CROP SEASON is BACKWARD.
South Is From Two to Three Weeks
Late Except In Texas

South Is From Two to Three Weeks
Late Except I'm Texas.
Washington, April 1.-The weather bu-
reau crop report for the month Just pass
ed says:
Upon the whole, the season is back
ward at the close of March, the month
having been very unfavorable for farm
ing operations. In the Dakotas, Nebras-
ka, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, the
ground is frozen to an unusual depth. the
frost extending 10 a depth from five to ten
feet I'm North Dakota and Minnesota.
While the average temperature of March
was somewhat above the normal In the
Southern states, the season in that sec
zion is reported from two to three weeks
late except in Texas, where it is more
nearly normal.
The general condition of wheat Is less
favorable than at the close of the month
last year, and as at the close of that
month, the late sown is less promising than
that seeded early. On the Pacific coast
the outlook is most promising in Oregon.
and the crop has been greatly benefited
by recent rains in California, but in Wash
inston 1t has been injured by severe
weather and lack of snow protection.
Preparations for cotton planting in ley
as are well advanced, and some has been
planted in the southern part of the state:
some has also been planted in portions of
Georgia and South Carolina.
Some corn has been planted as far
north as Tennessee and Oklahoma. and
farther south large part of the crop has
been planted.
Some spring oats have been sown as
far north as the Lower Missouri and Ohio
valleys"

CHOOSING a PLACE TO PRACTICE.
Equipped with his love of the law,
and his thorough preparation in it,
Choate began, in 1854, to look about
for an opening. He took plenty of time
for the task, as might be expected of a
scholarly man able to command leisure.
He took a trip through the west, and
it was not until 1856 that he settled to
practice in New York.
It might have seemed the natural
thing for young Mr.. Choate to hang out
his shingle in Massachusetts instead of
elnigrating to New York. Although Mr..
Choate does not say so, it is probable
that the presence Of his famous kins-
man, Rufus Choate, then in the zenith
of his power and fame, at the head of
the Massachusetts bar, had something
to do with it. Young Joseph had am
billions Of his own, and he may have
reasoned correctly that they would
stand a better chance of fulfillme.lt
away from the direct comparison with
Rufus Choate's abilities Mr.. Choate
has been able to succeed in spite not
only of advantages in wealth and edu-
cation, but in spite of a distinguished
relative as we'll.
The famous relative was something
of a handicap at first. Lawyers and
others in New York said:
Rufus ChOate'S young cousin has
come down here tto practice. Let's go
and see how he compares with the old
man."
They focked to "Joe" Choate's first
case, and most of them were disap-
pointed His quiet manner, conveTsa-
tional arguments and Offhand jokes
were so entirely in contrast with the
stirring eloquence of Rufus Choate that
the observers did not appreciate its
power at first.
Guess he hasn't much to bank on
but the family name," they said.
But there were some who appreciated
the young attorneys possibilities, and
one of these was William NJ Evarts
In 1859 he invited Mr.. Choate to join
his firm. He did SO, and for the past

There was no nonsense about ChOate.
He wanted to be a. successful lawyer,
and he was never led away from that
aim He said to one of his youthful
friends:
II would rather be the leader of the
New York bar than the president of the
United States"
TOO BUSY FOR SOCIETY.
He kept his ideal before him. When
it was suggested that he should enter
politics, he said: NO" When oppor-
tunities to go into society presented
themselves, he answered: Il am too
busy" He studied hardeT-not only
law books but the masters of English
writing and speech.
Studying the books and fighting in
the courts soon began to tell for
Choate. By 1870 they had made him
one of the foremost lawyers OF the
country Since then every year has
made his position as leader of the bar
more unquestionad.
Yet Choate is not a well known man
in the sense that DeDew or a dozen
others who have been no more con-
stanSly before the public, are. To the
citizens of the country at large his
name signifies a man who makes Occa-
sional brilliant speeches, and who re-
wealthy clients. This is a singularly
erroneous view. During the recent
campaign in New York, Richard Croker
made the charge against Choate that
he had never taken up the case of a
poor man. Choaee retorted that on one
occasion he had appeared for a man
who, by his own sworn testimony, was
poor. He alluded to his appearing for
Croker himself, after that gentleman
committee that he was poor. This may
be hardly a convincing instance, and
was inspired, doubtless, by a. desire to
get the better of Mr.. Croker. But it
is a fact that Mr.. Choate's charges are
very moderate. considering his emf
hence in the legal profession. 1t is
said that he has received fees amount
ing as high as 100000, but he probably
has not made as much money from his
practice as have a number of other
men of less eminence in the profession.
The reason is that Mr.. Choate has de-
voted himself to general practice. He
might have made more money as a cor
poration lawyer, but he has preferred
the keen intellectual enjoyment deriv-
ed from the more diversified work of
general advocate.
Choate is a man of sane ideals. His
head has never been turned by any
thing he has accomplished. 1t was sug-
geSted to him that his new honors had
formed an appropriate rounding out to
a successful career.
Success said he keenly, catching at
the word. ANY man is successful who
has plenty to dO-as long as one can
honestly perform his fair share of the
worlds work, he enjoys the only sue
cess it is possible for anybody to
achieve

CHOATE COMPELLED SUCCESS.
Remarkable Career of the New Minister to England-Law
yer, Orator, Wit.

Most men whose careers bring a thrill
TO the heart of the democratic Ameri-
can are those who have succeeded in
spite of terrible disadvantage self
made men, who fought their way up
ward through poverty to fame.
Joseph Choate of New York, who has
Just been appointed to fill the most dis
tlnguished diplomatic position in the
SIT OF this country, has succeeded in
spite OF advantages. His uncle, Rufus
Choate, was one of the most famous
lawyers of his day; his father had
money in store to provide for him nber-
ally, should he never nerve himself to
greater exercise than clipping cou-
pons. There seemed little incentive for
him to work or strive in the busy
world; it seemed impossible for him to
add luster to the already famous name
of Choate.
There is therefore, sense as well as
wit in Mr.. Choate'S remark: 81 have
succeeded in spite Of advantages"
Choate wasted none of his early OPP
portunities. He was born in the old
town of Salem, Mass. His family was
respected and well-to-do, and his early
education was carefully looked after.
He was graduated from Harvard in
1852, at the age of 20, and two years
later completed the course of the Har-
ward Law School. When Mr.. Choate
was asked how he came to adopt the
profession Of law, he replied:
WHY CHOATE BECAME A LAWYER
"WelI, it was this way: In those days
a man who went to college had his
choice of three courses-law, medicine
and theology. My friends assured me
that I wasn't cut out for a minister;
in medicine our family was already
represented, so I accepted the only
alternative"
In reality, however, Choate was in
love with the law. He believes thor
oughly and enthusiastically in his pro-
fession, and he has taken occasion to
pay eloquent tribute to it in an address
before the American Bar Association.
He said:
I'VE love the law because, among all
the learned professions, it is the only
one that involves the study and the
pursuit of a careful and exact sci
ence.
Theology was once considered an
immutable science, but how it has
changed from age to agel
And then as to medicine? How its
theories succeed each other in rapid
revolution, so that what were good
methods and healing doses and saving
prescriptions a generation ago are now
condemned, and all the past is ad-
judged to be empirical.
