaintiff," said
the careful oJd man, "said that if I
would buy the house he would get Mrk
Gimpson to relinquish 4is lease. Ho
said he thought Mr. Gimpson would
agree to go. I gues-.s"'—
"Never mind what you guess. Wo
don't want any hearsay or guessing!
Your honor [to the court], I object to
this witness' testimony. He is guessing
at what he says. We want facta."
"Excuse me," said the old man. "I
Was about to say I guess at nothing and
insisted on the understanding being es
tablished in my preseuce. So the two
£nen g«t together, with tne oil hand, to
listen to what they said. I under
stand"—
"Objected to as incompetent. Your
honor, we don't want to know what
this man understands was done. Wo
want what he knows was done. Wo
want"—
"One monifnt," said the careful old
tnan. "I was about to say that I under
stand ordinary conversation with soma
difficulty, and so that there might be
lio error I insisted that they yell out
fheir propositions in loud tones, which
they did until you could hear them in
the middle of the town. I om inform
ed"—
"Your honor," cried the young attor
ney, "is our time to be taken up listen
ing to hearsay evidence? Ho does net
know. Ho was informed that such and
such was so and so. What we must,
have is what he knows about the trade
and whether or not he"—
"I am informed on real estate valuijK,
having been a real estate agent all iuy
life," the old man said, "and I know*
what the worth of that lease was to tho
holder of it. Knowing the facts, would
fix his damages at $78.32. I believe"—
"Objected to as a conclusion and rw
incompetent. What any man believes ia
not necessarily good proof. I don't want
to know what you believe, but whtif.
yon know. We must insist on your tell
ing what you know and not. what you
Burmise or what you conjecture or what
you think or what you imagine. A
courtroom is not a place for exploiting
what a man believes, but what he is
sure of. I think the court will support
mo in saying that we don't wunt to
know what this man believes." And
the young lawyer looked confidently as
the justice.

ness, "that I believe that is all."—Chi

Eastern tourists who cannot differen

and an eastern coachman meet with
many a rude shock in the wild and

There is an old driver at Mouterey
who is determined that his patrons shall
make no mistake concerning his exact
status, and in a quiet way he cheeks all
attempts to make a servant of him. A
nhort time ago he was driving a party
of tourists about, when one querulous old
lady who had annoyed him not a little
by her air of superiority asked:
"My man, do you know the name cf
that wild flower?"
"Yep, he replied and flicked ono of
his leaders with his whip.
She paus 'd a moment for him to give
the name, but he merely cluckod to tho
wheelers.
"Driver, do you know (.ho camo of
that flower?" she repeated in un imperi
ous tone.
Yep. Git up there. Bally!"
Again fihe waited and again demand
ed:
"Man, don't you know the name of
that flower?"
"Yep. G'long there, Pete!"
"Then why don't you tell me?"
"Oh, you want to know, too, do you?
That's a wild rose."—San Francisco
