Why, see how long it is since a

reputation as a law-abiding commu-
nifty. A dispatch from Middleton

their families more. One colored

Lincoln Helped Blackburn.
A sign something like this:
JOG. S. BLACKBURN,
Attorney-at-Law.

Will make its appearance next week
In the courthouse square, in this
city. The ex-senator has associated
himself with his nephew, J. w.
Blackburn, for the practice of law
in Versailles and Washington. SEN
ator Blackburn will hold down this
end of the line while his presence is
not required at the other and his
nephew will be regular in charge at
Washington.
Twenty odd years have passed
since 10 Blackburn gave up a
growing law practice in Kentucky
to engage in the uncertain avocation
OF national politics. During that
time, however, he has kept his mind
pretty thoroughly in touch with his
profession and does not return to it
stranger.
Blackburn entered upon the prac-
tice of law when he was barely TWEEN
ty years of age in the city of Chicago
after graduating from Center Col
lege, Danville, Ky. He greatly en-
joys telling an interesting story how
Abraham Lincoln gave him help
ing hand when he was struggling
with his first case.
"One of my first cases." said
Senator Blackburn, "was in the
United States Court, which was
presided over by Justice McLern
of the Supreme Court and Judge
Drummond of the Illinois Circuit
Court. The opposing counsel was
Isaac N. Arnold, then at the head
of the Chicago bar, subsequently
prominent member of Congress and
author of the first biography of Lin
coin. / had filed demurrer to Mr..
Arnold's pleadings in the case, and
when the case was reached on the
calender | was quite nervous at Eav
ing such a formidable and expe
rienced antagonist, while the digni-
ty of the tribunal and the presence
of large number of lawyers in the
court all aided to increase my en-
barrassment. In fact, | was willing
that any disposition should be made
of the case, so l could get rid of it.
l was ready to adopt any suggestion
of the opposing counsel which
would relieve me of the embarrass-
ing situation. l wanted to get away.
"Mr. Arnold made an argument
in which he criticized my demurrer
in a manner that increased my con-
fusion. However, | had to make an
effort. l said but little and that
in a very bewildered manner, and
was about to sit down and let the
case go by default, as it were,
when a tall, homely, loose-jOinted
man sitting in the bar, whom l had
noticed giving close attention to the
case, arose and addressed the court
in behalf of the position l had as
sumed III my feeble argument, max
ing the points so clear that when he
closed the court at once sustained
my demurrer. | did not know who
my volunteer friend was, but when
Mr.. Arnold got up and attempted
to rebuke him for interfering in the
matter, then for the first time l
learned that he was Abe Lincoln of
Springfield. Mr.. Lincoln, in his
good natured reply to ArnOld's
structures, said that he claimed the
privilege of giving young lawyer
lift when struggling with his first
case, especially if he was pitted
against an experienced practitioner.
Of course | thanked him and retired
proud as a Field Marshal. never
