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: II have
succeeded in spite Of advantages"
Choate wasted none Of his early op-
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 Lawyer.

a man who went to college had his
choice of three courses-law, medicine
and theology. My friends assured me
that 1 wasn't cut out for minister;
in medicine our family was already rep
resented, so l accepted the only alter
native"
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 1t in an address
before the American Bar Association
He said:
1--WE love the law because, among all
the learned professions, 1t is the only
one that involves the study and the
pursuit of a careful and exact science.
Theology was once considered an
immutable science, but how it has
changed from age to age!

That seemed TO settle the fight, for
the two live lions disappeared into the
brush before we could get crack at
them.
The big one. that came near max

one OF the largest lions ever seen in
this section. He measured nine feet
from tip to tip, and weighed 24O
pounds. The others were of ordinary
size. but plenty large enough to make

and let the other boys bring in the
game. 1t was all they could do to
pile the seven carcasses into our wag-
on. Now we have got the skins to re-
mind us of the liveliest lion hunt we
ever had.
THE strangest thing about the
whole fight is the fact that the big
lion made such a stubborn fight with
bullet through his heart. Examina-
ton showed that the bullet Pat Whalen
fired first went right through its heart,
and yet it fought with fury and
strength for at least ten minutes. And
he came very near to getting away

CROWDED WHARVES

The pressure for wharf room is again
being seriously felt. On the Pacific
Mail wharf now there are parts of the
cargo of seven vessels and the cargo
of the China now landing. In spite of
the most strenuous efforts on the part
of the Port Surveyor and his force to
handle the freight as it comes, the lack
of wharf room makes it impossible. Not
only is the Pacific Mail wharf itself
cluttered up, but the fumigating room
is full.

A unique plan for an elevated path
100 feet above tho surface OF tho earth
In proposed by n Colorado engineer. Ills
Idea In to build tho structure from DEN
Yer TO n spot nine miles out for the use
OF cyclists. roller skaters and horseless
carriages.
The originator. In advancing the
claims OF the path. says that In addition
10 tho advantage OF eienr path the
rider would obtain an elegant view OF
the surrounding country: there would
be no dust. or dogs or cattle or any
thing else To disturb the wheelman ell
Their mentally or physioaiiy when once
he was inside the gates.
The auperrtructure could be HIGHT. and
comparatively little room would be taxi
en- up In the streets thereby. The sur
face OF the path, according TO the orlgi-
nator OF the idea. where II n exposed 10
the weather. would be OF aHphnltum laid
on n bed OF bitumlnoun concrete. which
would be laid on q wooden floor. Three
inch plank. with curbH Mt the sides Of
the same thickness. will form the ms
torlal FOR the floor.
The surface could bc made smooth
enough for billiards, says the promoter.
Where protected from the weather by
roof the roadway could be made OF hafd
wood flooring on edge. after the manner
OF a tonpln alley. Such n floor would
add strength to the structure. as u
would form continuous girder. The
roadway would be guarded by woven
wire fence as nearly Invisible M pos
Slble. and this should be painted with
Rllsonite. The fence would prevent the
rider from falling and would catch hats
that might blow on.
The originator thinks the elevated
path would DO a paying Investment,
Cyclists could purchase quarterly or
annual tickets and single fares could 30
charged occasional passengers. either
on roller skates or wheels. Then money
could be made by renting skates ana
wheels for use on the path. stations
could be established Mt convcnienl
points aions the path. where elevator
would take the passengers and thelr
wheeln up and down. The promoter
says he has had inquiries from New
YORK parties who expect to build an
elevated path In tho suburbs OF Ne"
York city.
