I'LL TRY.

When difficulties line his way,
like teshear a fellow say,
TX .. I'll try!
Confronted by a task that's new,
Perhaps. a dangerous mission, too,
| like to see him think it out,
Sum up his chances and reply;
I'll try!
There's something to the boy u man
Who rules himself upon the plan;
I'll try!
Too many say, II can't" before
They ever look a problem Ger;
Responsibility they shirk,
And seem to fear unusual work,
This is the phrase of do or die,
I'll try!
Would there were more young men
today
When duty calls to them, who'd say,
Ill try!
Would fear had not so strong a hold
On mortals, and that more were bold;
Bold in their willingness to face
The tasks that are not commonplace
To answer doubt with this reply
III try! 3

the first step in the lawyers crooked
scheme. Pat produced the handbook
The shyster returned later with the infor-
nation that withdrawal slip issued by
Pat on his bank account was demanded
by the judge. After brief argument,
Pat complied. The lawyer hastened to
the bank, filled in the slip above his
clients signature, and drew out 500.
Meanwhile Pat languished in Jail. A
few days later, because of lack of sufficient
evidence, he was freed This unexpected
turn of affairs caught the lawyer unpre-
pared. But he rose to the occasion.
Through another shyster, he informed
Pat that the police were on his trail
again, and that the only thing for him
to do was to flee the country. The
lawyer even bought steerage ticket to
Ireland, which his shyster friend pre-
sented to Pat.
This time, however, the shrewd Irish
man refused to be tricked. The boat
sailed. The lawyer breathed easier. And
then Pat called at his Office. He was re-
fused an interview, so he took his case
to higher authorities. After being COM
PEELED to return the money to the indig-
nant Irishman, the lawyer was disbarred
The undiluted shyster, the lawyer who
will give you not even the semblance of
square deal, can be avoided by the OBJ
servance of two simple rules:
Never hire lawyer who solicits your
patronage under suspicious circumstances
Never hire a lawyer until some one
whose advice you can rely upon vouches
for his integrity.

The Case of Pat

ONE of the boldest efforts on the part
Of disreputable lawyers to tilch money
from unsuspecting clients came to the at
tention of the Bar Association recently,
and resulted in the disbarment and public
disgrace of one of its members.
This man had secured client who was
arrested, charged with disorderly conduct
The offender, whom we shall call Pat, was
an Irishman, a street-car motorman in
the Bronx. He had been saving every
penny, planning to return to Ireland as
soon as his bank account justified it.
But within week or two of the date he
had set for embarking he had offended a
policeman.
Pat was locked up, pending trial. His
bail was set at $500. Pat confessed to his
attorney that he had $3.50 in the bank
The attorney advised his client that if the
bank-book was available, its presentation
in court would suffice for bail. This was

from its outset. The affable stranger who
had called at his bedside was not lawyer:
he was runner" The retainer he had
cajoled the sick man into signing was
blank form; the runner sold it to the
highest bidder.
That act is contrary to legal ethics. If
the caller had been a member of law
| firm, he could have been disbarred for
such underlanded soliciting
The foregoing example illustrates the
shyster lawyers way of doing business
more lurid example of his methods was
revealed recently when the inner workings
of certain notorious murder trial were
brought to light.
The attorney for the defense, through
sheer luck, which was made evident by
one of the rarest displays of stupidity and
carelessness that New York COURTROOM
has ever enjoyed freed his client.
The Beautiful Heiress
DURING the trial the newspapers had
a great deal to say about some mys-
terious woman who, it was understood
was supplying the funds to carry on the
defense. She, with the trial, made excel
lent newspaper copy. Her true identity
was not disclosed until after the trial.
when this beautiful, mysterious "heiress'
appealed to the Bar Association for help
She was the attorneys runner" and he
had not paid her for securing the murder
case
Because of insufficient evidence the
lawyer was not disbarred. He had
gained tremendous amount of notoriety
during the trial. He might have capital
lied this publicity and become successful
criminal lawyer. But he did not. He went
back among the other shysters, because
he knew nothing but shyster methods.
Ordinarily the shyster lawyer does his
client more harm than good. The case
rarely interests him; he takes it because
of its rich possibilities Of extortion. He
hovers about the lower courts much after
the fashion of the jackal that crouches
near wounded animal.
Pretend for the moment that you have
been arrested and are totally uniformed
upon the law. Let us see how the shyster
will pry you away from your money.
You are arrested for minor crime-a
misdemeanor-such as going swimming
without an adequate bathing suit. The
shyster will elbow his way to you at the
very rim of the magistrates desk.
At that moment you have no money
in your pocket. Your attorney will see
that you are comfortably disposed behind
bars; then he will take up his post of
watchful waiting and systematic bleeding.
Have you any relatives or friends with
money? Yes, one or two. How much
can you get? About one hundred dollars.
Very well; get it.
You can rest assured that you will re-
main behind the bars until all the avail
able money is in the shyster's hands. The
saddest part about this experience will be
its climax. When you go to court for
trial, your attorney, just as often as not,
will instruct you to plead guilty. He has
things fxed' with the judge and you will
be given light sentence.

RAIN INJURIES COTTON CROP.

Had il not been for the almost
daily local showers during the past
Two weeks ST. Landry would have
produced in the neighborhood Of
25,o0o bales Of cotton, in the esti-
nation of the best posted cotton
men. Now. however, the yield will
not be that much and it is feared
that the cotton crop in this parish
will not reach the 10000 mark.
Cotton gins throughout the par
ish are ready now for the cotton
season, several gins having already
begun. It is expected that practi-
eally every gin in the parish will
operate to-day. Cotton has been
opening up rapidly III practically
every locality. The staple is con-
sidered of excellent quality and the
farmers expect to get a good price
for their crop.
