    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.

;j A Lettcp on Law j:
(By a Correspondent.)
What should I know about law? 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„

country, it is found that the people
eating the most work the most. The

when he heard some of his iambs,

as ho was climbing a fence a large
eagle- flew at him, struck him on tna
head and chest with its wings and!
knocked him down. It then flew away
and Ogle went for a gun and then td
his iambs. He found that two had’
been killed, and while he was looking
at them the eagle came back and at
tacked him the second time. He fired
several shots at it, and it flew away
seemingly unhurt.

the clock. This sudden offer aroused
the artisan’s suspicions, which were
increased when another r,.ranger turn
ed up on the following day and of
fered $250 ior the timepiece. He took
it to a dealer, and ascertained that it
was a genuine “Peter Henle,” worth'
nearly $25,000. He promptly sold it

For some years Orbra has suffered a
great deal with a form of Kidney Trou
ble which was very annoying, and
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life.
His father heard of a remedy called
Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he Is now completely cured of
the old trouble. He says:
“Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now I can sleep all
night without having to get up. We
will always praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills.”
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should be promptly
corrected. Dodd’s Kidney Pills is a
safe and sure remedy for all such de
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made a well boy of him
self by using Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and
any one may do the same by the same
means.
Parents should see to it that their
children are given a fair chance In
life, and there is nothing that can
undermine the health of a growing
child as much as Kidney and Urinary
derangements.
