One of the pleasantest trips that can
now be made during the winter is to go
by one of the new line of steamers lately
established between New York and
italy, through Gibraltar and the Medi-
terrauean. Either from Gibraltar or
from an Italian port the tourist can
branch into unusual lines of travel
This tour promises to be the fashionable
winter journey now for several years to
come. Other perhaps still more charm
ing winter trips are those to Florida and
some of our own southern states. Many
most beautiful winter resort bushes
unseen in the southern states, particu-
larly along the coast of the gulf. A lit
tie money and enterprise would do
wonders in revealing these to the world.
They would be more enjoyable than
Italy in winter, for there IL is almost
impossible for an American to get fuel
enough to keep himself wsrm, 90 eco
nomical are the Italians in their notions
of wood and coal burning.

to name my fee said: Senator, let me
tell you little story A young brother
lawyer came to me the other day in a
great quandary as to how much he
should charge a certain client for
highly successful piece of legal work
that he had done. At first told him to
go somewhat by the feelings of the
client regarding the good the latter had
reaped. Having said this named five
hundred dollars to my young friend.
Well, when his client appeared he was
