He was educat­ ed at Eton and Trinity college, Cam­ bridge, and was a barrister at Lin­ coln's Inn.N At the age of thirty-four his father's death placed him in pos­ session of a fortune of £200^000, and from that moment he became a cook Armed miser. Neild lived at 5 Cheyne walk, Chelsea. His big house was so meanly furnished that it did not even boast of a bed. Two old women, who did his chores* and a black cat were his sole companions. When he visited his large estates in the Midlands, which he did frequently, he generally 'walked unless he could get a lift for nothing, and he was not even above taking a gratuitous seat on a dung cart. Sometimes be was compelled by the weather to take a seat on the stagecoach, and there he would sit outside, shivering end dripping, for he never wore ft an object of commiseration to Ids fellow passen- UkmII'I BcMk*. The saying that there are few est lawyers did not hold true in the case of Lincoln. A man oncd called to retain htm on a suit "State your ease," said honest Abe. The man did, and then Lincoln said: "I cannot represent you, for you are wrong, and the other party Is right" "Ttyit is none of your business if I employ you," said the client "Pardon me," said the man who aft­ erward became president; "my busi­ ness is never to defend wrong. I nev­ er take a esse that to manifestly wrong." "Well, but you en make trouble for the other fellow." "Yes," said Lincoln, "I c»n set a whole community at loggerheads, i can make trouble for tills widow and her fatherless children- and by so doing get you *600 that rightfully belongs to bar, but I won't do it." / "Not If I pay you wetlf* "Not for all the money jrem are worth,* wga the reply. ^ ' a WwrW Tee. • -.i?'*,* The wooden boards that had marked the graves in a certain rural cemetery rotted off and were raked up in the spring cleaning. Consequently on Memorial day when the delegation from the Q.

The mistaken dele­ gates heaped their offerings upon Han­ nah's last resting place and departed. That afternoon Ericson, the widower, drifted, with the rest of his world, to the cemetery. When he11 saw the flag and . the flowers above Hannah the astonished Swede fell to chuckling joyously. "Veil," he exclaimed delightedly, "dose faller bane pooty smart too!

Whan Grover Cleveland was practic­ ing law at Buffalo among his associ­ ates was a young lawyer who, though a bright fellow, was rsther incliasd to laslness. He was forever bothering Cleveland about points of law rather than look them up himself. At last Cleveland became tired at it and ftps next time the young man sauntered in Cleveland knew what he wanted and, getting up, pointed to his bookesse and said: "There are my books. Ton are welcome to them. You can reed your own case." The fellow was caught, but he rose to the occasion. "See here, Grover Cleveland," he said, "I want you to understand I don't read law.
