Judge Alvin Duval (while judge of the Kentucky Court of Appeals), in company with Squire Johnson, a very large man—ths judge being much smaller —once called a political meeting in Lexington, which for some reason or other was attended by themselves only. The distinguished judge, possessing a fund of quiet humour, finally began to write a notice, reading aloud as he wrote: "At a large and respectable meeting held in this city yseterday"*— —"Stop there a minute, judge!" exclainfed the squire, in surprise. "You wouldn't publish a notice that this was a large and respectable meeting." "Why not?" quickly rejoined the judge. "Are not you large enough and am I not respectable?"
