How He Found His Profession,

Early biographical details need
not detain us long. We wish mere
ly to relate one incident in his ca
reer the browning act of his life
and one whose narration teaches
many lessons, the most obvious of
which is that, tly as a man may to
find a profession suited to his sup
posed astesand abilities, fate often
times takes the matter out Of his
hands, and disregarding all of his
preconceived ideas, thrusts him into
the very place for which he was de-
signed.
His boyhood was about equally
divided between books and play;
the books, however, were not as a
rule school-books, and his devotion
to play was also somewhat fitful.
As small boy he broke more toys
and required more new games in
month than would suffice to amuse
a whole convalescent ward of a
children's hospital; and as he grew
older it became evident that the
very diversity of his talents would
never permit him to give enough
attention to any one sport to be-
come a leader therein.
At college he distinguished him
self in many ways. He led his class
during the sophmore year, but
throughout the next term his de-
votion to the debates of his literary
society SO divided his attention that
he barely managed to secure a
speakers place for the junior ora
lions at commencement.
Great expectations were aroused
among his fellow students as to his
graduating speech, which wouldfol-
low g year later; but the next year
he went in for athletics, and with SO
much success that he graduated
near the head Of the base ball club,
and not far from the foot of his
class.
After graduating, he lost no time
in considering his future profess
sion. He began at once the study
Of medicine, but the dry bones of
anatomy afforded him no mental OIL
spiritual nutriment, while the disa-
greeable details Of physiology were
repugnant to his finer feelings.
He then taught school, and sue.

His mother was inclined about
this time to think that the world
was using her only son rather hard
ly, and advanced money enough to
set him up in business in his ma
tive town. He entered upon a mer-
camille career with small capital but
large ideas. His advertisements
were models of correct English, and
illustrated the advantages of a col
legiate training. Things went on
swimmingly for awhile, but it must
be regretfully confessed that the
swimming was mostly down stream,
and after some months of success

SO far nothing has been said of
his personality, nor is there much
need for this. Such men are near
ly always loveable. 1t is the use
full and not the ornamental traits
that are wanting in their make up.
They have enthusiasm to plan, and,
as far as it goes, ability to execute,
and only lack the final quality of
fixity of purpose or will to make
them continue to strive after the
first flush of their enthusiasm has
faded.
Not to follow his career too close
ly, it may be said that at the age Of
twenty-eight there was nothing tc

more comfortable weakness for hen

laughed together at the absurd sug-
gestion, but the idea stuck, and he
determined, if possible, to follow it
with notifications.
Here enters our heroine. Her
name was Margaret Western, a
next-door neighbor and a lifelong
friend. Indeed, on Willoughby's
part the feeling was stronger than
friendship Hehad longloved her,
and was only waiting to find his ca
reer that career which always
seemed to be just ahead of him
to ask her to share it with him.
Meanwhile his pride kept him ST.
lent, for Margaret was the only
child of a rich and proud old law
yer. If she loved him, she had
never shown it; if she knew the
state Of his feelings she had never
betrayed her knowledge, but had
always treated him with the easy
familiarity and frank comradeship
that are born Of long acquaintance,
and that her simpleand unaffected
nature made easy.
She was straightforward, intelli-
gent and independent, fond Of So
cial pleasures in moderation, but
caring more for books and art
And, finally, she was a beautiful
girl, in proof Of which no effort is

The introduction of testimony in the
suit brought by Jeanne Elisetache against
Miguel Samonset, for $4,000 damages,
for seduction under promise of mar
riage, was resumed before Judge McKin-
ley in department six yesterday morn
ing, and took up the entire day.
From the testimony introduced by
plaintiff it appears that the parties to
the suit. both of whom are Basques, be-
came engaged in the spring of 1889, and
in the latter part OF that year the couple
assumed intimate relations.
An agreement to marry was entered
into in October of the same year. Sam
onset went to France shortly after the
agreement was made, and during his alb
sence the girl brought the suit which is
now on trial.
Samonset admits having promised to
marry the plaintiff, but that he post
poned the marriage because he was in
very poor health. DR.. kirkpatrick was
called for the defendant and testified
that he treated him for dyspepsia and
liver trouble and that during the time
he was under treatment Miss Elisetache
frequently called at his Office and tried
to persuade witness to advise Miguel to
marry.
Other witnesses swore that the fair
plaintiff appeared very anxious to marry
Miguel and that during the time he was
sick she frequently called on him and
was very afectionate toward the man
from whonr she now seeks to obtain
$4,000 as balm for her broken heart.
Miguel is ready to marry the fair
Jeanne at any time and has so ex-
pressed himself repeatedly in letters he
wrote her while in France and also in
person. He has also signifed his will
ingness to lead her to the altar since the
case has been on trial, but Jeanne says
"No.' She will have none OF him be-
cause she believed him to have been un-
true to her. Even during the time he
claims to have been sick she alleges he
maintained illicit relations with another
woman.
The defendant closed his case in the
middle of the afternoon session and
plaintiff offered some testimony in re-
buttal on matters contained in Miguel's
letters to her which she claims were not
properly translated by the interpreter.
The case will go to the jury Monday.
