valuable Advice From the Bench.

4 country justice had been elected
but a few days, when young lawyer
rushed in and demanded a capias. Now,
that Justice did not know capias from
a police cell, but he disliked to admit
his ignorance. So he said:
Now, see here, my friend. You are
a young lawyer and. l fear, lack expe-
rience. l would advise you not to be
too hasty. Don't be in hurry. Wait
"a hours and then, if you think best,
come to me, and | will give you ca
pias."
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The justice spent the remainder
of the day getting acquainted with the
writ called capias. When the limb of
the law appeared the next morning, the
court felt himself qualified to issue ca
phases by the bushel.
Before he could speak, the young law
yer said:
"Mr. Justice, you were right. l was
too hasty. l have that matter fixed up
all right and do not need a oapias. l
have come to thank you for the good
advice, and also have brought you the
So fee you would have received for the
capias, as don't want you to lose by
your good deed"
He went away believing the justice
to be paragon of good sense and le-
gal ore.-Chicago Times-Herald.

What Lincoln Had Learned.

agement to readers who have sometime:

had supposed themselves well informed.
In February, 1866, Mr.. Blair was
present at White House reception, q
general reception, open to everybody.
Mr.. Lincoln was attended by Judge Da.
vid Davis, who took the names of all
Corners and introduced them to the
president.
OF course there was crowd, and no
body had time for more than a wore
and handshake. Mr.. Blair was pre-,
sented to the president, and then step.
ped aside to watch the show. Mr.. Lin.
coin and Judge Davis carried ON con.
versation, constantly interrupted though
it was.
"Now," says Mr.. Blair, sit wa:

boy (this to young soldier) or 1 an
glad to see you, or some other phrase
of cordial recognition.
There was no official starch, but what
especially impressed Mr.. Blair was re

Properly Qualified Teachers.

The facts, in my opinion, will admit
of only one conolusion-viz, that in
teaching the results are not determined
by the methods employed, but by the
ability of those who use them. In other
words, the first place must be given to
the personal equation of the teacher,
while methods and devices play only a
subordinate part. 1t seems to me, there
fore, that the evils now ascribed to I'M
controllable circumstances should be at
tributed in large part to lack on the
part of the teacher of those qualifica-
lions which are essential to success.
Consequently when reasonable de-
mands are not met within reasonable
time limit we are justified in inferring
that the fault lies with the teacher and
not with the pupils.
An instructive experience once en-
countered will serve to illustrate this
point. On leaving classroom in which
] had heard few recitations l compli-
mented the teacher ON the intelligence
of her pupils. She replied: "You must
not give me credit for that These chill
dren are Russians, and one can do any
thing with Russians" 1t so happened
that on the next day visited class
room in which the children were ex-
ceptionally dull. On this occasion the
teacher remarked: "You must not
blame me for their stupidity. My pupils
are Russians, and one cannot do anything
with Russians. DIR. ]. M. Rice in
