ANECDOTES OF THE LAW.
AN AMUSING COMPENDIUM OF QUAINT
STORIES

CURRIos3ITIEs RIe3I. @ OF Law AND LAWYERS. BY
so T9ake m JsI1esa I M Ne% Edition Greatly Enlarged.
How many readers know the name of the
patron saint Of the lawyer? Very few. we are
sure. Mr.. James will tell US 1t appears that
IN the fourteenth century St Evona or Ives Of
Brittany famous lawyer of his time was la
menting that his profession had no patron saint
TO look UP to- So he went TO Rome and asked
the Pope TO set the matter straight The Popa
puzzled Finally he told the lawyer to go
bindfolded around the Church Of San Giovanni
Laterano, and after he had said a certain num-
Der Of Ave Marias the first saint he took hold
of should be his patron. st. Evona followed di-
rections and, at the proper moment laying his
hands on image. proclaimed with JOY This
is our saint-this be patron But when the
bandage was taken from his eyes he found that
he had stopped at the altar of St. Michael and
instead Of taking hold of st. Michael himself
he had grasped the figure beneath St
Michael's feet-the devil! IT is said in an old
legend that St Evona was so detected over the
outcome Of his enterprise that in a few months
he died. When. ST Peters gate he
knocked for admittance and explained that he
was St. Eyona, the advocate he vas told that
there was no room in heaven for lawyers "Oh
but" said ST. Evona, Il that honest LAWYER
who never took fees on both sides nor pleaded
in a bad cause did I ever set my neighbors
together by the ears, nor live by the sins Of the
people" st. Peters heart was moved and
he let the supplant in. whereupon the good ad-
yocate Of Brittany became the patron saint of
lawyers himself
This book is a mine Of amusing anecdotes
There was Lord Meadowbank a very learned
judge, who thought that counsel should address
him in a grand tone. When one poor man was
stating a very dry to his Iordship in a
very dull and technical way the Judge threw
himself back in his chair and exclaimed: De

me as If / a popular assembly" Mr.
James tells Of the TWO attorneys who fought
duel one OF them shooting away the skirt OF the
others coat. The second oe the good shot OBJ

most probably have hit his pocket. John Err

size and used stand a stool when he was

justice that, coming home late one night 10 his
chambers, his way to his room he against

The death of Ruskin has, of course. been the
signal for the preparation of popular books
about him. The first in the field is John Rus
kin: Sketch of His Life. His Work and His
Opinions with Personal "reminiscences Phila-
delphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, by NJ II.
Spielmann. This is plausible piece OF casual
biography. 1t gives the rough facts of Ruskin' 8
life with useful glimpses of his work. and just
enough miscellaneous personaa to meet the
demand of the moment So complex an indi-
vdualty as Ruskin's must wait for really ade-
quate commemoraton. Within his limits Mr..
Spielmann is servceable. and his book contains
a number of welcome Illustrations chiefly por
traits of the great writer. Ruskin's paper, THE
Black Arts: A Reyerie in the Strand. written
for the Magazine of Art" under Mr. Spiel
mann's editorship, is included, and there is a
predatory note to the book by Mr.. Harrison s.
Morris. We have received also copy of the
sixth impression of Mr.. Marshall Mather's John
Ruskin: His Life and Teaching" Frederic
Warne & Coz, a carefully written introduction
to the study of the author.
From the Macmillans we have a bundle Of in
terestng editions In the new Library of
English Classics two volumes are devoted to
Malory's 'Morte dArthur' and two to THE
Works of Sterne" Five chapters of "Trstram
rest leading off the second, which includes fur
ther the Sentimental Journey, "A Political
Romance" "A Fragment in the Manner Of
Rabelais" and Memoirs Of the Life and Family
of the Late Rev. Mr.. Laurence Sterne." We
note again with pleasure the absence of the
usual predatory essay which often intrudes
unnecessarily in reprints of old masterpieces.
Mr.. Pollard supplies simply concise biographical
notes. Two more volumes of The Larger Tenn
pie Shakespeare" edited by Mr. Goancz, have
been issued, the ninth and tenth in this beauti-
fui set of books. Only two more are needed to
complete the edition. In the "ChiswiclI Shakes

ton to the Study of Dante" one of the best
and most useful books ever written by tho late
John Addington Symonds. The new edition of
Mr. Frederick Harrson's annals of An Old

best. Mr. Harrison is far more readable in
these chapters of historical research and affec-
tionate description than in his more preten-
tious and philosophical writings. The book is
abridged in this edition, and miss some of
the illustrations, but it is still a sufficiently

