Lawyers.

For hundreds Of years people have poked
fun at lawyers And the lawyers seem to like
it. They poke fun at themselves. They laugh
with anybody that laughs at them.
And some very sharp people have said some
very witty things about Mr.. Blackstone's we'll
known disciples, and the judicial process. For
instance Charles Macklin in his play, Love
Ia Mode" in 1889, makes one of his characters
say: THE law is sort of hocus- pocus science
that smiles in yer face while it picks yer
pocket; and the glorious uncertainty Of it is
Of mair USE to the professors than the justice
Of it."
1t was Lord Brougham who defined law
yer as "a learned gentleman who rescues your
estate from your enemies, and keeps 1t to him
self" But Lord Brougham had no monopoly
of that thought. for the same idea has been
expressed in almost every civilized land. So
that, after all. il it may be said, lawyers must
be about the same the world over! The Ger
mans have it: Lawsuits make the parties bare,
the lawyers fat" And again: THE suit is
ended" says the lawyer. "for neither party
has anything left" The Italian puts it: "A
lean agreement is better than a fat lawsuit "
And the Scotch: Laws costly; take a pint
and gree"
Lawyers and their clients may smile at the
Danish idea: Virtue in the middle, said the
devil. when seated between two lawyers"
Lawyers love to tell this story of = woman
who asked an attorney for the requisites for
3oing to law: why, it depends upon num-
Der Of circumstances. In the first place." he
said. you must have good cause secondly, q
good attorney; thirdly. good counsel; forthly,
good evidence; filthy. a good Judge; and lastly,
good luck"
Lawyers are = l;keable lot. at that They
are the Sunny Jims Of the court rooms, = very
human part of this workday world. And the
world could hardly get along without them.

WHOSE WORLD?

1t will earn the right to lead the
way not by manifesting a spirit of
arrogance and racial pride. There
is only one kind OF leadership the
world will stand for today, and that
is the leadership of service.
II white men can render our
common humanity the largest serv-
ice. they may lead. Otherwise they
mus. ultimately fall in behind.
They will not serve mankind by
policies that are selfish. Jesus was
proclaiming tho profOundest states
manship when He said: Bear ye
one anothe-'s burdens"
National isolation and selfishness
belong to the dark ages. The ma
ton that thinks only Of itself to-
day is doomed.
That race. be it white or black,
be il yellow, brown. or red. may
lead the march that is able and
willing to face the greatest perils
and carry the heaviest loads. 1t is
no longer q boudoir world. Human
ity is on the march. "Whosoever

CAUSES OF CATARACT.

Although the degeneration or
opacity Of the lens Of tho eye call
ed cataract occurs more frequent
rly in advanced ags than in child
hood and infancy, old age IL not

disease. Least Of all does anybody

tic instance Of ultimate dissolution

Poor lens material 10 handed
down from parent TO child in some
families: cataract IL sometimes .in7
herited. I
Certain systemic diseases which
interfere seriously with the general
nutrition of the body, particularly
diabetes and nephritis (Bright's
diseasey, seem to predispose to
cataract in elderly patients.
Men whose work demands ex-
| posture of the eyes to the intense
heat and light Of furnaces. or to
the glare or binding nashes of the
electric arc or of short circuits are
notably subject to cataract.
! Injuries Of the eyes. at any age.
may be responsible for cataract a.
| q complication or sequel.
Prolonged eyestrain is now con-
sidered by oculists one Of the fac
| tors of cataract. They cite the
general decrease in the frequency
OF cataracts in America since cities
and towns have had better artificial
Illumination as evidence against
eyestrain. In cities and towns q
large share OF the people do much
of their work by artificial light
And right here is the place to re.
mark that the illumination OF
reading or work in too many
homes is-well, maybe very pretty
in the eyes of the beholder, but
nevertheless abominable for the
eyes of the worker. Why do sc
many housewives go in for red
green and blue fireworks instead OIL
considering how to obtain the mos
satisfactory illumination for thu
least money!
Glasses fitted by guesswork prob
, ably contribute towards changes
within the eyes which favor thu

never amounted to very much. l

have no boy friends, but am In the

fused to accept the boys offer, and
