Show A Shapely Compliment. The late Chief Justice Chase was noted for his gallantry. ' While oa a visit to the south, shortly after the war, he was introduced to a very beautiful beau-tiful woman who prided herself upon her devotion to the "lost cause." ' Anxious that the chief justice should know her sentiments, she remarked, as she gave him her hand, "Mr. Chase, you see before you a rebel who has not been reconstructed." "Madam," he replied with a profound pro-found bow, "reconstruction in your case would be blasphemous." |
