BIRD COULD NOT
 STAND TEMPTATION

Admitting in the course of his trial in the Recorders Court yesterday af- ternoon that he had fabstracted $S from box in the storehouse of c. R. Jones, a negro, Henry Bird. was lined $15 and costs by Judge Baber.
 Henry was in the storehouse with Jones at a time when the latter made an incautious display of his wealth. So long as both remained in the apart ment, the money remained also in the receptable where it had been placed, but that state of affairs did not sur vive the departure of the owner from the room.
 On the contrary, when he returned, having left Henry alone for few minutes, he discovered that some of the money had disappeared. Possessed of a well-defined idea of the cause of the happening, Jones reported the oc- currence to the police and Henry was arrested at 10.10 o'clock Sunday night by Officers Smith, Graham and Jack son.
 In the trial yesterday. Henry offered no defense of his action, admitting that he had taken the missing money. The fine imposed. $15 and costs, is equiva- lent to thirty-six days work on the streets of Montgomery in the event that 1t be not paved.

the PartinR.

Father Francis left his room a week after the interview with Lady Betty Drake. The sky was dull and laden with snow. and a bitter wind swept the coast like a scythe. cutting down the weak and feeble in it's path. But the man did not finch from his task.
 He was tired of inaction. During the dreary months of illness his mind had worked unceasingly; he was longing to fling himself once more into the thick of the conflict. Everything had seemed to clear to him as he lay on his bed of sickness. And all the time he was consumed with a desire to speak out his thoughts to the world :. He felt as though God had given him a fresh inspiration, as though his ill., ness had been sent to purify his heart and strengthen the visions of his brain.
 And so once again. regardless of Mir. Lampirthy's opposition, and the doc- tors warnings, he went forth topreach the Gospel to the world. His disciples greeted him with wild enthusiasm, and the Welsh people fiocked in thousands to hear him. His Illness had been so much discussed by the newspapers that 1t had assumed the proportions of a national calamity. His Temperament in public was hailed as an event of su. preme importance. The crowds that gathered together were so immense that his voice was scarcely stron@ enough to reach to the edge of them EvegY day he made hundreds of oono Vertg Co his Cause

Of the nation as will effect if The old story of the two farmers who went to law over a calf. which died twenty years before the case was ended. and
 went to law over a COW, in which the one htigant was to hold the horns and the other the tail while the lawyer miiked--and which ended by the one litisant getting the horns and the other ehe tail. while the lawyer got the COW and the miik-are both apohryphal. but they Illustrate the delays and the ex- pense of litigation to whose correction the Bar Association win probably lend itself.
 Perhaps the ost notable work of the Aerican Bar Association is it's pion- eerfng in favor of uniform laws in the various States. The day was when there was but little interstate busi- ness. and but little trouble was expe- rienced because of divorce laws in the different States. Now it aggregates billions upon billions of dollars year. and tens of thousands of people travel to and fro. so that the call fof uniformity of legislative action is get ting louder as the years pass. The Association has a standing commit tee from the various States whose duty 1t is to assist in securing such uniform- ity of legislation. It has borne fruit already. and the Association feels that the legislators of the country are just awakening to the importance of its position. Uniform divorce laws, uni- form banking laws. uniform laws with reference to negotiable paper and a dozen other propositions are being ad- vocated by the Association.
 No profession has ever increased so rapidly as that of the law. In 1870 there were only 40.000 lawyers in the IInffAA Rxr 1QnA nF rnls fhfrf4r years later. there were 115.000. and when the census of next year isstaken 1t is expected to show that there are about 150.000 6f them in he United States. From 1875 to 1899 the number Of theological students increased 5S per cent. the number of medical stu dents increased TIT per cent. while tn per cent. From 1899 to 1907 the ratio has continued practically the same, except that the medicos have increased more rapidly than in the previous pe- riod. There are upwards of l6.000 law students In the law schools of tho United States each year now, and they are being turned out into the profess sion at the rate of about 14,000 q year. Fourteen thousand new shin- gles hung out annually would seem to indicate an evercrowded profession, but the rate of increase no more than keeps pace with the expansion of business. There Is said to have never been a time in the history of the coun- try when the dockets of the courts. state and National. have been so crowded as they are today.
 Many lawyers are regretting the de- cadence of the lawyer from social standpoint They assert that he has not the same social standing in his as he once had. The vast

