Advice for Lawyers. ~ -
Judge Sanford b. Dole had few
words OF advice to the lawyers In
the course of his response. to the
toast Of THE Bench. He declared
that an experienced lawyer knows
when he IL beaten in court. and that
when a counsel continues to con-
sumo the time OF the court after he
knows that he is beaten. 1t is not
viewed with commendation by the
Judge before whom the case is being
tried. Continuing Judge Dole said
Il suppose there is an attractive
ness to lawyers in a pugilistic con-
test. There is rather close an.
alogy between court rules and Mar
quis Of. Queensbury. OF course
many of US go to. the match because
we are fond OF the game, because
they are the rules Of fair play"

bers OF the Supreme Court Of Ha'
