Apropos of the current discussion
about college men in literature, it Is
we'll to consider the achievements of
Owen Wister, Charles F. Lummis, and
of Harvard of the years 1882, 1881, and
1880, respectively. and who are all
about thirty-tive years old Mr.. Wister
bids fair to become eminent through
his tales of Western and Southwestern
life. Mr.. Lummis has done we'll on the
outskirts of the same territory, and Mr.
Roosevelt might have become a good
historian If politics had not diverted
his attention from literature. In an
era of fewer printing presses and less
literary aspiration their work would
have much more attention than it has.

Of the lawyers. know an instance
where three lawyers employed by
receivership, were retained by one OF
the receivers to defend him against
charge Of misconduct in the manage

900 apiece as their fees and took the
money out Of the treasury OF the DARK
rupt corporation they were regularly
serving as attorneys. l know anotner
case of lawyer being employed to at
tend to little business connected wnn
the transfer of the ownership OF gas
company. His services would have
literally compensated with $5OO. He
had lot of securities In his hands anu
he put in a bill for $10,666. and got the
money before he would give up tho
securities. Another case came to my
notice lately OF the same sort OF iegai
robbery. A jobbing house sent out
collection to a lawyer In Montana Tor
$1,000. The lawyer brought suit, col
lected the money and kept 1t all, send
ing in bill for $1,000 for his services.
On smaller scale, but in the same line.
Is case in this city. A firm gave
lawyer bill OF SITS to collect. He col

report on 1t. After number Of letters
had been sent him asking him to call
and settle he sent in bill for $500 for
collecting the SITS. Many eminent
lawyers. avowedly scale their fees to
the amount Of work involved. Apply
this theory OF compensation to the
medical profession and a doctor who
saves a mans life would be warranted
in taking large share OF the property.
1t takes no more brains and no more
experience to be a good lawyer than to
be good journalist. yet the good
lawyer ordinarily charges thousand

its hot breath was exhaled into Jake's

throat from being torn open, while he

down by his side and still looking his
captor straight in the eye slowly
turned the rifle till its muzzle faced
the lion. The bullet passed through Its
heart and it sank on Jakc's feet Be-
fore he could move from his helpless
position the other lion bounded over the
precipice and somewhat overlapping Its

ceived bullet in its brain. The two
lions lay dead not ten feet apart.
