THE LAWYER.
Colonel Lewis Gives Him Only Eight
Hundred More Years to Practice.


Colonel James Hamilton Lewis. corpora
ton counsel of Chicago, politician, former
congressman, wit and after dinner speak
er, says:
In 800 years-yes, before that period has
elapsed-the lawyer will be without a pro-
fession.
THE law is in the midst of great
changes" he said to a Chicago Post
writer. i believe that in fifty years the
evolution will have progressed SO far that
we will have a tribunal something like
those of ancient Greece where any man,
whether he be lawyer or not, can go and
present his case.
THE lawyer. except as an advocate, is
disappearing from the world. The neees-
sity for him is waning Men are learning
10 get together and settle their business
matters or their troubles without him.
There was a time when the law offered
man preferment, honors social entree
and everything to be desired. Not SO to-
day. The lawyer is looked upon as par
asite. feeding on the body polite. On every
hand we see lawyers turning away from
the practice of their profession and get
ting into channels of life offering them
better returns for their abilities
1 say without hesitation that the law
yer is the lowest paid worker in any class
of endeavor to be cited, considering what
he puts into his work. Take the corpora
ton lawyer getting perhaps $500 or $1,000
year, He makes it possible for his en-
ployers to accumulate millions Take the
lawyer who defends the corporation dam
age suit. What does he get for the life
blood he puts into his fight?
Take the criminal lawyer. He gives
his very flesh to the cause. He saves life
and liberty, and In return what does he
get but paltry sum?
Il repeat that the world Is learning to
get along without lawyers. You ask mo
If 1t is not true that the colleges are not
turning out more lawyers today than ever
before and that the number of lawyers in
proportion to the population Is increasing
am not prepared to say that such is the
fact. My opinions have been decried by
the law schools that are turning out law
yers to starve
I'VE do not have to go far back to see
what an evolution already has taken place
in the legal calling Now it is not learn
ing that takes man to the front; 1t Is
not depth of wisdom, years of study or
conscientious work What is It? Paper
cap explosons-noise
mo longer is 1t necessary for a man
to be lawyer to go to Congress; business
men go there. The places once considered
as belonging only to the lawyer are going
to men in other walkssof life. The lawyer
on every hand is being crowded out. The
people are becoming intelligent enough to
get along without him as an intermedi-
ary."

REvELED IN PERFUMES.


the Ancients INDUCED In Them n.
an Extravagant Degree.
Inc use Of perfume was INDUCED In
to such an extravagant degree by the
ancients that some of the more ascetic
men had good reason to denounce il.
Scion issued an edict prohibiting its
sale In Athens. Julius Caesar and Lu-
cinus, who were Roman consuls in
565. published law forbidding the
sale OF exotics in that city, and by
the laws Of Lycurgus perfumers were
expelled from Sparta as being vast
ers Of oil and encourages of sensuous-
ness. Clearchus wrote against the ex-
cessive use of unguents, and Socrates
detained against them In strong
terms, preferring. he said, 1.-THE smell
of healthy toll and the perfume of a
good and manly life" 1t was custom
airy at festivals to pass round to the
guests perfumes served in alabaster
boxes and vessels of gold. At one Of
these feasts Cynulcus, who loved to
deride the youth for the use of per.
fumes, was made a butt for their rid
lcule. Some misshievous youth anoint-
ed the cynic with much ointment,
pouring it lavishly over his head and
face. When he awoke he exclaimed
in an angry voice: What is this? Oh,
Hercules, will not some one come with
sponge and wipe my face, which is
thus polluted with a lot of dirt?'
At the Syrian banquets it was usual
for the slaves to come in with bladders
full of Bahylonian perfumes and be-
dew the garlands and walls and hang
ings and fiji the halls with delicious
fragrance. In some of the more mod
ern feasts statues and ornaments We're
provided with jets which threw out
diluted essences and attars.-London

LOOKING FOR MISSING WIFE
Wishkah Farmer Thought Body Found
at ChehaIis Might Be She.

ABERDEEN, Oct. 19.-The finding
of the dead body of a woman in the
Chehalis river is having the unusual
effect of bringing other domestic in
felicities to light. Upon hearing of
the finding of the body, well known
farmer from up the Wishkah came to
town to see the remains and find out
if they were the those Of his wife.
The description of the two women
tailed almost exactly, excepting that
the wife of the farmer had longer hair
than that on the head of the corpse.
1t seems that the rancner's wife left
home a few weeks ago and came here.
bringing one of her three children with
her. The husband followed her and
reclaimed the child. The woman was
not seen afterwards, and her husband
thought she might have come to the
point where she took her life in des-
peration A man named Wilson, liv-
ing at Wishkah is advertising that his
wife has left him, and that he will
not be responsible for her debts.

LARGEST ENGINES IN

steaming capacity of 200 pounds. The
engines are capable of each hauling
eighty loaded freight cars up a 1 per

To accommodate this engine a new
turntable is being built in the yards
here. They will be used to haul pas
