THE OMAHA DAILY BEEs STTNDAY. SEPTEMBER 5 , 1807. Lawyei The boy army that every jcar enters tlie law oflicea In our largo cities alone Is twice en great as that which Uncle Sam keep * to defend his great territory. For the benefit ot the hey who la just considering whether or not ho would like to become ono ot this army , I am going to glvo the result nf a talk that I hail the other day with n young man who hag just become the managing clerk In a large ofllcc where he started In lx jcara ago ai an otllce boy. "Hy the tlmo I vas 1C , " said this young man , \vhoin I shall call Mr. Graham be cause that In really his name , "I had made up my mind that I wanted to be a lawyer. It was necessary for me to go to work , and ns I was offered my choice between a store and a law olllcc I naturally took the latter cud was utarted In at a salary ot $3 per week. The first day I got a black eye from one of the older bojs In the olDce because I objected to the name of Stub , which IIP had conferred upon me ; I broke ono of the typow rltcrs In trying to operate dt , and I got an electric shock from prying out the Kockct of one ot the lamps , but these acci dents were kindly overlooked. As I waa the youngcat boy It fell to my lot to close the olllcc at night. That first day I stayed bell I ml after every one else had gcrio and wondering how It felt to bo a real lawyer I fo a big book and Eat down In the olllco of thu head of the firm with my feet on the edge of the desk. 1 was Juat Imagining that I had an Income of $30,000 a year when a shadow fell across the desk , and glancing up I saw my employer looking down at me. It aroma he had returned for an Important paper which ho wished > to use. Well , 1 could feel mjaelf shriveling up under h's ' gaze until I felt like a very annll pea In a \ery largo pod The lawyer looked very stern , but there- was a twinkle In his eye as he said. "William , I am pleased to see you so Industrious , but I would suggest that only full-fledged lawyers should alt with their feet on the desk. ' "That wasn't < i very good beginning , but after a little I got on better. There wasn't much to do at first except to receive callers , sort over the rrall , bring books from the library for the members of the firm and elml- THB DRIVER STARTRD OFF AT A LIVELY PACE. lr errands. My flrat really exciting experi ence came after I had been In the office about six months. There was an Important suit on hand In which our firm was concerned , and I was frequ ntly In court during the trial to be on hand In case any papera were to be brought from the ofllco or other erranfin done It wa a civil action , M > that the jury was not locked up at night , as It Is In criminal cases , but was allowed to go home One day , near the close of the trial , my employer called me up and aald "Do you think you con follow Juryman No. C up there and keep him In sight when he leavea the court room today ? Do-i't let him fee you , but watch him closely , for I think there's something wrong , " So when Mr Juryman loft the court room I followed along behind , looking In at the shop windows , hut keeping our ejo on him all tbo time. Ho walked a few blocks and thrn waited at a street corner until a car- ilago pulled up at the curb. Inside the carriage I caught a glance of the lawyer foi the opposite tide. The man I was following Jumped Into the carriage and the driver started off at a lively pace. There was only ono way for me to keep up with them , so I tnado a dash for the carriage and Jumped up behind. It vvoa no easy matter to bang on in my narrow perch at the rate wo were "A 1)0(1 ( RUSHED OUT AT ME. " going , anil , ol course , with the rattle and roar In the Htrcet I could hear nothing of what was going on inilde the. carriage. After 11 while , how-over , I raised ro > it'll up so that I could look through the rear ga ! < ? a and watch the two men. They were talking bmlly together and i-re ontly the lawyer lauded the othtr an emelope. Then he stopped the carrUge and Jumped out Just as I WAS stroll- In ? away In the opposite direction. When I reported what I had * een at the otllce all uiy employer said waa "Hood ! " but he went to theotlur lawyer and told him what ho knew , The other man knew that It the fact that ho h-ad Ud anything to do with ono of the Jury came out hU standing at the bar would bo ruined , and so , although the Jury disagreed , the cue was bettled out of court iu a way vwy nathfactory to our side. "When , a criminal trial to oa , and ep - elallr when the prisoner