Of Lawyer.

Boy Certainly Had in Him the Making
Of a Lawyer.
TIE ready wit of lad secured him
a position as az office boy with Park
Row law firm the other day, says the
New York Times. Over a score OF
boys had answered the advertisement
End waited in the outer Office to be
examined as to their fitness.
"All wLo are under ten years and
over twelve may go" said the lawyer,
hoping to reduce the number of appli.
cants, but not one stirred.
He then called to him boy who
appeared scarcely more thar ten and
read his recommendation -
why. this says you are only ten.'
said the lawyer.
But it doesn't count the months,
SIR responded the lad. Il am ten
years and two months, sir. and ten and
two axe twelve"
There was just a CLEAN or .oguish-
ness in the boys blue eyes as he
looked the lawyer full in the face.

ead Luck With His Panama.

Congressman Hopkins of Aurora
fought I mama hat, wore it two
daTs and then laid it away, probably
for good. The first day gust Of
wind took it from his head and he
had to chase it two blocks. Next
afternoon he and his new hat were
caught in a heavy shower. Putting
the Panama under his coat, he made
dash for shelter, but colided with
another man on a similar mission.
His handsome head-covering suffered
badly in the collision, and the Aurora
states man LIS put it on the shelf at
least for time.

ROBERT DAVIS DEFENDED
Patrick H. o'Nen Speaks With
the Authority of Forty-sev-
en- Years Acquaintance

To the Editor Of '"The Jersey City News"
II regret that Robert Davis has been
made in the closing chapters of this cam
paign the target for the shafts of ridi-
cule and sarcasm of the star orators of
the Republican machine want to say
that in my humble opinion of Robert
Davis has done more good for the city
and contributed more to the public char
tiles and the alienation of our poor than
all the traducers combined
ut does not become men like George
L. Record and of the stamp of Arthur
Gray to speak lily of Robert Davis. If
the people were asked to judge between
these men and Davis we know what the
decision would be. Robert Davis is a
man of the people and understood their
wants. He was not born with a silver
spoon in his mouth. have known Mr..
Davis for AZ years. We attended st.
Peters parochial school together and
have been friends ever since. The Davis
family. consisted of three boys and two
boys. One of the girls became sister
of charity. When only II years old the
present Democratic leader was forced to
leave school and go to work. He and
.
his elder brother, William, the head of
the family having died, were the only
mainstay of the family. At the outbreak
of the Civil War, Will Davis enlisted in
Co. G, Twenty-frst n j. Volunteers,
CoA Van Houten's regiment. The regi-
ment went to the front, and at White
Oak church, Va, Will yielded up his life
for his country's cause.
Mrs. Daviss eldest son gone, on Rob-
ert's shoulders fell the family response
bilities. He served his time as an ap-
prentice with Samuel Hetherington as a
gas filter. Long Robert Davis struggled
on, supporting the family for twenty
years. 1t makes my blood boil when 1
hear people for whom Mr.. Davis has
done favors, both financially and other
wise, abuse him.
