Hr AA a« a AA extern Lawyer, UL Dearly Lov«-d a Joke. Among tbe early-day settlers of Smith county, of whom Judge Dick 1’ickltr | -1 wrote in his Christinas n inini vcvhm was Attorney ’Dolph ( orn, who k b«*en dead for a score of years. Con was a splendid lawyer, but almostnfail ure in the practice. He knew no more the value of money than ;i child, h loved his family, and so long as tie. 1 were happy and contented he was I k - yond tlie reach of care, lie was bub- I". I bling over with humor and simply cu - h I not be serious for a moment. He was willing to lose a case at any time rather than forego the pleasure of amusing his friends with a witticism. Mr. Corn once ran for county attor ney. and held joint debates with his opponent. At one of their meetings his opponent hinted broadly at one of Mr. Corn’s weaknesses as follows: “If anj man here to-night can say I ever took fees on both sides ef « tu*e IA« some one I could name let him now stand up and say so. If anyone can sa I ever swindled a client or that I ha* ever been guilty of a dishonest action, let him now say so.’* Then it came Mr. Corn’s turn and h** responded as follows: “It is perhap true that I have taken fees on both sidr of a case, and it is a source of gnat re gret that some other lawyer does nof move into the county, so I won’t have to attend to both sides. Gentlemen, it n ; v also be true that you know > *mv thing of me that would not sound well if told. If such is the case I wanttosa; that you will do me a kindness to keep quiet about it until after the election is over.’* I hi view of the situation o ‘ tr i. tin humor of the voters that Mr. Cor carried the township by a prrcticn’l.’’ unanimous vote. “On on<* o<*r*i',::n. ».it s Jiiilg* Pickier, “two men et-ia-.- in I orn * i-fllec .md had him take ont ’ chattel mortgage, and then the oM question arose an to who should | : h'r it.