Is a woman , the lawyers are usually very particular about the appearance ot their client In court. I remember that our firm was defending a woman who was accused of a serious crime. It was decided that she would look beat In blue , so I sent with one of the type writer girls id i > ick out a blue suit and hat for our client. I also got some powder to take the nhlno off her face and ome eye wash to remove the signs ot the loirs ho had shed. Then I had to help fix her up , and to rehearse with her exactly how she was to act In the court room , Ono would hardly think of this as part ot a legal train ing , but It happens often enough In some kinds of criminal cases and In divorce and damage suits , I "My ( unnlest experience came after I was 18 and was allowed by law to servo papers , j In most cases where persons are ordered to I appear In court It Is necessary to deliver the order Into their hands and sometimes this . Is a dlmcull matter. My first experience ot this kind was with a woman who was or- [ ilcreil to appear In supplementary proceedIngs - I Ings , but on whom nobody had been able , to servo the papers. I found that nho lived I on the second floor ot a fashionable boarding hoti'o uptown I went up one evening and looked the place over. I knew that It would bo of no liso to call at the house and ask for her , but seeing that the door that opened on a balcony above the porch was open I thought Uiat If i could climb up there I could knock at her door and give her the paper when she came out. A grape vine ran up the balcony , and I started to climb up by that , and had got almost to the top when the thing broke and I came down with a great crash. A dog ruined1 out at me. from under the porch and as I tumbled out ot the front gate , leaving a large piece of my trousers In the dog's mouth I heard two or three voices crylnf ? 'alo him Tlge. ' I after ward nerved the papers by borrowing the. uniform of a district messenger boy friend and passing them off as a telegram. An other tlmo I hai1 to get a place aa hell boy "I HAD TO HELP KIX HHR UI > . " In a hotel In ordnr to servo a paper on one/ of the gucuts and once I made friends with a man's watchdog and lay nearly all night under the man's porch beside the dog wait' Ing for him to come homo , BO that I might servo a paper on him. "There Is often detective work to do In looking up witnesses or hunting for lost documents and a bright boy has plenty of chances to use his wits In this way. nut really the best thing that a boy learns In a law ofllce Is to know human nature and to deal with men. Then he stould complete his legal education at some good law school and ho will have a fair chance to become a successful lawyer. " I have talked with many men who are prominent In the legal profession , and they all agree that the youngster who starts In as an olllco boy has no reason to despair of rising to the very top of the profession. There are many things one can learn bet ter at 15 than at 25 , and If the office boy will afterward pecuro the training that can bo had at one of the many good law schools In this country , he will begin practice with a real advantage over the man vho has spent all his jears In schools and colleges. Many of the most prominent men In this country today began life as olllco boys. The road along which William McKlnley tra\eled to the president's chair began In a very unpretentious law ofllco In a very small Ohio town. Garret A. Hobart , who was a very successful lawyer with an In come of many times the sum he now re ceives as vice president of the United States , began his career as a lawyer's clerk In I'at- erson , N. J. drover Cleveland copied legal papers In ( Buffalo , N. Y. , before he ever dreamed of being president. Secretary of State John Sherman began In the same way So did Frank S. lilack , the governor of New York ; BO did ex-Senator David D Hill. These men are well known because they have stepped Into prominence In the affairs of the nation , but they were all suc cessful lawyers before they held public ofllcc , and they were lawyers' boys before they became successful lawyers. The Hat might bo extended to almost tiresome length with other names , not ro familiar as these perhaps , but all belonging to men who are at the head of the legal profession In the various states and cities , who get the big fees , who handle the cases Involving thou sands of dollars , or perhaps oven human lives. ici.vns Tnc > Fine Ilc > iiNt Hint Hail Sliiio rc IllllllltM III Wlllt till Tilt-Ill.

