stories Aboui David Davis.

AtN 4lLA llAolneJ
The Judge is the sort of man Of
whom stories ere sure 10 be told. The
bar Of Illinois and Indiana haze
endless anecdotes Of him as a LAWYER
and magistrate. During the campaign
Of 1860 his whole heart was engaged
IL the cause Of Lincoln's candidacy,
and bis mind was apt 70 wander In
that direction even while he was on
the bench. Il is said on one occasion.
when a prosy attorney was darkenine
counsel with much language. that the
Judge went of into the realms of
conjecture about the size Of the vote
that Douglas would get. The lawyer
happened to say, And now, Your
Honor, the matter rests in this State"
The last word reused the Judge from
his reyerie. Still thinking Of the
Little Giant, he cried, "Statel S,atel
be wont carry a county" After his
translation to the Supreme Bench, the
added dignity was not enough TO
queneh wholly the FIRE Of his tempefa-
ment He relates himself a Ehim
steal story Of bis first day on the
bench. He was quite impressed with
the importance Of his functions and
listened with all his ears to what
going N. A young lawyer was
making what our ex-senator would
call "a halcyon and Y~ociferous"
speech. After the harangue had
lasted for an hour Judge Grier, who
was seated next 10 Davis, turned as If
70 speak 10 him. Davis inclined his
head, expecting to hear some profound
observation on the law Of the case.
The venerable Grier whispered:
On that fellow He makes such a
row | can't sleepl' Judge Davis
soon got to be very much at home on
the bench, and especially enjoyed his
circuit duties in his old field Of work
in the West. He was greatly liked By
the bar, though he had an eye like a
hawk for any manifestation of mean
ness or greed. II is related that on
one occasion 10 Indiana, when a GER
tain case was called, one Of the par
ties asked for a continuance, as his
counsel was absent. The lawyer on
the other side demanded an immedi-
ate hearing. Davis looked at him
with a dangerous smile, and said:
VERY we'll, my friend. Well 20 on
if you say so. But / ought to tell
you that in such cases l always think
1t my duty TO look out for the side
that is not represented by counsel.
We had a case of that sort in Terra
Haute the other day, where a man in
sisted on going on when the other
side wasn't there, and, singular as it
may seem, we beat that fellow" The
case was continued.
