The Pope’s American Cousin. Rev. Don Luigi Sartori, pastor of St. Joseph’s church, Midland, Md., a cousin of Pope Pius X, will sail for Rome next month to pay his respects to the new pontiff. The pope and the American parish priest are descend ants of the same grandfather, the par ents of the Midland pastor having add ed the ,“ri” to their name, according to the custom of the Venetian prov ince in which they lived. There is a striking physical resemblance be tween Pope Pius X and Father Sar tori. They are well acquainted. —r———* .. "•. A Great Map of Franco.

I am the average individual, neither or dinary nor extraordinary, neither f9ol nor sage. During my business life I have occasionally consulted a lawyer, have had several lawsuits, and have learned some law. * A lawyer once told me that when he was studying in an office for admis sion to the bar, he thought of writing an essay on “Popular Misconceptions of Law,” and asked the advice of his preceptor about it, who said: "Young man, you better write an article on ‘Lawyers’ Misconceptions of Law.’ ” The student’s ready response was: “I believe that subject is too broad.” A Lawyer’s Knowledge. , Some people believe a lawyer should know everything, and when they dis cover their lawyer does not, begin to look for another one. Such persons usually have as many lawyers as they have legal propositions lodged in their brains. Whenever the lawyer fails, so does their faith. They seem never to come to the conclusion that a lawyer should not be expected to know it all any more than any other person in his particular calling or business. Although a lawyer should not b» expected to know everything he should be expected and should know those things which will fulfill the purposes for which he is sought to be used by his clients. A legal author well says: “An attorney agrees that he possesses at least the average degree of skill and learning in his profersion in that part of the country he practices, and that he will exercise that learning and skill w’ith reasonable care and diligence.” Courts of Equity. l always supposed a court ot equity was a court of justice until 1 learned to my sorrow that it was not. I asked my lawyer the real meaning of a court of equity. He said it was a court of chancery. “And what is a court of chancery?” “It is that side of the court as distinguished from the law side.” “And how do you distinguish it?” “The difference between a court of equity and a court of law is that equity begins where the law ends, that equity reaches those cases the law does not, that equity takes Jurisdiction of those matters only where the law fails to provide a remedy.” As I did not fully understand his explanation he further said: “These courts of equity are an outgrowth of the Eng lish common law. At an early day the only courts were the law courts, and as in many cases persons were wronged, and the courts of law af forded no remedy, it became the cus tom to petition the king for justice to be done. These cases became so numerous that the king finally re ferred them to the Lord High Chancel lor, and he, in turn, feeling burdened by them, secured the establishment of regular courts of chancery, from which we derive the term 'chancery,’ and which are called courts of equity oecause they seek to do equity in those cases where the law fails to do so.” As an illustration he mentioned the case of a court of equity granting in injunction in a matter where a ;ourt of law could only give damages which would be -an entirely inadequate | remedy. On Common Sense. • I have found law as a rule is found- | etl on good sense. It is, or should be, simply common sense. Some laws, no doubt, especially statutes, are based on error and wrong, but in the main they are “the science of social order and the perfection of human reason ” The best definition for law I have ever seen is the simple one: “Law is a rule of action.” There are longer definitions, and those going more into detail, but none so general and com prehensive. In endeavoring to remember differ ent distinctions in law I have found it useful to memorize certain apt phrases. One of the best I recollect is that of Justice Story, who, in re ferring to particular powers of gov ernment, says: "The difference be tween the departments undoubtedly is that the legislature makes, the ex ecutive executes and the judiciary construes the laws." Some Legal Definitions. Until I had my first lawsuit I al ways thought the pleadings in a case were the' speeches of the attorneys; I then learned that they were not, but were m fact the preliminary written statements of the cause of action for the plaintiff and the defense on the part of the defendant, and were en tirely distinct from the forensic argu ments of the lawyers. My first im pression was that a good pleader was a good speaker, one who could con vince a judge or persuade a jury; my later knowledge was that a good pleader was a lawyer who could prop erly state the case of his client on pa per in legal phraseology and accord ing to the legal effect. Probably the shortest will ever writ ten is that spoken of by Rabelais. It was as follows: "I owe much, I have notiiing, I give the rest to the poor.” Lord Mansfield says: “There is nothing so unlike as a simile, and nothing more apt to mislead.” Judge Cooley defines a constitution as “The body of rules and maxims in accordance with which the powers of sovereignty are habitually exercised.” Coleridge says: “A nation is the unity of a people.” A countryman once went to the of fice of a justice of the peace to be married. After the conclusion of the ceremony he asked the justice what were his fees. The justice replied: “Well, the law allows me $1.50.” “Very well,” said the countryman, “here is 50 cents more, that makes $2.00.” Secrets Always Kept. Lawyers are as a rule, good to keep secrets. The ethics of their profes sion gives them training. Every con scientious lawyer must consider “his lips sealed with sacred silence.” “A maxim," says Bispham, “is the embodiment of a general truth in the shape of a familiar adage.” It is a principle that every wrong has a remedy. Even the smallest one is entitled to compensation. “The in significance of the injury goes to the extent of the recovery and not to the light of action.” To illustrate: In some cases one cent damages are awarded. Law Index of Little Value. I once asked an attorney whether an index of law could not be made such as those outside the profession could use. He said that an index might be made, and in fact many do exist, but that it could not be put to universal use because of the lack of knowledge of basic principles and fa miiiariLy 01 ubiuib, uuu wcu iuiu the following story: An owner of a [ sugar camp had the misfortune to have a neighbor who kept sheep. One night the sheep broke through the rail fence and drank the sap, upset the sugar troughs and otherwise played havoc in the camp. The owner of the camp went to a justice of the peace of little learning and plenty of books who had unfortunately been ad mitted to the bar. The case was stat ed to the legal adviser, who said the matter was such a perplexing one that he must consider it for a few days before giving his advice. He then told his client he thought it un wise to begin suit as he could not see as there was any cause for action. The client thought otherwise, and said it seemed plain to him that where one man’s sheep broke a fence and destroyed another’s property the law would give damages. The attor ney replied, “Well, you don’t know. Do you see all these books? I have looked through them all, and I find nothing about ‘sheep,’ ‘rail fence,’ ‘sap’ or ‘sugar trough.’ ” If he had known how to use his books he would have found all he wanted under the head of “torts” and "trespass.” Causes of Legislation. If lawyers were consulted more about preliminary business matters there would be much less litigation. This is well shown b'y the fact that there is so much more litigation here than in England, where every busi ness man has his solicitor and scarce ly makes a business move without consulting him; while here the aver age man acts as his own lawyer. The old saying is no doubt true: “A man who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client. J. H„ Returning Youthfulness. The hair and board of Walter Craig of Cadiz..
