POSITION REVERSED.
A voluble Frenchman was giving evidence in an important law case, and the reporters were having a difficult time. The more they exerted themselves, the faster he went. They had about reached the point of exhaustion when he suddenly turned to them and shouted: “Not so fast! Not so fast! Don’t write so fast! How do you think I can keep up with you?” “UNDER THE INFLUENCE.” One night two men, who were not quite as sober as they might have been, were driving furiously in a car along a road that ran side by side with a railway track. Suddenly an express train, travelling in the opposite direction, flashed by them. “I say,” said one, “did you notice how that village was lit up?” “Yes,” replied the other. “The first house was on fire.”
