sacrlhces that Young Men Make In
the Hope of Fame and Fortune.
Considerably over 200 young men
are graduated annually from the law
schools of this city. The graduates
include not only the usual number Of
well-schooled young men with friends
to help them and perhaps means at
command, but as we'll q considerable
percentage of men who come to their
law studies without the advantage Of
q good grounding in English, Latin,
and the sciences, without money or in
fuential friends, and with wives and
children depending upon them for sup
port. Some Of these finish their law
studies at an age when most lawyers
have been from three to ten years in
practice.
As q matter of fact the law cor.
tinues to attract men here and else
where, in spite of statistics that prove
the average earnings Of lawyers to be
below those of skilled mechanics.
Men with families to support work all
day and pay from 10 to IS per cent Of
their incomes annually for the oppor-
tunfty of studying law at night. 9th
er men work all night for the oppor-
tunity OF studying law by day. Naval
officers stationed here sometimes
squeeze in law lectures along with
their duties to the government.
StenoRraphers, Office boys, newsboys,
and all sorts of hard working people
share the belief that q chance to prac-
tfce law is worth almost any sacrifice
Of time aud energy. Country folk still
say of any bright lad: HE ought to
be a lawyer" and the same belief In
the law as a profession seems to be
held by a great many New Workers Of
all sorts. 1t is held to be the profess
sion that leads to dignities and honors
to political success, and even to
wealth.-New York Sun.
The Right Philosophy.
1t is worth while for us all, even
when suffering pain to refrain from
frowning and wrinkling up u faces,
and saying impatient words. Every
passing thought and feeling write
themselves upon the ccuntenance, and
the. young girl is making day by day
not only the woman she will be in
character later on, but the woman she
will be in looks. Handsome or plain,
agreeable or opposite, the woman of
forty is dependent for her looks on tho
girl Of fourteen. You owe an amount
Of thought and consideration to the
woman you are going to be. and the
friends who will love her, and so you
must not let needless lines and fur
rows come to your pretty brows, but
keep your foreheads smooth, and do
not draw your lips down at the cor
ners, o go about looking unhappy.
1t is possible, ever when bearing
much pain, to wear q tranquil express
sion If one will, but remember that
the tranquil mind in the end can con
quer pain.
Crossing town the other day in haste
to catch q train. the horse-car was
three times blocked by great vans
which stood upon the track. 1 looked
about on my fellow-passengers. Some
had flushed and angry faces, some
could not sit still, but tapped the floor
with their feet. and uttered exclama-
lions, and looked at their watches.
One or two stepped out with their
bags and walked hastily onward. But
a dear old lady in the corner Of the
car was a pattern of sweetness and
amiability. and I heard her observe
to her neighbor. 1--WE will probably
lose our train, but at this time Of the
day there are trains every half-hour,
and it's never we'll to he put ont by
little accidents of this sort" She had
the right philosophy-uarper's Round
