MORNING JOURNAL
PROVED Hi ft AN IMPOSTOK.
Judge's Clever Rune Uncovered Trie to
ery of Plaintiff.
Joseph Choate, the famous lawyer,
related at a dinner party at Lenox
some Interesting reminiscences of tbs
bar and bench.
"A Btrlking case," said Mr. Choata,
"transpired in the Ws. It was a case
of a workman who claimed to hare
lost the eight of his left eye In an ex
plosion "There was no doubt about the ex
plosion anil t&ore was no doubt that
the workman's eye had been Injured,
but the physicians claimed that he
could see out of It, while b stoutly
declared that the sight was utterly
destroyed.
"The Judge heard all the evidence,
pro and con. Then, sending the work
man from the court room, he said:
.' 'Get a blackboard and write a sen
tence on it with .green chalk. Also
get a pair of spectacles with ordinary
clear glass for the lft eye and red
glass for the right'
"This, in the eourse of an hour r
so, was done. Then the workman
was brought back and he was ordered
to put the queer glasses on.
"He put them on and the Judge sa!A
to him:
" 'Turn the blackboard round and
see if you csp read what Is written.'
"The man read the sentence without
hesitation, whereupon the Judge said
to him sternly:
'Your case Is dismissed. You ar
an Impostor. You inast have read that
sentence with your left eye, for the
red glass over the right one turned
the green writing black and made it
quite invisible on the blackboard.'"
BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTION.
President Buchanen Had Had All tn
Visiters He Wanted).
President Buchanan's home stlfli
stands fn the outskirts of Lancaster,
Pa. Buchanan was a close friend
of Abraham N. Cassel. He was presi
dent of the turnpike company which
owned a road leading frm Lancaster
past the Buchanan resl,.nce.
During the campaign vthich gave
Pennsylvania her only preslot this
turnpike prospered on the tolls of
the callers who dally thronged to the
candidate's home.
"Abe," said Buchanan one day,
"can't you abolish the tolls, or give
a special rate, for all these people!
I want to encourage them to como
want 'em all to come."
Mr. Cassel promised to consult his
directors, and a concession was
granted.
After election came the office seeto
ers, and the home of the president
elect was compassed about ike a h"f
leagured camp. Meeting him, Bu
chanan again entreated the road
owner;
"Casael," he said, "for heaven's
sake keep 'em away! Can't you build
toll gates clear up to the sky so they
can't climb over?" Saturday Evening

Couldn't Afford It
About a year ago Sewell Ford be
came a resident of Rye, N. Y. He had
lived there only a short time before
he discovered that one of his neigh
bors was Simeon Ford. The revela
tion was made over the telephone.
"Hello!" said a voice, "Is this Se
well Ford?"
The author of "Shorty" admitted
that it was.
"Well," -went on the voice, "this is
Simeon Ford. Sone one's sent ma
your meat bill."
"Good! Why don't you pay it?"
"I will If you'll pay mine," said
Simeon."
At last accounts the bargain bad
dot been concluded. Simeon runs a
hotel. Exchange.
Carelessness About Firearms.
A few days ago at Brockton, Mass.,
a 6-year-old child blew a man's head
off with a shotgun; at Bangor, Me
a small boy killed his infant sister
wi:h a load of snot, and similar occur
rences have recently been reported
from other places. Ninety-nine per
cent of gun accidents might have been
avoided by the exercise of a small
lymptom of common sense. The chit
drcn referred to in the dispatobe
lound the guns in their homes and tne
guns were loaded. To keep a loaded
gun in the bouse is next to crimlaai

Sugar In Diet
Bpeaking of the importance of
sugar in children's diet, Dr. Wood
Hutchinson says: "It is notunlikely
that the almost universal and dv
voutly to be thankful for lack of crav
tng for alcohol In children aud in
women Is "due largely to the sweet
tooth possessed by them and their in
dulgence in candy, cakes, fruit, lea
creams and sweetmeats generally." .
Noiseless Gun for Killing Horses.
A curious horse-killing gun used la
England to kill horses which have
been injured is now being adopted by
American anti-cruelty societies be
cause of its noiselessness and surety
of action. By a alight blow a bullet
is noiselessly driven Into the brain ot

"that poor men usually give larger
tips than rich men?" "Well, suh,"

find out he's po', and de rich man don't
want nobody to find out he's rich,"
