MISSISSIPPI RIVER STEAMBOATING IN !
-=-THE OLD DAYS


Compared with the old days when
Mark Twain and his compcers han
died the boats on the Mississippi
River, the plotting of today Is sim
pie proposition by reason OF the
work which has been done By the
government Today hundreds OF
lights arc kindled every night and
by day the dangerous or intricate
crossings are marked by great white
diamond boards. On dark night
the search light enables the pilot to
proceed almost as safely as in broad
daylight
II is estimated that nearly one
half the losses ON the upper river
in those times were the result OF
snagging. Here again an import
ant reduction of the risk in travel by
the river has been occasioned
Fifty years ago it was safe to es-
innate crossing in nearly every
mile Of the upper river There are
less crossings now. but more dams
and dikes In some stretches OF
the river these are very numerous,
As for instance. between ST. Paul
and Prescott distance OF only
about thirty-six miles. there are two
hundred and ffty-one dams, dikes
and pieces of dikes
incidentally it may be remarked
frat the introduction OF the electric
search light has driven from tho
river ono OF the most picturequc o

The Champion Big Fee.

But there have been bigger fees
than the one credited to Mr.. Wick
ersham.
In fact, in one instance the mil
lion mark was reached. James B.
Dill, now a judge of the Court OF
Errors and Appeals i'll New Jersey,
and the important assignment OF
patching up the differences between
Andrew Carnegie and Henry c.
Frick, when the quarrel between
them threatened to disrupt the en-
tire steel industry.
Mr. Dill had no easy case. Il
took virtually his entire time for
one year. He had to delve deeply
into records, and the reconciliation
was conceded to represent the work
of virtual genius.
The price paid was in proportion.
Mr.. Dill got 100000 conceded to
be the highest fee paid to lawyer
in the history of Jurisprudence
The nearest approach IS said to
have been the 100000 which went
to William D. Guthrie for break
ing the will of Henry B. Plant.
But the two cases handled by
| Dill and Guthrie were complicated
and called for long and careful
work If the amount of labor put
upon them be compared with what
.Elihu Root did in the settlement OF
the legal questions following the
death of Russell Sage, it will proba-
bly, be found that for the amount
of services rendered Mr.. Root was
far better paid than either of his
brother counse1ors.
Naturally the settlement of an es-
tate as big as that of Mr.. Sage in
| volved enormous possibilities OF
dispute. Mrs Sage wanted to dc
| justice to all who had claims, BIT:
she was equally eager to avoid lon1
delays and vexations
Therefore she summoned her ad
wiser and ordered him to retain
Mr. Root.

The noted New Yorker was at
that time Secretary of War. H
explained to Mrs Sages adviser
that he was too much engrossed II
the duties OF state to have time fol-
private practice, and that he woule
have to decline the case But ths
adviser was persistent and said tina
he had orders to get Mr. Root
In the expectation that by charg
ing what he thought an exorbitan
fee he would get rid of the case, Mr.
Root set S25o,ooo as the only posi-
bic price at which he could take TIL
case To his astonishment Mrs
Sage accepted by wire next day,
The Secretary then went into tn
case. 1t took him just forty-eigh
hours to do the business; he wa
required to hire no additional al,
and he never had to go to court a
all. But he cleared up the Who'll

IDEAk WIVES.

More than 100 bachelors and wild
overs have made appeals for wives
to the Rev. DR.. Vaughn Of the Hal
stead Street Institutional church, Chi
cago. The letters Of many Of the
yearning SWANS, all describing in de-
tail the qualifications Of the women
whom they desired as helpmates, wers
read to an appreciative congregation
by the pastor of the church at the
Sunday evening service on May 2,
and DR.. Vaughn used the material he
obtained from the letter to preach a
sermon on the subject Of "The Ideal
Wife,"
While the qualifications mentioned
for wives were varied and amusing In
many cases, it was evident that most
of the men who wrote to, the, pastor
were serious in their requests. Every
man wrote that he did not wish his
wife to be q college graduate, nor a
club woman or. a, reformer.. Neither
was it considered essential that she
be pretty or talented: What every
man wanted was an "old- fashioned
girl" Also every aspirant for nlatrf-
monial bliss wrote that he wanted his
wife to be a good cook; -