How did the recluse Edward FITZGERALD look
al sixty? This is his portrait, as drawn by Mr.
John Clyde: He had a melancholy cast of
countenance-a mist of despondent sadness hung
his face; a complexion bronzed by exposure
to sun and air. large nose. deep upper lip
sunllen. pale blue eyes, and bushy eyebrows
large, firmly closed mouth. dimpled chin and fine
head. Generally he had a dreamy look
His voice. though soft and gentle. was not mu-

The Diamond Garment
Cutter.

For years the masses of the people
have been una bic to cut their wearing
apparel according to the prevailing
styles and get fit. The demand of
fashion has been so exacting that
none but an expert could do satisfac-
tory work. This has not been on ac-
count of lack of intelligence upon
the part of the people, but inventive
genius has not been successful in this
particular direction heretofore as it
should have been. There have been
many attempts made to get a correct
system whereby all kinds of clothing
could be cut for general wear, and
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter none had been sue
cessful.
There have been charts, models,
scales, etc, without number, but all
Of these were either crude, or SO
shrouded In mystery that mo- hers and house
use them. and the few that approached sue
cess had TO be constantly USED or the worker
forgot all about the principle applied, In
brief there were no means In use by which
anyone could cut all the clothing UOr by the
family witnout a great deal of trouble and The
combining OF a number of different methods,
none OF which was entirely satisfactory.
The need of a correct plan or system of
WOfk was so apparent that all cOulu see H. yet
none was able TO remedy the defect until the
idea originated of SIMPLIFY ing tailors' rules
and applying them to lad es dresses and chit
dren'S as well as mems garments The merits
of the DiamOLd Garment Cutter system. But
few per,ons have any idea of the extent of
the work that can be done by the Diamond
Garment Cutter. Many persons THINK of IL
only as a model or char. Upon examination
you will find the Diamond Garment Cutter sur
passes anything ia its wo that has ever been
invented.

Hurled to the Ground While Rock Island

on. Injury and is Able to Proceed to His
Home.
A. Kimb ball. a well known citizen
of Davenport, and formerly general su-
perintendent of the Chicago. Rock ISL
and & Pacific railroad. fell from the
platform of c., K 1. 81 p. train No 49,,
westbound, at Bureau Junction last
evening. The circumstances sur
rounding the accident are peculiar.
Mr.. Kim ball, shortly before the acct
Mrs. Henry Curtis, of this city,
and c. NJ. Osborn, of Chicago, who
was a fellow-passenger. Mr.. Os-
born left the party and went to the
smoking car. and later was folio wed
by Mr.. Kimball. The latter was seen
to pass through the coach and by the
smoking apartment. The SUPPOSE
ton is that when he had reaahed the
vestibule of the train, he discovered
his mistake aud turned back, with the
intention of reentering the coach.
when he became confused and in seek
ing the door TO the coach, instead
opened the vestibule door.
No One Sees the Accident.
No one witnessed his actions, but
bow he escaped without serious in
jury is a mystery, notwithstand-
ing that the train was moving at a
reduced rate of speed. A signal to
stop was given Just before the train
reached Bureau junction and the &C
cident was reported to the train crew.
The searching party of train men had
not gone far when the supposed badly
in ured man came walking down the
track. The only mark he bore as
evidence of the fall was a cash over
the nose and the eyes were swollen,
presumably from striking on the fore
head. Mr.. Kim ball was taken aboard
the train and a doctor summoned
from Bureau Junction. After a short
time the train came on to Davenport,
Mr.. Kimball being accompanied home
by Mr.. Osborn.
