SOBER ON FRIDAYS
INTERLUDE IN COURT 1 LITTLE old woman, together with her husband, investigated a scuffle in a right-of-way. and discovered a man leaving with a sack of their vegetables. Today she had to tell the Supreme Court about it, and when asked if the intruder were drunk, she replied:—“l could not tell, but my husband said he was.” Counsel persisted:—“And your husband would be a good judge. I suppose ?” “Oh. yes,” rejoined the witness unhesitatingly, “because he takes a drop hisself!” “Oh!” ejaculated counsel. “Yes.” went on witness quickly, “but he was sober that night—-he always is on Friday, because he has his work to do on the following day.”
