ATTORNEY AND CLIENT.
lawyers: Are Hampered by Those Who
Employ Them.

Employ Them.
Suppose every prospective litigant
were to relieve himself of all manner of
blame before seeking the services of a
lawyer, were to apologize if an apology
was called for, pay money if money
were due, confess and plead guilty if
he had done a wrong or. committed
crime, and, having exhausted every
effort of the kind that nice sense of
honor would demand, suppose he were
still compelled to go to law to obtain
or protect his rights; what would the
result be if he should lay the matter
fairly before his attorney, and say: 81
want this case tried openly and honor,
ably. l don't want suspicion of UNI,
fairness or prejudice or undue advant-
age of any kind to attach to it in any
way?" Why, the result would be that
The attorney would obey instructions
and do SO cheerfully, writes Homer
Greene in the North American Review.
And if the opposing attorney were sim
ilarly instructed, what an unusual and
refreshing spectacle there would be in
court when. that case should come on
for trial? Yet there are few attorneys
who would not rather, and far rather,
conduct cause after this fashion than
with the usual concealment, evasion,
exaggeration and strained logic, if only
they could be satisfied of the approvalof
their client and the appreciation of the
public,

A GIANT ALBUM.
~ Is Two Feet Square and Was Made for
an Indian Prince.


an Indian Prince.
A veritable leyiathan of photograph
albums has just been manufactured by
an English firm for wealthy Indian
Prince. The volume is not only got up
IN most luxurious fashion, being
bound in smooth, dark-blue Russia
leather and lined with, pure. white
watered silk; it is huge in its dimen-
sions, measuring some two feet square
and six inches in thickness, and also
unique in its purpose, being filled with
fifty panel portraits of the reigning
monarchs of the world, their consorts
and the, next heirs, to the various
thrones.
At the top of each page the name of
the country is blazoned in red and gold,
and at the foot the name of the sub
jects-if one may term monarchs and
their heirs-apparent subjects even in a
Photographic sense. The whole thing
is quite remarkable production in its
way, and as handsome as it is uncom-
mon.
The same firm has also just coll
lected cabinet of. current coinage of
the world for the same potentate, the
examples including the largest gold and
silver coin respectively of each,country.
The Prince for whom these unique
productions have been made is the same
parsonage who presented the Duke of
Clarence and Avondale with a,gold Gig
arctic case, mounted with the tusks of
the first wild boar killed by the Duke
during his recent Indian tour.

| step further than other transportation COM
| panies when it resolved to show two elegant
cars, especially built for the purpose, con-
| tanning samples of products gathered from
the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and

prompted to make this display because the
completion of its transcontinental line

possible. Had it not been for the enter

ayers of the Northern Pacific railroad,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington would still be frontier territories in
habited by Indians and wild beasts, instead
of being progressive and prosperous COM
monwealths. The products exhibited by
the seven states are handsomely arranged
and include all kinds of grams in the straw;
threshed grains and seeds, fruits and ber-
ries; wild and cultivated grasses; ores,
woods, iron and coal; precious metals and
stones: hops, tobacco and fax; flour, wool
and fish; tanning bark and tanning acid;
marble, building stone, potter and brick;
aerated, dried, preserved and canned
fruits; vegetables, petritied woods, fine
mineral specimens, etc, etc. In the season
of fresh apples, pears, plums, cherries,
roots and garden vegetables will be brought
from the northwestern states, daily, for ex-
hibition In short, the exhibit comprises
general collection of all kinds of products
to show the diversified resources of the
seven great northwestern states traversed
by the Northern Pacific railroad.
Visitors who intend to invest money IN
the northwest are reminded by attractive
placards that the company still retains con-
troll of immense tracts of land in that terri
tory, the exact figures being as follows:
Minnesota, loo, 1000 acres; North Dakota,
6,S5O,O00 acres; Montana, IL 300, 600 acres;
Idaho. 100000 acres; Oregon, Box, 600 acres;
and " ashington, s, zoo, 900 acres.
The two exhibit cars are marvels Of the
car builders art. They are vestibuled; have
large bay windows reaching from floor to
roof; are decorated with ornamental woods
from the forests along the Northern Pa
cific, and are in themselves an exhibit
worthy of thoughtful inspection. The cars
are placed on one of the tracks in the large
annex to the TRANSFORMATION building.
