Had Never Tried Il.

Abe Hummel was talking with a
friend from the west the other day.
ut seems strange to me-" said the I'M
sophisticated stranger, that you can
have more kinds of crime than we
have on the sparsely settled plains"
We'll" said the lawyer, life is
more complex in a metropolis, GER
tainly. why shouldn't there be more
reasons for crime?"
But you have crimes without rea-
son." objected the westerner. Look
at this: A few months ago the pro-
prietress of a so cent table d'hote
restaurant shot down customer in
cold blood. Why? Simply because
he wouldn't drink the wine with his
dinner"
Mr.. Hummel looked at his friend
pityingly And you call that crime
without reason? Great heavens, mani
Have you never tried a so cent dinner
with wine ?"-New York Times.

LAWYERS, Fees.

There was a time when lawyers
gowns had pockets in the back, in
which a client could deposit an hon
orarium" without giving a sordid,
mercantile character to his relations
with his counsel. But ex-Judge Por-
ter says the law isn't what it was
even fifty years ago, and has passed
the days of the honorarium. Lawyers
are simply the paid employees of their
clients" One of the evidences of the
change is that the Law association is
urging a bill to protect lawyers against
the loss of contingent fees by settle.
ment of cases out of court. Contin.
gent fees were unprofessional once.
1t will also be noticed as a change
that 1t is now necessary to protect
lawyers from their clients.-P hiladel.

The Sacrifice.

Desert with your fiery heart
And your hot red sands that eat the
SUM-
Take your primeval sacrifice,
The life-drops of another one!
So death and hate have battled long
IN mortal conflict on your breast.
And here In blood your sons have sealed
Their heritage Of wild unrest.
They steal like phantoms through the
dawn,
Lake desert lizards do they bide,
Like desert demons swarm the path
Where e'er the White Intruders ride
Their eyes are keen, their rifle balls
Fly true and bear their vengeance far;
They fade like shadows and they rise
Like the sand devils that they are.
IT'S over. and the cavalcade
With stated vengeance IN their eyes,
Ride on and leave the Aztec god
To claim HIS human sacrifice,

Sarah Grand Tells Witty Story of

Ambassador Choate proposed a toast
to "Sovran Woman" at a recent ladies'

Among other things she said:
ut is good of you to set apart as
you do here, one day year for wom-

To cater to the ladies' is never a

However, there is such a thing as
offensive and inapt catering to the
ladies, and / recall case in point.
There were two rival churches in a
small inland town, and whatever one
church did, the other endeavored to
surpass. Both were in course of rem.
ovatio: one summer, and, as the work
went on, they watched each other
anxiously, to escape being outdone.
Two spies from the first church,
visiting the second as the renovations
neared their end, saw painted above
the chancel the motto, Good will to
men,
TIA, they said, this won't do. We
have no motto over GU chancel. We
must get one, and one that beats our
neighbours here
Accordingly they placed above
their own chancel the words, Good

DAIRY MEN HAVE
 RED HOT FINISH
IT IS INITIATED THAT DAIRY AND FOOD AUTHORITIES MESS IN LEGISLATION TOO MUCH. CAUSED TROUBLE.

St. Paul, Minn., July 22.-Toward the latter part of the afternoon session of the dairy and food convention a. squall ruffled the serene surface of the pro- ceedings. During the discussion of the food questions from the manufacturers standpoint L. M. Fraley of Camden, N. J.. intimated that dairy and food authorities should not take so active part in legis- lative matters as they have taken. He even lntimated that they should have less less to say than any other interest. It was enough if they enforced the law, without going out of their way to frame laws on their own responsibility.
 The delegates had barely recovered from this when R. J. Mauck of Colum- bus, O.. held aloft a circular which he shook for some minutes, and he declared that it was an outrage and 8 cowardiy attack on the dairy commissioner of every state. The circular was a letter addressed to dealers and signed by MT. Fraley, in which the dealers were told not to fear the dairy and food officials, who pretended to know a great deal about law, as they were generally over stepping their authority and half the time had no law for their action. It urged the defiance by dealers of the food commissions regulations.
 The manufacturers present did not dem it an opportune time to offer sug- gestions, and the matter went over.
