WOMAN WHOM LINCOLN KISSED

ago, on his experiences with Lincoln
ex-senator Dawes said. Il never saw
such an unkempt individual in all nv

DAY az the door Of Congress But nv first
impression was dispelled. when the real
magnitude Of the man began TO assert
ITSELF 70 those about him. I later Wis
lted Mr. Lincoln with my little daughter
Miss Anna Dawes. and Mr. Lincoln tool,
her up in his arms and kissed her. And
that settled her politics for life. ON
the night that Lincoln was assassfnated
a IcIiow Congressman and decided that
we would 20 20 see the President. We
leit the hotel early in the evening OF
april II. and started directly for the
White House. There we were Informed

PRIZES OF THE BRITISH BAR.
High Salaries and Large Fortunes Are
the Rule.

The lord high chancellor OF Great
Britain is second only in position to the
Archbishop OF Canterbury. and he enjoys
an income OF SIC. 900 a year. The lord
chief justice OF England has a salary OF
$4,000 a year. The master OF the rolls
has a salary Of $4,000 a year. and the
lords OF appeal in ordinary have the
same. The lord justices Of the court OF
appeal and the judges OF the high court
earn C. 900 year each. The masters o.
the high court are chosen either from
barristers or from solicitors. but all the
other oficeholders TO whom we have al
luded must have come from the bar.
The attorney general makes much
more money than any OF these dignita-
ries. His salary is only $1,000. but he
large amount. The solicitor general has
200 year besides his fees. or
course. the double work. legal and par
hamentary which these officers have TO
undertake is most arduous requiring an
iron constitution and a mind that re-
cuires but little time for rest. The pri-
waite practitioners in some few cases
make larger incomes than any OF the Of
ncial persons at the bar. IL is not. in
deed. many who make salaries Of FIVE
figures. but there may be always one or
two leaders who are achieving this. The
leaders who are chiefly before the public
in ordinary cases DO not often make
more than from g. coo to e5 600 q year
Larger fortunes are frequently made by
men who specialize in patent cases, who
are engaged In rating appeals and com
pensntioD work. or who practice their
profession at the parliamentary bar

only give more time for consideration
of cases which are increasing in num-
Der and Importance, but will have a
good effect upon litigants. in that they

In this way also, there would be less
likelihood of appeals from the de-

which are always expensive even
though the law is amended so as to
permit appeals TO the Circuit Court of
Appeals at San Francisco. There would
still be the ultimate appeal to Wash
ington, five thousand miles away,
which often is denial of justice to
the poor litigant.
All the members of the Supreme
Court. as we'll as the Circuit Judges,

thought that the memorial to be pre-
