HOW HE KNEW
In a New York court, counsel for the defense, in a case of assault, was questioning a witness for the prosecution. "Now, you say you saw the quarrel between the two men?"
"Yes," replied the man, who happened to be a carpenter.
"How far away from them were you?"
"Just four yards, two feet, three and one-half inches."
"What do you mean?" shouted the attorney. "You don't mean to say that you can measure distance that accurately with your eye?"
"No," said the carpenter, quietly; "but I knew some fool would ask me, so I measured it."