F D Hues- tlfl , the new customs collector for the Puget sound district , who took olllco three dnju ago , has made a now ruling In the matter of admitting Chinese laboreis. He has re fused admltanco to seven Chinese who or- ilved from Victoria , II. C , on the ground that they had departed 'Horn other ports when leaving this country. Until fifteen months ago the requirement was enforced that Chliu'so must re-enter at the port of departure , but during the past year com pliance with this rule has not been required from Chinese Immigrants owing to a pre cedent established by the Treasury depart ment In the case of Strathncvls Immigrants , when Chinese were admitted regardless of the port of departure. As a result man > Chinese succseded In entering here when they could not have made a satisfactory showing at the port from which they had departed , Collector HucstU' return to the former rule has failed forth a Rtoun of protests from Interested Chinese residents of the Pa cific coast , The action of the new collector nlll probably decrease the wholesale enterIng - Ing of Chinese through this district.

It is very probable that during the present week the directorship of the music ot the exposition will bo settled , There has been some talk among those not In a position to know the real demands about a business man being appointed director general Whether the kind ot business man lequlrcd shall bo ono who can speculate In wheat and I com , cither with or without a hoe , or ouoj who can sell calico , or run a printing ofllcc , I or pave a stieet , or dispense acids and tine- ] , tures , does not at this writing appear. Ilyi business man Is evidently meant any ono who Is not a musician and It carries with It ! the Idea that a musician cannot bo a bual-j ness man. i j j The fact Is tliptery many theatrical , I opo'a and concert managers began their careers In the profession and that actml work on the Btage of In concert gave them I the knowledge which must ho the basin upon ' which to deal with ai'tlsts and public Whooxor Is chosliras dlrr tor general will need to know cn9Ugh of business to make contracts with singers and plajurs and for 'advertising ' and printingalso ; to furnish suit able matter for the same and to approximate [ Its prohibit ) cost , and Influence upon the ' public He must also bo able to keep , or ha\o Kept , accnrito' records of all trans actions. Besides this It Is Imperative that ho know what lli , ! ; business man of the hoe or calico experience cannot posblbly luvo learned how mucTi "vocal artlots are worth , not only In their pilco for seivices , but ability to draw the pybllc , what parts they sing , what styles of music they are beat j qualified to Interpret , what orchestra players I will engage for and what uervlccs they can bo expected to render , upon what ternn I other Instrumentalists can be secured , also what printed matter artists of all kinds will furnish gratis for advertising purposes , what managers can anil will do , not only In fur nishing artists , but In advertising them i well , there seem to bo several things that i the business man with the hoe never dug i up or tbo man of the calico never toro off. Not only must the director general know all about these things , but he must be able to so make out his programs that ho will use to the best advantage the musical resources fat his disposal Knowing what each artist can do best , he will engage him for that I special kind of work and select his other j numbers accordingly.

" There scorns to bo a slight feeling among sonio musicians and some who are not musicians , that the chief ofilco of the ex position IB to glvo away the good things From Juno to November , next jcar , Is to bo a perpetual Christmas and everybody's sock , no matter how largo , has to bo kept full , oven If It hasn't been darned slnco noedlrs were Invented. The exposition has nothing to glvo , excepting what It has al ready received , therefore let those who wish to receive much turn In and give gener ously , for only In that way can they enable the exposition to glvo to them as they de- siro. They do not forward their cause any by finding fault with the managers , or In prophesying that there won't be any cxposl- tlon , ' or that even If there Is , there won't bo any music worthy of the name. There i are plenty of difficulties yet to overcome and united assistance will overcome ) thorn I In due time. A rumor has gone abroad thai the exposition Is to have no auditorium. Like mont rumors , this Is a mistake , The managers are simply waiting until it Is de cided what order of musical performances are to be given and then they will complete the plans for the building In the best In tercuts of what are to bo Its uses The success of the musical department , arils- I tlcally and financially , will depend consid erably upon the attracth enuss and comfort of the auditorium. Omaha Is so In need of i a largo , commodious concert hall that It would bo a great advantage to the develop ment of music In this city If the auditorium could bo be built that when the exposition Is over It could bo moved Into town to be come the homo of largo musical enterprises.
