ILLUSTRATING A PRAYER.

A good deacon in an old fash
Toned New England town was
terribly exercised over the con-
duct Of Il son of his, who showed
a Discrimination to walk in the
straight and narrow path pre-
scrlbed by the strictest rules of
orthodoxy. This recalcitrant
youth displayed a fordness for
social gatherings, and would
rather "go home with pretty
girl six nights in the week than
devote single evening to the
careful study OF his Sunday school
lesson. Finally the climax of his
tranSgressions was reached, and
at the prayer meeting that week
the unhappy father took ot caslon
to make his family troubles the
subject of tervent petition to
the throne OF grace.

Little Children as Models.

Here in London, where am writing,
there are several hundred people whose
business it is to sit for artists. Some of
them, who are particularly beautiful, are
engaged every day in the year, and may
earn from 81. so to 50 a day They must
keep still for hours, and often stand or
kneel In tiresome positions. However,
the models generally take a great interest
In the pictures they sit for, and like to do
their best for the artists who employ them.
Among the models are some very little
children, who began to sit when they were
mere babies. / have often wished that
some rich children could see how patient
these little ones can be, when they Under
stand that they are earning money to buy
food and clotIes. / have tried for days to
persuade a fine little boy, in smart silk
stockings and fine shoes, to keep his feet
still long enough for me to paint them.
When l find that child can not sit
quietly to have his dress painted, send for
George Mum. He is very proud to put
on the beautiful stockings and shoes
make a chalk mark on the throne where
his little feet should go, and he will keep
carefully on the mark He has few
minutes for rest at intervals during each
hour, and along rest at dinner time; but
he will keep very quiet while we are
working, and viii not move without leave.
He is a very little boy; so his mother
keeps her arm around him to steady him,
and talks to him in a whisper without dis
turbing me. She teaches him to count,
to sing little songs, or to spell. Every
now and then he tries to guess what there
will be for dinner. With so good boy
to help me l can paint very quickly, and
when the little Master Restless comes next
day to sit for his portrait he is surprised
to see the dress quite finished.

BILL NYE AS A LAW YER
Why he Abandoned the Profession
and Other Interesting Facts.
The Tragic Death of HIS CIient-The
Sorrow and Sadness Incident TO an
Active PractIce-The Ostra-
cIsm Of a Lawyers Life.

A dear friend in Pennsylvania writes me
that he has learned casually that some years
ago was a member Of the legal profession,
and he asks me to state, if will, publicly,
whether that is true and, if so, why aban-
donsd the profession.
1t is true that did practice law in the
West, for short time, in very quiet kind OF
a way. After a few months. however, I
abandoned my lucrative practice to accept
the portfolio of the Laramie City post office.
During my brief but tempestuous career as
an attorney, paid out S120 for rent, and
drew chattel mortgage, which was never
paid for, as near as am able to judge.
My principal reason, however, for .aban-
doning the profession, was the sudden death
Of my client. When a young lawyer has
assiduously sat and looked out of his Office
window for two months, and client comes
in and shows signs of intrusting actual BUSH
ness to him, there springs up at
once between the two warm friendship.
Such was the case with me- A middle
aged gentleman came into my Office one
day, and said he had been referred to me by
a party in town, and asked me if had lei
sure to attend to him. l said that would
lay aside other matters and attend to him
at once, If he wished. He said it would be a
great accommodation if would allow my
other clients to accumulate in the hall for a
few moments, and in the meantime do the
business that was on his mind. He had
asked Charlie Kitchen, at the Thoresburgh
House, to give him the. name Of some poor
young lawyer, and Kitchen had told him
that I was about the poorest lawyer he knew
of, so he had come right to me.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-02-16

