HERBST, Graduate in Pharmacy ONE ON THE UWTfEU Milwaukee Cross-Examlnsr Became a Little Too Inqulsitlvs. Tbe lawyer who cracks Jokes at the expense of the witness often gets more than be gives. The following Incident la a divorce trial is told by a Milwaukee lawyer: The witness was an elderly lady and the lawyer was a confirmed bache lor. "How old are you?" asked the law yer. "I am an unmarried woman, sir, tnd I do not tbink It proper to an wer that question." , "Oh. yes; answer the question," aid tbe Judge. "Well, I am fifty." "Are you aot more?" persisted the lawyer. "Well. I am sixty." The Inquisitive lawyer then asked Her If sbe had any hopes of getting married, to which she replied: "Well, I haven't lost hope yet, but I wouldn't marry you, lor I am sick and tired of your palaver already. So you can consider yourself refused." WHEN. Madge When did I give Cholly iny encouragement? Marjorle When you said a girl was foolish In these days to marry brains when sbe could get money. A False Prohphet. Secretary Wilson of the Depart ment of Agriculture tells a story of a Connecticut farmhand's methods of weather prophecy. This farmhand believed be could foretell tbe wectber Infallibly," said Secretary Wilson. "On a walk with me one afternoon a frog croaked, and be said: "'We will have clear, weather for twenty-four hours. When a frog croaks In the afternoon you may be sure of twenty-four bours of sunshine.' W walked on, and la twenty minutes or so a leavy shower came up, and we were botb drenchtd to the skin. "'You are a One weather prophet. ' aid I, as we burrled homeward through tba downpour. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself.' "Ob, well,' said the farmhand, 'tbt frog lied. It's t blame, not me.

Spanish Capital a spendthrift Town and Devoted to Gossip. Tbe note of Madrid la frivolity. It la a spendthrift town. Nowhere do so many people of modest means keep carriages; or at least hire them The automobil has supplied a new outlet le an old passion. - Nowhere do. so many people who cannot afford to have a motor driver, or to buy regular supplies of petrol (which, to be sure, is both dear and bad in Spain), keep an automobile. Therefore they tun. out now and again for a short run at higb apeed to their own glorification and the dan ger of the public. Aa for that public. It lives In the streets and In a per ptrtual state or brisk talk. Wkat London or Paris news comes through to Madrid, except telegram., la mostly gossip. Important matters appear to interest the Madrileno Ut ile. What did interest him was wbea a young person appeared on horse back in Hyde. Park In a Dlrectolre costume. Feather headed and light heeled, the Maurlleno is, on tkt other band, good natured and easy to live with. . Madrid women dress well, even very well, and the charm of tbe Span ish woman la nevjr denied. Modern Madrid Is sometimes supposed to be modelled on modern Paris, but the writer's view Is that there Is nothing Parisian about Madrid, except the Paris works desperately hard. Is In tensely interested In serious things and producers, thinkers and men of intellectual and scientific, eminence Madrid certainly does not work hard does not appear to be much Interest ed In -nythlng but frivolity, and few of her greatest men, jven statesmen. are muco more man names.
