Plea for Leniency.— A wicked Western 
boy killed his father and mother and was 
duly found guilty. “ We ask for leniency 
in the sentence, your Honor,” said the 
lawyer for the defense. “On what ground ?’ 
gruffly asked the Judge. “Your Honor, 
the defendant is an orphan.”— Judge. 
“ I’ll get even with those next-door 
neighbors of mine if it takes a thousand 
years. They have trained that miserable 
cur of theirs to howl every time I sing.” 
“ Why, that is the strangest thing I ever 
heard of. You don’t mean to say the dog 
had to be trained ? ”—Indianapolis Jour¬
