GOLD TIMBER WOOD"
An Old Attorney whose Love of Satire
Often Got Him In Trouble
with the Court.

In the days antedating railroads in
northern Iowa. the days of saloons
and circuit courts, certain ponder
Gus judge was for many years ac-
companied on his rounds by District
Attorney Wood, popularity known as
Old Timber Wood. He had been chris
tened Timothy, the name was cur
tailed to Tim and by easy evolution
developed into Timber. says Harper's
Magazine.
Old Timber Wood was a unique and
interesting character; rough but Dig
nified, of sound intellect, gifted with a
keen sense of humor and far surpass-
ing in mental acumen his professional
superior. whom, however, he usually
treated before the world with an al
most ostentatious Difference. They
were the warmest friends, the feeling
between them was Economically ten
der, Notwithstanding that they had
frequent and violent public fallings
out.
The Judge, who was entirely lack
ing in personal dignity, really needed
the support of his friends deferential
attitude to keep him in countenance,
and when it was temporarily removed,
Old Timber Woods love of satire oc-
casionally betraying him into sacri-
lege, known as contempt of court"
he was stung to fury and promptly
punished the offense. Many fine had
the attorney been subjected to for
his incautious witticims. Being in a
constant state of impecuniosity, he in
variably applied to the judge himself
for money to pay these assessments,
a favor which was never refused, the
fact that he must humble himself to
ask it sufficiently restoring his hon
or's complacency. The judge was Of
thirsty habit, and frequently left
the. bench, substituting Wood in his
place as an old-time schoolmaster sub
stituted one of the large boys when
he wished to absent himself from the
room, and stepped out to refresh him
self Mt a neighboring saloon.
On one occasion, very shortly after
skirmish with the attorney, in
which he had finally avenged his in
suited dignity in the usual way, he
abruptly called Wood to the bench
and started down the aisle. Wood
hastily slipped into his place and be-
fore he had reached the door raped
sharply on the desk and called out:
Gentlemen, before proceeding further
with the case the court wishes to i'm
struct the clerk to remit the fine late
ly imposed upon Attorney Wood"
The judge halted. wheeled about
with very red face and opened his
lips to protest, but the bar and jury
drowned him out with chorus Of
laughter.

Mother fell to musing over the lus-
