Passes an Excellent Examination

~ AKLAND, July S1.-Miss Alice
Richardson, for several years
chief stenographer in the office
of District Attorney ]. J. Allen,

cessfully passed an examination she
took yesterday before the Appellate

entitled TO practice law in the courts
of this State.
When District Attorney Allen was
elected to that Office he appointed
George H Richardson, a brother OF
Miss Richardson, his chief stem
ographer. Shortly afterward Richard
son resigned and his sister became his
successor. The legal atmosphere Of
the District Attorneys office caused
Miss Richardson to take up the study
Of legal lore, first for pleasure and later
with the determination of becoming a
regularly licensed practitioner For
three years she has been studying and
reading.
District Attorney Allen and Attor-
ney W. S. Goodfellow stood sponsors
for Miss Richardson and signed her ap-
plication to the Court OF Appeal That
her legal training had been properly
conducted was proved by the remarks
OF Judge s. P. Hall, one of the exam
liners, who stated that Miss Richard
son passed a more satisfactory exami-
nation that any woman he had ever
known.
Miss Richardson stated today that
she was undecided about the future,
as it is probable that she will remain
in the office of the District Attorney
until the expiration of his present term.
Then she will either open an office or
secure a position a clerk In law
Office.
F. NJ. Shay, a newspaper man of
Oakland, also passed a creditable
examination and was admitted to the
bar. He will practice his profession in
Oakland and will probably be asso-
ciated with his father, Frank Shay,
who is a well-known Southern Pacific
Company attorney.

Do you realize that pain is
weakening, and exhausts your
vitality? Don't you remember
how completely worn out you
felt after that last attack of
headache, neuralgia, backache,
periodical or other spell Of suf-

inflammation, apoplexy, paraI-

directly due to the weakening
influence of pain upon the
brain nerves? For this reason
every one who suffers from
pain OF any kind should not
fail to get relief as quickly as
