Since the Hackfeld wharf refund
ment item has passed the House, we
have heard it said that the amount
claimed was advanced in good faith,
the firm being assured that the Le-
gislature would eventually make it
good, and further, that 81 Hackfeld
& Co., Id, did not know OF any
legal impeachment or technicality in
the way, as the work was done with
the approval of the Executive
Council We don't doubt for q
moment that the money for the
work was advanced in good faith, as
the building of the wharf WAS
strongly urged by the business COM
munity on account of the then
apparent congested condition OF
docking facilities at the time But
of the legal aspect OF the under
taking, we cannot for a moment be.
lieve that such firm would advance
such large sum without frat OBJ
tanning proper advice from their
regularly employed legal adviser.
We cannot believe that they are
such fools to advance money on an
illegal and unauthorized undertak-
ing, even if it was necessity and
demanded by the e1igencies OF the
times.

finally get it, but wa utterly fail to

seen fit to 60 it blind and raise $50
better. We think that the office
should receive the same pay as that
of the bookkeeper of the Public
Works Department, il not shade
better by either lowering one or
raising tho other, as the case might
be, which has been done as in this
case in point.

Young Green stood in their midst
wet feet toward the fire and enjoying
its warmth and rest after the dreary
day. They have set his right leg
and his arm, but his left leg will have
to be amputated near the hip"
A silence fell over them. A sort OF
awed silence it was, at thought Of all
it meant. And it was the same man
who stood in their midst but three
days before, powerful of muscle, with
cords like an oak, vowing vengeance
upon this young man who had saved
his life
1.-THE leg should have been ampu-
tated at once, for it was in terrible
condition, but the doctors dared not
do II in his weak state 1t might prove
fatal. Tomorrow they hope to do 1t.
His daughter knows nothing of his
critical condition, and they wish her
not tc know. The waiting and sus-
pense nave told much on her already,
and she must have no more excite
ment at present"

Green replied, quietly, touch of color
in his face to hear these rough men
speaking Of these things in regard to
such a woman as Dolores Johnson.
But it is doubtful about johnson
having to be taken care OF many

Mrs. Jones came TO the door and
spoke to him. His supper was ready

AS he arose to obey the summons
Tom Smith asked, grufny, it might
be out of bravado to hide his real
feelings:
EFF Johnsing dies what bout Their
trial over yander, jedge"
Green faced him with a look the
men never forgot, as he replied,
sharply:
What is a mares life to that of a
man, Smith? You had best let that
matter drop till this is settled"

a better ON Loaw
(By a Correspondent.)

What should / know about law?
am the average individual. neither or
binary nor extraordinary, neither fool
nor sage. During my business life l
have occasionally consulted lawyer
have had several lawsuits, and have
learned some law.
A lawyer once told me that when
he was studying in an office for admis-
sion to the bar, he thought of writing
an essay on Popular Misconceptions
of Law" and asked the advice Of his
preceptor about it, who said: Young
man, you better write an article on
Lawyers Misconceptions of Law
The students ready response was: Il
believe that subject is too broad"
A Lawyers knowledge.
Some people believe lawyer should
know everything, and when they dis
cover their lawyer does not, begin to
look for another one. Such persons
usually have as many lawyers as thoG
have legal propositions lodged in their
brains, Whenever the lawyer fails, SO
does their faith. They seem never to
come to the conclusion that lawyer
should not be expected to know it all
any more than any other person in his
particular calling or business.
Although a lawyer should not be
expected to know everything he should
be expected and should know those
things which will fulfil the purposes
for which he is sought to be used by
his clients. A legal author well says:
"An attorney agrees that he possesses
at least the average degree Of skill and
learning in his profession in that part
of the country he practices, and that
he will exercise that learning and skill
with reasonable care and diligence"
Courts Of Equity.
/ always supposed court of equity
was a court of justice until learned
to my sorrow that IL was not. / asked
my lawyer the real meaning Of court
of equity. He said it was a court Of
chancery. "And what is a court Of
chancery?" 1T is that side OF the
court as distinguished from the law
side" "And how do you distinguish
| it?" "The difference between a court
of equity and a court of law is that
equity begins where the law ends, that
equity reaches those cases the law
does not, that equity takes jurisdiction
of those matters only where the law
fails to provide a remedy" AS did
not fully understand his explanation

approvingly as though TO impress
