Hardly, II Half Those Who Pratice Eearn
Only 81, 200 a Year.

Ia the United States to day
there are over 175 600 lawyers
more than IN any other profession
or calling save teaching aud med
lclne. In addition TO this mum
Der there are thousands of young
men IN law offices aud colleges
educating themselves for the law
"a mighty army Of legal repres
entativcs lighting and preparing
TO fight the battles of life.
To one city alone there are
over 10, 900 lawyers, three. fourths
of whom are wholly dependent as
means of livelihood. While
from 80 to 80 per cent. are sue
cessful practitioners with good
incomes and monopoly upon the
better class Of law busiress 1t is
safe to say that the remaing so
per ceut make on an average less
than 81, POO year.
In many law Offices IN our lar.
ger cities you will find a half
dozen or more lawyers occupying
merely clerical positions and
working for others, like insigni
ticant cogwheels IN mighty ma
chine, on salaries of from fifteen
to twenty-five dollars a week,
and who congratulate themselves
that they are able TO hold their
pcsitlons.
A motorman on a street car re
celves from SIS to $40 week for
his services and he is sure of his
money. A clerk IN a dry goods
store, railroad or insurance of.
dce receives from 800 to $25 a
week.
a bank clerk is PAID from SO
to $3.50 a month A skilful me
chanic or rnachinist earns from
$3 to $40 day.
Many business men ccmmand
salaries Of from $4,000 to $25, ,00(
a year. A travelling salesman
sells goods on com mission, ano
earns from 81, 900 to s., 900 year
and perhaps more. A reporter
on daily newspaper makes more
money than the average lawyer

face of these conditions, is 1t not
time that you were asking your
self the question. Does 1T pay tC

STOLE STEEL TRAP.
Found with Goods on His Person. Con.
elusive Evidence OF Guilt.

On account OF the snow last
Friday night, a few of Judge MOI
ton's old hens chose to roost in a
willow tree near the house ia pre-
ference tc going to their regular
place of spending the night. On
Saturday morning~it was found
that big "hoot" owl that had
been out on foraging expedition
had captured the incest fattest
hen IN the bunch, carried her
some distance from the tree, and
lndulged in a swallop supper
leaving enough of the hen for an.
other good meal. The Judge knew
enough about the habits of owls
to be certain that the owl would
return the next night for another
mess, and told his son George to
set steel trap. Saturday after.
noon, George drove the necessary
stakes around the remains of the
old hen, placed an innocent look
ing steel trap, andawaited results.
George came to town IN the even
ing, and when he retur 1ed home
about nine o'clock, he went to his
trap and there, sure enough, was
Mr.. Owl. The owl was consider
ably EN- barrassed, but did not at

owl had brought with MIN stee

ing rather freely and was consider

ting ont of the hack he took roll
of bills out of his pocket and paid
his fare over the mountain. Aft
er some time he started to walk
out to Mr.. Summers and when be-
tween this place and the tollgate
west of town he was attacked by
three men, knocked down and re-
lieved of his nancy amounting to
about S25. After the robbery he
returned to town and went before

AN EELSKIN FOR RHEUMATISM.
II Keeps the Joint Warm and the Oil
Helps 10 Soften the Skin.

II Keeps the Joint Warm and the Oil
Helps TO Soften the Skin.
Do you know that an eelskin IN
one of the best things you can
try for rheumatism? Some folks
think that the eel, beng naturally
lin Der and quick IN its motions,
gives a virtue to the skin, and
tins makes rheumatic JOINT as
linn ber as the eel itself, but there
ISM t much in that notion. It's q
kind of magic, you know.
But the eelskin really does do
good, and the way 1t does is thls'
The eelskln is just like leather,
only not so thick, and it feels like
a piece of tough kid that has
been soaked in oil.
Nov, you wrap the eelskin
round your knee and tie 1t on, or
pin it on, it doesn't matter which,
and it keeps the joint warm and
the oil makes the skin soft, and
after while your rheumatism is
gone. People laugh at the idea
and call 1t an old woman's notion,
but some old women's notions
are pretty good notions. The
Valley Times.
