Show A BLOW IN THE DARK. A firm of cheap clothing makers was dissolved not long ago, and in no amicable ami-cable way. A lawsuit over the settlement settle-ment was the result, and the cause of Meyer agalrffet Jacobs came to trial. According Ac-cording to the way the story is told In the Lawyers' club former Judge Dit-tenhoefer Dit-tenhoefer was the counsel for the plaintiff. plain-tiff. "I think I will send the Judge a nice box of cigars," said Mr. Meyer to his , counsel during a recess In th trial. I "Perhaps he will feel more kindly toward to-ward me then." "No. no: don't do that." replied Mr. Dittenhoefer. "It wouldn't be right at all. You would offend him very deeply, for he would think you were try ing to bribe him. Your case isn't any too good now, and you would surely lose It If you did that." The trial ended with a verdict in Meyer's favor. "Well, I won," said the victorious litigant liti-gant to his lawyer, with a broa,d smile, "and. say. I did send the Judge those I cigars." "You did?" "Yes, sir: but I put Jacobs' card in the box."
