Au exchange says a farmer asked a leading lawyer to bring suit against a man who owea him $50. The lawyer said: "What's the use? It will cost you more than $50 to win the case. This may seem strange advice ; but my friend, an honest lawyer is the noblest work of God". Thp farmor learned next day that the lawyer' was retained by the man he wan ted to sue. He went back lo his plodding with the remark. "Well, I guess! An honest lawyer may be the noblest work of God ; I know he's the scarcest".
