When "CaIled Down."

Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland,
was trying his first case before
Judge named Merrick. Lipscomb, wish
ing to impress the judge, was, in the
language of the bar, right lippy in his
remarks to the eminent gentleman.
Finally, Merrick lost patience and ex-
claimed:
"Sit down! Sit down, sir! If you
don't sit down I'll fine you for con-
tempt of court"
Lipsoomb sat down. but turned to
young lawyer beside him, and re-
marked in an undertone:
That's the crustiest, most opinion
ated old Judge ever saw. I'll show
him where he gets off. He's an old
