1t was amusing how quickly that boy pick
cd up knowledge of legal business. 1t was
his duty to stay in the Office when the lawyer
his position. When big boys came around to
ask for job of carrying up coal Thomas
went for them heavy
Boy ~ he would answer in n severe voice,
" don't want to see you come to grief, but
if you don't hurry right down stairs I'll get
out capias switch yon behind the bars and
have you hung before the green grass starts.
The attorney had to go 10 Chicago one day,
and he told Thomas that he might wash the
windows and slick up little. Thomas went
in. He had new mating put on the floor,
put painter at work and hired an old woman
to wash cverytl,in. which, could be washed.
II was nea, job ali around, and he felt rs if
he ought to- be praised for his enterprise
The attorney begun 70 scold. hut Thomas re-
marked
.siat - sal'a IS taose one-horse law
yefa across Tie roaa9 Is a law Office barn
or is il a law oflice9"
Two weeks ago he was told to 60 down
and order half ton of coal to keep the
stove going till warm weather. Some one
told him the coal wond be considerably high
er next year, aud SO, on the ground Of econo-
my, he ordered live tons sent up, and most
Of it had been dumped on the walk before
the attorney discov cred the situation. Tho
mas would probably have lasted a week or SO
longer than he did, but for his reception of a
lady ellen who came to see the lawyer about
applying for divorce. The lawyer was try
ing the case in court, and the boy had sole
charge Of the Office. He received the lady
in lis usual urbane manner, and when she in
CURED for the attorney, he replied,
. lie is ont, but my legal services are at
your disposal"
She didn't seem inclined to consult him,
and he went on
8 Is it a case Of wife beating or dfvorce?"
She intimated that he was an impudent
boy, and he replied
case at all.'
She said she'd call and see the lawyer, but
Thomas answered:
1t won't do you any good. We can't
take your case at all--not for love or money"
She returned two hours later, when the
lawyer was in and Thomas was out, and it
was decided that the boy would have to seek
some other profession. That evening, when
SO informed, he replied
"All right. If I'm going to be lawyer
want things to git up and git around. You
don't want a lively boy around here, and l
saw that over week ago.
1t was intimated that he hadn't better
sssass' any one, and he blandly replied
"No one is sassing you. II YOU want this
partnership dissolved we'll part friendly. If
you don't want to rush things this is no place
for me-
He is peddling epanuts now, and the way
he dusts around is the canse of his having
half q dozen fights per day.

Mr. MooDY's INcoME.--The New York
Evening Post tells the following When
askcd-as they often very naturally are asked
how do Messrs. Moody and Sankey manage to
whence come their means of subsistence the
executive committee reply as follows Mr..
Moody is constantly receiving from friends in
this country and from friends in Europe, from
men and women in almost every locality that
he has ever visited, voluntary gifts of money
thank offerings, so to speak-for the good
which these persons believe that Mr.. Moody
has done them, expressions OF their affection
and gratitude. 1t is not known how much
money Mr. Moody has obtained from this
prolific source. 1t is not known even that
Mr.. Moody has kept an account of it himself.
Sometimes he has been known to return to q
donor the amount OF the contribution, because
the manner or the measure of the gift did not
please him. Ssuch known instances are
many. MIR. Moody alone-if indeed he is able
can tell the financial gain that this revival
and his other revivals have brought to him.
The secret just now is his own. But the
the opinion is freely expressed-not by the
executive committee, but by other gentlemen
that during the last year Mr.. Moody's in
