More or Less of IL Done In New York
Lawyers OmceB.
Get move on! That's the great
modern motto" said New York law
yer who has been practiclng in the
local courts for the last 20 years.
when l was admitted to the bar"
he went on, there was n great idea of
the dignity of the profession. A law
yer would about rs soon have paraded
Broadway carrying sandwich sign
calling attention to his legal ability as
he would have thought of hustling in
any other way for business. The thing
to do wasNo rent an office ana sit in it
until somebody came and dug you out
of the dust and spider webs and asked
you to take case.
"The march of progress has changed
nil that. Every law firm in this city
hustles for business. L don't mean
that the big men of the firm chase
around after clients. or course they
don't. But the firm does a lot of
shrewd planning ahead. 1t schemes in
particular fashion of its own to widen
it's sphere of usefulness-to itself.
"Of late years one of the expedients
adopted has been the taking into the
firm OF young college graduates who
can give n reasonable guarantee that
they will bring business. College men
know of this custom, and many of
them shape their life at the university
accordingly. They are after friends.
They want to be popular. They want
to be nble to swing as much of the
future legal business of their fellow
graduates as they can.
"a chap who can bring business of
that sort is taken in on good salary
even when he is the veriest tyrO at
law. He's expected, of course, to do
what real work he can and to study
hard. But the salary Is for the pull he
can exert over his fellows."-New York

PARrRIpeg EGGS.
Said to nc More Nutr:tious Than tn,
BIrILS themselves.

Said to Tie More INFECTIOUS Than the
BIrhS Themselves.
"Fcw persons are aware OF the fact"
said well known physician, but 1t IL
true. nevertheless, that the egg of the
partridge is one of tie most nutritious
things iu the world. They are not used
for eating purposes except in very rare
cases, and then II generally happens in
remote rural districts. l have known
negro families in the stnte of Louisiana
during the laying season to live on the
eggs of partridgcs. And they would
flourish handsomely and grow fat on
account OF the rich properties of the
eggs.
"These eggs, of course, never find
their way into the market because they
are never taken from their nest except
by such persons as L have mentioned,
and they rob the nests, 1 suppose, be-
cause their principal food supply comes
from this source. Quail meat comes
pretty high In the market at all times,
and the average man will find 1t more
profitable to spare the eggs and wait
for the birds when the hunting season
rolls around. These men would pass
100 nests in one day without disturbing
an egg. The sport of hunting the birds
is an.nddltional Incentive.
"The average negro does not care SO
much about this aspect of the case. He
figures that the white man, having the
best gun and tue best dog, Will beat
him to the bird. So lie goes after the
egg. One partridge will lay anywhere
from 10 to 20 eggs, and Il nest is good
find. know of many families in rural
sections who feh Ut OH these eggs in the
laying season. have tried the egg
myself as an experiment. 1 found it
peculiarly rich. 1t has II good flavor, is
very palntable and in fact is altogether
very fine thing to eat. Really be-
lieve that the egg has more nutrition
in 1t than the fully developed bird, but
of course, as one of the men fond of
the game in the field, would like to
discourage the robbery of the nests."-
