A LAWYER as the Lord.
(Roston Herald)


Ex-Governor Cleaves of Portland
about the late John Potte. well
known barrister of kennebec county
for many years. who defended nearly
all of the criminals in that county
years ago.
One day an evangelist of the Holy
Roller type struck Augusta. and in
consequence of some minor offense he
committed was arrested. He refused
to engage a lawyer to defend him at
the trial. saying the Lord would de-
fend him. His friends thought diff
ferently, and engaged Pottle.
When the case came up in court
the evangelist and several tother pris-
oners We're brought into court to plead
Pottle was busy with papers and did
not realize what was going on. The
evangelist. who entered a plea Of not
guilty, told Judge Libby. who was pre-
siding. that he had engaged counsel
and said:
Your honor I have secured the
services Of able counsel, the Lord Jesus
Christ will look after me-
About this time another lawyer
kicked Pottle, who was busy with his
papers, and, realizing that his client
had entered plea. for he was stand
ing before the judge, the lawyer with
out a moments hesitation, said:
yes your honor, l appear for him."
Everyone in the court room smiled.

Man Claiming to Be Deaf and Dumb
and Belonging to Navy, in the State.
Lieut.. John w. Burnes, Jr., U. S. N,
recruiting officer at Des Moines, has
informed the police here that an i'm
poster has been at work in Ottumwa,
Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, and
may show up here in house-to house
begging canvass for funds. The man
claims to have been rendered deaf and
dumb by an accident on board the u.
S. S. Wisconsin, while serving in the
navy and is now trying to get to his
home The man gets great deal of
sympathy. Lieutenant Burnes says, but
he is deserving of neither sympathy
nor money. which is paid to him upon
the presentation of his written plea.
The fellow has never been in the navy,
neither is he deaf or dumb. Uncle Sam
always cares for his men in way that
they are not compelled to beg, for If a
soldier or sailor loses health 'or senses
in line of duty he is pensioned, and
if discharges are taken for disabilities
due to natural causes, the men are Civ
en- trans portation to their homes.
