THE SMART LAWYER,
He Made . Little Mistake That Cost
Him Much Money.


This Is so blamed true that it is inter.
esting-very much so: A well known
Maine attorney is especially noted for his
kecnncss In looking out for the best end
OF every bargain and for his ability in
getting hold Of that end. 1t has made
him unpopular in some circles-has that
trait Of his!
On one deal not long ago he was in
with couple Of friends. men Of wealth
and standing. Business was good the
first year. There was O generous divi-
sion of profits. But the lawyer wasn't
satisfied with what was coming to him,
share and share alike with the others.
After receiving his proper whack as
partner he cxacted $500 more for "coun-
sci fees" He said that as a lawyer he
was worth that much more to the deal.
This was a new way of looking at the
matter, but the bill was resignedly allow
ed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men,
understand. In a little while they saw
that the venture wasn't panning out very
well. So the shrewd men of affairs quiz
city unloaded without saying anything
to their partner. Then little later
came the crash.
The lawyer hurried around to hold q
consolation meeting with the other two.
"Gracious! Isn't this too bad? moan.
ed he. 81 lost so-and-so. How much did
you fellows drop? You must have been

you're wrong. old boy" came the
cheerful duet. 1--WE never lost n dollar;
no, we never lost cent. Ira la"
"Wha-t-t-t?"
"Never lost a dollar. We saw it COM

"Well. then, why in the name Of all
