Good One On the Bar
A committee of lawyers was ap
pointed by the court to examine a
very popular friend of the fraternity
who was anxious to be admitted to
practice. Upon such occasions wine j
sometimes serves to make the appli-1
cant appear even more learned in i
legal lore than he really is. Upon
this occasion however, wine or no j
wine, the first question propounded;
to the applicant was thi>: "Do you j
know what law i-V*' The answer]
came honestly and quickly. "No.
"Hold." said the chairman of the
committee, “we shall report this ans
wer to the court he fori* going any
further.’’ After being seated in the j
presence of the court, his honor said,
"Have you examined the applicant?” ;
' "We have," replied the chairman of I
the committee, "and he has answered]
all tiie questions asked him.”
"R-gi-ter the aopiieant as a mem-,
; Per of tlii" bar." replied the judge
and the thing was done. Juneau
