The opening feature of the Satur-

brilliant paper by United States Sen
ator Albert }. Beveridge on The Young
Lawyer and His Beginning. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the article:
1T used to be a part Of the creed of
a certain denomination that a man
should not be admitted to the ministry
who had not received his call 1t was
necessary that he should hear the
Voice speaking with his tongue, and
saying: Woe is unto me. If | preach
not the Gospel
This is true Of the profession of
law. So, at the beginning Of your be-
ginnings, do not begin at all unless
you see a certainty Of misery if you
do not. Unless you are convinced that
you would rather work. toll, nay, slave
for years to secure recognition in the
law, than to be honored and enriched
in some other occupation, do not en-
ter this profession Of supreme ardor.
III possible, get q thorough college
education before you touch a law book.
II you can get a college education. do
not read law while you are at col

what is known as the scientific course
or physical course. Take the clas-
steal course. Next to geometry and
lo.arithms and the Bible, the best dis
ciuline preparatory to making you a
lawyer is the translation Of Latin. 1t
is the most logical language the world
has eve seen, or is likely ever to see."

ing.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 17.-Representa-
tives of the trainmen, conductors. en-
g~ineers and firemen held a conference
last night with General Manager
Nudge of the Santa Fee, for the pur-
pose of attempting to mediate the
der of Railway Photographers.
While no agreement was reached the
board of mediation was encouraged
by Mr.. Nudge to hold a conference
with Third Vice President Barr, which
will probably be done today or tomor-
row at Chicago.
Representatives of the different
railway ORDERS" said Mr.. Nudge, held
a short conference with myself and
Mr.. Resseguie this evening. They
stated they had no grievance against
the Santa Fe, but at the request of the
t~elegraphers, desired to offer their Of
fees to mediate the differences be-
tween the o. r. T. and the company.
They expressed a desire to act for
the entire system, and include the
trouble on the Gulf, Colorado & San
to Fc and also the lines west of Albu-
querque. AS my authority extends
simply over the Santa Fe proper, |
could not deal with them. They will
probably hold a meeting with Mr.. Barr
and attempt to reach a settlement up
on the best possible basis to be obtain
ed for the telegraphers."
But little information could be OBJ
tanned from the members of the board
Of mediation. They were not dispos-
ed to talk about the situation, but in
timated that there would be something
to give in a day or two The telegraph
ers feel much encouraged over the
turn affairs have taken and think there
is no doubt of ultimate success.
The te~legraphers' headquarters pre-
sented a lively appearance all day. The
representatives of the different orders
held a lengthy conference in the af-
ternoon before they decided to take
any dCtlOH Ill the matter.
When shown a telegraph from Wich.
ita. stating that ~telegraphers on the
Oklahoma division were petitioning
Superintendent Fl. C. Tice for rein
statement, Mr.. Dolphin said:
There is nothing in the story. If
the telegraphers desired to be Iein-
stated they would not apply to Mr..
Tice. They would go to some one
higher in authority. The telegraphers
all over the system are standing firm
and will stay out until this matte is
definitely settled.
No Strikers Have Returned.

went out in Topeka, there is not one
who has attempted to get bacl, aud
this is the situation everywhere.
