HE WAS STRONG ON THE LAW. Kansas City Times. Among Jwayers there is a sa3ing that, in tho trial of a case an attorney, if light on facts, must, be heavy on law. The other day an attorney was preparing prepar-ing to leave his office in one of tho big office buildings, to go to the courthouse to trj- a case. From the shelves of his librarj he had taken many large law books containing decisions find opinions of higher courts At intervals a bov went in and out of tho door and eacli j time ho bore in his arms a stnek of tho I books, which he carried to an express I wagon that stood in the street below. The nttornej- was to use the books in tho courtroom. Another lawyer, who is of Southern . birth and who always addresses his fnends with somo army title, watched the boy as ho went, in and out. carrying tho law books. Then he dug his hands deep into hia trousers pockets and said to the lawyer: "Wen, 'Ah Ml sweah. kunnel, you must have 110 case at all."
