HUMOR OF THE LAW.

A Memphis lawyer entered his condemned client’s cell: “Well,” he said, “good news at last!”

“A reprieve?” exclaimed the prisoner eagerly.

“No, but your uncle has died leaving you $5,000 and you can go to your fate with the satisfying feeling that the noble efforts of your lawyer in your behalf will not go unrewarded.”
