Webster's Case.

81 will repeat an anecdote which I
feel sure that Webster gave at that din
ner, though, as I made no note of it, it
is Just possible that he told it In my
presence at some later date. The con-
versation was running upon the import
ance OF doing small things thoroughly
and with the full measure of ones
ability. This Webster illustrated by an
account Of some petty insurance case
that was brought to him when young
lawyer in Portsmouth. Only small
amount was involved and twenty-dol-
lar fee was all that was promised. He
saw that, to do his clients full justice, q
journey to Boston, to consult the law
library, would be desirable. He would
be out Of pocket by such an expedition,
and fol. his time he would receive no
adequate compensation. After little
hesitation, he determined to do his very
best, cost what it might. He accord
ingly. went to Boston, looked up the
authorities, and gained the case. Years
after this, Webster, then famous, was
passing through New York. An i'm
portant insurance case was to be tried
the day after his arrival, and one Of the
counsel had been suddenly taken ill.
Money was no object, and Webster was
begged to name his terms and conduct
the case. Z told them, said Mr.. Web
ster, that it was preposterous to expect
me to prepare legal argument at few
hours notice. They insisted, however,
that I should look at the papers and
this, after some demur, consented to
do. Well, it was my old twenty-dollar
case over again, and, as I never forget
anything, I had all the authorities at my
fingers ends. The court knew that I
had no time to prepare, and were aston
ished at the range Of my requirements.
So, yon see, / was handsomely paid
both in fame and money for that journey
to Boston and the moral is that good
work is rewarded in the end, though, to
10 SIRE, one's own self-approyal should
be enough. 2uiucy's anecdotes.

One naddened beast dashed itself against

dispatched to Tul1a for the assistance of the
military while, in the meantime, the police, IN
united force, proceeded to the house where tho
eviction was to take place. It was situated on
a Hill. and as they ascended toward it the police
were attacked BY an armed band Of desperate
men. who from the covert of the fences at each
side Of the road poured CALLING fire into the
ranks Of the constabulary. The latter were
Immediately deployed in skirmishlng order
and returned the fire with effect killing one
man and wOunding several others.
The police succeeded in reaching the house,

st. Peters attempt to walk on the sea
of Galilee, his boldness at venturing on
the deep, and his subsequent fear, has a
counterpart in the Jatakas. A certain
househ older, DESTROYS of hearing the law,
left his boat by the stairs or landing
place, but on his return could see no
signs of it; whereupon he attempted to
cross to the other side of the street by
walking on the surface of the water. As
long as his faith in the Teacher was firm,
so long the water supported him; but he
began to sink as soon as his trust began
to waver. In the parallels to the
Dhammapada we read of q marvellous
crossing, like that of Joshua's through
the power of faith. Fixing their minds
steadily on the virtues of the Blessed
One, they went on their horses and be-
gan to cross the stream. The surface of
the water became like stone slab; not
even the hoofs of the horses were wetted.

That the Russian peasantry are not
wholly unreasonable in their present
wish for agrarian reform, one example
out Of many will suffice to show. A
peasant in one of the eastern provinces,
whose crops had failed, having with
difficulty maintained his household dur
ing the winter, found himself absolutely
without resources in the spring. After
vainly asking help from his neighbors,
he at length appliedto wealthy money
lender who had more than once profited
by his distress. and offered to work for
him during the whole summer as COM
mon laborer. The other offered sum
SO far below even the meagre market
rate of twenty cents a day that the peas
ant saw at once that it would barely
suffice to keep his wife and children
from starvation, leaving absolutely moth
ing for himself. "Have pity upon me,
your HONOR" pleaded the peasant; 81
must starve if you won't give me more
than that" "Starve, then, and be
cursed to you," retorted the heartless
ursurer; cts no affair of mine" Driven
to desperation, the poor fellow sat down
on his hard-hearted employers door and
cut his own throat.
