GAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER.
How the Late JOHN Hay Displayed
His Aptitude for the
Law.

When the late Secretary Hay applied
for admission to the bar at Illinois he was
summoned to appear before committee
of prominent Chicago lawyers to be ex-
amined assto his qualifications, relates the
American Spectator.
He went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled; but for
a long time they took no notice OF the
young candidate, but continued to talk Wig
orously together on various subjects. At
last one of the lawyers, turning to him,
said:
Mr.. Hay, what would you do if client
should come to you with such a case as
this?" and he proceeded to describe very
deliberately a complicated legal case.
Il should ask for a retaining fee of $50"
promptly replied Mr.. Hay, "and tell him
to call tomorrow"
Mr. Hay, YOU are admitted" said the
gentleman, and with hearty laugh from
all present the proceedings closed.

PRESIDENT FAvORs'LOCK CANAL

Washington, Jan. 15.-It is expected
President Roosevelt will send a mes
sage to The senate favoring the con-
struction of a lock canal.
He had conferences today with sew
eral members of the senate committee
on interoceanic canals. The message
of the president will favor the con-
struCtion of lock canal on the ground
that it is in the interest of the pres
ent generation and not for posterity,
and that it can be built at less cost of
time and money. 1t is said that the
president incidentally asked the Re-
publican members of the committee to
support the nomination Of Joseph B.
Bishop to be a member of the canal
commission and to use every effort to
prevent indiscriminate reductions of
salaries of canal officers, which he
fears may be the result of the inves-
tigation.
