not accept as final what "the forces of CONS

He does not accept 1t as the true popular

which the members of the bar would talk
over and relate while together, but there
were some marked traits, some pronounced
facts that should not be allowed to escape
notice MIR. Bull was a man Of restless
energy and of great determination. He was
not an imitator, but had his own thoughts
and convictions, and was steadfast to them
When once he was convinced, he was very
positive in his argument He was as faithful
to the interests of his clients as to his own,
for he made their case his own and acted
upon il with the same force AMI energy that
he would bestow upon matter OF vital In
terest to himself In this respect his vehe-
mence was great and at times, when his tenn
per was aroused, he said things which were
sometimes unpleasant and which overstepped
the bounds of propriety. But outside the
court room, WREN the battle was over and the
cold light Of reflection shone upon his action,
the admiration for the man was increased
and friendship re-cemented. Thcse outside
the profession Of the law cannot understand
the relation of the lawyer and client and of
the members of the bar to one another.
While on the opposite sides, the members of
the bar are sometimes bitter and angry, but
outside, when the smoke has cleared away,
they seemed cemented together by new
bond Of friendship. So it was with Mr.,
Bull.
He was no, an orator in the accepted sense

A BabeF'S Good Advice,

It is a mistake to change the way or
style of com1ing your hair, remarked a
barber. A man should decide early in
life which way be is going to arrange his
hair or beard, and keep it that way for
life. It should be q mark he could be
distirg uished by as well as any feature in
his face. 1t ls wrong to cultivate a
"pompadour" in summer time aud wear
the hair plastered on the head the rest of
the year. When the uirne comes to make
the change, the course of the hair has
been changed at the roots, and the hair
will not lie down. If cut short. it will
stand out like porcupine quilts; and again.
when the ''pompadour" is being cultivated
tue wearer is liable to tire of it before it
is mastered. You will always find that
the men who plaster their hair on their
heads become bald before the men who
wear pom paGours" or "nalf rompa
dours," for the reason that the air does
not get to the scalp and the roots of the
hair die for the want of it. A scalp
plastercd with hair never perspires, and
headaches follow. Anyone subject to
headaches can overcome them very easily
it be will but rub his scalp gently and
thoroughly every morn ng and evening
and as many times during the day as
possible. 1t causes a circulation of the
blood, creates e heat that draws perspir-
alton, accompanied by natural air, which
feeds the roots of the hair and the hair
itself. Get 10 the habit of doing this and
you will surprise yourself If you con-
tinue this the flow of natural oil will be
so plentiful that pomades of every kind
can be dis pensed with.
