A well-known professional gentleman said concerning the General Assembly "investigation" and its hang-fire developments that it reminded him of a notion made by a Connecticut legislator on the famous "dark day." The member rose in his seat and with quivering voice exclaimed : " Mr. Speaker, I move who's afraid." A cuiuoua excuse was made by a cabdriver in Paris for not running over a foot passenger. The horse was just about to knock down a lady, when the cabby by a superhuman effort reined in the animal, checking it so sharply that it reared upon its haunches. " Bravo, coachee, nobly done!" exclaimed a spectator. "I wouldn't have run over her for the world," replied the coaohman, "She would have been my thirteenth this month, and thirteen is always an unlucky number," Yes !It is certainly true.
