In the first place." says Mr.. Choate,
mo young man should go into law I'M
less he is irresistibly attracted to it, IN
less he is prepared to make of it a pro-
feSsion instead of a trade. Next, he
should convince himself that law is not
a thing of bubbles and crotchets, but a
body of truth as broad and we'll defined
as human right Next, he should study
hard; it is Impossible to get too much
knowledge of the subject at the begin
ming Of his career. And, finally, he
should be always good-natured, honest
and perSevering, and he should get all
the practice he can"
Choates usual manner in addressing
a jury is to stand with one hand in his
trousers pocket, his foot on the back
Of a chair. Leaning forward, he talks
easily, confidentially, and with telling
clearness and force. Occasionally he
warns up, however, and then there is
a burst of eloquence that would do
credit to the immortal Rufus himself
Choate has the keen eye that can
search the soul, and he can make him
self terrible to a witness when he so
chooses.
CHOATE'S WEAK SPOT.
'If there is one weak spot in the
makeup of Joseph Choate," q distin-
guished fellow lawyer who has known
him for many years. said the other day,
'it is his fondnesS for a joke He would
rather say a funny thing than score a
telling, serious point. BY this 1 do not
mean to say that he tries to be funny.
1t is natural the fun bubbles out. He
saysswhat comes into his mind impuls-
lively, without stopping to think if it
may offend some overtime sensibilities.
But in spite of his reputation for Sar-
caSm, there is not more kindly man
in the country than Choate. His innate
kindness of heart was illustrated in
the tribute which he paid to Roscoe
Conkling, when Conkling appeared
against him in the Pacific railway case.
1t was just after Conkling's bitter de-
feat for reelection to the senate. Mr..
Choate said: However we may differ,
We owe the senator one debt of graft
tude for standing always steadfast and
incorruptible in the halls of corruption.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Won
immortal glory for passing one day in
the fiery furnace; but he has been
twenty years there. and has come out
without even smell of smoke upon his
garments. 1t was a gracious speech,
and Conkling remembered it gratefully
to his dying day."
AFTER-DINNER SPEAKER.
1t is in the peculiarly English and
American field of oratory, after dinner
speaking, that Mr.. Choate appears in
his happiest vein. The only men in this
country to be compared with him are
Depew and General Horace Porter
They have appeared at the same ban
quets many times, and it can be truth
fully said that ChOate is not inferior to
either of the others.
When he was asked the other day.

win cases on fine technicalities but by
appealing to the broad basic principles
of the law. He presented this view in
the celebrated case of the Mylod cleo
| ton certificate, which involved the con-
! troll of the New York senate, when he
said:
These questions of disputed cleo
tions were not to be settled by tech
nicalities or by appeals to TECHNICAL
ties. 8 They were to be decided
I on their substantial features He has
acted on principle in every important
case in which he has appeared-and
the list includes almost every trial of
national interest that has come up
since 1870.
NEVER NEGLECT A CASE"
Mr. Choate threw an interesting light
! on one cause of his success as a lawyer
when he said:
II have made it my rule never to
neglect u case, no matter how unim-
portant it may seem. A doctor owes
| it to his dignity of his profession to
treat cut finger successfully, just as
he would fractured skull. The same
thing is true of the lawyer, although
unfortunately, not all attorneys appre-
ciate the fact
It is in great measure due to this de-
votion to the interests of even the hum
blest clients that Mr.. Choate has won
probably a greater percentage Of the
cases he has appeared in than any
other lawyer in the country.
in spite OF his love of fun and his
free and easy manner, Mr.. Choate is
q sticlder for the dignity of his pro-
fession, and he has the courage to
defend ITS rights, no matter by whom
they are ignored.
REBUKING A JUDGE.
On one occasion, when Choate was ad-
dressing a bench on which Judge Van
Brunt was sitting, the latter turned his
chair around and began talking to one
of his associates. This habit which
other judges have been known to in
dulge in, is annoying to lawyers, but
they think 1t the part Of wisdom not to
notice it. Choate, however, instantly
paused in his address and stood gazing
at the bench, with his arms folded
When Judge Van Brunt, surprised by
the hush in the court room, looked
around, Mr.. Choate said:
Your honor, have just forty min
utes in which to make my argument 1
shall need every second of the time, and
also the undivided attention of the
court" And you shall have it, 90 re-
piled the judge, instantly acknowledge
ing the justice of the appeal.
These incidents give a fairly accu-
rate view of the qualifications with
which Choate started out on his career
as a lawyer-a profound belief in his
profession, a reliance on broad princi-
pies rather than fine technicalities, a
keen judgment, ready wit and genial
manner To these must be added I'M
limited ambition and a studious nature
These advantages soon outweighed the
objections of a wealthy family, dis
tinguished cousin and partner famous
as a lawyer and public man.

