was retained as one of the counsel in
a will case involving a large sum. A
friendly suit had been brought so
that there could be judicial interpre-
tation of certain clauses in the bill
Judge Field was one of several emf
nent lawyers, who was retained in the
case.
The late William A. Richardson,
who had been secretary of the treas
ury at Washington in President
Grants second administration, and 1
were trustees of the estate. After the
judicial Interpretation had been OBJ
tanned we, as trustees, wrote to the
lawyers, saying that as soon as we
had sold some real estate we should
be able to pay their fees, such at
least as were allowed by the court
We said, however. that If the sale
was made Immediately we thought
we could not get as good prices as
would be the case If we waited for
a more favorable moment.
"All of the lawyers, excepting Judge
Field, wrote to us that they would
like their money as soon as possible.
They did not want to wait. Judge
Field wrote, however, in a different
vein. He told us that he would be
glad to wait, not because he thought
that he could get little more by
doing so-his fee was about $5,000-but
because he knew that il he got the
money right away he would spend it
for one thing or another, and when
it was all spent he would not know
where it had gone. Therefore, he
would regard it as a great favor if
we would keep the fee until he asked
for it, adding that he should not ask
for it until he had a definite and rea-
sonable use for the money.
"He did not ask for his fee until
nearly two years had passed, and
then he made good use of the money.
He was always very proud of his
shrewdness in asking us to hold back
his fee until he made a request that
we pay it over to him.

earliest girlhood she had cherished
the ideag Of becoming a minister,
though in the days of Phoebe's girl

At first she was a Quaker then she
became a Baptist and finally she be-
came a Universalist. She married a

He had so many things to do
He hardly knew where TO begin.
His Office door flew open, and
dream of beauty floated in.
She had message for his wife,
And she had many things to say,
She only stayed an hour or So
1t was his busy day!
He heaved sigh when she had gone,
And turned back to his work again.
Another caller entered then,
And stopped the scratching of his pen
1t was friend, an old-time friend,
Who had been seven months away,
And told him all their history
1t was his busy day
And so it went the whole day through,
Someone was always coming in,
Strangers, acquaintance, and friends,
All primed with desire to chin.
He had SO many things TO do
He felt his hair fast turning gray,
But all day long he entertained

They were just plain angry. They
were about TO say some unkind things
about the discourtesy of men golfers
when one of them stepped up, dotted
his cap and with a polite bow said,

women discovered who it was their
wrath promptly evaporated and they
