The Champion Rough and Tumble
Fighter of Animaldom.


There was a time when the Ameri-
can mountain lion was one of the
most formidable animals in the world.
The cat is the masterpiece of nature;
and the mountain lion was one of the
most terribly armed and powerful of
the cat family. 1t was compact bass

Telephones in Cities.

What is the best telephone city II
the world? The question is interestin,
in view of the coming development,
IN London. San Francisco seems +,
be the answer. In that glorious CITY
with population of 342. 1872, there ar,
21.324 telephones. or 62 per 1000. In
Europe. Copenhagen is probably tn,
best telephoned city, with 1891 tele
phones to its 312.S59 of population
equal to 40 per 1000. In Copenhagen
too, the best conditions for the publie
exist. although the rates are relatively
as high as those in American cities
London compares very unfayora ably
with these figures. At the beginnin.
or 1901 there were 41.111 telephones

The LEGAL PROFESS ON.
4 Failing on In the Business Of the Courts.

1t has been said that the business
Of the courts is decreasing, and that
the records will show that there are
only about one half as many suits
entered in court as there were twenty
or thirty years ago. This is true in
nearly every rural county in the state.
Like almost every thing else, there
has been a change in methods. Titles
to land have all been settled long
ago, and there is no longer large
field of labor for the lawyer who has
made specially of practice in cases
of tax titles, and other questions re.
lating to land ownership. A trial of
an ejectment case is now really quite
a rare thing, and lawyers who under
stand the law of ejectment are equal
ly as rare.
The TACT that the law business is
no longer as remunerative as in days
gone by is evidenced by the fact that
nearly everywhere the ablest lawyers
are found bending their energies to
some outside business or enterprise,
because their law practice is not suffi-
ciently profitable, or they have not
enough of it to occupy their entire
time. How many lawyers in Colum-
bia county are devoting their whole
time to the practice of law, without
any side issues whatever Probably
not more than half dozen.
There are so many new avenues OF
employment opened up to young men
by the developments and discoveries
and inventions of the present day,
where brains and industry may ind
femunerative engagement, that it is
to be wondered at that so many young
men are pursuing course of legal
studies with the intention of becom-
ing lawyers. In all ages the farm, the
work shop and the store have lost
men who would have been successful
in these avenues Of trade, but who
are attracted by the idea that a pro-
fessional life is more honorable, and
hence some poor lawyers are made oi
men who night have been successful
in another avocatlon. For this reason
no doubt an explanation is offered
Why twenty years ago there were men
At the bar who were recognized as
legal giants, and whose names were
known throughout the state. There
we're judges in both the Common
pleas and the Supreme Courts who
were selected because of their sound
legal learning, and for their known
integrity. Now how many lawyers
can you count who stand head ant
shoulders above their fellows? How
many Judges can you name who have
not been placed upon the bench b!
political schemlng rather than because
of their acknowledged qualifications
for the place? There are some un
doubtedly, but the number is mucl
smaller than it was generation O
two ago.
Young man, consider we'll before
you decide on what shall be th'
av0cation of your life.

LICENSE COURT.

The regular time fixed for the
annual hearing of license applications
vas Monday, January aoth, at which
time the court sat for that purpose.
There were eighly,6ve applicants, a
falling off of ten in the last few years.
To four petitions, those of William
Gilmore and P. B. Heddens, OF
Bloomsburg, c. Crawford of Light
street, and c. Taylor, of Buck
Horn, remonstrances were filed, being
Of general character, that there was
NO necessity for these houses for the
accommodation of the public.
The Lightstreet case was first
heard. This application was for the
Mcdowell property at the upper end
Of the town. Several witnesses were
called on each side, the testimony
being confined to the necessity for
the license. 1t was brought out that
a license was asked for fourteen years
ago, and refused.
In the cases OF Gilmore and He'd
dens three witnesses were called on
behalf of each applicant, and none
against them.
All old places against which no re-
monstrances were filed, were granted
licenses. After hearing the Buck
Horn case the court reserved decision
in all contested cases until next
Saturday. At that time it is expect
ed that the Berwick cases will be
disposed of.
