biblical Law.


In the early days of interior Mis-
pouri the late Judge E. cut cord
wood, cleared up his homestead farm,
and was employed upon one side of
nearly every case that came up, being
Tor some years the only lawyer in the
county.
He had no books except an old
leather covered Bible and an old vol
ume or two of history, similarly bound,
but had rend law n short time in Ken
lucky in his youth. He was very small
and insignificant in appearance, but
became before his death splendid
lawyer and an honored Judge.
A young attorney from the East
settled in the little country town, with
his library of about half dozen new
and handsomely bound law books, and
on his first appearance in case he
brought most of his library to the JUS
tees office in fine, beautifully
lowered carpet bag, popular in that
day. E. was engaged against him,
and, MS usual, had not book.
When his adversary carefully drew
his books from his pretty carpet bag
and laid them on the table, F.
looked nstonished, but quickly recov-
cred his ready resources, and asked
the Justice to excuse him for n few
moments. He hurried to his home-
stead, hall mile or SO away, and put
his old leather-b bound Bible and his
tories into grain sack and brought
them to court, initiating his opponent
in laying them before him on the
table.
The evidence was introduced, and
the Eastern man, being for the plain.
tiff, made his opening argument and
read Mt length from his text books.
E made his characteristic speech
in reply, closing by reading law from
his old Bible just the reverse of that
read by his opponent and took his
seat, putting his Bible on tho table.
His adversary reached over and
picked it up, and seeing what it was
eagerly addressed the Justice:
"Your Honor" said he, "thir man
is humbug and pettifogger. Why,
sir, this is the Bible from which he
has pretended to read law"
The old Justice looked indignant,
and intarrupting the young attorney,
snid:
"Set down. What better law can
we get than the Bible?' He then de
