An Effective Touch.

A western senator tells the story of a judge who had occasion to fine a lawyer in that state $100 for contempt of court.

After court had adjourned the lawyer approached the judge and said, "Your honor, I want to ask a great favor of you."

"What is it?" inquired the judge.

"I have a pressing obligation to meet. That hundred you took for that fine was the money I had to meet it with. I wish you would lend me $100 for a few days."

"Hi, Mr. Crier," shouted the judge, "convene court again!" Court was reconvened, and then the judge remitted the fine.
