experience a short time ago with a young
lawyer, which the lawyer will not soon
forget. One day the doctor received a
note from the lawyer asking him to call
at his office He called, thinking the law
yer was sick. Instead of being sick the
barrister merely wanted to present a bill
to the doctor. DR.. Love had paid the bill
but he did not care to tell the lawyer that
he had, so he told him he would not pay
it. He retired and in a few days received
another note from the lawyer( asking him
TO call. He did so and was again pre-
sented with the bill which he again re-
fused to pay. He received a third note from
the lawyer asking him to call. He did so
and had the bill showed at him again.

brought suit against the doctor In Justice
court In due time the case was called.
IT was of short duration, however for the
doctor presented a receipt for the bill
which OF course ended the case. He de-
termined, however, to get even with the
lawyer, so he presented him a bill for So

declared he had not been sick and had
not sent for the doctor and hence he re-
fused to pay the bill. DR.. Love brought
suit against him to recover the amount Of
the bill. The lawyer declared that he had
never been sick and had never sent for Dr.
Love. DR.. Love, on the other hand, tes-
ufied that his practice was his means Of
earning a livelihood. He had received
three notes from the lawyer asking him to
call on him at his office. lie called and
for each visit he charged the regular fee
of 50. He exhibited the notes IN court and
the judge very promptly decided the case
in DR.. Loves favor and the lawyer was
forced to pay the charges.
