A Woman and a Lawyer.

Speaking Of conscientious service on
| the part of a lawyer" said the citizen
who came to Detroit when young, and
is now past his threescore years and
ten, II want to tell you what was done
by one who always stood high in the
esteem Of the bar, and but recently
died. He had gone through college,
and taken his legal course with young
man who afterWard settled in an in
terror town Of Pennsylvania, where he
grew wealthy by looking after the legal
interests of mining and manufacturing
corporations. Part of the property left
his wife at his death consisted of three
thousand shares of railroad stock that
had cost but little and had been given
in return for professional work The
widow did not know what to do with
| this part Of the legacy, and so she sent
it to the Detroit friend of her late hus-
band, and asked him to dispose of it on
the best terms he could.
When the shares touched 70 he
wired her that he thought it time to
sell, and asked an immediate reply.
Woman-like, she wrote, instead of tele-
graphing, and in the meantime the law
yer concluded to sell, receiving a $210,-
when it arrived told him that the writer
had been informed that the stock was
likely to go to par, and that she pre-
ferred to wait. The lawyer succeeded
| in buying the stock back. Meantime
she received his letter telling what he
had done on his own notion, and she at
once replied that the sale was accept
able, and would he please forward the
proceeds. Here was dilemma, but
the lawyer had a conscience that was
as good as his friendship. He sold at
| 6T12, made up the $500 difference out
Of his own pocket, absolutely refused to
accept any commission from the wife
of his old churn, and sent her the full
$4,000, just as though the sale at 10
| had stood. The stock is now quoted
at 81. And yet the world has a way of
| laughing at the idea of honesty among
| lawyers. Detroit Free Press.

covering from the State the percentage
allowed tax collectors for collecting the
States share of public revenue. On
all sides the scheme is looked upon as
unbusinesslike and indefensible.
There is Just so much revenue to be
raised to maintain the State Govern
ment If the counties recover from
the State the sums claimed by reason
of the allowed percentage for collection
not having been deducted to the credit
of the counties, the State will be short
just that much money, and as matter
of course will collect from the people
through the county machinery the sum
necessary to replenish its strong box.
What sort of a dilemma will the coun-
ties then find themselves in? They will
have paid to the attorneys who are en-
gineering the scheme from 10 to 40 per
cent Of the sum recovered for their SER
vices, and having to make the state
treasury good once more, the counties
will find themselves out of pocket to
just that amount. 1t is simple prop
osition and the wonder is that it never
dawned upon Boards Of Supervisors.
Some idea of the gigantic dimensions
of the scheme to recover the alleged
dues to the counties may be gained by
considering what the sum of money in
volved is, and what the contingent fees
of the attorney firms who are working
up this business viii be. Up to and not
including the December settlements
with the State treasury, the sum in
volved and which is to be sued for if
suits have already been brought-is
81, 100000. That is, a million and a
half dollars are to be drawn from the
State treasury and paid over to the
counties for the work done by tax col
lectors in collecting the States revenue.
Including the December settlements,
not yet complete, the sum total will
reach the enormous figure of $1,750,O0O.
Now for recovering that sum the attor-
neys who discovered the scheme TO the
Boards Of Supervisors are to receive
certain percentages, varying from 70 to
90 per cent. It is safe to say, there
fore, that the compensation they will
receive for transferring State coin from
one pocket to another in the same gar
ment, will be S5OO,00O.
When, therefore-to repeat-this ST.
750 900 hole is made in the treasury, the
State will proceed to tax the people to
supply the deficiency, and so the tax
payers will put back the entire sum,
and in addition be out the $5O0,O00 the
attorneys have pocketed.
There is every reason TO believe that
the Supervisors have no right to enter
into these recovery contracts; that if
the matter is brought to a test, all
these contingent fee compacts are void.
Here now is an opportunity for the
Legislature early in the session to put
it's heel firmly down upon a gigantic
scheme to profit private pockets at the
expense Of the taxpayers purses.

Nothing Too Good for Him.

He is now among the honored and
wealthy citizens of the State, but is
entirely free from that false pride that
seeks to conceal the fact of poor but
honest parents
Nobody ever had better father

prelude to a story he tells. fThey
came out here from York State and he
was fortunate enough to get hold of
a big tract of pine, having native
shrewdness enough to know that il
would some time be in demand. About
the time I had gone through with the
educational advantages accessible at
home, he realized a handsome sum of
money, and vowed at once that I must
get the best education that was going.
He was a genuine worshiper of learn
ing, due largely to the fact that he
possessed so little knowledge acquired
in books.
They sent me to the university,
and the old folks used to sit and look
at me in admiration every time I went
home. When / was graduated and
some of the boys in my class arranged
to travel abroad, father was bound
that I should join them. When I came
back at the end of fifteen months,
father and mother would sit UP till all
hours hearing what I had to tell, and
then I had to send them to bed
"One day father called me aside,
and asked me what I liked best of
all that I had seen on the other side.

ing that 1 believed that I was most
impressed with the Egyptian Sphinx.
