However, the boy was dubious. He been cheated before this by grown-up people. Finally he had a young friend to spend the day with him, and that night it was discovered that one of the images had disappeared. His mother, nearly frantic, rushed to him. "Harold," she said, "where is that pink image?" Harold frowned, as he answered defiantly: "I gave it to Richard, and if he’s alive to-morrow, I’m going to eat the other one myself." *A LITERAL SCHOLAR* A professor of the Cornell Law School tells the following story of a student in one of his freshmen classes: The members of the class had been answering questions in moot-court, and the subject under discussion was a cow which had been killed by a railway train. Each student was required to fill out a paper on the case. "This brilliant youth," says the professor, "wrote with all seriousness after ’Disposition of the Carcass’: ’Mild and gentle.’" *ESTABLISHED HIS IDENTITY* In a Kentucky court room, a prominent lawyer of that state was defending a prisoner charged with horse stealing, and a witness was swearing as to the identity of the stolen horse. "How do you know this is the same horse?" asked the lawyer. "Why, I just know it is," said the witness. "Well, how?" again asked the man of law. "I can’t tell exactly how; but I know it is as well as I know that you are General H----." "Well, how do you know that I am General H----?" "Because just before dinner I heard Mr. C---- say, ’General H----, let’s go and take a drink, and you went." *WAS REMARKED BEFORE* A certain good clergyman was once riding in a city street-car, and when passing a large and very handsome church a fellow-passenger turned to him and said: "If these Christians would stop building fine churches and give the money to the poor, it would be more to their credit." "I’ve heard that remark before," was the quiet rejoinder. "Indeed! and by whom, may I ask?" "Judas Iscariot!" was the crushing answer. *A NOVEL PULPIT* A Washington correspondent of a religious paper recently assigned to the Rev. Dr. S---- a rather novel pulpit. The Doctor had preached from the text, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against you." He must have been not a little surprised, if he saw the account of the sermon, to read in the words of the correspondent, "Dr. S---- then preached from the gates of hell." *CAUGHT IN HIS OWN NET* Mr. S---- was counsel in a will case for the contestants, who were endeavoring to show that the testator was of unsound mind. One of the dead man’s friends was being examined. "Did not the old man talk to himself when he was alone?" interrogated the lawyer. "I do not know," replied the witness. "What!" exclaimed the attorney, "you do not know, and yet you claim to be an intimate friend of his! How can you explain your ignorance of this fact?"
