LAWS LADDER HARD TO CLIMB
They First Start Out on
Their Careers.

How much money would be likely
to earn if | went into a law office next
year," asked a Vassar senior of the
woman lawyer who was lecturing at
the college upon the opportunities for
women in the law, the Florida Me-
tropolis states.
When you start out you'll probably
get nothing" answered the lecturer.
in fact, you'll consider yourself lucky
to get into a law office at all, for law.
yers are not, as a rule, ready to &C,
cept woman clerks. You may, after a
few months of hard work, receive a
raise from nothing to s. per week, and
within the year you may possibly be
raised to $40 or SIS"
Men, it seems. are paid just about
the same salaries in law Offices.
There are, perhaps, fortunes in the
law for both men and women. But they
are not for the many of the young law.
yers graduated every year. They are
for the few, and they mean painful
perseverance over long periods of time
before they are attainable. Any young
person who is looking for quick re-
turns upon his educational investment
had better plan some other career than
that of Jurisprudence. Madame Justice
rewards her administrators sparingly
and puts them through a long AM
sometimes cruel apprenticeship.

STARTED ON ANOTHER TRIP
Antics of Explorer Made Him Persona
Non Grata With His Landlady
and He Had to Move.

On his return from a long stay
abroad, a well-known newspaper war
correspondent took lodgings in a
quiet London suburb and engaged at
target practice with an airgun," firing
from the balcony of his sitting room
at a wafer stuck on the wall over the
dressing table in his bedroom.
The neighborhood, however. was too
prim and genteel a place Of sojourn to
tolerate this irrepressible practical
Joker for any considerable length Of
time, and he soon had to leave il by
reason of his feats with the airgun.
One day he told the story OF his
somewhat abrupt departure.
That mischievous secretary of
mine" he says, pretended that
could not knock the hat off a cabman
doing on a rank in the square op-
posite to the house. / did, worse luck!
One OF his mates saw me, and the long

Il bowed, and murmured that some
flattering persons did me the honor of
putting me down as something of that
sort.
I'm that case, sir. she exclaimed,
I would advise you to start on an ex.
ploration for fresh apartments at once

Objected to Common Term.

"Billingsgate" is an accepted term
for vituperative language. A speaker
in a political club wished to vary
this expression in Gliding an oppo-
nent, and criticized him for using
"fishmarket language" Thereupon an
other member rose and protested
against this phrase. Il have been a
fish dealer for thirty years." he said,

guage used in my business. The fish
business is a respectable one, and

these gentlemen possess in a marked
degree the qualities that go to make
the successful level-headed business
man.
Those who know Mr.. Dawson say
that he has assimilated the practical
oil business quicker tnan any other
man they have ever seen. He is alert,
he is not afraid TO work, he never hes
itates about what to do, and when he
has made his money he never hest
tates about giving certain per cent
of It away to others less fortunate.
These gentlemen are planning TO
build a refinery. and in case they do,
It is to be built at the nearest railroad
point and the company will not only
use its own oil, but will be in the
market for a portion OF the Healdton
production.
Some of these days the southeast
extension will bring in a well that
will make as much as 1000 barrels,
and that portion of the field will be
even more interesting than it is at
this time

To which the Vicksburg Herald
makes reply:
AS the Senate Army bill is the
product of a condition undreamed
of at the time the Baltimore
platform was framed. and as its
trainers were not endowed with
the prophetic gift, will some OF
the few remaining of our
esteemed Vardamaniac contem.
poraries enlighten US as to the
relevancy of the quoted remark?
Or do they concede their leader
the right to rail at the President
with or without reason? Wher
sounds come from the ''cave Of

question-"who is this that dark.
eneth counsel by words without
knowledge" is the answer always

Ike Cuy's Barn Burned

The barn Of Mr.. Ike Guy, who lives
six miles west Of Macon on the LOUIS
Vile road, was burned Thursday morn
ing at daylight and there was no doubt
that the FIRE was Of incendiary origin.
Nh. jim Guy and his wife had spent
the night at their brothers. home and
got up at daylight to go to their own
home. When they had gone about a
quarter Of a mile Mis-. Guy happened
to turn around as she got under a wire
fence and discovered the barn was
ablaze. About the same time the fire
was discovered by those who were up
at the home of Mr.. John Crabtree who
lives about 300 yards away. A son Of
Mr.. Crabtree saw a man come from
behind a cotton house a short distance
from the barn and go west along the
public road.
Blood hounds from Houston, Miss,
were wired for and they anne down on
the noon train. They Immediately
took the trail and it led to the house OF

as there was no evidence except
that the dogs took the trail at the harm
and followed it without hesitation to
the house. 1t is understood that two
Of the negroes were whipped last night
but neither would confess to the crime.
No stock was lost. all being in 8

about % bushels of corn and 500 worth
of hay and Mr.. Guy $75 worth of corn

The New Liquor Law

Whether the trainers Of the

templated this particular work
ing of it or not, the law makes
it so inconvenient, troublesome
and worrysome to get something
fit to drink that sensible men, or
some of them at least, will quit
a habit that is the occasion of so
much petty bother. A fly will
sometimes worry a man more
than a lion, and the little restrlc-
tons of the new law will, it now
appears, make it an effective
law. They make the game not

Terrific Hail Storm

What was probably the worst hail
storm that ever struck this section
passed through the eastern portion
OF the county in a path about six
miles wide Thursday afternoon
about 2;30 O'Clock. At Shuqualak
the colored school house was blown
down and the storm extended as
far east as Calyx, MIR. Fields home,
where several large trees were blown
down in the grove. Hail as large as
guinea eggs" said Mr.. Field, when
asked over the phone.
MIR. L. V. Yates, in his car with Mr..
Vester Mullins and two gentlemen
from the north, were about four miles
out on the Fairfield road. When they
saw the storm approaching they turned
and attempted to beat it back to town
but were caught. Mr.. Mullins said
the hail stones were as large as eggs
and when they hit the hard road would
bounce up four or five feet, and for a
few inmates the precipitation was 30
heavy it had the appearance of sheets
of ice falling.
Robert Pruit had a rough experience
or the same road. When the hail be-
gan to pelt his horses they ran away'and
threw him out. He sought shelter I'm.
der a bush, which afforded him little
protection, and finally he crawled in a
ditch that was deep enough to allow
the stones to blow over him. A large
lump on the back of his head where 9
stone as large as a turkey egg, driver
by a fifty mile gale, struck him, wa.
plain evidence of the experience h,
went through.
