old SangaMOn county court house, In
the days Of the old fashioned slat set
tees, u tall, slim lawyer, noted for
wearing very short c0at, slid along
on the seat to he nearer the advocate
addressing the jury. A prOtruding
nail tore the seat Of the lawyers pam
falcons. A legal wag present wrote .
subscription 1--WE, the Undersigned,
agree to pay the sums set opposite our
several names for the purpose Of pur-
chasing Brother Brown q new pair OF
pantalOOns." Several Of the lawyers
put down sums ranging from ten to
fifly cents. The paper was presented
to Lincoln, who sat opposite the rear
of the advocate, who. bending over In
gesticulating, made quite an exposure.
Lincoln took out his pencil, and wrote
upon the paper: II have nothing to
contribute to the end m VisW." The
lawyers reared with laughter, the
Judge asked to see the paper, when he
too, i'm turn, had to rOar. All this
time the unconscious victim Of fun
was ignorant Of the cause Of laughter,
and at last joined ia the merriment.
