gave him and one day woke up to learn that he had been swindled out of all he possessed. He never told any one how he lost his fortune and enjOlned secrecy on his brothers at tOrneys. By this time he was too old to make another fortune and lived a precarious life till he finally died from want of proper suStenanCe and medi- cal attendance. A number of persons whom he had befriended bought lot in the cemetery and buried him there.
 Ben Rogers became the most infu- ential man in the town, and when any important town matter was to be de- cided he was called upon for his opin- ion. He built n church on q worthless tract of land he owned and sold off the rest of the tract for another fortune. He established other institutions, con irving to make money out of all of them.
 When he died he left money for 8 suitable monument, desiring that he should be buried in the park that bore his name and which 1t had given him so much pleasure to have provided for the enjoyment of the people of his na- tive town. Ills executors had been in- stIcted by him before his death to provide that statue, for which and its pedestal S5O,OOO had been provided in the will"
 When the narrator had finished his story l expressed a desire to visit the grave of Samuel Rogers. He told me that the cemetery was not half a mile away, and I determined to take a stroll in that direction. He also told me where to find the grave in among the less desirable lots. thanked him for his story and passed on.
 When I reached the cemetery ask cd a well to do looking person l saw there If he could direct me to the grave of Samuel Rogers. He looked at me doubtfully, then said:
 q reckon you're looking for the mon- ument of Benjamin Rogers, the philan- thropist and founder of Rogers park. It's in the center of the town"
 passed on and presently at little distance saw q grave covered with flowers. Approaching 1t, read on a cheap headstone the name Samuel Rogers. the friend of the poor"

DIVERGENT
 PATHS
By DONALD CHAMBERLAIN

Having business in a small town in the west l found within It's limits very pretty park bounded by substan- ttnl improvements. In its center was bronze statue of man h civilians dress, in one hand a roll of parchment. I fancIed that the original was either a distinguished public man or q philaa- throptSt-quite likely the latter. Meet ing man who appeared to occupy an average position in the town accosted him and asked him whom the statue represented
 There's n story connected with 1t, be replied, and If you will sit beside me on one of these benches I will tell 1t to you"
 We seated ourselves, and he told me the following story:
 This is Rogers park, and that Is a statue of Ben Rogers, who founded 1t More than fifty years ago Ben and Sam Rogers were boys, somewhat ragged, playing marbles and ball and such otn- CT boys games right here where this park Is now located. It was then vacant tract and considered worthless. Now the property bordering on 1t Is worth millions.
 sam Rogers. the younger brother, was picked out for q failure in life be- cause be couldn't hold on to his money. He was what was called chicken heart ed, and whenever he saw any one in trouble for want of money down went bis hand into his pockeS; Ben. on the

contrary, was marked Tor rich man. He looked out for himself and rolled up money in a small way from the time he was ten years old.
 Ben Rogers stayed right here in this town and accumulated money slowly till the man who owned the land on which We are sitting died, and 1t was sold out for a song. Ben bought it and conceived the Idea of making q park Of 1t. He secured options on all the bordering property, then gave hls original purchase to the town on con ditIOn they would make a park of 1t.
 sam Rogers when about twenty-five years old left the town, regretted by every impecunious person in 1t The more successful citizens said, "A good rildance" At the end of a dozen years Sam came back and surprised every one by bringing a fortune with him. When asked how he got 1t he said 1t was by pure luck. This was all they could get out of him, but learned the truth long after his death. He had loaned a man a hundred dol lars to save a piece of property he owned, the property afterward be- came very valuable, and when the owner died, having no one else to leave 1t to, he left 1t to Sam Rogers.
 Sam on his return resumed his giv- Ing to needy persons, only he now gave $1O where formerly he had given 10 cents. Ills brother, Ben, had been say Ing his money and had got enough to- gether to begin to think about making an investment on larger scale. It was soon after Sam's return that the orig inal owner of this property died. Ben not having enough money to carry out his enterprise called on his brother to go in with him. Sam said that be didn't want to make any more money than he had already, but he would loan Ben all he wanted.
 ''I was then studying law with Ben Rogers attorney and know whereof I'm going to tell you. Sam paid no attention to the securities his brother

 Government officials and the people of the capital are a unit in extending invitations, through the press of the country, to the nation to visit Washington during G. A R. week. Plans are being perfected to make the encampmnt and the Grand Review an event of national import aDce.
 An elaborate program of enter taiumeu. for the veterans and citi- zeus who visit the capital at that Iime is being prepared The war department and the navy depart ment ore cooperating in the pro- gram.
 The former has arranged for eN- ribiticu drills of [. s. troops, cay airy, artillery, and infantry, at Fort Myer, which is a suburb of Washington. Some of the best soIlicrs in the army are stationed at Fo~. AIyer, particularly the cay airy. which numbers among the en- listed men many of the greatest riders ill the world.