increase in the number of lawyers In each community may account for this If 1t really does exist. but there is no indication that 1t does exist when Judged by the political preferments of the people. More than one-half of all the members of the Legislatures of all the States are said to be law yers and more than eighty per cent of the Governors of the States are lawyers Only seventeen of the ninety members of the United States Senate are not lawyers, and a like propor- ton of the members of the House of Representatives reached there by the law route. In no profession are the opportunities for public preferment so great as in the law. Next to 1t Is medicine. though the doctor seldom gets further than the LeEislatures A few of them get through the politi- cal miH as far as the House of Rep resentatives. Representatives Burton. of Delaware; Foster of Illinois; A. D. James. of Kentucky. and Barchfeid. of Pennsylvania. are the medical men who reached the House during the Sixtieth Congress. Jacob H. Caliinger of New Hampshire. is the only doctor in the United States Senate.
 This ascendency of the lawyer in the councils of nations was not aI- ways his History accords to Edward the First. of England, the credit of having started the legal profession. He created barristers, or pieaders. who were to represent the people in their disputes. but 1t was provided by his successors that none of these should be eligible to a seat in Parliament. and It was many years before this ban on the English barrister was re- moved.
 Measured by financial returns the lawyer also maintains his supremacy over the other professions The physi- clan who gets a ten thousand dollar fee is rarely heard of, and the one who has an income of $25.00o from his prac- tice is seldom seen- Yet q ten thou sand dollar law fee is such common. place one as to excite no special com ment.

Such charges are in- hibited by the American Bar Associa- 'tion's proposed code of ethics, which sets forth that the wealth of client wiIl not justify a member of the pro- fasslon in making more than reason able charges for his services
 Legal aid dispensaries promise to be a solution of the question of legal aid for the poor In the big cities Already a number of cities have established such dispensaries, and they have been of great assistance in restraining usurers and others who prey upon the poor and the helpless. It is es- timated that nine-tenths of the crim- inal cases in New York are cases in which the defendants have no money to pay counsel fees. and that there are about two hundred impecunious lawyers who have no clients on the outside. and who hang around the court rooms of the city to get the work of defending these prisoners through designation by the courts. It is estimated that in New York City there are is.0oo cases annually which deserve dispensary aid.
 The newer methods of business are gradually limiting the sphere of &C., tivity on the part of the general prac- titioner of law. Tn the oIden days real estate titles were looked up by law yers who made charges for siich in vestigation. Now title insurance com panies do this themselves, and have their saiaried lawyers to do the work. As a young fellow just from college can look up real estate title just about as well as the lawyer who has grown gray in the profession. he is employed to do 1t, and gets salary of perhaps forty dollars week. Like wise. the lawyer used to be called In to write mans will. He charged a fee for 1t. Now the trust companies are in the market for designation as executors. administrators, etc. and they have their own lawyer to draw up the wills and other papers. And so it is all along the line. But at the same time there never was so much room at the top in the legal profession as there Ia to-day. And never such rewards for getting to the top.

PAY OFTHE SOLDIERS
IT HAS ALREADY AMOUNTED TO
 e23,14e.
Thas is For Pay AIone-Trans- portatiOm and Suntenance VIII More Than Double This

This is For Pay AIone-Trans-. portatiOm and sustenance VIII More Than Double This
 Total.
 A warrant drawn yesterday by State Auditor W. W. Brandon on account of the pay of soldiers in active service in and around Birmingham raised the total of expenditures for that pur- pose to $23.14974. The warrant of yesterday was for $6,00O.
 Thus 1t becomes very evident that the maintenance of the militia in the strike region is a severe drain on the State Treasury. It is estimated that men being on duty is $2,000 per day or S60,000 month. This estimate Is, of course. founded on missing data for there has not been a warrant drawn as yet for the sundry expenses of the soldiers other than their compensa- tien.
 The belief Is generally expressed that the sustenance of the soldiers and the cost of transportation, shifting them back and fro over the district, with the hundreds of incidental ex- penRes. will amount to more than the mere pay of the men.
 Nor is the maintenance of the soI- diers conducted on an extravagant ba- sis It Is a we'll known fact that the Governor is keeping a close watch on tht States strong box and that he Is therefore keeping strict account of the expenditures around the Magic City. He has placed one of the State examiners on the ground who Is bus fly engaged In checking up the &C., counts of the officers in charge, tho cosnmissary in detail and the pay-rolls. Yet the belief Is that, with all the economy that is practiced, 1t will be hard for the State to escape with less than the estimated cost of those in position to know.
 There is no intimation of when the need for the soldiers will disappear. Instead of reducing the forces on strike duty there are signs that they may be augmented. Meantime, the already sagging resources of the Ala bama Treasury are sagging worse.
