Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 April 1905 — In the Natural Way. [ARTICLE]

In the Natural Way.

During a session of the supreme court of Maine at Augusta a tedious and complicated real estate case had pretty nearly worn out the patience of the counsel on both sides. One of the lawyers engaged was Fred A. Appleton, whose fame as a wit was widespread. Opposing him was a lawyer of pompous mien and much avoirdupois, who kept making blunder after blunder until even the Judge became Irritated. After making a particularly aggravating error he said: “I beg your honor’s pardon; that was another mistake. I seem to be inoculated with dullness today.” “Inoculated, brother?” said Mr. Appleton. “I thought you had It In th* natural way.” See Baughman & Williams for farm and city loans.
