A young lawyer who was admitted
to the bar last year had his first case a
short time ago. His client. a negro, had
stolen a pair of trousers and had been
arrested and sent to Jail. During his in
generation he heard of the youthful
barrister and his great willingness to
assist those who fly in the face of the
law. The negro had also heard how a
lawyer will work IN his first real case,
so he sent for the young attorney.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty and
the young lawyer waXed eloquent and
told in a very earnest and impressive
way just how a man, because of his
color, has little show in the police court.
His client. he continued, was a man of
good character, and from every point
in the case, which he had carefully on
sidered, he was morally certain his
client was innocent of the charge; that
he did not S for mercy, but only jus
tice. The young mans eloquencei was
not without effect, however, since a
verdict of mot guilty" was given.
The mans exultation was felt by all
throughout the court room. with the ex-
ception of the prisoner, who still sat in
the dock in a %stupefied as if he
were glued to his chair.
The judge said: johnson, you are
free, but Johnson made no effort to va
cate that chair. His lawyer came over
to him and told him: Man, 1 have
brought you liberty; you are free" but
not once did the prisoner move, and the
lawyers eloquence was once more tax
ed and he told Johnson again: You
are free; go out and breathe the fresh
air; let the III shine upon you and
hear the birds sing, and Yes, boss
I knows all about the fresh air, the
sun, and the birds singing but I can't
move, a step until dat man gets out OF
here, kaze right dis minute 1 got his
pants on.''-Exchange.

BOERs SURRENDERING.
Over Ten Thousand Come in-Good
Feeling

Pretoria, Wednesday, June lin all
1O.225 Beers have surrendered up to
date. Many are youngsters Of eleven
years old and upward. The majority
of them are under so years Of age,
though some OF the burghers who have
surrendered are septuagenarians. Re
ports from all the districts say that the
burghers are increasingly friendly. The
only bitterness observed mons the
leading Beers here is against France
and Germany. They declare the war
was protected unnecessarily owing to
hopes held out by the French and Ger
man press. Some of the Beers are so
incensed that they have expressed the
hope that some day they will fight on
the side of the British against n of
these powers. The anticipated friction
between the surrendered Beers and
their former comrades of the. national
scout has not materialized to any ex-
tent.
The Beers admit they received am
munition through Portuguese territory.

products held a conference of almost

TO continue their opposition 10 the reci-

ed the house OF representatives. includ-
ing the Morris amendment for the abo-
lition OF the diferential duty or refined
sugar, and that they will resist all
amendments that may be offered TO IL.
They will propose two alternatives. One
of these is to drop the subject and make
no further attempt to secure reciproci-
ty legislation. The other is to accept

A count of those present n those
absent and known to be in sympathy

sion that there are at least nineteen re-
publican senators who can be depended
on to stand together in any course

ed that a proposition 10 pass that meas
