his books for about three years. Tom was
a good scholar, made satisfactory progress;
and was finally admitted to the har and
taken into partnership by his father. A
few months after this, the Judge, as he was
starting for Dallas, one morning, to attend
a long session of the court, looked up at the
old, weather-beaten sign which had been
above his Office door for a quarter of GEN.

time to have new one, "and, Tom,' he
he said, sssuppose you attend to it-get a
good sign, and have the name of the firm
painted upon It,"
The old gentleman went to Dallas, and
was gone several days. Returning, when he
came in sight of the little frame Office, he
thought it looked strange, and riding nearer
he found stretched cleor across the building
an immense sign bQard, on which was paint
