"Cabby" Knew q Thing or Two.

A cab was driven to the Twenty
fourth street entrance of the Hoff-
man House, and two young men,
evidently in the third stage of a
spree, got out and walked toward
the entrance. Both were laughing
and apparently enjoying huge
joke.
"Wait for us, driver, " said one as
the doors swung behind them.
The driver looked after them,
while look of deep wisdom came
into his face, which was emphasized
when he laid his finger alongside of
his nose in knowing manner.
He didn t wait-there. He got on
his box and hurriedly drove around
to the Broadway entrance and drew
up to the curb just as the two young
men made their exit.
Drove round to meet you, gentle
men, he said. Where do you want
to go now?"
"Well, guess we'll settle up and

Lincoln was so good naturcd and so
easy of approach young lawyers were
wont to 60 to him for advice more than
to any other member of the bar. The
timidity of young legal fedgeling
always appealed to him. He was for IL
long time member of the committee
appointed to examine applicants for ad-
mission to the bar in the circuit in
which he travelled, and his method of
conducting the examination can in no
way be better illustrated than by the
following anecdotc related by one of the
applicants who still survives: Il studied
law for some time in my brothers office,
and while attending court in Blooming
ton decided to apply for examination.
Judge Davis, to whom / spoke and
whom knew quite WELL told me that
Lincoln was a member of the examining
committee and suggested / should see
him. Accordingly. / called Lincoln to
one side i'll the courtroom one day and
asked when it would suit the commit
tees convenience to examine me- How
! long have you been studying?' he asked.
Almost two years, l responded. Well,
that seems long enough, he said, TO
| find out whether you have the stuff in
you to make Il lawyer. If you will come
up to my room in the hotel after supper
this evening, l reckon l can pass on
your case. Promptly at the appointed
hour l knocked at the door of his room
and was admitted, but / was hardly pre-
pared for the sight that met my gaze on
the queer impression it made on me-
Instead Of finding my examiner in the
midst of books and papers, as antici-
pated, he was undressed and leisurely

sensation as his gaunt half nude figure
moved to and fro between me and the
