The Ri Passion.—The taxicab driver was about to receive his sen- tence. “*Prisoner,’’ said the judge, ‘I am satisfied there is no reasonable doubt of your guilt. The evidence shows that you drove the deceased about the city in your taxicab for two hours, then took him to a secluded place and strangled him and stole his watch. Have you anything to say before sen- tence is pronounced?” “Yes, your honor.’” “What is it?” “I'd like to know, your honor, who is going to pay the cab hire?”’— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rank Stuff.—‘‘Ma wants two pounds of butter exactly like what you sent us last. If it ain’t exactly like that, she won’t take it,’’ said the small boy. The grocer turned to his numerous customers and remarked blandly, “Some people in my business don’t like particular customers, but I do. It’s my delight to serve them and get them what they want. 1 will attend to you in a moment, little boy.’” “*Be sure and get the same kind,’’ said the small boy, while the storeful of customers listened to him. ‘tA lot of pa’s relations are visiting our house, and ma doesn’t want ’em to come again.’’—Newark Star. Answered at Last.—A Swede was being examined in a case in a Minne- sota town where the defendant was accused of breaking a plate-glass window with a large stone. He was pressed to tell how big the stone was, but he could not explain. ‘*Was it as big as my fist?’’ asked the nervous judge, who had taken over the examination from the law- yers, in the hope of getting some results. “It ban bigger,” the Swede replied. “‘Was it as big as my two fists?” “It ban bigger.” Was it as big as my head?” It ban about as long, but not so thick,’’ replied the Swede, amid the laughter of the court. — Saturday Evening Post. Applied to Both.—At a mass meet- ing in a small country town a large quantity of refreshments were dis- tributed to keep the audience in good humor. The first speaker rose after the noise had ceased to some extent and began his speech by saying, “The old hall is full to-night,’’ but here his voice was drowned by the confusion. When it had subsided, he began again by saying, “The old hall is full to-night.’” He paused for rhetorical effect, and a thick voice in the back of the hall slowly and deliberately, So is old Bill Horn.”’ The meeting then broke up.—Kan- sas City Star.
