Show A Good Suit of Clothes. A Barnesvillo lawyer iippeared before tis friends in a new and costly suit of clothes recently. When he named the price, a bystander exclaimed: "Whewl I haven't had that much cash in a month of Sundays. " "Cash!" exclaimed the lawyer. "Why, I got it on credit, and I shan't lose any Bleep if I never pay for it. I think turn abont's fair play, and the other fellow can afford to do without it" And, lifting himself to his full height and buttoning his coat across hia chest, he continued: "No, gentlemen, I never intend to wear a shabby suit A man just can't afford to do it Nobody has any respect for shabbiness. Why, I couldn't gain a case if I wore shabby clothes if I had the eloquence of a Demosthenes De-mosthenes or Cicero, not if all the law and the prophets were on my side. A jury just wouldn't respect 'me enough to listen to mo, and the judge himself would give his decision according to my outward appearance. No, sir, a man can't afford to wear 6habby clothes."
