How Young Lawyers Fare In Establishing
u Practice.
Members of a firm Of lawyers who
try cases in the court Of general ses-
sions were seated in one of the court
rooms the other day telling stories of
their struggles when they first entered
upon the practice OF the profession that
requires so much attention and years of
patient work to attain success In
criminal law. especially. the fight for
bread is a hard one. To make the best
of it the fees are small, and unless a
big case of rich banker or merchant
gone wrong IS obtained, there is not
much Tin it" The thieves and bur-
glars as rule have little money to
spend for their defense. Indeed, very
many have none at all, and the court
is required to furnish an advocate for
them. They make many promises of
sending the first money they earn to
the lawyer. but the latter seldom de
rives benefit from such contingent fees.
To pay the Office rent is always the
hardest work for the beginner. Then
he has to dress fairly well to make .
good appearance in court The expert
ence of the lawyers in question was a
fair sample OF beginners trials. Their
plan was to watch for a client coming

sitting for long time-as long as they

There was no futter Of color beneath
her white skin, and the heavily-lashed
lids almost concealed the impatient
depths Of the eyes; the proud repose Of
the head indicated the reserve and self
control Of her nature. Over her white
gown and black dense hair she wore q

The authorities of the City of Mexico
yielded to public clamor and da tarmined
to cast silver bell in honor of the
slaughtered captain and his mea. The
casting was to take place in the great
plaza before the cathedral, that all
might attend: it was long since any
episode OF war had caused such excite

tect the building OF the mission Of San
Gabriel The Indian workmen were
slugs; California, q vast region inhab-
tied only by savages and a few priests,
offered slender attractions to q young
officer craving the gay pleasures Of his
capital and the presence of the woman
he was to marry. For months he had
watched the mission church mount
slowly from foundation to towers,
then spread into pillared corridors and
rooms for the clergy. he could have
mapped in his mind every acre Of the
wide, beautiful valley girt by noun
taiHs showed on their crests He had
thought 1t all very lovely at first, the
yellow atmosphere, the soft. abiding
warmth, the blue rejecting lake; but
the green on mountain and fiat had
waxed to gold, then waned to tan and
brown, and he was tired. Not even a
hostile Indian had come to be killed.
He was very good looking, this
tall young Spaniard, with his
impatient eyes and naughty, in
telligent face, and it is pos
sible that the lady in Mexico had added
to his burden by doleful prayers to re-
turn. He took letter from his pocket,
read it half through, then broke! from
himself and walked rapidly over to the
mission, seeking interest in the work
Of the Indians. Under the keen, mer-
CHESS supervision of the padres-the
cleverest body of men who ever set
foot in America-they were mixing and
laying the adobes, making nails and
tiles, hewing aqueducts, faahioniUg
great stone fonts and fountains De la
Tore specialized, after his habit, upon
the future of a country so beautiful
and so fertile, which dozen priests
had made their own. Would these In
dams, the poorest apologies for human
beings he had ever seen, the LATEST
and the dirtiest, be Christianized and
terrified into worthy citizens Of this fair
land? Could the clear white flame that
:: burned in the brains of the padres
strike fire in their neophytes' narrow
skulls, create soul in those grovelling
bodies? He dismissed the question.
Would men of race, tempted by the
loneliness of this great gold-haired
houri sleeping on the Pacific, come
from old and new Spain and dream
away life of pleasure? What grapes
would grow out of this rich soil to be
crushed by Indian slaves into red winel
And did gold vein those velvet hills?
How all fruits, all grains, would thrive!
what superb beasts would fatten on