COUNSEL AND CLIENT.
A LawySr's Right to DefOnd a Prisoner
 He Knows to 30 Guilty.


 He Knows to 30 Guilty.
 Ought an advocate to defend pris- oner whom he believes to be guilty? Mir. Justice Darling in q case in which a solicitor was the plaintiff made some observations on this familiar problem which ought not to go unrecorded. He protested, says the London Globe against the notion that 0 lawyer, whether barrister or solicitor, was un- der an obligation to cease to conduct case which he realizes to be bad.
 'Tf an advocate in the course of trial for murder comes to recognize that his client Is guilty Is he," asked the learned judge, ito say to the court, Hang my chentT" Judges have sel. dom asked about the ethics of adyC- cacy in open court. It was, however, in 0 considered judgment in the court of exchequer that Baron Bramwell made his famous contribution to the discussion.
 "A mans rights" said the baron, fare to be determined by the court, not by his advocate or counsel. It is for want of remembering this that foolish people object to lawyers that they will advocate a case against their own opinions. 4 client is entitled to say to his counsel: T want your advocacy, not your judgment l prefer that of the court" MT. Justice Darling, in the jargon of the courts, concurs.
 Laymen have usually been readier than lawyers to discuss the ethics of advocacy. "What do you think of sup porting a cause you know to be bad" Everybody knows Dr. JohnsOn's reply when Boswell asked him this question. 'Sir, you do not know it to be good or bad till the judge determines It."
 Less generally known is Sydney Smiths contribution to the discussion. Justice is found experimentally to be most effectually promoted by the oppo- site efforts of practiced and ingenious men presenting to the selection of an impartial judge the best arguments for the establishment or explanation of truth. It becomes, then, under such an arrangement the decided duty of an advocate to use all the arguments tn his power to defend the cause he bas adopted and to leave the effects of those arguments to the judgment of others" This was said in an assize sermon the famous wit preached at York in 1924

FTFTIETH ANNIVERSARY

Fifty years ago the victorious Union armies, fresh from the bat uetields of the civil war and the surrender at AppomatOX, marched down Pennsylvania avenue iu Wash iugtou.
 It was a grand review of the war-scarred legions of Grant and sherman, of Meade and sheridan, and the other famous commanders whose "bOys in blue" had preserved the Union. President Johnson and General Grant were in the review ing stand as the veterans swung proudly past to the eXulting music of their bands, while the battle flass that had flown on a hundred bloody fields, waved over the tri- umDnaut host.
 Tais thrilling pageant, of na- ticnal interest, will be reproduced as far as possible during the forty ninth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will be held in Washington, Sep tem5=r 27 to October 8, next, ac- colItAg to the superintendent made he:a today.
 Ir will be the tiStieth anniversary O. the Grand Review. Thousands of the same veterans who marched in that review a half century ago uni formed in the Union blue, will again keep step to martial music down Pennsylvania avenue, and pass in parade before President Will son and members of his cabinet. It will be the last time the veterans will march in Washington, and the last time that hundreds of them will ever again attend an encamp- u..ut. Is the aged men are fast passing away.
 The Grand Army, which survived solr y2ars of campaigns and never surrendered, will soon have 10 lowe, its standards, defeated by Time. the only enemy able to vanuuisr the veterans. Because of the increasing death rate and the feebIeness of the survivors of the greet war. it is probable that the Gr5nr Army will never again hold a great eucampment after the Wash ton event As this gathering is the Iasr il which many Of them will par tigiuate, and as the anniversary of the Grand Review is of such his touc significance to them and the couat-y, they will make great ef- forts to be in Washinton in SepamDer The encampment will therefore be tn largest and most
