1t IS shame the way some men are i'm
posed upon, especially small men Eman-
uel Cohen is a small man, but big lawyer,
in his line, and Frank Shaw and Stanley
kitchel are tall men and his partners. Mr.
Cohen has been bald for long time, though
quite young man yet, glaringly bald on the
top Of his head, and, being an unassuming
man, he does not try to conceal it. The
members of the bar look back to
the time when those two tall partners,
in the early days of their partnership. when
Injuries were not as plentiful rs now used

their hair was parted or not, with the words

People often wonder who the very small.
neatly dressed man with the black mustache
and dark complexion. with tall silk hat to
help out AiSS dimensions, iS-a man who
drives neat little team of ponies, that he can
uncheck without stepladder. with a buggy
to match. That's Charles NJ. Green, ana he
has his Office on the second floor of lumber
any shorter by the compression of air in go
ing higher on the elevator, and he is one of
the busiest men in the building. He sees
a way through everything-pr probably it is
easier for him to see q way through Il place
for himself than it is for Grover Cleveland
or Nj y0r Babb considering that the way
doesn t need to be SO large.
There is a gentleman whom every one who
frequen is Nicoilet avenue knows, but there
are few men who know his name, and of all
the little men in Minneapolis, he is, prob
ably. the smallest. His name is Joseph 2.
Wallace, and he is business from the soles of
his number one shoes through the entire
three feet and a little over OF his height,
and people who know HIM say he is worth
his weight in gold. and that is saying good
deal despite the fact that his weight can be
much over fifty pounds. Now tharc is a
story circulated of how Mr. Wallace one
evening was missing from his place on the
high stool at the desk i'll Dyers music store
and this is Il rare thing Tor he is almost always
there aud at business, and was only found
on lifting big bass horn from the counter,
where it had been placed by a German Gus
toner, after trying it with the bell mouth
toward the little gentleman 5 stool. But Mir.
Wallace denies this, firmly asserting that it
merely blew him out Of the window. and
that it took him some time to come III from
Thirteenth street.
F. ". Booth is another big lawyer and
small man that locates i'll lumber exchange.
He also prefers the second floor. lie is not
seen at the court house SO much as formerly,
as he finds it difficult to break in all the
new judges to observing him. lie hates to
climb on the table, and so finds a large practice
outside of the courts. He thinks that if lie
could get some laTge-s1Ze university gradu-
ate who wanted to practice Law for partner,
he might go to the courts again. fer he has n
