ArtfuI Ser5eant.

A good story is told about the smart
sergeant of a crack British cavalry
regiment. Whenever he had occasion
to punish any of his men, he invari-
ably concluded the sentence by ex-
claiming: And you are another"
Every victim noticed this strange re-
mark, but none could understand the
meaning of it, and naturally they were
afraid to ask. But one day newly
promoted sergeant determined to
solve the mystery. He said to the SER
geant:
Sergeant, there is one thing 1
should like to ask you. I've often
heard you say, after inficting punish
ment on man, And you are another
What do you really mean by that re-
mark?"
Well" said the sergeant, smiling,
Il will tell you. know that whenever
1 am obliged to punish an evil-doer
the victim always says to himself;
What stupid ass that sergeant is!
l get even with him by saying, And
you are another Keep it dark"

linhts for Battlefields.

The secretary of war has directed
the engineer corps Of the United
States army to make an exhaustive
study of searchlights, fares, star
bombs and such other lights as the
Europeans are now using in war. Ac-
cording to the Army and Navy Jour-
nal, searcnlights are for obvious rea-
sons kept dark until the field artil-
lery has ceased firing and the enemy
is charging. To illuminate a field
over which the enemy is to advance,
star bombs and flares are also used.
Flares, which are merely modified fire.
works, are like the familiar red, white
and blue lights used in Fourth of July
celebrations to illuminate streets and
parks. Sappers go out in front of the
trenches with flares, which are then
connected with the headquarters of
the officers in command of the first
line, who by setting them off at in
teryals throughout the night, can keep
the battle front continually lighted.
Star bombs are also adaptations of
modern fireworks. They are shot
from mortars into the sky, where for
twenty minutes they will give off an
intense light over a wide circle of the
surrounding country. Before one
bomb dies out another is shot into the
air. A kind of star bomb, shot into
the sky like an ordinary rocket, is
used by both armies for signaling at
night. 1t is with such lights as these
that our engineer corps is now con-

COUNSEL And GUILTY CLIENT
Mans Right Seems 50 Be Determined
by Court and Not by His
Lawyer.

Ought an advocate to defend prls-
oner whom he believes to be guilty!
Mr.. Justice Darling, in a recent case
in which a solicitor was the plalntl1f,
made some observations on this famlll
lar problem which ought not to go
unrecorded. He protested, says the
London Globe, against the notion that
a lawyer, whether barrister or sol1c-
itor, was under an obligation to cease
to conduct a case which he realizes
to be bad.
eff 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 client'?" Judges have sell
dom asked about the ethics of adVo-
cacy in open court. 1t was, however,
in considered judgment in the court
of exchequer that Baron BramWel
made his famous contribution to the
discussion.
"a mans rights" said the baron
"are to be determined by the court
not by his advocate or counsel. 1t Is
for want of remembering this that fool
ish people object to lawyers that they
will advocate case against their own
opinions. A client is entitled to say to
his counsel: 4 want your advocacy,
not your judgment; l prefer that OF
the court" Mr.. Justice Darling, III
the iargon Of the courts, concurs.
Laymen have usually been reader
than lawyers to discuss the ethics OF
advocacy. What do you think of sup
porting a cause you know to be bad?"
Everybody knows Doctor .Johnson's
reply when Boswell asked him this
question. "Sir, you do not know it to
be good or bad till the judge deter
mines it."
Less generally known is Sydney
Smiths contribution to the discussion.
Justice is found experimentally to be
most effectually promoted by the op-
posite efforts of practiced and ingen-
ious men presenting to the selection of
an impartial judge the best argu-
ments for the establishment or ex-
PLANTATION of truth. 1t becomes, then,
under such an arrangement the decid-
ed duty of an advocate to use all the
arguments in his power to defend the
cause he has 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, to which
"a characteristic touch this!-he
gave the disturbing title of "The Law
yer That Tempted Christ"

sE:sS lsU9I p BURDEN
OLD AGE HAS PRACTICALLY
CEASED TO BE BoGY.
Man of Today Refuses to Be Consid.
cred Old When He Arrives at the
Three Score Years and Ten
Some Examples.

Old age used to be regarded as an
incurable disease; time to be looked
forward to with horror; period of
useless numbering of the earth.
That bogy is scared away by the
testimony of some of the living celebri-
ties who have left the biblical three
score and ten" landmark far behind
them, says a writer in the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
Says John Burroughs, the great nat
uralist, at seventy-seven:
81 am in better health and more
able to do my work at seventy-seVen
than l was at forty-seven or at fifty
seven. l have produced more manu-
scripts during the last three years
than during any other three years OF
my life, and of kind that has made
unusual intellectual demands upon me.
"Old age is not such bugaboo after
all. He is, in many ways, better to live
with than youth, because he leaves
you more at your ease; you are IN the
calmer waters; the fret and fever OF
life have greatly abated. Old age brings
the philosophical mind; he brings
deeper, wider outlook upon life; he
brings more tolerance and charity and
good will. l did not squander my
youth in excuses, and hence am not
bankrupt in my old age"
Amelia e. Barr, the novelist, who is
SIX years older than Burroughs, and
who writes six hours day, gives this
recipe for staying young IN the
eighties: -
Il have constantly given my mind
Plenty of new thoughts; and this men
til diet has kept me young. 1t is
routine that ages. Even in my sleep
l am often mentally busy. I think l
know consciously that when | rest l
6arken. l have constantly proved that
Intellectual activity infuses life into
every part Of the body. AS far as pos
sibla | avoid anger or worry, for one
hour of such facilitating mental eXer-
Csc destroys all personal magnetism;
and what passes between them and the
soul do not care to say.
Il keep my health because / keep
my illusions. l will not believe that
every one is false. | will not believe
that hope tells flattering tale, or
that friendship is only name, or
that true love has fed from earth and
that the fear of God has vanished. And
above all other reasons for my good
health l place the vivifying power or
love. Love is life"
Cardinal Gibbons, eighty years old
ana in the prime OF his powers, says:
Il believe firmly that the critical
time of life for the making or marring
of a sound constitution is the period
Of youth. The seeds of weakness are
sown in the system then; by irregu-
lality of life, particularly in the hours
allotted for sleep and rest; by excess
in eating and drinking; by grosser ex-
cesses; and by lack of proper exer-
else.
"The rules of health from which /
have never swerved from my youth
are: Regularity of life; moderation in
eating and drinking; exercise proper
to my age and profession; avoidance
of worry; and an ever abiding trust in
Gus providence. have always been
avaricious in the matter of sleep.
Early to bed is the wisest of all saws
for him who has work to do and ambi'
ton to do it Well"
