woman's Fitness For the Law.

The vantage ground Of the true lawyer
is not the noisy forensic arena, but his
private Office, in whose seclusion he con-
suits authorities, analyses facts and
carefully weighs the evidence bearing
ON his case. Realizing the dignity of his
profession and his responsibility as Il
man Of honor, he aims, through wise
counsels, to prevent litigation rather
than TO promote it. AS Blackstone de-
fines the law, it is
"a science which distinguishes the
criterions of right and wrong; which
tends to establish the one and prevent,
punish or redress the other; which EN-
ploys in its theory the noblest faculties
Of the soul and exercises in its practices
the cardinal virtues of the heart; sci
ence which is universal in its use and
extent, accommodated to each individ-
ual, yet comprehending the whole com
munity."
Judged in this light, it is suitable
vocation for women. Especially fitted
for her are those branches of the profess
sion which do not necessitate appearance
in the courts. For the office work, the
most important work of the jurist, she
can fit herself just as well as man. AS
counselor she would be oftenest sought
by women, who have horror of confid-
ing their legal crosses and difficulties to
a lawyer of the sterner sex. In the bust
ness Of drawing up briefs, abstracts,
deeds, mortgages, etc., women can at
tain the same facility as men.
In several of the states of the Union
women are now eligible for admission
to the bar. The enormous exactions of
the profession will prevent its ever being
crowded by the physically weaker sex,
but those who have q taste for hard
study, who possess that power of con-
centrated thought and that clearness of
vision which constitute what is called
the legal mind-those who are willing
to work, and whose mental qualifca-
tions are backed by robust physical
health-need not hesitate to enter the
leagl profession. The woman possessing
these traits, and with them a persever-
ance that laughs at difficulties and
patience content to wait, if need be,
long years for success, really has the
requisites that make the first class ju-
rist. Minneapolis Tribune.
Mrs. Henrotin on the Club Movement.
Mrs. Henrotin, in her annual address
to the general federation, said Of wom-
ems clubs:
1.-THE woman's club movement has
been one of the educational factors of
the century. Woman, being above all
practical, desired to put in action some
of the many theories in which she had
become interested, and most of the clubs
began work on philanthropic lines, and

most attractive presence. She has de-
lighted her family and her intimate
friends by her readings for some time
past and has now decided TO make pub
lie use of her talents. As a fitting, her
favorite selections are from her fathers
works. She reads his poems with great
sympathy and delicate appreciation

Paid For the Pleasure.

During journey Of the Emperor Jo-
seph III to Italy the wheels of his coach
broke down on the road, so that it was
with difficulty that he reached small
village Mt a short distance. On his ar
rival there his majesty got out at the
door of the only blacksmith shop in the
town and desired him to repair the
wheel without delay. "That / would
do willingly, replied the smith, "but
it being holiday all my men are at
church. The boy who blows the bellows
it not at home."
"An excellent method then presents
of warming oneself" replied the en-
peror, who was unknown to the smith,
and he set about blowing the bellows
while the blacksmith forged the iron.
The wheel being repaired, 9 soils were
demanded for the job, but the emperor
gave ducats.
The blacksmith returned them to the
traveller, saying, "Sir, you have made
a mistake, and. instead Of 0 soils, have
given me pieces of gold which no one
in the village can change"
Change them when you can," said
the emperor. stepping into the carriage
IAN emperor should pay for such q
pleasure as that of blowing the bellows. -

LAssolNG REQUIRES SKILL.
One Man Thought 1t Was Easy and Los
Thumb.


II lost that thumb by knowing too
much," said the old stockman, in an
swer to query. 81 was nothing but
tenderfoot, but I thought because [ could
rope a calf in corral that | could do
anything any one else could.
THE first day that l went out with
my rawhide RATA on my saddle some of
the men commenced trying to tell me
how to rope a steer and how to take u
turn around the horn of the saddle with
the RATA when / wanted to hold him,
but told them guessed I knew how
to do it, and I'm thumb shy in consc-
quencc.
81 chucked the rope on steer as he
was running and quickly wound the
RATA around the horn Of the saddle.
There was jerk, the steer went down,
and my thumb was crushed to a pulp.
l had, in taking a turn with the riata
around the horn, unwittingly got my
thumb between the rope and the POM
mel. When it tigbtened lost my thumb.
"When cowboy holds loop in his
right hand, ready to throw, his thumb
is pointing from him. After the throw
it is natural for him to let the riata
slide through his hand from his little
finger toward his thumb but if he at
tempts to wind it around the saddle
horn in that way it is 10 TO 1 that he
will get his thumb tangled up as did.
After the throw he has to let go of the
RATA entirely, seize it again, and as he
winds it around the saddle horn let it
slip through his hand from his thumb
toward his little finger. Just recollect
that and it may save you thumb. -

