A STANDARD OIL LAWYER.
Results of Lawson's Close Range
 Study of Him.

In the court scene which he vividly de- scribes in the July Everybody's, in his article "A Prediction Roll-Call," Thomas w. Lawson places thes figure of James M. Beck, He says:
 Next to the staid and reverend Hemen- way sat an interesting character who has already figured in my narrative, James M. Beck, Rogers personal counsel and ex-A assistant Attorney General of the Uni ted States. The greatness of Beck Is suggested to the ear rather than admit ted by the eye. It is a pygmy man, with large head, large eyes, and a voice out of all proportion to It's source. The eyes are as alert and luminous as the voice is resonant. In connection with him l have thought of miniature lighthouse an- chored over foghorn, even of twin call cium-lights fitted to a megaphone and mounted on a perambulator. Within the inadequate inches of Beck madly strug- gles a great soul-struggles to announce itself fitly and to impress a world sin gularly careless of small men even in short coats and high hats. From every port Beck exhales importance. and bris- ties with dignity as the porcupine with quills and until the bystander bows to the first and feels the other he rages and fumes like a rejected poet. Consider ing this perpetual struggle to set dull world right about one of its great per sonalities, it is not surprising that Beck Is invariably pompous sometimes tragic, and much of the time absurd
