a Dangerous View of Life.

We arc constantly confronted Tith
the fact that neither material advan-
tages nor Intelligence nor education nor
even good moral record is proof
against disIoyalty to life. Many causes
are adduced, grief, shame, remorse, de-
spair being among the most numerous.
But perhaps the foundation cause
which underlies all others may be said
to be the common habit of thinking that
life is to be valued only for the happi-
ness it yields, Many people grow up
with the idea that if personal life be
not personally happy is useless Thus,
when they come to some epoch when
sorrow triumphs over joy, failure over
success, pain over pleasure, life loses all
meaning to them and is easily parted
from. This view of life is essentially
untrue and most injurious. New York

PRACTIClNG LAW.


The Judge Says 1t Is Absolutely Devoid
of Amusement.
"There's 10 more fun in the practice
of law" observed the judge as he soft
" brushed away the film of soft ashes
from the live end Of his cigar. Thirty
years ago, when we used to impeach all
the witnesses on the other side and 1--we
two or three fights every noon recess, it
was worth while to be in the profess
sion.
81 read in my old home paper yester
day that Bill Traynor was dead. There
was character Did l ever tell you the
story about him?
"Bill once sat on jury in one of my
first cases. 1t was an assault and bat
terry case. The trouble came up over the
attempt to build fence across high
way There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses. The trial
was held at the home of the justice of
the peace, a claphoard little house right
out i'll cornfield. We couldn't find IL
men in the township, so we agreed to a
jury Of six. The Justices wife stood in
the doorway during the trial and die
tated all the rulings
"They didn't make any case against
us-my partner and ! appeared for the
defcnse-but we knew the jurymen
wanted their fees, and they wouldn't
get any if the defendants won. So we
were not very hopeful.
'The six jurymen went out into the
cornfield to deliberate. They We're gone
about two hours and then brought i'll a
verdict Of guilty and fined each of the
defendants 50 and costs. The jury was
about to be discharged when my partner
jumped up and said to one of the jury
men: Say, who are you? l don't re-
member seeing you before Then the
foreman spoke up and said: That's all
right. Bill Traynor couldn't wait He
went off home, and we got Joe here to
take his place.
That's fact. Bill had put in a
substitute on the jury after they got out
in the corntieid. The justice said IT was
all right anyway, so long as there was
a majority of the jury present, but l
got up and threatened to sue him on his
bond, so he got scared and set aside the
verdict and discharged our clients.
''After | came on the bench Bill
Traynor was up before me for stealing
the jury rather favorable to him, and
he was acquitted. You see. [ had IA
friendly feeling for him because he had
helped me to win one of my first cases. :"
