erly, and to decide impartially.--_Socrates_.
JUDGMENT
HUSBAND--"But you must admit that men have better judgment than women."
WIFE--"Oh, yes--you married me, and I you."--_Life_.
JURY
In the south of Ireland a judge heard his usher of the court say,
"Gentlemen of the jury, take your proper places," and was convulsed with
laughter at seeing seven of them walk into the dock.
There was recently haled into an Alabama court a little Irishman to whom
the thing was a new experience. He was, however, unabashed, and wore an
air of a man determined not to "get the worst of it."
"Prisoner at the bar," called out the clerk, "do you wish to challenge
any of the jury?"
The Celt looked the men in the box over very carefully.
"Well, I tell ye," he finally replied, "Oi'm not exactly in trainin',
but Oi think Oi could pull off a round or two with thot fat old boy in
th' corner."
JUSTICE
There are two sides to every question-the wrong side and our side.
"What, Tommy, in the jam again, and you whipped for it only an hour
ago!"
"Yes'm, but I heard you tell Auntie that you thought you whipped me too
hard, so I thought I'd just even up."
One man's word is no man's word,
Justice is that both be heard.
He who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decide
justly cannot be considered just.--_Seneca_.
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
A woman left her baby in its carriage at the door of a department-store.
A policeman found it there, apparently abandoned, and wheeled it to the
station. As he passed down the street a gamin yelled: "What's the kid
done?"
KENTUCKY
Kentucky is the state where they have poor feud laws.
KINDNESS
Kindness goes a long ways lots o' times when it ought t' stay at
home.--_Abe Martin_.
An old couple came in from the country, with a big basket of lunch, to
see the circus. The lunch was heavy. The old wife was carrying it. As
they crossed a street, the husband held out his hand and said, "Gimme
that basket, Hannah."
The poor old woman surrendered the basket with a grateful look.
"That's real kind o' ye, Joshua," she quavered.
"Kind!" grunted the old man. "I wuz afeared ye'd git lost."
A fat woman entered a crowded street car and seizing a strap, stood
directly in front of a man seated in the corner. As the car started she
lunged against his newspaper and at the same time trod heavily on his
toes.
