1t is shame the way some men are i'm
posed upon, especially small men. Eman-
uel Cohen is Il 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 a 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
luxuries were not as plentiful as now used
: to look down on the top of their partners
head, as they left the office, to see whether
their hair was parted or not with the words
ringing i'll their ears. necessity is the mother
of invention" They have looking-glass
now.
People often wonder who the very small,
neatly dressed man with the black mustache
and dark complexion. with a tall silk hat to
help out hist dimensions, is-a man who
drives neat little team of ponies, that he can
uneheck without a stepladder. with q buggy
to match. That's Charles NJ. Green, ana he
has his Office on the second floor of lumber
exchange so he would not.be pressed down
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
way through verything-probably it is
easier for him to see way through place
for himself than it is for Grover Cleveland
or Nj yor Babb considering that the way
doesnt 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 z.
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't be
much over fifty pounds. Now there is a
story circulated of how Mr.. Wallace one
evening was missing from his place on the
high stool at the desk i'll Dyer's music store
and this is q rare thing Tor he is almost always
there aud at business, and was only found
OH lifting a big bass horn from the counter,
where 1t had been placed by a German Gus
toner. after trying it with the bell mouth
toward the little gentlemau'S 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 i'll from
Thirteenth street.
T. ". Booth is another big LAWYER and
small man that locates i'll lumber exchange.
He also prefers the second floor. He is not
seen at the court house so much as formerly,
as he finds il difficult to break in all the
new iudges to observing him. lie hates to
climb on the table, and so fluids large practice
outside of the courts. He thinks that if he
could get some laTge-sIZe university gradu-
ale who wanted to practice law for partner,
he might go to the courts again. fer he has
mans size of voice. as well as q mans size of
head.
Maj. William Buckley is not much bigger
than fourteen-year.old boy, but can grind
a lead pencil in spicy reading matter With
the best of 'em.
c. n. Dickey. of the district court, Will
never be drafted into the army, but what
there is of him goes Il long way, and he
knows the routine of the clerks office like
book.
E. S. Corser, the real estate man, is one of
4the big little men OF the town. and sees
good speculation long distance Off.
Tommy Leftwitch, the municipal court
practitioner. is so fat that he really looks
sbroader than ne is tall. He puts on enough
dignity, however, for a full grown man.
Lac Stafford. of the Manhattan combine.
has never been known to speculate on
change for fear he might get caught short
on the market.
