Advice from the Bench Some years ago many farmers along the line the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway brought it against it and engaged a young lawyer named rown. Judge Gantt, who was presiding, was spelled to throw many of the cases out of irt because they were improperly brought, own was mad all over. Swelling with indigna- n, he arose and said: “Your Honor, will you ase tell me how it is possible in this court to justice against a railroad company?" Judge Gantt quietly ignored the contempt of urt shown by the lawyer and asked: “Do you sh an answer to that question, Mr. Brown?" “Yes, sir,”’ defiantly replied the indignant law- “yes, sir, and I want to know how a f his case into this court so that it will be card.” Judge Gantt smiled and said: “ Well, first, Mr. Brown, I'd advise the’ farmer to hire a lawyer.”” Brown wilted —Cleveland Leader. The Limit of Laziness Dr. Charles A. Eaton, of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, said in the course of a brilliant after-dinner speech in Cleveland: “Laziness is responsible for too much of the misery we see about us. It is all very well to blame alcohol for this misery, to blame oppression id injustice, but to what heights mi all have climbed but for our laziness? He paused and smiled “We are too much like the supernumerary in the drama,"’ he went on, “ who had to enter from the right and say, ‘My lord, the carriage waits.’ “*Look here, super,’ said the stage manager one night, ‘I want you to come on from the left instead of the right after this, and I want you to transpose your speech. Make it run hereafter, ‘The carriage waits, my lord.’ “The super pressed his hand to his brow. ““More study! More study!” he groaned."’— Cleveland Leader.
