car hitting fat woman.
WAS that Napoleon's way?" whis.
peringly asked Mrs. Bowser.
Mr.. Bowser stepped forward and
took the key and began winding. Aft
er he had wound sufficiently to keep
seven Waterbury watches going for a
month he laid down the key. and the
sacred souvenir went at it and struck
211 times without a halt to rush the
growler.
"The auctioneer had been at st. He

pered Mrs. Bowser.
Woman, retire = slope = get out!
Haven't You the sense to realize that
this clock Is a stranger in our midst? ?
The boy may have jumped up and
down on the box. His wagon may
have been bumped on the way up.
Give the clock time to get little used
to us. 1t was running all right In the
auction room"
Perhaps it will here, but I wish
you had bought something else in

appreciate it / and others can. 1t is a
bond between Bowser and Napoleon"
AS IL felicitating itself over the idea,
the hands on the dial turned the wrong
way four times, and the striker went
at it and struck $40 times. Mr.. Bow
ser stood there with bowed head ana
clasped hands and thought of Water
loo and st. Helena, and Mrs. Bowser
went and sat down and thought OF
auctioneers and what soft marks they
found.
From 8 to half past 10 the clock
gained five hours.
In the next hour and half 1t lost
ten.
During the first interval It struck
$50 times, during the second 1867
times. Mr.. Bowser walked up and
down with his hands behind his back,
as he imagined Napoleon must have
done at st. Helena, and Mrs. Bowser
read a family almanac. At length she
felt II her duty to inquire:
"Mr. Bowser, was Napoleon q man
who was always ON timer"
"To the minute"
"And did he go by this clockT
"Ie did"
"Then lac must have had a hard time

"And you have got some Of his old
coffee and tea pots in the box?"
Mr.. Bowser stood up and flushed
and gIared at her and then sat down
to say:

had in his palace at Paris and on the
island with him. 1t is the greatest and
only souvenir of the great man in

Napoleon heard as lie died was this
clock striking TO-"
"Then it must have been out of
time. for all histories agree that he
died at $50"
She was given q look to freeze her
blood for week to come. and then
MIR. Bowser went for a hammer and
ehlsel to open the box The task did
not take long and in a quarter of an
hour Napoleon's clock was being view
ed as it rested on a bedding OF excel
sior on its back.
Awe and reverence were not absent.
Even the family cat put on new face
as she looked into the box.
"Where are you going 70 put it?"
asked Mrs Bowser in q whisper.

was the answer. "and ! shall have

The LAWYERS Function

Donald R. RichbePg in Atlantic-Tn
the realm of advice a lawyer may
choose between counseling his client
how to uphold the right secured to
him by the justice of his cause. or
how to obtain benefits from the aDr1h
cation of technicalities and the use -
the weaknesses of the particular stat
ute or presidents under considerat on
whereby he may attain ADVANTAGES
inconsistent with fair play between
man and man. Every time a LAWYER
encourages such an application of the
law as, resulting in Injustice, casts
dsrepute upon the law or its admin
lstration, he is plainly promoting dis
cord either in the present or in the
future. Every time a lawyer coun-
sells controversy for the establishment
Of a right as recognized by existing
law, or for the PRONUNCIATION of new
law beneficial to the majority of so
ciety, he is exercising his true func-
ton, and the charge which he laws
upon his individual client and, through
him, upon industry ana progress in
the mass, if reasonable in amount. is
well earned and should be cheerfuIy
paid. When, however, a lawyer gives
the other kind of advice, the expense,
perhaps cheerfulIy borne by the client
who profits personally therefrom.
must be finally laid upon society as
a whole, which is thereby paying for
its own iniur and naturally resents
the charge.
