What He Lacked.

A Cleveland lawyer whose interests frequently take him to a certain town in Indiana, tells of a quaint character there known to the townspeople as “Necessity” Nelson. Nelson gets on pretty well despite the fset that he is a jack of all trades “and master of none.” He poseß mainly as an attorney. When the Cleveland man first went to the Indiana town he was naturally enough very curious as to the odd nickname given Nelson. “Why do you call him ‘Necessity?’ he asked. "Because he knows no law,” was the answer.—-Chicago Tribune.
