LAWYERS AND THE LAW.

Does College or Office Turn Ont tho
Best?
The University Of Chicago has been
investigating the study Of law and has
ascertained that lawyers Office is no
longer a shop in which lawyers are
made, but that 1t requires study in
college to do the business. There are
lawyers and lawyers, and some law.
yerS are better than other lawyers.
Again, lawyers are born, just as poets
are. All the study in the world would
not have made poet Of John Marshall.
Ben Hardin was a great lawyer be-
cause he thought law, and it is the only
way to make great lawyer. Napoleno
was great soldier because he thought
war. Tennyson was a great poet be-
cause he thought poetry.
Matt Carpenter, who had no supe-
riOr at the bar, studied law in Rufus
Choate's office, and there was not a
college in the world that would have
afforded him so excellent a school.
Salmon P. Chase read law in William
Wirts office. A great lawyer must
understand the philosophy Of the law.
A mere clerk can find you the precc-
dents. A lawyer who thinks a thing
Is law merely because some judge so
decided may be a successful practi-
toner, but he is no lawyer. He is a
clerk and plodder, and will never be
anything else.
Chief Justice Marshall, the greatest
Of all lawyers, used to say IL consul
tation, "Let us find the right; then it
will be an easy matter to find the law"
Precedent was no more than a cob
web in his path when it conflicted
with his sense Of justice. And Black
stone intimates that precedent, not
founded on justice, is not law.
Webster, Pinkney, Robert Toombs
and Benjamin Harrison did not have to
read library of books to tell you the
law Of a given case. These men
thought law, were deeply grounded in
its PHILOSOPHERS, and they had the legal
mind, which could apply the principles
Of the law to any state of facts. Much
may be gained in college, no doubt,
but as general proposition the law
office Is the place to learn law princi-
pies, and the country lawyer is more

The Past Recalled.

One Of the charms Of travel, partic-
ularly among historic scenes, is the
privilege Of realizing more fully that
past Of which we have read and
thought and dreamed. But much read
ing and thinking needs to be done be-
fore the traveller starts for a country
so rich in memorials of the past as is
Greece. The author of 1.-TWO English
women in Greece" repeats story
which filings a stone at an American.
Of course, the lover of art or of arch
eology should avoid all miscellaneous
alliances, and if he cannot fall in with
those who know, let him take a guide

wise he will receive shocks such as

AS it walked the cracking noise was

vacuums, caused the noise.-Philadel-

Interest in one of the great ro-
mances Of history-the romance Of the
Bonaparte family-has been revived
by the appointment Of Charles Joseph
Bonaparte Of Baltimore as Secretary
of the Navy. Secretary Bonaparte is
a grandnephew Of the great Napoleon.
His grandfather was Jerome Bona
parte, and his grandmother was Miss
Elizabeth Patterson, Of Baltimore,
whom Jerome married during q visit
to America in 1903, when his brother
was First Consul Of France. Napoleon
was not pleased with the marriage, and
to secure its dissolution he vainly
sought the assistance Of the Roman
Catholic Church, one of whose priests
had performed the ceremony. The
French council Of state finally decreed
divorce. Under Napoleon III. the
council Of state, upon an appeal by
the rejected wife, recognized the va
liGity Of the marriage and the legiti-
macy Of her sons. But when Napoleon

to have her grandson, Jerome Napo-
leon, brother Of the Secretary of the
Navy, recognized by the family as a
member Of the imperial dynasty. The
present heirs to the Napoleonic dynas-
ty are grandsons Of the Secretary's
grandfather, and his second half-cous-
ms. Secretary Bonaparte's grand
mother lived until 1879, and fought to
the last for her rights. His father was
born in England, lived abroad most of
the time, was never an American citi-
zen. His brother was an o1Hcer in the
French army. One Of his second
cousins, Louis, is major-ganeral in
the Russian army, and two others are
living on the reputation Of their ances-
tors. The Secretary Of the Navy is
the first Of his immediate family to
identify himself closely with Ameri-
can life, instead Of clinging to a hope
some day Of ruling over France. 1t is
uot too much to say that he is the
worthiest surviving descendant Of the
Corsican family But is it not curl
Gus that Napoleon's grandnephew
should be at the head Of the American
Navy Department?

Winning His Own Rattle.

that had been. brought to light in 9

rattle.
in this rattle the prizes were tur.
keys, ducks, young pigs, baskets OF
eggs and such like rural commodities
A quantity Of steel disks, numbered
from 1 to %, were put into black
bag, and the little daughter Of the
innkeeper put her hand in the bias
and drew disk for each Speculation
in turn. The person whose number
was the highest got the prize.
"Well, it had been noticed that the
innkeeper's wife got the prizes pretty
frequently, but nothing was thought
of this by the simple, honest rural
folk.
Zone evening, though, the little girl
with her hand in the bag, paused. II
was her mothers turn, and she did
not draw forth her mothers disk in
her usual quick and careless way.

STONE BALL REVOLVES.
Placed on a Monument It Is Slowly
Turning Round.

1laCeO ON NIOnuwent 1t LIS Slowly
Turning Round.
In the principal cemetery at Marion
Ohio, there is monument which has
attracted great deal Of attention for
some time. It consists Of a large stone
ball, 36 inches in diameter, resting on
heavy pedestal. This ball is slowly
turning upon it's base, revolving about
horizontal axis in a direction from
north to south, presumably by the &C.
ton Of the. SUMS rays.
The monument was erected a mum.
Der Of years ago by G. B. Merchant, a
local banker, but it was not known
that it was turning until the spring OF
1904, when the cemetery employees no.
ticed that it had apparently shifted 9
little. Since that time it has been
watched and measured repeatedly and
it is established beyond question that
the stone is turning continually.
The ball was never securely fast
ened to the base, but the unpublished
spot was set in socket and it was
supposed that the friction Of the two
rough surfaces would be sufficient to
prevent any displacement At the
present time, however, the rough spot
IS nearly half way to the top on the
north side and has moved over five
inches since the first Of August. There
is very little chance for the perpetra-
ton Of a hoax in connection with this
interesting phenomenon, as the ball
weighs 4,2O0 pounds, and would re-
quire extensive machinery to move it.
A number Of theories have been adj
vanced to account for the cause of
this natural phenomenon. State &C.
ologist Edward Orion, Jr, in letter
to a member Of the cemetery associa-
ton, says that the rotary movement is
probably due to two causes. First, the
ball becomes heated more than the
heavy base and consequently expands
more, giving rise to a slight creeping.
The ensuing contraction might not be
sufficient to take up the displacement
caused by the heat in the earlier part
Of the day. Secondly, we may regard
the circumference Of the sphere as
frightening out on one side and Civ
ing rise to a pulling stress between the
ball and base upon which it rests.
