GOVERNMENT by injunction is the decline. There
NJ has been remarkable change in that respect in
King county and federal courts
With one exception or perhaps two, local judges
are not now eager restraining orders without first
hearing from both parties to the action
Il was not so long ago when the simplest thing
in the world TO get restraining order 1t mattered not
what the merits OF the
Plaintiff would draw up a petition. No notice would
be given the party who to be restrained The court
would hear but side and the only question would be
whether the plaintiff put up a legally sufficient bond
The restraining order would then be signed and il the
party denied day disobeyed it, he would
be in contempt OF court, OF
This practice is still maintained by one judges
But the whole. il has been discarded.
The Judges now issue pon,-blank inunctions
Instead when application is made the sets day
when the other party may present evidence
and argument why restraining order should be issued
The change is a welcome one indeed.

STORIES OF SHERIDAN.
The Great Writer Had Hard Time
Dodging Has Creditors.

Like many a brilliant man before
and sine" his time. Richard Brinsley
Sheridan tad a habit of resting on his
oars bit too long when he thought
himself tired. Then, finding himself
short of money, he would borrow. This
habit increased with his years, and.
moreover his efforts to discharge his
obligations grew less and less. His
reputation at last was such that trades
men demanded cash ON delivery.
Benjamin Robert Hayden. who was
himself woefully addicted to the same
bad habit, tells with evident glee two
stories of his fellow sufferer.
A butcher one day brought a leg Of
mutton to Sheridan's house. The cook
took it, put it into the kettle, and went
upstairs for the money. AS she stayed
away some time. the man entered the
kitchen, took off the cover of the
kettle. fished out the joint and walked
off with 1t.
But the laugh was not always on
Sheridan. A creditor whom he had
successfully avoided for some time
came plump upon him as he emerged
from Pail Mall. There was no posi-
bility of lodging, but Sheridan Gid not
lose his presence of mind.
"Oh," said he, that's q beautiful
mare you're onp'
"D'ye think sop
"Yes, indeed. How does she trot?"
The creditor was pleased-even fat
tered. He told Sheridan he should see
and Immediately urged the mare to do
her prettiest But long before the
animals best pace was reached, Sher-
idan had turned again into PaA Mall
and was lost in the crowd d.-Exchange

foreordained for the divorce court
by her mothers precepts?
On the contrars, if little girl
hears nothing from her mothers lips
but high and noble thoughts, if she
hears her mother talk about the
beauty and the strength that come
from self-sacrifice and devotion to
duty, if she hears her mother con-
stantly give utterance to liberal
views. is it not as sure as anything
can humanity be that such a little
girl will grow up to be a big, broad
minded woman who will bless the
world as long as she lives in it?
We are always icing called upon
to mingle our tears with those of
some mother whose son has gone
astray and brought disgrace and sor-
row upon her. l wonder if it isn't
the mothers talk that ninety-nine
times out of a hundred has started
the boy on the wrong road?
How can the woman who brags of
the souvenirs she has stolen from
hotels and restaurants blame her son
when he turns out a thief? How
can the woman who thinks it clever
to relate how she cheats her hus-
band by getting money from the
tradesmen that is charged on tne
bills as merchandise be surprised
when her son falsifies his accounts?
How can the mother whose talk has
been of expediencv and not of right
expect her son to have rockbound
principles?
1t is mothers talk and not moth
er's pies that stay by us through
life. It's mothers talks that we re-
member when we stand at the cross
roads and we take the straight and
narrow path or the broad downward
highway, accordins as we recollect
the directions she has given us.

THE COUNTRY LAWYER.
A Legal View of Him as the Slave oi
His Clients.

A Legal View of Him as the Slave of
His Clients.
"a professional baseball player in
part bases his claim for Il large com.
pensatiOn upon the theory that in ac.
cepting service he surrenders In a great
measure his liberty and becomes the
property Of his employer" writes Al
mond G. Shepard in Case and Com
ment"
IF this was the basis of compensa-
tion for the lawyer in the rural dis.
tricts he would speedily become a mil
lionaire. For he is the property not
only of one individual. but frequently
of whole community. and the greater
his success, the wider his reputation.
the more abject is his slavery His
clients are tyrannicaL. They know and
recognize no Office hours The month
hand on farm has at least a few
hours between late dusk and early
dawn for repose. but even these are
frequently denied the country lawyer.
Some of his clients are prone to con-
suit him at his residence late at night,
when none of the curious minded vii
layers can see them. and speculate and
gossip on the question and of the ma
ture and purpose of the call. Another
class. believing in the adage that the
early bird catches the worm, at early
sunrise interrupts his slumbers to make
sure that they retained the best law
yer in the county to represent them in
some present or expected trouble"
