When Lydia f. Pinkham's Reme-

all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year

WOMAN LAWYER IN BROOKLYN.
Makes Speciality of Surrogate Cases
and Is Highly Successful.

The city of Brooklyn boasts Of but
one woman lawyer. She has made
such marked success in the profess
sion, however, that the city OF
churches is not at all enyiOus of other
towns that number their feminine
disciples Of Blackstone by the score.
Miss Myrtis Fish has been practicing
with some success in the Brooklyn
courts for the past six years. She
has been associated with her brother
and her brother-in-law during that
time, has frequently appeared before
the supreme court in motions and is
well known to the judges Of the coun-
ty courts, before whom she has argued
number of cases successfully. She
is also a member of the bar of the
United States court. Her speciality is
in surrogate court work in the matter
Of wills and settling estates and she
finds the greatest number Of her
clients among her own sex.
Miss Fish, who is a slender little
woman Of perhaps 80 years, told a re-
porter recently that she came OF
'
for a means of livelihood naturally
trrned toward law. She took her de
gree from the New York university
law school six or seven years ago
and at once began the practice of her
pro- ssion. With regard to a woman's
place at the bar Miss Fish said:
81 think a woman is better fitted by
no tn rot
and the like, especially when women
and children are interested, as the
natural prOmptings of her sex are
likely to make her more careful in
safeguarding the interests of her
clients. Men may be broader than
women in many ways, but they lack
the faculty Of women for minute de-
a case at law"
NO." she said in reply to a query
81 have had no startling experiences
o. any kind. I simply go to court and
attend to my duties the same as any
other lawyer and have always been
treated with the same consideration.
have never made a plea to jury"
she said half regretfully.
'The public" Miss Fish said, F'is
often misled by the term woman
lawyer as so many women, especially
of the wealthy class, take what is
really only a business course in law
and receive a diploma for their work.
Many people think when they hear of
a class of 100 women like this gradu-
ating that they are women lawyers.
They are not. They are only women
who get a little smattering of law to
enable them to manage their estates
intelligently. There are not more
than five or six woman lawyers in
greater New York and so far as know
there is none in Brooklyn beside my
self practicing here exclusively"
Miss Fish thinks the day is coming
when women will be found crowding
into the legal profession as rapidly as
men.

Description of Flags That Have Been
Adopted Recently.

On the recommendation of Acting
Quartermaster General Patten, the
war department has adopted a new set
Of standards and regimental, battalion,
and other colors for the army of the
United States. The changes made in
the flags are in consequence of the re-
cent changes in the buttons and Orna-
mentatiOn of the new uniform recently
adopted for the army. The main
feature of the new flags, as we'll as of
the buttons and ornaments, is in the
representation of the cOat-Of-arms Of
the United States. This coat-ofarms
is the great seal of the United States,
and its incorporation of the standards
and colors is for the purpose of making
them more representative of the ma
ton than is the case with the present
designs, and at the same time makes
them more uniform in general design
The new flags, according to the sam
pies, will be beautiful specimens of the
art. They are made of the best quail
ity of silk, in solid co1ors, and the
United States seal and the insignia
and scroll inscriptions and other en-
blems are embroidered in colors in
the most artistic manner. The United
States seal embroidered in colors and
four white stars, one near each corner.
The cord and tassel are scarlet and
white interwined.
The cavalry standard is yellow and
the fringe and the cord and tassel are
also of the same color Under the
embroidered seal is scroll in red,
with the regimental designation in let
! tiers of white.
| The artillery standard is red, with
red fringe, cord and tassel. Below the
seal is the insignia Of the arm crossed
cannons above yellow scroll con-
tanning the regimental designation in
letters of red.
The infantry standard is blue, with
yellow fringe and blue and white cord
and tassel. Below the seal is a red
scroll bearing the regimental designa-
| ton in letters of white
| The standard of the engineers is
scarlet, with white fringe and scarlet
and white cord and tassel. Below the
seal is the insignia Of the corps-a
battlemented Observation-Disclosures in
white and a white scroll with the bat
talon designation in letters of red.
The signal corps standard is orange
with yellow fringe, and cord and tassel
of orange and yellow. Below the EN-
Ibroidered seal is the insignia of the
,corps-crossed flags and torch-em
broidered in yellow and white, under
which is blue scroll, with designa
ton in letters of white.

WHAT BREAKS A MAN UP.

1t is not this playing at billiards
That tires man most to death;
But it's bringing coal up from the Gel
lar
That takes away his last breath
And it is not the base balls fierce
pitching
That will knock him all of a heap;
But it's saving a few sticks of green
wood
That will give him a grave long and
deep.
And it's not through the midnight
carousal
That so many give up the strife,
But it's walking the floor with the
baby
Deprives a poor fellow of life.

LEFT DIAMOND FOR THE PULPIT.
Story of William A. Sunday, Old Ma
tionaI LEAGUE PLAYER.

