while stationed in Chicago the gem

the merits Of his book to the soldier.
Gen. Miles said the plan looked ike
a quick method of exchange, ana tnat

Some days later the general re-
ceived a package containing dozen
Of the books. Then in week came

cramp Rings.

Formerly 1t was customary for kings
OF England on Good Friday to hallow
certain rings, the wearing of which
prevented cramp or epilepsy.
They were made from the metal OF
decayed collins and consecrated with
an elaborate ceremony, some details
Of which are still preserved. They
were highly recommended by the
medical profession" about 1857, for
Andrew Boorde, in his "Breviary OF
Health" speaking of cramp, says;
''The kynge's majestic hath great
helpe in this matter In hallowing
crampe ringes without money or petit
ton"
Occasionally cramp rings played a
persuasive part In diplomacy. Lord
,Berners, our ambassador at the court
of Charles ", wrote in 1903 ITO my
Ilorde CARDINALS grace" for some
'"crampe ryngs," with trust to "bestowe
them we'll, by Gods grace"

In the Future.

The latest scheme is to set type by
wireless.
OF course there will be few occa.
sions when this sort of typesetting
can be utilized, but 1t should give the
Intelligent compositor feeling Of real
comfort to realize that when out Of
town he can hustle to the nearest
wireless station and set column or
two Of type matter in the home office,
with all the usual typographical err
rors in evidence.
Possibly the newspaper plant of the
future will be so scientifically
equipped that all the work connected
with 1t can be done somewhere else
and nobody will be required around
the premises except the cleaners and
the night Waterman.

ATTENTION LAWYERS

The American Bar Association in ses
sion at Seattle last week, adopted the
new code Of ethics which a commit
tee had prepared. one of the chief fea-
lures is that lawyers shall not counsel
clients or allow themselves to trangress
the moral law in fighting their legal
battles. Contingent fees, when sane
toned by law, shall be under the SUI
pervisiOn of the court. 1t is the duty
Of all lawyers TO respect the courts and
to try to keep politics out Of the seec-
ton Of judges Counsel for persons
accused of crime may act in that ca
pacity without regard to therpersonal
conviction as to the guilt Of the accus-
ed. Attempts TO curry favor with uries
by fawning or flattery are discredited.
Lawyers more not represent interests
before legislatures unless they do so
openly. Soliciting business by circu-
lars, etc, is unprofessional. No case
should be undertaken that conflicts
with the final obligation of the lawyer
to uphold the law Of the land.

CONFIDENCE IN BRYAN

Some years ago a japanese hoy in
his far away japanese home read oil
". j. Bryan, and rs he read he was
impressed with the fatherhood Of the
man and the kindness Of bis nature
So confident was he Of these things
that he wrote TO him and said: 81 am
coming 10 you and TO be member OF
your household Mr.. Bryan may
have thought here is a "dreamer' As
SO many people are given TO say OF
the foremost American citizen. And
vet he was no more dreamer than IL
the great and good man 10 whom he
wrote, for il wasn't many months be
fore when one day Mr.. Bryan an
swered his own door bell he found a
japanese boy standing on the thresh-
old Of his home, who simply said; 81
have come" lie was warmly well
coined, became "a member Of the fam
ily circle and for five years received
the tender love and careful training
which was given to the children, and
then went back to his home as much
enriched in character by his contact
with American goodness and Ameri-
can greatness as was his nation when
Perry brought II in touch with Amer
lean civilization. And can we, his fell
low countrymen, born under the same
flag, reared under the same stars,
trained in the same schools, speaking
the same mother-tongue not trust a
man whose matchless manhood and
bigness of heart have encircled the
globe?
