Charlie Wins First Lawsuit.

The following interesting and
characteristic letter was receiv-
ed by Judge Jeffery from Charles
when l should write you.
Vanderbilt University, and we
are glad to know, is making
good:
Nashville, Tenn, July "a, 10.
Mr.. R. E. Jeffrey,
Newport, Ark.
Dear Judge:
You have owed me letter for
some few months, but a wom-
ans reason shall not cause me
to fail writing you at a time
when | should write YOU.
By now you probably know
that | passed every one of my
tickets with an average of
85 2-3. You can easily guess
that the happiest boy in the
world is at present sojourning
in this city. After months of
slavery / have hammered out a
big one-third of my task and
/ see ahead of me the fulfllment
Of my ambition, heretofore
rather misty and indefnable.
The keenest pleasure in my
success this past two years lies
in the two letters / have Just
written, in which l tell you and
DR.. Jones that I haven't be-
trayed your confidence. You two
have done for me more than you
will ever realize. Only | can un-
derstand and you can never
fully take in the inspiration in
fused into me by the trust of
two grown gentlemen. Per-
haps some day you will be as
tonished to see the gratitude
formed by acts which you two
now regard as mere kindness.
There is a certain expression
often encountered in my stud
les which fits perfectly here,
According to the circumstances
peculiar to each individual
case"
Not yet a lawyer; still | have
already won my first case, and,
although it will appear simple to
you, | want to tell you of it.
One of the clerks was sum-
moned to the magistrates court
to answer for a two year debt,
which he had formed in Arizo-
ma. 1t had been placed in the
hands of a collection agency.
We went to the court together
and here was my course of &C
ton: ,sE.n
| first insisted on an itemized
account of the bill to supple
ment the affidavit sent in by
the creditor. This forced them
to ask for a continuance OF
two weeks in order to get it
from the firm, which I'VE" gra-
ciously agreed to. The case was
settled yesterday and the clerk
paid me four-ffty, which he &C
knowledged was justly due.
My victory lies in the fact that
the agency presented a bill for
$18.75 and refused to comprom-
Use. All along l had the clerks
old receipts, but merely held
back to put them to as much
trouble as possible, so | could
enjoy myself more. Their
methods justified me, for they
attempted to take advantage OF
| the clerks ignorance OF the
law and force a defective gar
nishment on his salary. There
had never been a judgment and
| their garnishment wasn't worth
the paper it was written on.
This will be ridiculously SIM
pie to you, but it was the first
time | had ever done such a
thing and the lawyer for the
collecting agency had me scar

cellent program under the direction Of

than was present at either OF the other
concerts and ample seating accom-
modations had been made for the

end OF the store.
The artists who met with instant
success were Miss Grace Goldberg,
pianist: Madam Gummert, soprano I:
Wilbur Hcrwig. tenor. formerly with

Miss Emma Lore.
Too much cannot be said Of Miss
Goldberg as a pianist. The perform

yond the ordinary and showed that
she possesses exceptional talent. Her
rendition OF ''Rigoietso' was eXcep-
tionally fine Mr.. Herwig made hit

ond selection in part III, as did
Madame Gummert in "Postillion

delight to the audience.

local talent, and the performance
will be largely Instrumental. Mr
Finnegan expects to spring a surprise
by introducing to Wilmington one OF
its own boy sopranos, who is yet un-
known to the general public.
