their gossiping and prepared to listen
This is what Demosthenes told them:
Once there was a man of Athens
who desired to go to Megara; and, ii
being a long distance, and not having
an animal which he could ride, he
hired a donkey for the purpose and
set out. The day was hot and the
road wound over the desert. AS mid
day came on the heat was well-nigh
insupportable. The man looked about
for tree or the friendly shelter of a
rock. but there was nothing but the
burning sand. "Ah. have it." he ex-
claimed at last. II will get off and
sit in the shadow the donkey makes"
So he dismounted and prepared to
rest for a white in that somewhat I'M
satisfactory shade. But the owner of
the beast, who had accompanied him,
objected. you hired the donkey"
he said, but you didn't hire his
shadow. l shall have to charge you
more for that" But l will not pay
it, Then 1 will force you" There
upon they came to blows and finally
took the case into court to have 1t
settled"
At that point Demosthenes sudden
ly resumed his plea.
But the end of the story?" cried
the people in the court room. How
was it settled? Did the man have to
pay extra for sitting in the donkey's
shadow
my friends" said the orator, you
are as bad as these two men; and
like them waste time over a trifle.
You forget that life is at stake,
while you grow wild about a silly
story fit only for children
Then he went on with his grafton,
and the people who listened never
found, so far as we know. whether
the man paid for the donkey's shadow
or not.

ANECDoTE OF DEMosTHENEs

Demosthenes, the great Grecian or
ator, was defending man who was
on trial for his life. But the crowd
of people who had been listening be-
came inattentive and seemed to lose
all interest in the case. They yawned
and chatted and laughed, until the
orator stopping his plea, said: my
friends, I will tell you story" Now
every one likes to hear a story told,
however much he may dislike the
argument of a lawyer; so they ceased

JOHN R. WALSHS LAWYER, NOW
DEAD, SHORT IN ACCOUNTS

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The Tribune
saws: Legal proceedings soon to be IN
stituted in this city will shed light on
the startling financial double dealing
of a lawyer who, until his sudden
death last June, was one OF the lead
ers of the Chicago bar.
The man involved Is the late Ed
ward c. Ritsher. chief personal coun-
sci for John r. Walsh during the
years of Walsh's struggle against the
governments prosecution, and like
wise attorney for the Walsh banks
during the last years OF their SOL
vency.
The trustees OF Beloit college are
seeking the repayment OF between
$50 900 and 100000 of funds OF that
institution which disappeared while
in the keeping of Mr.. Ritsher.
Partners of Ritsher-other mem
bers of the law firm of Ritsher, Mont
gomery, Hart q Abbott-were unable
10 secure their share OF the large
fees supplied from the Walsh defense
fund.
One sum of $4,000 said to have
been paid by Mr.. Walsh to Ritsher
specifically for another member OF
the law nTIl HCNOl 10
from Mr.. Ritsher's pocket TO hte man
for whom IL was intended.
MIR. Ritsher used some OF his own
firms money presumably in the
Walsh defense. He deceived his part
ners, saying TO them month after
month that he was unable to get
money from Walsh, whereas In the
course of the trial and other legal
proceedings Mr.. Walsh turned over
TO him railroad and other securities
valued at 1920, 900 Some of these
we're given as guarantee for notes
some as direct payment for legal fees
and expenses.
Mr.. Walsh knew before the death
of Mr.. Ritsher that his lawyer was
involved and guilty of duplicity, and
once from the penitentiary at Fort
I,eavenworth came an appeal TO the
attorney TO go there and face his old
client-but he did not go. However
II is not understood that Mr. Walsh
intended TO press for an accounting
OF The funds with which he had 60
amply supplied Mr.. Ritsher.

appointed old man Is said to have re
marked. disnnisslng the matter.

ance when the Standard Oil Co. wish

that a woman with sunset locks trap

up secrets desired by the Standard.
Lawson says that not so very long

Archbold's denial OF Iawson's story
was on the point of being taken by an
arch enemy OF the Standard when
Chance bumped him into the raven
haired woman" at one OF the bold,
respectable, for-man-and-beast hostel
ries in Union Square, Manhattan"
Somehow the news of the tryst at
the Union Square hotel reached the
Standard and when the Enemy" gave
evidence OF being stubborn to the US
ual standard influences" he was told
that a certain newspaper was on the
point OF exposing his little New York
experience.
Il will stop the publication II posi-
ble," the "enemy's" informant said,
"If-if." That was the old story over
and over again. Lawson declares. The
enemy" became a friend Of the Stand
ard through the medium OF the Raven
tresses."

MAY 60 ON BENCH
Politicians Fear Colonel Cannot
Help Him Should He Stand
for ELECTION.

ALBANY. n. Y, July Satisfied
that the failure of the big stick to
aid him in forcing through the spe-
cial session of the State Legislature
a direct primary law means that there
is no chance of securing such legis-
lation from the mem berg of that body,
Governor Hughes will not call an
other special session. Last nights
declaration by the Governors friends
that he intended to do so, it Is admit
ted to-day, was premature. and the
Governor will content himself with re-
iterating his position on the question
Of primary reform in the near future
and then take his place on the Su-
preme Court bench, leaving the prob
lem for the party and its new State
boss, Theodore Roosevelt, to solve in
the next campaign.
Both Want 1t.
Direct primaries will be the slogan
of both parties in the next State cam
paign. Many members of the Assem-
bly,. who last night voted against the
Governors bin. admit to-day their
act means their political death. but
| they insist they would take the same
course If they had to do it over again.
Chairman Lloyd Griscom, of the
, New York County Republican Com
mittee, who carried the message from
| Garcia, was very much downcast over
the outcome, and declared that the
action of the Legislature in defying
both Hughes and Roosevelt would
have bad effect at the polls next
fall. Other Republican leaders laugh
ed at this. and declared that Col.
Roosevelt had been misled regarding
the situation.
The Cobb bill, killed in the Assem-
bly, last night. was finally put to death
in the Senate to-day by a vote of rs
ayes to 10 noes. 1t lacked one vote
of the constitutional majority needed
for passage. The Grady Frisbie bill
the Democratic measure, was then laid
aside by viva Voce, thus ending all
chances of primary legislation at this
session.
