STILL IN HIS POSSESSION
Remarkable Coincidence In Sum Of
Money That Rastus Had In
His Pocket.

Rastus- was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-five
cents. He pleaded not guilty. and, as
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was ac-
quilted.
Counsel and client met few min.
utes later outside the courtroom.
"Now, Rastus," said Clearem.
you know the court allows the
counsel very little for defending this
kind of case. l worked hard for you
and got you clear. I'm entitled to
much more pay than I'm getting for
my valuable services, and you should
dig up gocd-sized fee. Have you got
any money!"
"Yes, boss," replied Rastus. 81 done
got seben dollahs and eighty-fye
cents"
