A Merry Christmas Hay I
Mr. Bancroft, the historian, does
not believe 111 befriending the ene
my. The correspondent of leading
New York newspaper, No. 1, call
ed at the residence in Washington
of the historian on Tuewta.v night,
to get in advance a copy of Mr.
Bancroft's letter to Whittier con
gratulating lilm on his HOtli birth
day. The historian being out at the
time, the correspondent left his
card, with the request that the cov
eted document might be sent down
to his office. When Mr. Bancroft
came in his private gecretary in
formed him of the correspondent's
call and presented the correspond
ent’s card. The historian Imiked
at the card and, rellecting fo' a mo
ment, Inquired of the private secre
tary which of the leading New York
pa|>ers it was that printed some dis
agreeable things about him the
other day. Tlte private secretary
replied that it was leading newspa
per No. 1. “Very well, then," said
the historian, “write out a copy of
this letter and deliver it to leading
New York uewspuper No. 2. It has
the best right to my favor. The
paper that treats me unfairly need
not expect any favon at my.hands."
And so newspaper No. ! was
’’scooped.”
“Men must work nml women weep.
Mo runs the world nwny”!
But they need not weep so much 1
if they use Dr. Fierce's “Favorite I

“I remember very well the first
case I hud to defend. My client
’had “tuck a hog." My futlier left
me to make my own beginning, and
to wrestle with justice ulone. I
said: “Jim, when you are called,
jilcad not guilty, and ask for trial
by Jury."
“Yes, sail,” said Jim.
When Jim was called he stood
up, and the clerk rend In his stereo
typed way the indictment, ending,
“contrary to the form and statute,
and asked: ‘<Wliereof are you
guilty or not guilty.”
“Hah?” said Jim.
“Read It over," said the Judge
ami over again it wns accordingly
read, nud t<> the same concluding
interrogation Jim again responded
“snh?"
"Sec here, you,” said the Judge
“lie is asking you If you took that
ling or not.”
And to my horror, Jim scratched
his head and, with a couliding smile
said: "Yes, sail, Jcdge, I tuck de
ling," and so ended my first lesson
I once hud n suit before a dlgni
lied country Justice for the price of
a horse which was sequestered
Die defendant wns a negro woman
who set up that the purchaser had
paid her the horse for work. This
being so, my client would, lose his
priviligcs us vender. She took the
stand amt swore out her case. The
matter was desperate. However, I
would try.
“Susan, when your uncle paid for
this horse did he put the bridle into
your hands?”
“Salt, he did.” .
"Did lie say: “My niece, I etcr
nally give you old Bill?”
“Item’s do very wortls, snh.”
“But, Susan, didn't your uucie
forget tilt'll to put a blue ribbon on
the hrfddle?"
“Indeed he didn’t, sail. I'sc got
dut ribbon now."
Much to Susan's surprise the
Justice brandished his stick and
made her “got out.”
Once during a trial Judge It-
looked suddenly up and said to the
Sheriff: “Mr. I) ■ , there are
thirteen men on that jury.”
Mr. I) , after counting with
Ills linger, corroborated the Judge.
The clerk was ordered to call the
Jury. He did so, and there were
lint twelve res|Minstm. Then the
Judge, Sherilfuml Clerk held aeon-
ference, the result of which was
tlint tlic Jurors stood up In answer
lo their names. Presently two in
dlvidimlsarosc together—one white,
the other u negro. The former had
ills summons as a Juror; the latter
had Iroeti sulqHi’iiaed as a witness.
"Come here,” said the Judge,
und show me your subpipiia.”
Sam advanced close up to his
honor and stuck out Ills tongue for
inspection! As soon as the laugh
subsided the Judge said, kindly:
“Sam, you need calomel and of
course can’t stay on the Jury.”
Sain was nonplussed at another
explosion from the audience.
On another occasion I was de
fending u negro for a serious offense.
The jury was compost’d entirely of
negroes. After the argument closed
the court adjourned for dinner. As
the Jury tiled into the court room
after dinner for instructions, look-
ingut the complexion of the twelve,
and in the presence of the sheriff
and clerk, I said Jocularly to a negro
man, a brother of the accused,
standing by: “There's a good crowd
for two bits apiece.”
Imagine my feeliugsjwiien he re
plied, quite innocently: “Oh, I dun
gin 'em a dollar 'round, 'cepting
that yaller rascal, lie wants five.”
When I took him aside and in
formed him of tlie possible conse
quences of his liberality, he has
tened to depart. The “yaller raa-
cal,” sure enough, showed hia re
sentment and hung the Jury; but
only for a while, the “dollar 'r ound'
told at last.
