very front and head of an honorable pro-
fession, being the first lawyers of the land;
they have nothing 10 do but render decis-
ions upon cases argued before them. and
they are certain of $4,000 year as long
as they live"
Your argument is all right as far as 1t
goes" rejoined the elder, but you have
forgotten to state the principal PROPOSE
ton. As a matter of fact, there is not n
more industrious body of professional men
in this country than the United States
Supreme Court, and there are few lawyers
who have TO work as hard and as contin-
uously as the members of this court. Their
lives are anything but easy, as any one
who is informed upon the matter can tell
you. Their duties are exceedingly respon-
sible, to begin with. as immense business
interests are often involved, as well as
grave matters of state. and are practical
ly continuous. requiring the most assidu-
Gus application, deep study and painstak-
ing research.
'''rhe question of the $4,000 u year does
not weigh in the matter at all, for any one
| of them could earn five times the sum in
legal practice, which would not take one
twentieth the time he now devotes TO his
duty. The honor of the position, the pride
they take in filling it conscientiously, and
the realization of the service they perform
for their country and the profession is
doubtless compensative to them, and fur
nishes sufficient inducement for retaining
their positions, but do not for a moment
delude yourself that their lives are easy

The old lawyer was right; very few peo-

Blank begins. He is required to consider
and digest the argument made by the at

to be very hard work for the members of
the court. not half so hard, apparently,
as for the anxious and agitated member
of the bar haranguing them. But this is
only the smallest part of their daily life.
The immense number of cases on the
| docket Of the Supreme Court and under
argument require them to work early and
late out of court.
Promptly at II o'clock noon the business
of the Supreme Court begins. The erier
raps for order, and the members of the
bar and the visitors within the chamber
rise to their feet as he announces the entry
OF the court. Slowly the members file in,
with funereal tread, robed in their volum-
inous gowns of black silk, the chief justice
at the head of the cortege. They take
their places behind their chairs, and the
crier continues:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez. all persons having
business before the Supreme Court of the
United States are admonished to draw
near and give their attention, for the
court is now sitting. God save this hon
orable court"
With that the chief justice and his asso-
ciates bow gravely to the bar, who in re-
turn make respectful obeisance, and all
hands sit down, the visitors in the cham

Then the case to be argued is called and

issue. setting forth the nature of the case
and the grounds upon which il is brought

for the consideration of this tribunal is
required to be in printed form. The argu-

rarely any high-fown oratory attempted,
for there is no jury to be influenced and
the attorney must stick close TO facts. AT
