When Justice Buffum opened court 
in a small town in southern Georgia,

A dignified gentleman came to bar 
and said: “I am Dr. Jones, your 
honor, the complaining witness. My 
chickens were stolen and found in 
the possession of—” 
“One moment, Doctor,” the judge 
interrupted. ‘We must have the de- 
fendant at the bar. Is William John- 
son in court?” 
A tall and shambling negro shuffled 
to the bar. 
“Ah’s Willyum Johns’n, please suh, 
Jedge,” he said. “Ah doan’ know 
nuffin ’bout no ’fendant, suh. Ah’m 
jes’ de man wot took de chickens.” 
“Don’t talk like that,’ the court 
warned William. “You ought to 
have a lawyer.” 
“Ah ain’ got no lawyer, Jedge— 
“Very well, then,” said his honor. 
“T’ll assign a lawyer to defend you.” 
“Oh no, suh; no, suh! Ple-e-ease 
don’ do dat!” William begged. 
“Why not?” asked the judge. “It 
won't cost you anything. Why don’t 
you want a lawyer?” 
‘Well,’ -ah’ll® tell ““yo’@suh, ‘said 
William, waving his tattered old hat 
confidentally. “Hit’s jes dis-a-way—

Fargo, N. D., once boasted a com- 
posite postmaster and coroner. He 
was called one day to give a verdict 
upon the case of a stranger who had 
been the victim of a fit on the main 
street. As the man was known to 
nobody, he was hurried to the much- 
prized new city hospital. 
There the case was diagnosed as 
appendicitis, but when the operation 
took place, the attending surgeon dis- 
covered that the patient had been pre- 
viously relieved of his appendix. The 
doctor endeavored to retract his steps, 
but the strange man died. 
The postmaster-coroner, in render- 
ing his verdict, filled in the space af- 
ter “Cause of Death” with a rubber 
stamp which read “Opened by mis- 
take.” ne 
I know that the Lord is always on 
the side of the right; but it is my con- 
stant anxiety and prayer that I and this 
nation should be on the Lord’s side.