William A. Sunday, the former ma
tlonal league baseball player, who a
number of years ago gave up baseball
Tor eFangellstic work, has been or
da1ned formally as an evangelist of
the Presbyterian church. He was or
damned recently at the Jefferson Park
presbyterian church, Chicago, when
DR.. Wilbur Chapman preached the
sermon and DR.. Alexander Patterson
delivered the charge to the old ball
player. Sunday applied to the Chicago
presbytery some time ago for ordina-
tlon as an evangelist, and on the adj
vice OF several ministers who had OBJ
served his Independent work during
the past year. He was piled with
many questions by professors of theoI-
ogy, and the learned memebers of the
body passed on his application favor
ably. Occasionally Sunday was asked
too hard and involved a question. but
ne generally came off with honors and
made splendid impression bv his
frank, honest manner. Mr.. Sunday
began his church work about ) wears
ago, and tells the following story of
MS cOnversion:-

and some of whom are now dead. We

men and women singing. We sat on
the curbstone and listened. | had

school in Ames, Iowa, and God paint

scenes and recollections of other days
and faces. | bowed my head in shame,
and the tears rolled down my cheeks
like rivers of water. When the song
was ended, Where is my wandering

to be Harry Monroe of the Pacific
Garden mission, said: Come, boys.

speaking and singing" | arose and
said: Boys, good-by; I'm done with

SATISFACTION ALL AROUND.

Speaking Of fees" said the country
lawyer, Il well remember the easiest
one | ever earned. The trouble began
at one OF the usual Saturday night
auctions, when Bill Jones and Abe
Smith, who had been at loggerheads
for some time, began bidding on an
old fish crate. The box wasn't worth
single dollar, but the bidding ran
up, nickel at time, until it was
finally knocked down to Smith fol
1925.
Hold on says Jones. L bid 1925
on that crate myself, and | intend to
have it. Then they had a squabble
over it, but Smith paid the money,
loaded the box on his wagon and drove
home
About two days afterward Jones
came into my office
Hello said he. I've got a job
for you. You was down to the auction.
Saturday and saw me bid on that fish
box. Now, | want that box, and | in

you think you could get it for me?'

What's that?' he asked.
Why, that box there
oh, that old fish crate. I nearly

The Mystery of Number 400.

mother were there from the old home
in Delaware, Mullane's old pastor, who
had lulled him to sleep in a pew cor
ner on many a Sabbath morning of his
boyhood, was there from his later and
more exalted charge in great city Of
the east And there were others
more important to the work in hand
than these. Klingman, by some means
known only to himself, had secured
the presence Of d gentleman mighty
in the financial world, Of another
whose fame as a journalist was wide
as the commonwealth, Of yet another
whose name adorned the roll of the
nations senate. There were artists
and other talented fellows with their
ladies and gentlemen until the floor
was full.
In the meanwhile disguised aston
ishment held sway in the breast of
Mr.. Critics. Dolly was at the piano
as usual, her face turned from him.
Her eyes were brighter than was
their wont, but the roses were not
in her cheeks. She was pale from
suppressed excitement. She was
nervous. The sound of the piano on
the second floor caused her to start
violently. Mr. Critics observed the
action and inquired the reason for
lit. She replied that she was feeling
well, different than she ordinarily
felt; she thought she would go to
her room for a few minutes. She
went, and from her room she climbed
through a window, being assisted by
pair of masculine arms. She
mounted the steps to the second floor,
where she stood beneath the dove
crowned arch, her hand in Mullane's,
and said, 81 will" Then she returned
to the back parlor, reseating herself
at the piano. Mr.. Critics looked at
her, grunted and said nothing.
The papers were full CT it the next
morning. It was accounted the most
romantic, the most charming, the
most unique wedding the city had
ever known. Mr.. Critics read the
account, and posted home from his
office, his eyes near to bursting from
their sockets, his breath coming in
explosions. He entered the house like
a tornado. But his coming was eX-
pected and had been prepared for.
Dolly threw her arms about his neck
before he could say word. The gen
tleman mighty in che financial world,
who had good naturally permitted
himself to be retained for the occasion,
patted him gently upon the back ut
tering words which, coming from that
source, were soothing to his heaving
billowing emotions. Mullane grasped
his hand firmly and shook it. Mrs.
Critics gazed at him imploringly.
Two minutes passed and the tableau
was held. Then, after a most tremend-
Gus explosion of breath, Mr.. Critics
spoke.
Il did not know that you were ac-
quainted with-with him." he said,
pointing at MuIlane with his olsen
gagged hand and looking at Dolly.
80, yes, papa, I have known him
for-months, replied Dolly, blush
ing.
"But-but how in the-how did you
manage it, he gasped.
And then Dolly confessed and the
mystery was solved.
eve telegraphed to each other on
our pianos" she said; "and-and we
telegraphed, that's all"
"Well, I'll be hanged" calculated
Mr. Critics. Right before my face
and eyes-humph!"
Then, to his credit, be it said, he
burst into hoarse laugh, and the
company Joined in uproarously.
