l. B. Deasy. said:

Il d. Dtdsy, Sdlu.
Since became a member of the Han
cock county bar, seventeen years ago,
death has claimed five of its mem bers. OF
these, only one had finished his life work.
One other was in his prime, and two Others
had not passed the spring. time OF life, and
now another, our brother Drummey, is cut
down in the flush and bloom of early
manhood.
1t is impossible to predict what the ca
reer of our brother would have been had
Providence vouchssfed to him long life,
but, in my judgment, he would have at
tanned high rank in his profession, and
that, too, because of qualities which, in
former times, and even by some persons
now, may be regarded as weaknesses.
There are some lawyers mot SO many as
formerly who think it their duty to de-
fend every position of a client, however
unreasonab BILE, to combat every position of
an opponent, however reasonable, to ad-
NIT nothing, to concede nothing, to yield
nothing, to compromise nothing and to
fight everything. Our brother Drummey
was not one of that class. de was not
fighter. lie was not belligerent. He did
not go about with chip on his shoulder.
He was in the highest degree conciliatory.
He never, to my knowledge, advanced
proposition that be did not himself be-
iieve to be reasonable He listened vii b
the greatest respect and the greatest defer
ence to the opinions and arguments of
others, and he was always ready to yield
and to concede whenever reason seemed
to dictate yielding and concession. Such
an attitude, may 1t please the court, COM
pels a similar attitude in those with whom
we deal. And the great battles of the
future, legal, forensic, legislative, diplo'
matte and commercial, will be won by
that class of men and not by the trucu
lent, intellectual gladiator.
To The death Df "A yOuQp man lust enter
ing upon the real business of life, man
possessing so many of the qualities that
inspire affection as did our brother, it is
hard to be reconciled. 1t is hard to bow,
it is hard to say, Thy will be done" In
spite of ourselves, IN spite of the teachings
of religion and the inspiration of faith, it
is hard to resist some sympathy with the
unsatished questioning expressed IN the
old Scottish lament:
"The hand of the reaper
Takes ears that are hoary,
But the voice of the weeper,
Walls manhood in glory.
The Autumns' winds rus hing,
Take leaves that are searest,
But our flower was IN flushing,
When its blighting WAS nearest"
But while our finite minds cannot COM
prehend it, we are bound to believe that 1t
is Part of a great and benifcept MAN.
that somehow, sumew here these questions
will I answered, and that the answec will
accord with the highest lsuutn aud the
greatest mercy; that,
"while death takes us Ivy surprise,
And stays our marrying te,t,
The great design unfinished lies,
Our lives SEE IN INCOMPLETE.
Yet in the great unknown,
Perfect their circIes seem,
Even rs u bridges arch OF stone
Is rounded Ia the stream"

Strange wooing OF Luck.

Ever since the assassination of King
Humbert hundreds of Italians have
been trying to win prizes in the ma
tional lottery by playing those num-
beers which correspond with his age.

king having lived for fifty-six years,
ten hours and forty-nine minutes. IL

amount OF his stake. Some unusually
optimistic gamblers have tried to win
even more than this by playing a
fourth number (73). which is the SYM
Dol OF regicide. II this combination,
Sc, 10, 40, and 7S, were 10 win the gov

last drawing was held in Milan few
days age, and, singularly enough. the
winning numbers were IS. 10, IS and

mark, and as a result Italian gam
blers are more determined than ever
to keep on playing their fayorite CON-

They had been travelling about 10
gether ever since the awful burglary,
with It's attendant deaths OF the bur-
glar and his victim, Neville Howard.
OF the events which had Immediately
followed, Janetta, PROSTATE In mind
and body, knew little or nothing; and
the moment 1t was possible to move
her, Doctor Drake had suggested that
she should be sent abroad with a
nurse.
IL shall take her." Clarice had said.
II will have serviceable maid; but
Janetta will need some one she knows
about her IL she is to get we'll"
your" the Doctor had exclaimed,
half incredulously. Are you equal
to the task?"
Il am equal to anything that will
make Janetta WELL" Clarice had re-
piled. And the Doctor went on his
way, greatly wondering.
After all Clarice's improvement in
health was only the fulfillment Of his
own prediction. The shock which bade
fair to wreck Janetta's life, or deprive
her of reason, had helped her friend
to the better exercise of both. The
need for exertion had come, and in her
devotion to Janetta, Clarice had laid
aside her own weakness.
So the two started off on their trav-
els together, and by slow degrees ia
Meta began to rally from the awful
mental shock she had undergone; and
Clarice, in her loving care and watch
fulness, had cast aside the last traces
of invalidism, and had grown as pref
ty and animated as in the days before
her accident.
To hear Janetta laugh was sufficient
reward for an hours amusing chatter,
and the first day she could walk a
mile the fact had to be duly chron-
icled in a long letter to Doctor Drake,
who, from time to time. came out to
see how his patient prospered.
Happily these days were passed, and
Clarice, as she watched Janetta's beau
tiful face this afternoon, thought that
her task was completed. Janetta was
really as well and strong as ever
again, only there was that touch Of
pathos about the curves Of the mouth
that told the tale of some great sor-
row. Janetta turned, conscious that
she was watched, and smiled at her
companion.
What are you thinking Of, dear?"
That you are as beautiful as ever,
that at last even / think you quite
well-well enough to go home, Janet
ia. We've wandered about so many
months that I'm homesick, and / be-
lieve 1 should welcome the sight Of

Let us CO." Janetta answered, after
a moments pause. II have often
thought that l should like to hear ev-
cry detail Of the night Of the burglary.

Fishing with an Axe.

Catching fish with an axe or Ratchet

that is necessary to be done is to cut a
hole in the ice and take out the fish.
