Before and after school hours he
worked on the University farm under
the direction of Professor Swallow
and in the office of E. w. Stephens
who was then the editor of the Co.
lumbia Herald. In this manner
he paid his expenses.
The status of Mr.. TOrrey then was
unique. He had no money, but
he was not poor in spirit. He
needed much but took nothing
for nothing from any mans
hand. Opportunity was all he
asked and he always made good
There is not person who ever did
him kindness whom he has not re-
paid. Mr.. Torrey's ancestors came
from England in 1920 and located at
Scituate, Mass. His parents moved
to New York and afterward to Pitts
field, Pike County, Illinois. One OF
his raternal ancestors enlisted twen-
ty-One times in one year in Massa-
chuSettS to fight Indians and repel in
vasion.
When the University battalion was
organized Mr.. TOrrey was appointed
captain of Company c. After the
first public parade of the bat
talon his company was considered
the most perfect in drill Many of
the men of Missouri, who are widely
known and highly respected were
members of that company. His
fellow captains at that time were
Curtis b. Rollins, now one of the Gu
rators of the University, the late
Robert Pagan, of Oregon. and Jer-
rOld r.. Letcher, now clerk of the
United States Court at Salt Like
City. While at the University Mr..
TOrrey was a member of the Zeta
Phi Fraternity which afterwards be-
came. and now is. a chapter of the
Beta Theta Pi.
Major Rollins. THE father of the
University" in speaking of the stu
dent at the time he left the Univer-
sity said: 'NO matter what young
Torrey undertakes he will succeed"
In 1874, Mr.. Torrey went to ST.
Louis, purchased a newspaper route
on the Globe, maintained himself fl
nancially as carrier thereon and
attended Washington University. in
order to complete the course he had
started at Columbia. The next year
he entered the Law Department of
Washington University and in 1876
received the degree of LIB. Prior to

JUDICIAL REFORMS.

A former judge of the United
States District Court in an address
before the senior class of the Kan
sas City Law School, Indignantly
said, why are statutes enacted at
all, if, when construed by the highest
judicial authority, the precedent is
not followed? If precedent is ta-
booed, in forms of procedure, rules of
evidence and all technical learning
are to be disregarded. in reaching
what the Judge and jury may deem
to be the right of the case; then all
of wisdom, experience, study and
garnering of the great jurists and
expounders of law would be obso-
lete!"
The judge did not take into consid-
Grafton some errors in the so-called
precedents. Shall We keep on the
wrong path, because our fOrefathers
gave us some wrong precedents?

Jay Linn TOrrey, red headed,
brown eyed, sturdy youth, came to
the State University from Pike Coun-

Born in Pike County, Illinois and
reared in Pike County, Missouri. he

from the Pike Counties of two States.
In addition to living at Louisiana at
Pike County, he has lived both at

Mr.. TOrrey's first case was before
he was admitted to the bar and the
papers were signed by him as agent
rather than as attorney. At the trial
the case was lost. He caused it to
be appealed to the circuit court
where it was lost again. He caused
it to be appealed to the St. Louis
Court of Appeals, which reversed the
ruling and sent it back for re-trial
in the circuit court. And on the
fourth. and final trial, he obtained a
verdict for his client.

IN MEMORY OF PASTEUR.

The house in France where Louis
Pasteur was born is to be preserved
as a memorial to the great scientist.
Other memorable in the way of stat
ues, inscriptions on public buildings
and the like commemorate him but
as the world grows farther away
from Pasteur's time and his great
discoveries are further developed,
his place on the roll of fame becomes
still more firmly fixed.
other scientists there have been.
but few so daring and so progressive
in their work as Pasteur. He left
the beaten paths of science to work
out ideas radically new and their
chief aim was alleviation of the suf-
fering of man.
Before the discoveries of Pasteur.
the disease of rabies was incurable.
Although not so common as some dis
eases it was by no means rare, and
every victim was doomed to a death
of thousand agonies. Not even
leprosy can compare with the horrors
of rabies. Now the disease is cur
able by the Pasteur method.

Pasteur have Influenced the cru
sades for pure food and clean milk

UNDERSTATURE A HANDICAP.

1t is said that the size of men has
much to do with their success, that
where large men and smaller ones
are competitors the large one always
gets the preference. 1t is further
asserted as reason that large men
are usually more capable, steady and
brOad-minded than those who are
understood. Little men it is said
are fiery, impetuOus, lack judgment,
pOise and steadfastness of purpose.
That is to say, small men are not
fully developed; they are neither
boys nor men. AS these assertions
are often made in all seriousness one
or two comparisons might not come
amiss.
Jack Johnson is a big man and
he has had success as a result of his
bigness; on the other hand General
Philip Sheridan was of diminutive
stature. Time gives evidence of
achievement. How will the men
compare forty years hence? Yet
popular speaking Johnson is we'll
developed while Sheridan was a mere
boy. Another boy in physical devel-
opment. Napoleon, will be remem-
bered longer than the big policeman
who ambles his way along the street.
When it comes to the matter of occu-
pying space the small man cannot be
a competitor.
Was it Franklin who said in sub
stance?
"Were l so tall that 1 could stand
and reach the pole
Or grasp the ocean within my span;
1 must be judged by my soul,
For 'tis the mind that makes the
man."

procure a start in the world for two
other young lawyers-one of them
being Colonel Cyrus p. Walbridge
afterward Mayor of St. Louis and
now one of the leading business men
of the Mississippi Valley. During the
first year of his practice, Torrey's le-
gal fees amounted to about $500
and increased every year thereafter.
Within the first twelve years after
arriving in st. Louis he had, in ad-
ditiOn to perfecting his studies at
Washington University, graduating
in the law and conducting a success

follows:

Mr.. TOrrey was defeated for Judge
of the Circuit Court of St. Louis by a
majority of 722 votes in a total vote
of $4,000. But in a congressional
contest it was shown by an examina-

Jolliwell says he will do it himself
He "gets on the job" scraping the
walls, covering himself with plaster
from head to foot. His efforts to do
the papering are worse. He upsets
the paste, ruins the carpet and gets
all mixed up in the paper, much to
the disgust of his wife, who gives
him piece of her mind and tells
him few things we won't print.
