more strict. Every vehicle *nlering

and suspicious, though they bear con

Every now aod then there crops out
in this republic the notion that if our
more cultured mtinens were our rulers
that we should be much better off. We
very much doubt it If our more man
ly citizens could rule us, then no doubt
we should be better off. But there is a
freakiness and finicalnfm, an inability
to give and take, a general rubbing and
creaking of machinery among men de
valued only on the one side of the
mind, which always euaywhere makes
them objectionable as rulers. Boxing
is just as likely to make a man meek
as books, but if you have a bully to deal
with neither the boxing nor toe books
will avail anything, and he becomes al
most more objectionable as an editor
than as a prizefighter. Os course sport
will fail, just as every other agency
will fail, with certain men. On the
other hand, for the great majority of
men, well conducted sport will teach
them fortitude, gentleness, meekness
and fair play as no other agency yet in

A Fuay Mistake.
A servant lass at an inn once made a
funny mistake. Opening the door of one
cf the rooms, she aaw, as toe thought,
the handle of a warming pan sticking
out near the foot of the bed, “Bless
me,” she said, “that stupid Martha
has left tbe warming pan in toe bed!
She might have set the place on fire.”

violent jerk, when up jumped an awak

"It may eeexa strange to say so,” re
marked a lawyer the other day. “tat it
is true, nevertheless, that there are man
in the city who are getting pah by es
tablishing restaurants that do not V*J-
This is the way they do it: A cheap
■hop is rented and fitted up as a restau
rant at a cost, say, of <250. Food val
ued at about <IOO is purehaesd, and
some judicious advertising is done.
More food is sold for the mcney then
than customers can get anywhere else
in the neighborhood. The result is a
crowded restaurant, though the pro
prietor is losing money steadily. When
be has a first clam line of patrons and
he appears to be doing a big business,
be advertises the place for sale Hl
health or a desire to more south, east
or west is one of the excuses. Custom
ers appear promptly, and the proprietor
usually sells his place for <1,900 or
<1,500, half in cash. His investment
has not been more than <4OO, so he
clears from <BOO to <I,OOO. Os coarse
the place proves a failure, and the pur
chaser loses his money. The restaurant
starter, however, mcves to another por
tion of the city and repeats his enter
prise.”
The lawyer said that be recalled one
man in particular who had started no
less than ten restaurants in the last six
months, all of which he sold. With two
exceptions the places did not pay, and
the men who bought them were com
pelled to close them. —New York Com

Tbe Schoolyard.
To spend large sums cf money on
architectural beauties and stone carv
ings of historic ornaments —which have
but little attraction for children—to
make a school building look like a pal
ace and then to leave the schoolyard
looking like a desert or the .top cf a bi
tuminous lake, without a single attrac
tive flower or one bit of beauty, are in
consistencies which seem possible raly
in the modern system of education.
Weather beaten bouses in the country,
log cabins on the frontiers, railroad sta
tions in the Great American desert and
all over our country have their beauti
ful flower gardens, and it refreshes
one's soul to see them, but there is no
such source of refreshment, inspiration

Shyster axd Jack Leg Lawyers-
The people generally find cause for
congratulation io the new method for
the admission of applicants to the bar
in Georgia.
What is commonly known as a “jack
leg” lawyer » certainly not a Messing
in disguise. Three men drag frivolous
cases into the courts, their sole pur
poses being to extort fees from their
unfortunate clients. No one suffers
snore from there shysters than the re
putable members of the bar them- =
selves, but the damage stops neither
here nor with the clients represented
by these so called lawyers. The courts
are burdened with their petty cases,
and the money of the tax payers is
spent to clear them from the docket
While much the larger part of the bar
is composed of honest, upright men,
who would be an ornament and an
honor to any piofesriou, the small per
centage composing the shyster or "jack
leg” mosnbers of the bar is sufficient to
cost the people of the various counties
good round sums of money each year.
Reputable lawyers suffer and are
' brought into disrepute with a good
many people co account of the mis
deeds of the shysters with whom they
hare been so unfortunate as to have
had dealings.
Ignorance and competency on the
part of some of the men who are ad
mitted to the practice of law are large
ly responsible for the trouble. Such
men are lacking in ability to earn a
livelihood by legitimate practice, and
i having been admitted, they drift
, gradually into rhe way* of *h* shyster <
- a.nd the jack leg.
The defects in the method of admis
sion to the bar in this slate is now
sought to be remedied. The supreme
court of the state will hereafter forma*
let* the questions to be propounded to
all applicants for admission to the bar.
These questions must be answered in
writing and forwarded to the supremo
court. The court, witbout even know
ing the Dime of the applicant, passes
upon each set of papers received, and
io thio way every mao who seeks to en
ter upon the practice of the
hereafter must stand upon his own
knowledge of the law. The plan admit*
of no favoritism. The applicant rouat
also furnish a certificate of good morali|
character, as under the old plan It K.|l

decided improvement over the old on* |
