HARD FIGHTERS LAW.
Clients Dislike Being Told That Tn Il
Ca3ea Arc Pnnr

Cases Arc Poor.
Clients love hard fighter and the
onlookers are impressed with his ZEAL"
says Richard ID. Doyle in an article on
Law and Lawyers" in the Southern
Magazine. In my own experience l
have had cases where i advised my
clients not to sue because l was sure
they had no chance, and, although they
followed my advice, instead of employ
ing other counsel, they refused 10 pay a
reasonable fee and in one case left me to
pay the court costs. And have seldom
advised a client to compromise or SUBJ
NIT to arbitration that l did not dis
please him. 1t requires moral courage
to advise one against his inclinations,
but ii is sometimes a lawyers sacred
duty. Whatever may be said as to its
morality or true wisdom, yet must say
that | regard this aggressive and parti-
san spirit more conducive to modern
success than profound judgment. for l
have seen lawyers succeed chiefly by
reason of it in whom the logical faculty
was not at all conspicuous. In speak
ing of success, it will be observed that
do not mean the eminence of such men
as Erskine, Writ, Webster, William
Pinckney, Rufus Choate and Charles
O'Connor, but such success as is at
tanned by the leading members of the
bar in every town or city of the United
States, who have good practice, some
times very lucrative, though they ar,
unknown to fame and forgotten outside
of their neighborhood when they are
gone"

TEACHING DOGS TO ATTACK.
Most Singular Business of a Trainer
of Bulldogs.

of Bulldogs.
A most singular business is that of q
certain Herr Straus, of Berlin, who
trains mastiffs and bulldogs to attack
men in order to fit the brutes for pursuit
of and conflict with criminals, says an
exchange. He also trains dogs to do
tricks in exhibitions and for other pur-
poses, but the bulk of his business is of
the nature outlined in the previous SEN
tence. There is first a preliminary
training of a general nature, then the
dogs are put to work on life-size dunn
mics of men, which they are taught to
throw down, to drag about and to
watch. This is the most difficult Of Herr
Straus' work, since it includes training
the dogs not to lacerate the features of
the wax face of the dummy, but to cen
fine their by no means gentle attention
to the hard rubber collar of the dunn
my's coat. After dog has been taught
to handle a dummy properly ne is ex-
ercised upon living subject in the per-
son of a trained attendant who must
also, naturally, have a great deal of
nerve, strength and self-possession. At
first this attendant is obliged to wear a
leather or rubber collar similar to that
on which the dog has practiced with the
dummy, but after long training he is
able to substitute an ordinary cloth col
lar and when Herr Straus gets through
with the brutes they will skillfully at
tack and throw down man without in
juring him or his clothing. The mas
tiffs are more readily trained than the
bulldogs.

SCARE THE SONG BIRDS.
Bicycle Has Driven Away Everything
Emf the SparrONs.

Bnt the SparrOws.
Birds in the park?" said the old
South Park policeman, nav, not now.
There used to be lots of them, building
nests in every bush and singing on every
tree, but nowadays there's nothing but
sparrows Sometimes there's bird or
two that tries to nest, but they don t
stay long. The bicycles are too much
for Them
You see, it's like this he continued
to his interested listener, says the
Chicago Tribune. Before the BIZ
cyclists got SO numerous most of the
people in the parks and boulevards
stuck pretty well to the roads and
walks, and We're only around in the day
time. But since the bicycles have
brought us such crowds the whole place
IS entirely overrun with people, who find
every shady spot, walk around every
bush. and lean up against every tree.
Especially they make night into day,
and lucky. indeed, is the poor bird which
can find a roosting place that is not dis
turbsd by the presence of the omni-
present riders.
The result of this, in my observation,
has been the almost entire lack of the
little sonGbirds that used to make the
parks a pleasure to walk in during sum
mer There were orioles, thrushes, cat
birds and robins in the larger trees, and
quantities of yellow birds, fycatchers
and warblers in the bushes. In the fall,
when the leaves dropped there could be
counted nests in the bare limbs by the
hundreds. Nowadays the few nests you
see are principally sparrows'. Ugh.'
And the big policeman turned away dis
puStadly.

A Powerful Battle Shin.

The most formidable addition vet
made to our new navy is the battle ship
Iowa, which has recently had her official
trial off the coast of Massachusetts. She
is the first vessel officially classed as a
sea-going battle ship. AS compared
with the Massachusetts and her two sis
ter ships, the Iowa is of l 200 tons larger
displacement, and is one knot faster.
Her battery is OF about the same
strength as theirs, and her armor,
though not quite so heavy, is practically
as effective. The contract required of
her speed Of 16 knots an hour, and a
bonus of $4,000 was promised for each
quarter of a knot III excess of that limit
She made Il knots, and thus earned for
her builders, the Cramps, of Philadel-
phia, a bonus of $500, 900.

NEGRO PRODIGY.
Though Une ducntedI He Is n Lightning
Mathematician.


Robert Gardhire is negro, and an un-
educated one, but when it comes to fig
ures he can't be stopped by any mathe-
matician in the world, says the Angus
ia Chronicle. He is humble resident
of Augusta, and is employed as a la
borer at the Interstate Cotton Oil COM
pany. In multiplication Gardhire is
as quick as thought. Before the aver
age person can set the figures down
with a pencil Gardhire has given the
how he does it.
He was asked what was the sum total
of 90 times 67, and without repeating
the figures to himself Gardhire an
swered offhand: "6,663." How much"
asked one, lis sol times 52?" Without
stopping second Gardhire replied:
"16,032." And thus for over half an
hour numbers were thrown at him and
he gave the correct multiplication like
a flash. In the multiplication of frac-
tons the man is equally proficient,
and there seems no limit to his powers,
which are almost occult.
Gardhire cannot remember when he
first became aware of his power, and
does not even know how he discovered
it. He says that when the figures are
given to HIM he sees their answer i'm
medately. Simply by CHANGING at a
long line of figures he can tell imme-
lately what their sum is.

CONTRACTOR Duffy when he has bus
mess on hand will take no part in
amusements. 1t was with the utmost
difficulty the other contractors on the
lake front succeeded in getting him
up to Eighth street last Thursday to
witness circus parade. When he
was there, Duffy became much inter
ested ia the lion cage and went quite
close to it. He was cordially and
most Unexpectedly greeted bv the
large lion. 1t was a reception FOR
which he was wholly unprepared and
though ELUSIVE was not calculated to
awaken enthusiasm. Duffy is not
given to profanity, bnt on this coca
sion he went down deep into his mem
DRY to collect some of the cusswords
he used when a boy on stubbing his
toe. Soldiers when they fight their
first battle are said to have received
their baptism of fire. Duffy in his
encounter with the lion had his bap-
tism from the other element and bis
comrads now regard him as veteran.
He thinks lions are nasty animals.
