THE SUCCESSFUL LAWYER

The comic papers and the stage, as
well as other causes have combined
to produce false impression of the
lawyer He is shrewd, tricky, de-
ceptive. He is devoid of all the fin
er feelings of humanity. He is a
sort of man of which MARKS" in
"Uncle Toms Cabin is an accentu-
ated type.
But as a matter of fact, the success
full lawyer must have conscience
and heart and both robustly de-
veloped. His integrity must be be-
You'd question and his sympathies
readily enlisted in a worthy cause.
Your lawyer must be your friend. If
you cannot trust him with your most
delicate affairs whom can you trust?
To be sure he is under great temp
tation.
Like the newspaper man he sees
much of the seany side of life. BE
touches the race at some of its worst
points, Yet he does not lose entire
confidence in his fellow man. Nor
does he Withhold his sympathies.
And withal his head is packed fun
of the countless principles and pre-
cedents of the law and he knows hui

In the midst of litigation he is un-

Moreover he is a friend of peace.
He does not counsel litigation. |

THE SECRET is OUT.

Perhaps the secret of the long skirt
has been revealed. One who ought
to know has proclaimed that most
women are pigeon-tOed.
For years women have persisted in
wearing street sweepers, without
reason or excuse acceptable to the
masculine mind. Not even the pave
ment is benefited.
The trailing skirts stir sleeping
microbes into action and to Judgment
in ruffies and lingerie. BY this
means the bugs are carried into the
homes, where they get busy in con-
sumption, diphtheria, typhoid, or
other diseases.
The world has wondered how wo-
men, so exquisite i'll taste in other
things, could be guilty of this dan
gerous and nasty practice.
At last the secret is out. 1t is the
pigeon-toes which women seek to
hide with long skirts.
Pride goeth hand in hand with the
dirt and disease.
OF course, not,all women with long
skirts, have pigeOn-toes. But the
pigeon-toed set the fashion, and with
women fashion is absolute law.
We are accustomed to the know
ledge that our idols have feet of clay,
but the tip that they are not set on
straight is new and Illuminating.
Much is now clear which before
was mystery.

NEED FOR MISREPRESEN-
TATION.

Possibly the most unsayOry public
character in the state is Charles
Swayne, Judge of the U. S. district
court for the northern district of
Florida. y committee of the lower
house of congress has investigated
him and said ne should be impeach-
ed. Such action but accentuates the
popular estimate Of the man, who is
charged not orty with Incompetence,
but with being corrupt.
With these facts before the public,
there can be little wonder that Con-
gressional Candidate j. NJ. Bars OBJ
jects to being classed as the side
partner and supporter of Swayne.
lie has been so charged, but only by
such papers as are willing to accept
fairy tales, or draw on their over
wrought political prejudices and fer
vid imaginations for facts.
AS an act OF simple justice to Mr..
Bars, eX-Congressman Charles M.
Cooper who is conYersant with the
facts in the case, comes to his aid
and denies in toto all that these pa
pcrs have said concerning Bars sup
port of Swayne.
Mr.. Cooper is probably not a sup
porter of Bars, but he is a democrat
who believes in fair play.
Bars fought Swayne's nomination
and confirmation. He prepared the
resolution adopted by the legislature
of 1898 memorializing congress to inn
peach him, took the resolution to
Tallahassee and stayed there until
it was unanimously adopted. Mr..
Bars was also a witness against
Swayne in the recent congressional
committee investigation
Mr.. Bars has about all the fight
on his hands that he can we'll care
for and there has never been an en-
euse, let alone necessity, of resort
ing to foul methods of doing him."

A BILLION OF GOLD.

While the politicians have been
busy discussing the money question
the miner has been working out a
practical solution.
We have more than billion dol
lars of gold money.
Sometime ago the treasurer of the
| United States said the government
had 1868, $4,000 of gold in its vaults.
The banks have $522O0O,OOO. And
besides this gold in sight there Is a
large but indeterminate quantity Of
the yellow money in private hands.
A billion of gold! That's over Sl2
per capita.
The glittering stuff in Uncle Sans
vaults alone is four times as much as
the famous Bank of England holds.
And it only lacks n little of being as
much as the Banks of England and
France combined can boast.
a billion in gold!
During the past five years the mi
ner has been adding $50, OOO, 900 IL year
to our pile of metal money. Some of
it came down from the Klondike and
some OF it was dug out of the Rock
| les and some more comes over in
ships to pay our balances.
Not all economists are agreed as to
whether gold is the ideal money.
Some say it is amtiquated and bar
barrie, an unscientific basis for Il cur
rency. But the fact remains that it.
goes, as money, over the civilized
world.
A billion in gold!
We are surely a prosperous and
rich people. Nature has done much
for us and we have done much for
ourselves. We can afford to be
thankful as we'll as to boast.
Besides-So long as we have bill
lion of gold money we need not
brighten ourselves over Wall street
AS long as we can hold so much Of
the yellow metal in our strong chests
and issue certificates against it we
need not worry about keeping the
wolf from the door.

INSANITY.

Superintendent White of the gov
eminent hospital at Washington,
who has made Il close study of insan-
ity, its cause, and the statistics con-
corning mental diseases. recently de-
stroyed some current beliefs about
insanity.
For instance:
1t has been taken for granted that
farm life is conclusive to insanity.
Isolation and lack of interests and
amusemeuts, it has been said, cause
men, and especially women, to go in
sane.
Mr.. White shows by statistics that
insanity prevails more largely in in
dustrial communities than in agri-
cultural districts. There are three
times as many insane persons per
capita in Massachusetts as in Texas.
And the reason:
Insanity prevails where life is
strenuous because of the strain and
worry. People have but little leisure.
They are concerned about the means
of subsistence. Life under such con-
ditions is next door to tragedy.
These things are true as to the col
ored race as well as the white. The
ratio is the same for the same reason.
The negroes of the south take life
easy. They are content to live from
hand TO mouth, taking no thought
for the morrow. There are plenty of
Relaxation comes often.
The negroes Of the north go a differ
ent pace. Competition affects them.
colder climate demands more
clothes and more hustling for food.
Conditions bring worry into their
ives.
The conclusion is plain. The simp-

often stands all alone in the face of
public opinion. He scornes the shy
ster. He keeps himself clean and is
a true man.
Society owes the lawyer an apollo
gy. Hence this brief euIogy.

Ter the life the less liability to insan-
ity.
Look at the Indians, says Dr..
White.
So long as these aborigines live a
life free from fret and worry there is
no insanity. 1t is only when arti-
fetal living and desire for dollars
is introduced that insanity follows:
