To SUCCEED AS A LAWIER Hon. rrderic B. Oondcrt Tells ow to Beach the Upper Bounds. SEI.F-DENtAI. THE FIRST QUAUTY REQUIRED ( , me PUflCUt Ohervations on Differ- mt kinds of Good for Its Oven Saike Itnther Then I'ollcy. .Fortunateiy for the numberless candidates to forensic honors , no special gift Is needed for the attainment of reasonable success at the bar. It ja true that a certain minimum of Intelligence Is required even for this , and it wonU. no doubt , be held actionable today. as it was omo centuries ago , to ciarge a lawyer with being a fool. especially with an expletite prcflx that adds Intensity to the slur. the reason given beIng as true today as it was then , that , however unnecessary it might be for a parsoa ( a point which was not directly ruled upon ) . it certainly was necessary for an attorney to be endowed with some intellectual capital. Herein the lawyer is more fortunate than the poet. Horace. no mean judge himself , nephew on the backs to call him a sad dog and give him a huge lesther pocketbook filled with Dank of England notes. In other words , only the very few have the paths eleared for them by kindly gentlemen who hue a decent regard for the ties of blood. Most of us must do the clearing away for ourselves , and if we are what we ought to be , may rejoice all the more In. the triumph that is our own , though the venerable relative who sends the early cc- t.alner and makes the paymit of rent merely a perfunctory and easy operation should not be mentioned lIghtly even by those who know him only through report Sc ) f-Den I id. If there Is one quality which more than any other commands respect and deserves success it is the faculty of self-denial , a real and genuine capacity to stifle Inclination in small , as well as great things , especially in small Ones. No other ingredient enters so largely into success as this capacity to turn one's back deliberately on the pleasant things of life and to take up , bravely and cheerfully , its disagreeable duties. The upsard steps are rough-hewn and hard to the feet. The siren's lay is as sweet today as when wise Ulysses atued the ears of his companions so that her music would not draw them from honor and duty and turn them into swine. Nature abhor and frowns upon effort : she smooths the path of the sluggard , the self-indulgent. , the vain and the foolish with her sweet melodies.

In certain things a medium I ; endur'd Who tries Messala's eloquence In vain , Nor can a knotty point of law explain Like iearn'd Cascelilus , yet may justly claim. For pleading or advice , some - right t fame ; But God and man , and ietier'd post denies That poets ever are of middling size. For Messala and Cascellius read Carter or Chnate or Parsons , and the lines are as true as when they wer written. Of course , the youthful and ambitious aspirant - pirant feels quite confident that he will be , a Cascellius or a Messala , which is all the better ; he will not strike high if he aims , low. But he will admit that the moral applies - plies to the other young men who are to be his contemporaries , if not his rivals. No S'ecinl Ituics of Action. It is a common and vulgar error to sup. pose that there are special rules of action for the attainment of success at the bar- a special drill , as It were , that fits the student for his chosen calling. If there be any such. they have escaped my observation. Whatever the dignity of the profession. It does not stand in this respect upon a different - ferent plane from other pursuits. The rules of morals. of arithmetic. of common sense , of expediency are the same for the lawyer as for the less fortunate and distinguished members of the human family. He cannot add to or detract from the ten command- menta nor from the revised statutes because of his exalted calling. Diligence , sobriety , self.deniai , character must enter into his stock in trade or be will be a bankrupt , provided he has assets to justify the designation. He must be patient and long. suering , he must learn to see others who are , he is quite sure , his Inferiors , rise rapidly to honor and preferment , while he waits , chafing in obscure neglect All of us cannot have a bank president in the ascending line of our genealogical tree ; kindly uncles like those In the English plays are not often on hand to pat the JEWELS AND FLUMES. I. . I. . - eIth the easy current than to breast the waves and fight the tempest. Success , like the kingdom of heaven , can only be taken by storm. Easy going disciples of Eplourus think that the game is not worth the can- dIe , and that a result that costs so much is too expensive. They may be right but they are not. those who desire to succeed in an arduous profession and who believe that the honor and greatness of the reward are worth a hundredfold more than they cost. Perhaps this Is the place to add that in the law as in other callings honesty is the best policy. I have beard this frequentiy as- serted. but I am not quite convinced that it is true. I have known sorry knaves in every profession or trade to achieve what they and many others might call success. and it was success if by that word is meant the diversion of considerable sums from the pockets of others into their own , without - out any violation of the penal code. But perhnps success means something more and Implies. of necessity. the coerced and deserved - served respect of good men. Be this as it may , that honesty will always be trail and open to suspicion which Is fed by the belief - lief that it pays better than the opposIte. If the younger men will look at the seniors who have achieved real success , they will not need to be told that these men were loyal and true , whether it was policy or not. not.To To sum up , then , it Is honest work that achieves success , for work means self-de- nial , and self-denial means virility. It is the man who succeeds in the end. If he be a real man , be will succeed without set rules , if he be not , then. being only the image of a man , he may deceive himself and his friends with the belief that fortune baa been a stepmother and frowned on him from his birth. Why disturb him and them if they are thus made happy ? F. It. COUDERT. A Mean Subterfuge.

A picturesque and hiutofic figure in the daily life of Denver is Captain John D. How- land. artist , writes Neise lanes in the Dos. ton Herald. fTc was born there before Den- vet , or more than forty years ago , when the early settietnent was on the other side of Cherry creek ami was known as Aurarla. He has variously been a guide. hunter , sot- dier , miner , government scout explorer and Indian agent but always an artist. He is the pioneer painter of the Rocky mountain region , and no one lives who possesses the same power to place on canvas the perfect picture of the Indian , the buia.lo and the scenery that surrounded them on their native - tivo plains. And when be has passed , as his subjects are passing , to the happy bunt- tug grounu , .nere will no none to nil ais place. There will be Frederick Itemingtons and Buffalo Bills. but no Jack liowlands. He is the llret hate of hi. profession. Just now his head is filled 'with war and he has sent an application to Washington for some kind of army appoIntment of the higher rank , for he is not physically fit to take the field as a private. When just touching 14 years young How- land ran away from home , wearing a coonskin - skin cap and carrying a rifle , powder horn and bowie knife , after the style of his border - der hero. He also had S7 cents and a dog , but ho soon parted with these. He reached Cincinnati and obtained passage on the Ellen Gray for St. Louis. Jack's father was a Mississippi steamboat captain , which was of benefit to him. At the very start the steamer was run into by the cotton carrying boat Arkansas and shipwrecked opposite Goose island. Jack had a narrow escape from drowning. Next he shipped on the steamer Argonaut which stopped at Evans- yule , Intl. Jack went ashore to visit an aunt and during his absence the steamer blew up and many lives were lost. He eventually succeeded in raching St. Luis as a stowaayoa the Polar Bear. Follow- lag this , he got a jobon the steamer Ben Lewis through an acquaintance of his father's. named Joe Violet , a bartender on the boat. Early one morning. ahile Violet was busy playing poker and Jack was asleep , the boilers burst , which ended the career of the Ben Lewis , Violet and many others. Lucky Jack Ilowland was picked up nine miles below Cairo , clinging to a cask. He could never tell how ho came to pick up the cask as a lire preserver , but he probably alighted on it he came down. After three weeks in the hospital Jack How- land was ready for mor adventures , but chose to find them on snd. Ll'e vith tIi lndlnns. He made the acquninnce oZ 'a' niavi named Campbell , who was euployed by the American Fur compan aid through him be got a position on th ilafijo , which was fitted out tar a trading trip thth the Indians along the upper Missouri.- 'was at that time that he began his life Ith the Sioux , with whom he wax ver ! opular.

I He soon picked up the Slourtalk and by reason of that and his popularity he became' a valuable trader for the company , despite his years , lIe accompanied the Sioux on their hunts , wearinga fine suit of fancy buckskin made by the squaws , with wiom ho was generous in dealing out sugar when , it came to trading. He lear edo , use the bow and arro'wlth true Indi7sn.-isktli , but always carried a gun and pistol as well. which made him enyied by- the ! ndian lads , . particularly one by the name of Lone Wolf.

Nevertheless - theless , young Holad made many sketches quietly for his own amusement. and this training and memorizing was of great value to him in after years. It would take too long to detail his life with the Sioux. It might be stated , however , to give an Idea as to the number of buffalo on the plains in those days , that he engaged in a three dayy' hunt with a big band of Sioux which killed over 15,000 buffalo in that time , solely for their hides. Stories of wonderful discoveries of gold in Colorado induced the adventurous young man to visit It and try his fortunes as a miner. The fall of 1860 found him in the new settlement of Central City , but luck did not pick him out as a favorite , and he had rather a tough time of It. His partner at prospecting was Solon 13. Ackley. who owned an old violin. upon which ho could play a little dance music , Winter snowed them in. It was intensely cold most of the time , and there was a scarcity of food , particularly - larly for those who had no money to pay to , . it. It looked very blue for the young gold hunters. Somehow or other the rough miners did not appreciate art to the point where they would exchange bacon and beans for plctureswjct Ijowland drew , but they unhesitatingly gave food and lodgings for such music as 'cklcy could draw out of his squeaky violin. Appreciating the necessities of the sitqatioii , Howiand stopped drawing pictures and o'riiinated a lot of jig and clog steps , wjt1ci..1i danced to the great edification tths1ers. They went from cabin to ca&n , tog themselves "the troubadoura.

M. Chivington. and was later made capjo4n of the Seventh cavalry , Ha partIeipa1ti the battle of Apache canyon , wherei'exas confeder- - ates were driven back , and also during the Indian war of 1561 , In which the savages became so bold that they came very close to Deayer , murdering the Hungate fatally of four at Box Elder creek. Captain 110w- land has a scalp of one of these Indian butchers banging with his costumes and curiosities. That year Colonel Chivingtons command of OO soldiers surprised a large band of Cbeyennes and Arapahoes at Sand creek , and killed 131 of theta , with a loss of fifty lil.I and wounded. Captain How- land was mustered out at the close of that year. Becomes n Artist. By that time be bad achieved quite a reputation as an artist and be decided to adopt it a profession. 'With this in view he started on his first visit to Paris. It was a long and slow trip across the plains. He joined the famous Hunt train , which was attacked by Indians. This train was in ehargo of United States Marshal Hunt , afterward governor of Colorado , who was vonreying prisoners to Michigan. A num. her of others bad joined the party for greater sorority. among them several women. The Indians besieged the train for nine days. The ammunition of the whites was almost gone , so the small cannon which the outfit carried was loaded with trace chains with wet gunny sack pieces for wad- ding. During the night the temperature reached twenty degrees below zero and the gunny cloth in the cannon had frozen solid. It was almost certain that when it was fired the cannon would exulode and kill the gunner. It was it job no one wanted. When the savages made their charge at daybreak the thoughts of the wotneb and children stirred Captain Rowland and he touched oft the cannon , expecting to be blown to pieces. It held together , but the slaughter of Indiana - diana and horses was so great that they gave up the attack. Returning from France in 1867 , through the endorsement of such men as Generals William S. Harneyy. . T. Sherman. Terry and Thomas Murphy , superintendent of Indian - dian affairs , Captain lowland was appointed secretary of the Indian peace commission to the Northern Sioux. Hlskaowlcdge of their language and mannera , beside persoia1 acquaintance - quaintance , made him a most valuable man. It Is related that while Generals Harney , Sanborn and others of the commission were stopping at a military post in the Indian country a party of forty lodges of Sioux surprised a couple of herders who were attending - tending seventy bead of government horses and mules grazing on the North Platte. Fourteen well mounted bucks charged upon theta , and the leader , with a wicked looking spear. sought to kill the herders , but they managed to get away and alarmed the soldiers - iers at the fort , Captain \Volls and a corn- pany of the Second cavalry started in pursuit - suit , accompanied by Captain Howland , clad in his old buckskin suit , which had seen so much service. They followed the trail for many miles over the Black Hills , every step of the way being perilous. Finding themselves so closely pursued the Indians separated into several parties , first spearing to death twenty of the mules. The soldiers . got onto the main trail and followed it until dark , camping in a ravine that night without - out fire. At daylight they took up the trail again and followed it to the Bad Lands , which they did not dare enter. Upon their return they narrowly escaped being ambushed - bushed by OO Indians. After this Captain How'land spent many years sketching and painting in Utah , New Mexico and Caiifornia. Early in the 'Os he mdo a perilous journey of exploration in -canoe for 1OO miles down the Rio Grande , something no white man had ever attempted. He had many narrow escapes In deep , dark canons through which the hver fusbed and in avoldibg tails and rapids. . It was a most excttin trip and was cothplished tn the-.gtsrkable' time of twenty days. ' . : I 1182 CaptaIn Howland 'made- another trip o Paris to complete hls'studies. Upon his return he settled in this city , where he still resides with his family. For two terms he was presidedt of the Colorado Pioner association. t 1- Some of His Paintings. Oiue.ef-the bet known of Captain flow- land's paintings is that entitled "A Frontier - tier I'nquest. " It represents seven wise looking buftalo gathered In a broken semi. cItc1J3 around the body of a dead Indian , which lies stiff and stark 'mid the prairie cactzs , with a hole in the breast from which a5 run a crimson stream. There is a look of inquiry in the eyes of the big bisons , and one cannot help wondering , as ther appear to , as to why and how it hap- , pened. Studies for this were made in 1562 , but It was not until 1850 that it was painted for'ffenry R. Wolcott , a brother of Senator Wolcott. , In 1551 llowland repainted it for Sir Morton Frewcn , who was hunting -in this country at the time. Fr wen afterward sold it to Sir Randolph Churchill. Another is "The Buftalo Hunt , " the main objects being a wounded and dying buffalo about to fall to the ground , and a typical I frontiersman on a horse in the act of firing the final shot. The , 'jffalo is large and shaggy , and full of fight but his wound8 are too severe. and , despite his desire to give battle , his knees bind and his head almost touches the ground. In the middle- ground is an Indian , who rides an ordinary horse , without saddle , bridle or blanket. bareheaded and only armed with bow and arrow , while the superiority of the white mati is shown by his spirited charger , fine saddle , sombrero and rifle. In the background - ground are shown the herd of fleeing buffalo and a winding stream. "The Rear Guard" represents a. big bull buffalo on the crest of a ridge , with bead bait lowered and eyes watching for danger. The herd is passing over the ridge. There is a background of peaks and valleys and the reproduction of the tints and shadows pe- cullar to Colorado is perfect. The buffalo sthpds out as ii alive. "Maternal Solicituile" shows a buffalo cow and calf surrounded by four miserable , but wicked , coyotes , who have separated them from the herd , but are too cowardly to make a direct attack. The solicitude of the mother is indicated by her defensive attitude , while the calf cuddles up to her In fright. One of the coyotes eeka to draw the attention of the mother , while one is seen sneaking up behind to seize the calf. while the others are ( a various natoral attitudes. "Looking foP Trouble" pictures three Indians - dians of the uncivilized sort decked out in all the glory of paint and gaudy dress , racing pell.utell on their ponies down a sate brush slope , evidently bent upon some kind of deviltry , as indicated by the wicked expression on their ( aces. One flourishes a Colt's revolver , another a club. and the third a spear , This is full of life and action , every muscle being shown , and men and horses given the proper pose. - . - - DELICATE FOOTCEAR , &d c. ( . TIAISO TO HIT. At Tree ThnusandVards Ii Crnisei Lok. Like is I'estaie stamp , One of the things which naval experts hope will be thoroughly settled by the Span' ish-Americaa war , says the Boston Joui'na1 , is the degree of accuracy .attalnable In modem - em naval gnnnery In actual warfare. It is said that , although the art of the gun- maker has been for years pitted against that of the armor manufacturer , the Ireateat dimcuity experienced at sea is not the piece- log of the enemy's armor plate , but the hitting - ting of the ship at nil. The main trouble , naval oiflcers say , Ii that , in aiming big guns , only a 'very minute picture of the ship aimed at can be seen , Prof. Alger of the United States Naval War college at Newport recently declared that at a convenient fighting distance a ship of the size of the Indiana appears to be about one inch long. This , be added , was the case when the ship was looked at Under ordinary - nary conditions , In actual warfare. however - ever , this picture would be considerably lea- sened by the fact that the man who aimed the gun would have to pay quite as much attention to the alignment of his sIght as be would to the position of the target and that he would have to do all these things at the same time. Naval authorities say that the recent occurrences - currences at the bombardment of Matanr.as bear out these st , ments. It. Is noticed that although the battleships had no dUfl- culty whatever In bitting the tort-s not onu of the nuenet-ons shots bred troz the shore hit a boat. Very much th same coodjUoa 'was encountered at the bornbn.rduient of Alexandria by the British beet in the earl7 Oe. In that case the vessel. were at anchor in smooth water and their targets were goo.i big ones , Although the range was short the damage done by the forts was in- signifleant. Another thing which it i hoped 'will be cleared up thoroughly is the exact utility of the fast unarmored cruiser in batUe. Theoretically it is intended to attn these boats with a multitude of machine guns carrying stnll caliber bullets. The fire from these is to be directed on every port' hole. conning tower slot or aperture in gun shields that can be made out from the decks ot the boat. It is believed that the fire from one of thee boats will be so searching and withering that all the omeers in the conning tower will be killed and that the crews of the guns will be so decimated that the ship attacked by one of these modern spitfires wilt be put out of action in five minutes. There are opponents to this theory , bow- ever , and they say that test as an unarmored - armored cruiser may be able to go a modern shell can travel faster. They cast doubt upon the ability of the unarmored cruiser to turn loose the hail storm of lead with which it is credited and declare that one shot from a big gun on a modern battleship will put the unarmored 'cruiser both out of action and out of existence. - .
