clusively to the satisfaction of the

the appointment was consummated.

Young Bessemer Had a Cautious as
Well as an Inventive Head.
The most trivial incidents have often
originated the fortunes OF our richest
men. Take. for example. the fortunes
made out of Bessemer steel. This
genius. young Bessemer, had some idea
of making steel out of iron. but
poor. newly married young man has
no means of experimenting on a large
scale. The story must tell as ! heard
1t from an intimate friend of Bessemer
and is true tale.
After Bessemer had in his small lab
oratory experimental with the metals
and at last obtained the desired result
by blowing air through melted iron he
found in the bottom of the crucible II
little lump of the famous steel. Now
the question was how to make the dis
covery public. He put the lump OF
steel into his pocket and made his way
to Nasmyth of steam hammer fame.

Why Lawyers Fail

Simplify court procedure and re-
duce court expenses is cry heard
all over Vermont, says the Bellows
Fails Times Some lawyers feel that
if court expenses are not reduced an
engaged people win choose a radical
legislature that will use the axe
much too freely for safety. Ii Is uD
to the lawyers of the state to provide
safe and sane method OF simplifying
procedure and cutting down expenses.
The profession has a Bar Association
and through that organization legisla-
ton OF the right kind should be pto-
posed. II municipal courts are un-
necessary and expensive let the AS
ISOLATION say SO fearlessly and pro
pose changes in the statutes elimi-
mating them and providing the prop
or substitute II the office of attor-
ney general is ornamental and much
too costly. let the Association say so
and propose a change that will not
work useless confusion. If the law
yers would take the initiative in pro-
posing needed changes In courts and
judicial procedure with an eye to
maintaining efficiency and saving the
8 ate money. the situation would be
simpliiied, but the public has little
faith in the legal fraternity's doing
anything of the kind. Lawyers are
slaves to precedent. and even the
brightest minds seem TO tremble
when anything like change in
Blackstone or Gritty il proposed.
The popular idea of the lawyers at
titude is well voiced in the following
