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-

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

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.

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. Nearly
1,300 have been entered here during the past
elx months.

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

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- ]

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

careers In the profession and that actml

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

j qualified to Interpret , what orchestra players
I will engage for and what uervlccs they can

what printed matter artists of all kinds will

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

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

could bo be built that when the exposition
