1.-THE whole procedure isn't worth the
paper the record II written on" said
Law, complacently "The trial wasn't
regular, and that's why I let 1t 80 on.
See? Overlooking the arraignment
spoiled the whole thing. But wanted
to see how 1t would turn. II the verdict
went for you, We wouldn't say any,
thing. II it went against you, could
appeal, and. ask that the verdict be set
aside, because they omitted the formal
arrangement. It was a clear case Of
heads win. tails you lose OF course.
IL you aren't game, we can drop. But
lit is beautiful case-couldn't ask for
anything prettier."
Carr was game when 1t came to bet
ting on dead sure thing. and he told
his lawyer to go ahead and file the ap-
peal
What head you've got on you." he
said admiringly. ITS a great thing to
be a lawyer"
We'll, yes. we DO have to know a
thing or two" Silas Law modestly con-
fessed.

The second chapter concerns the pro-
ceedings in the supreme court.
Now, II Mr.. Law had brought his

that could be mentioned, the chances
are that his astuteness would have
been justified by the event. His own
supreme court, however, seems to be
more concerned with doing substantial
justice than with maintaining intact
the ancient technicalities Of procedure.
Mr.. Law doubted his ears. and felt that
the foundations Of the legal profession
were falling into chaos. when the
court, disregarding number Of earlier
presidents and following the rule Of
pure reason, read from Hack V. State,
1874 n. w. 1872:
Surely the defendant should have
every one OF his constitutional rights
and privileges; but should he be per-
mitted to juggle with them? Should he
be silent when he ought to ask for
some minor right Which the court
would at once give him, and then.
when he has had his trial and the issue
has gone against him, should he be
heard to say there is error, because he
was not given his right? Should he
be allowed to play his game with load
ed dice? Should justice travel with
leaden heel, because the defendant has
secretly stored up some technical err
ror. not affecting the merits, and thus
secured new trial because. forsooth,
he can waive nothing? We think not"
AS the supreme court had the last
think" on the matter, that settled it..
The judgment below was affirmed.
"Well. now" said Carr aggrievedly
to his attorney. hunting him up In his
office.
I am going to retire from the prac-
tice," he said in q disgusted tone. III
the courts begin to use common sense,
what's the use Of calling the law q
learned profession?"

IOWA THE BEST.

webster City Freeman Tribune.]
I'VE have 800 Iowa people on our
lands in Texas" says the advertisement
of well-known real estate firm. Yet
some people are wondering why the
rural population of this state has fallen
off in the past ten years. The fact of
the matter Is. the high price Of land in
Iowa and Illinois has induced many
land owners to sell to their neighbors
and go where they can get cheaper
farms. The rural population Of Illi-
nois has also fallen of. One of the
other reasons for people leaving this
state is the rigors of the winters. When
farmers and business men become
well fixed" and when the weight of
years Is bearing down upon them and
they are more susceptible to cold
weather. they turn to a warmer cline
and having the necessary wherewithal
southwest to pass the evening Of life.
But Iowa is the best place in the union
for the young man OF industry, thrift
and judgment who wants to make mon
ey out Of the soil. In spite Of the
high price OF land here he can pay out
more surely than he can in any other
country. There are places now on the
boom where a few will get rich in a
short time and where the many will
fail But there is no place where so
many people are prosperous as right
here in the great corn belt. There can
be no possible doubt Of this.

testify unfair to the management Of the
home for the state to continue to send
children to the home without at the
same time making provision for their
proper care. Two years ago the home
had a population of 497 and it now has
$40. an increase of ninety three, due
largely to the practice OF courts sending
children to the home under the provis-
ions Of the juvenile court law. The
law appears to be good. but there
should go with it ample provision for