around it is rope ladder, made of
strong material and about 10 feet in
length. The ladder is only wide enough
for one foot TO be placed on the rounds.
The extending stick was used to raise
one end of the ladder to the window
through which the operator wished to
enter, and on one end of the ladder are
two hooks to be fastened to the sill. The
contrivance was taken from colored
burglar named James Moore, who is
now serving out a 20 years sentence in
the Albany penitentiary for housebreak
ing
Moore was first arrested about ten
years ago. 1t was then that he made use
of the ladder to gain admittance TO the
houses that tempted him. He was an
old sailor, and while on board ship he
learned the art of making and splicing
rope. Entering the field of crime, he
conceived the idea of the rope ladders.

BAD BILLS BREAK.
It Was n Sensational Fenture and Shut UT

the Whole Revival.
Bad Bill was well known charac-
ter in the west, and there are many
stories told of his exploits, but one of
the best has never been printed, and
was related to reporter by man who
was present when it occurred.
Great Bend, Kan, now one of the
best towns in the state, was at one time
about the worst That was when it was
railroad terminus before Dodge City
was established.
A travelling evangelist went to Great
Bend and tried to start revival. There
We're few Christians in town, and
these all attended the first meeting, the
only one of the unregenerate present be-
ing Bad Bill, who took front seat.
Every one feared trouble when he walk
ed into the church, but he sat quietly
during the exhortation. The evangelist
requested all who wantsd to go to hea-
ven to stand up, and every person pres
ent except Bill arose. When they were
seated again, Bill got up, and, drawing
two pistols, said:
You say you want to go to heaven.
Now, anything can do to help this
game along and give pleasure to the
players, I'm in for You all want to go
to heaven, and I'll give you as good a
chance as you'll ever have. The first
man that gets up I'll give him ticket
clean through, without any stop overs "
The evangelist crawled under n seat
and the members of the congregation
laid on the chairs
"Wcll, said Bill, 81 see you wasn't
in earnest, so Wen put out the lights
and call this meeting adjourned. One
by one he shot out the lights, and by
morning the evangelist was on his way
to Hutchinson, while the members of
the congregation kept quiet and made

Quixotry.

QuiXote is at least interesting, and
even amusing More than this, he is Of
practical service. His daring unreason-
ableness stirs up stagnating waters and
relieves the gray monotony of common
sense Perhaps we regard him with the
pity that is akin to contempt, and call
him fanatic, enthusiast ; but so have we
called the prophets that were before him.
Enthusiasm now is rather out of fash
ion, like duels and hard drinking; and
to call a man enthusiastic is almost as
great an insult us to call him genteel
And so we look askance at Quixotry,
because it is not the mode" But per-
haps we rather ought to weep that it is
so much thing Of the past, and cherish
those few instances of it that remain
not only because of its artistic value
but because where the more sober thinker
fails, the Quixote is often of service.
Like an inferior soprano, he will be
heard by his much screaming, and moth
ing is ever done without scream.
We have Mr.. BUNDLES statement that
the public is "a hass," and it is only
too apt to stand between its proverbial
two bundles of hay and taste neither.
1t takes good deal to wake it from that
deep, sweet slumber in which it habitu-
ally lies, dreaming that it is doing some
thing, fighting old battles over again,
instead of bestirring itself about new
ones. Most progress, and especially po-
litical progress, is q series of compro.
misses. No party gets as much as it
wants. but each is drag upon the other.

ENGLISH CAVE JEWELLERS.

Evidences of Them Found In the Region
Made Merry by Robin Hood.
The town Of Nottingham is 1874 miles
north of London. A part of the town is
on low lying ground close to the river
Trent, where floods sometimes occur,
but the rest of the town is built on u
series Of red sandstone hills IL is sit
uated on the southeastern fringe of the
great Derbyshire coal field, and the
historic forest of Sherwood formerly
spread almost up to the city walls.
Now this forest has. in great measure,
been cut down, and this has reduced the
rainfall, raised the temperature and
rendered the climate of the town drier
and more bracing than il used to be.
The mean annual rainfall is now 25
inches and the temperature AZ degrees.
AS sandstone is soft and easily cut it is
only natural that the early dwellers in
caves came and lived in holes dug in
the hills Of Nottingham, particularly
as the forest close at hand was good

are occasionally found, and the first
name known to have been given to the
place was Snotingaham. This in Celtic
means "the home among the rocks. !"
Afterward it became one of the towns
of the kingdom of Mercia, and in the
ninth and tenth centuries was one Of
the five chief northern strongholds of

and preferred life of brigandage to
submission. The holes dug in the rocks,
the passages made through the sand
stone mountains, enabled these bold for

town and close under the Norman bat
