Time He Began to Practice.

Ex-Chief Justice William Lindsay, it is said, was raised to the highest judicial office in the Blue Grass State without ever having had a real law case: While yet a novice he was elected Sheriff, and then State Senator. Then almost before he knew it be was a Supreme Court judge, and finally Chief Justice. Then he declined re-election, saying: “I want to begin to practice: that’s what I started out to do, and I want to see how it goes.”