twenty years has been the practical
head of the firm though the style of it
is still Evarts, Choate & Beaman.
HIS WAY WITH A JURY.
1t was noticeable from the first that
young Choate won his cases. His way
of talking to the jury, as he would to
an acquaintance he had stopped on the
street, his genial manner and his habit
of illustrating his telling points with
humorous or sarcastic illusions, re-
lieNed the ordinary tediun of trial,
and carried weight with the jurors.
From the first Choate has been a
great jury lawyer. His telling way of
expressing his ideas makes them stick
in the jurors memory. At the same
time the aptneSS of his comparisons
and the manner in which they go
straight TO the heart of a question,
makes them influential with the judges.
When Choate said of a wealthy and
somewhat hypocTitical witness. who
had purchased house in Brooklyn on
the further side of Greenwood Gene
terry, Il suppose it was the only way
he could make sure of a home beyond
the grave, the remark was bound to
remain with his hearers.
In the Pacific railway case Coils P.
Huntington set up the claim that he
was not responsible for the acts of his
agents on the Pacific coast. But when
Mr.. Choate alluded to the chief of these
agents as this Mark Hopkins, by
whom he was represented absolutely,
completely and without any limitation
whatever, so that you might say that
when Mr.. Huntington took snuff on the
Atlantic coast, Mr.. Hopkins sneeZed on
the Pacific it was impossible to eS-
cape his Interpretation.
His wit and fun making powers
hr.O1 oh n QnJ-lU
among the members of his own profess
sion. Jurors, judges and listeners well
coined his appearance in court as GER
tain to relieve the ordinary tedium of
a trial But he was not all fun. He
could be terrible and scathing when he
chose, and the sharp sarcasm which
made the Laidlaw-Sage suit celebrated
was employed to the confusion and
embarrassment of witnesses in many
an earlier and less famous case. No
more cutting remark was ever made
in a court room than Choate'S utter
ance in the suit of Architect Hunt
against Mrs. Paran Stevens. In sum-
ming up he sketched Mrs. Stevens
rise to social prominence in eloquent
terms, concluding:
"And at last the arm of royalty was
bent to receive her gloved hand, and
how, gentlemen of the jury, did she
reach this imposing prominence? Can
impressive pause) Upon a mountain
of unpaid bills,"
WHY CHOATE SUCCEEDED.
When I asked Mr. Choate to what he
attributed his success as a. lawyer he
said:
ITO studying the books and fighting
in the courts, principally to fighting
in the courts
The remark calls attention to another
of Mr.. Choate'S characteristics. He
is a broad-guage man. He does not

believe there is nothing that affords
greater relaxation than a good joke.
Men like Depew are the real lfe-savers
of the country 1t is a. fact that a good
many men take themselves and every
thing else too seriously"
Choate is a standing proof of the
truth of this doctrine. He wears his
81 years as lightly as he did his boy
hood. There is a kindly, genial, youth
full look about him. His step is spright-
ly and his eye clear His long career
has been a busy and arduOus one, but
he has enjoyed every bit of it.

Thackcray and the Cabman.

Thackeray loved to relate jokes on
himself, and one he especially enjoyed
waS about Il Reading hackman. The
author WAS unacquainted with the
town, and the moment he emerged
from the railway station he told q
hackney coachman TO drive him to the
nearest hotel. The driver closed the
door tremendously. mounted his box
and they started. In half n minute the
cab was at Il standStill and Thackeray
saw the cabman at the door, bowling
to him to come out. He did so with
out Il word, and found that he was at
the poytico of the station hotel, which
he had failed to see was not n dozen
yards off.
But he handed the man Il shilling and
was entering the hotel, rather pleased
with his own sang froid, when he was
amazed TO see the cabman taking off
his coat and offering to flight him
for the other siXpense." 1t appears
that on that day n resolution of the
Reading town council had come into
operation empowering hackney coach
men to charge eighteenpence for any
distance within the township. This
was its first fruits, 1t is unnecessary
to add that the cabman got his money
and Thackeray Il good story to tell at
the clubs.
