The following is told of a late railway magnate and a prominent Philadelphia lawyer.
Said the magnate to the lawyer—"I want you to show that this law is unconstitutional. Do you think that you can manage it?"
"Easily," answered the lawyer.
"Well, go ahead and get familiar with the case."
"I'm already at home in it. I know my ground perfectly. It's the same law you had me prove was constitutional two years ago."
"Are you sure you can prove my client is crazy?"
"Why, certainly," replied the eminent alienist. "And what is more, if you are ever in trouble and need my services I'll do the same thing for you."
The lawyer was endeavoring to pump some free advice out of the doctor.
