A LAWYERS sPRAINED ANKLE
How. In Consequences. His Wife Became
Cashier of IL GOo,liy Fund.

a lawyers wife recently gave an
amusing account of how she accumu-
lated IL considerable fund from her
husbands business without his knowl.
edge He WIS IL very prominent
member OF the bar in one of the
III al counties, and at each session of
the court was retained on one side OF
the other i'm nearly every case. One
winter term arrived, and there were
several hund,cl cases OH the calendar
for trial. In Il large numb r of
them, owing TO the depressed imam.
cial situation, the defendants were
lighting Tor dc'ay.
The evening nefOrc thu court
opened, the attorney mentioned. WAC
may be called MIR. n. fell ON the ice
and spraincd his ankle. The next
morning on the call of thu calendar
in court, when the first case was
reached, Il young attorney arose aud
stated that h. rel resented the de.
PENDANT. and that Mr.. ", who was
counsel i'm the case, hal sprained his
ankle the night before and desired
an adjournment. The court an
nounccd that after the calendar was
called he would dispose Of all appli.
cations tor an adjournment. Agrcat
many attorneys followed i'm the wake
of the young lawyer i'm the first case,
and announced that MIR. \, was coun.
sci and had spraincd his ankle, and
moved for an adjournment. The
court stated that application to post.
ponc cases would b. decided i'm the
morning, and then the court adj.
juurncd.
- When evening came, Mr.. Ms door.
bell rang, and IL gentleman appeared,
who inquired for MIR. Y. His wife
answered the cal, and stated that
MIR. y. was confined to his bed with
IL sprained ankle ani could see
no one. The stranger explained TIC
Mis-. \. that he was Il lawyer, and
desired to retain Mr.. Y. as his coun.
sci in a case, and handed her a r III of
bills as Il retainer to be delivered to
her husband. Ihe duo.bell rang at
least IL dozen times that evening. and
on each OCCASION IL lawyer appeared
and informed Mrs. X. that the
services of her husband were desired
in Zoe VS.. Doc, smith VS.. Jones, or
some other case. and in each instance
IL generous fee was handed to her for
her husband. Knowing her husbands
nervous state, She said nothing to him
about the calls.
The next morning in court the
Judge announced that MIR. Ms
spraincd ankle, on account of the
large number of cases he was engaged
in rs counsel. would seriously inter-
ferc with the due administration of
justice. and that he had dispatched IL
physician to Mr.. Ms house the even
ing before, who reported that MIR. y.
would he out and able to attend to his
business i'm about Il week. and the
court was accordingly adjourned for
ten days.
The Joke was on the lawyers who
had come to the sudden detcrmina-
ton to retain Mr.. Ms counsel in
order to get their cases adjourned
over a term, and Mr.. y. was Il very
much surprised man when on his re-
covcry a week later his wife told him
the story Of her evening callers and
gave him Il roll of money that
amounted to close upon $500.