saw at once that he was shrewd bush
ness man, and did all could to please him.
He was delighted with the promptness with
which hau done the work, and said he
would have more for me to do very soon, as
he had purchased the controlling interest
in new silver mine over at Jelm Mountain.
On the strength of this revival in trade,
went down town and bought half ton of
coal
then opened a set of double entry books,
which still retain, and which are almost az
good as new. I had just got my new client
fairly on the books, when he was killed by
falling down a shaft a distance Of 200 feet
in a p. endicular direction then said
that the practice of the law was invested
with too much sorrow and sadness for me.
could not endure the constant sundering
of pleasant, friendly ties which
an active practice demanded. 1
sold my revised statutes to a new
notary public at Last Chance and gave my
other law book to a warm personal friend.
Having thus disposed of my library, re-
tired from the practice of my profession by
taking down my tin sign and mailing it to
the front door of the pest mouse at
the close of a beautiful summer day.
There is nothing that will dam up the
food of professional business so quickly
as a course like this-if you have a flood
to dam and wish to have it damned
ouickly-but enough of that. A young law
yer may be- ever so popular and overworked,
no matter, he can remove his library to the
smallpox hospital and in week he will
have all the physical relaxation and intellec-
tuaI repose he wants.
So like the swift fight of a brilliant me-
teor across black sky, flashed through
the heavens, lighting up the wide realms
of space and then disappeared forever.
With thousands of other people to select
from, death sought out the only client I
ever had and gathered him in. With a
world full of the aged and the sick,
to say nothing of Cinnamon and In
dams not taxed, the grim reaper stuck
his sickle int 10 man in whom l felt a Won
derful interest. mo one knows, who has not
seen his sole client cut down before his face,
the great sorrow that settles down upon the
heart at such time. How lonely my &dlce
seemed after that. How still it sees ed. I
could not endure it. 1 at once abandoned
the profession to its fate
Contrary to my fears, however, it soon
rallied. Young blood entered into the prac-
tice, and in three months after had turned
the key in my Office door one would hardly
notice that so recently bright light in the
legal profession had been squelched, snd a
clarion voice that had always rung out for
eternal Justice and equity, at so much per
equity, had ceased to vibrate.
was a clear-headed and cool, but abnor-
maIly conservative, attorney. / was not
only conservative in my practice, but in my
gross receipts. I saw at once that could
not afford to pay $40 per month rent and
depend upon book account of $3.50 to
Offset it. While I may say that 1 was pas
sionately fond of the study and the practice
of the law, felt most keenly the ostracism
and the depressing isolation which it seemed
to engender. BILL NYE-

Siam BurgIaries.

Fully 90 per cent of the property
reported to the police authorities as stolen
has never, in fact, been taken, said Lieut..
Koch of thepolice. when people miss
valuable article their first suspicion quite
naturally is that it has been stolen, and
they rush off to the police station and re-
port their loss. 1t often happens that a
few days later, or sometimes months
afterwards, the property is found where
it has accidentally been misplaced. But
deal of property reported lost in this way
by individuals who are well aware at the
time that it has not been pilfered.
What object could a man have in
publishing a loss when there has been
none?p queried the reporter
There are many reasons. One OF the
most common is to avoid the payment of
debts. Cases occur where even business
men, who are pressed for any obligation
which they are unable to meet, concoct a
schemei to secure time on plea of burg
larry and sometimes this plan is worked to
defraud creditors. Again it is done to Sc
cure sympathy of charity by means of the
advertisement of their loss. Several years
ago a man, who had been subsisting on
the charity of several church benevolent
societies, DESERVING the denomination for
another when he had obtained all the help
from it he could expect, reported at the
second precinct station that load Of hay
and some grain had been stolen from his
barn, but he failed to find even wisp of
hay there. The story was pure fabrica-
ton, invented to enlist sympathy and af-
ford pretext for soliciting charity.

Not a Promising Field.

During the 800 years between a. D. IA
and 313 the Roman empire had fifty-seven
rulers. OF these twenty three were as
sassinated, one was poisoned by his wife,
three were killed by their own soldiers,
five killed themselves, one was strangled
by his mistress, one was captured by the
enemy aud fayed alive, several were
killed in the battle, one was drowned, one
died of plague, and two or three were
formally executed. Altogether the
rulers of the empire would not have made
a promising field for the operation of a
life insurance company.

Charles c. Abbott, in recently published
book entitled 'sA Naturalist's Rambles
About Home,n throws new light on the
character of the opossum. So far from
possessing the remarkable cunning with
which it is popularity accredited, he pro-
nounces it a remarkably stupid animal
This is conclusion based on original obser-
walton He asserts that the teigning death
of this animal, or playing 'possum," is not
voluntary act at all, but an involuntary
fainting fit. The assertion that it feigns
death involves the two postulates, that the
opossum realizes what death is and has dis
covered by experience some profit in the
trick. Mr.. Abbott considers its propensity
to swoon under the influence of fear 'emer-
ciful provision that destroys without pain
all sensation when it is about to be torn TO
pieces"

a1,lsl.etrg Fire Of the German Army.

The rapidity of execution of all the
German movements is marvellous, both in
the attack and in the defense, and so is
their precision even when seemingly most
disordered, thanks to the admirable
efficiency of their commissioned and nom
commissioned officers, without which such
a discipline of combat" would be i'm
possible. Very rarely does the company
commander abandon the direction
of firing, even when his men are
within the zone of short distances,
and, when that firing is most rapid,
always fixing the exact number of cart
ridges to be used by each man. And here
let me remark that file firing is with them
only employed exceptionally, in extreme
cases and for brief period of time; they
prefer volley firing. by the entire line, or
firing by sections, or platoons, and conse-
quently never waste their powder on an
enemy whom they can scarcely see. Like
the Austrians and Russians, they have lit
tie confidence in the efficacy of musketry
fire at distances greater than l, 200 yards,
and maintain that it really becomes deadly
within the distance of 700 yards; for
greater distances they rely entirely upon
their artillery.
