the money, my mind Travelled back a
few years, and / remembered a certain
occasion in my life when my financial
condition was a source Of considerable
moment 1 was working in Ohio on
farm owned by my brOther-in-law- 1
was doing a great deal of hard work
during the day and studying at night
10 prepare myself for college. I Was
receiving the princely sum Of $3.50 per
month and my board and washing for
my labOrs, and had saved and pinCh7d
until I accumulated enough to pay the
tuition fees. I was determined to go
to college. and a week or 50 before I
was TO start for the college town 1
found myself in what was to me then
the most serious Quandary of my life.
And l want to say right here that l do
not believe that during the course of
my whole career-aS Il lawyer. in the
army or in public life-have l ever
tackled Il problem which gave me so
much concern as this one did. 1t was
winter and as cold as a blizzard, and
] was cutting cOrdwOOd. The wood was
beech, and as tough a tree to cut as
can be found. / remember that on the
particular day I had set to solve this
problem l cut down a rare old tree, and
before prOce5 ding to cut il up into
lengths sat down on the log, and. TAX
ing my pencil and a sheet of paper,
spent an hour figuring. My trouble was
this: l had two everyday shirts and
one Sunday shirt / was sure things
would happen at college that would
call for an extra Sunday shirt, and I
could not figure out a way to spare
the money. / figured and calculated un-
til i was blue with cold, and then
turned in and cut my stint Of wood TO
V arm up. That evening / submitted
the case to my sister and she listened
sravely. After 1 had presented all the
facts and had summed up my condi-
ton graphically she suggested that 1
should be extravagant for once and buy
enough cloth TO make the shirt. and
she agreed to make it and furnish the
cotton and buttons for nothing. You
have no idea of the relief I felt when
she sols ed my problem fn- me That

HIS SECOND SHIRT.
Serious Problem in the Early Life of
Successful Lawyer.

a group of local professional men
who look back on successful lives, to
whom fees in four and five figures are
every day affairs in the conduct OF
their business. gathered at noontiGe a
few days ago in a pretty little restau-
rant for luncheon, and In some way
the conversation turned toward money
and its value, says the Washington
Star one member Of the group. a dis
tinguished veteran Of the civil war,
referred iaughingly to a remark made
10y another of those present, a very
young man. in reply to a statement that
q certain article cost 800. The young
man had mUhorously denied that there
was ever so much cash in one persons
possession all at once. This led TO
story that is peculiarly American from
the oldest member of the party. who
is a well known lawyer a former gen
eral officer Of the Union army and an
ex-member Of congress.

pause. 1t was an involved affair,
and we were fortunate enough 10
straighten it out to the lasting benefit
Of our client. Our fee amounted to
considerable. but was not quite so
great as the monetary value OF the
gratitude of the man for whom we
worked. He insisted that we should
take a check for s.. 900. That was the
first $1,000 fee 1 ever received. and my
partner gave me the check to put In

PEELED TO have several hundred before
being allowed to do business in this

The fact that she is also one Of the
most earnest advocates of the plan of
insuring motherhood also was a factor
IN determining the action of the COM
