FIGURE ON A BIG HORSE SHOW
Washington Horae Fanciers Ambitions
for Annual Event and President
Taft Interested.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-(SpecIal Tele
gram.) It Is understood that President Taft
ia much Interested in the movement to es
tablish a big annual horse show In this city.
President Taft Is fond of horses, although
he usually trails by automobile to save
time and recent reports from Beverly state
that Mlsa Helen Taft is showing unusual
interest In horseback riding this season.
Virginians, especially are desirous of
seeing established an annual horse show
which will draw entries, not only from
neighboring states, but from points as far
away aa Boston and Chicago.
The present arrangements are for a horse
show which will be held here on October
19 and 20 and which may be graced by
President Taft's attendance. There Is, at
present what la known as the Virgin!
circuit. This circuit of Bhowa has been
very popular In the past and at times
there have been several entries from Lon
don.
However, Washington turfmen are be
coming more ambitious. It ia feared by
some touowers or the sport that a btgj
annual horse show In Washington would
conflict with the National Horse Show In
New Tork. which ia held annually In Mad!
son Square Garden. On this account It Is
urged that the Washington Horse Show be
held In the spring instead of the fall.
Breeders from Maryland, Virginia. Ken
tucky and the Carollnas, have communi
cated with Kelvin Haaen of the Washington
Horse Show association and other local men
and have pledged their hearty support to
a movement for holding an unusually big
horse show here every year. Mr. Haaen
said:
"We are very much encouraged by the
attitude of turfmen from other states.
Many members of congress and men In offi
cial life are lovers of horseflesh and we
are expecting them to co-operate with us
In this movement"

the town or district' where, he Is appointed
(so-called residence duty)', Further, he
must conduct himself in and out of office
In a way befitting his professional and
social standing (i. e. duty due to his
rank). Thus a lawyer is forbidden to ad
vertise In newspapers, by canvassing, etc.,
or to buy or take over a practice already
made, as being unworthy ot hU calling.
His position In society Is between offi
cials and scholars, and through custom and
law he is compelled to keep the position to
the last degree. TM compulsion to keep
one's rank has given rise to the existence of
committees called anwalts kammern, whose
duty It Is to keep a strict watch that no
lawyer dishonors his calling. These com
mittees have a strict code of punishment,
ranging to complete expulsion from office.
In this way tho lawyers In Germany hav
a good and honored position; In fact, thers
Is scarcely a country In which the lawyer
enjoys more respect and confidence. Green

LAWYERS REGULATED BY LAW
Germany Does Not Permit Them to
Advertise and Fixes Their
Fees.
The German law fixes the exact fees
which a German attorney has to claim for
all kinds of professional "work and the
rechtsanwalt can charge neither more nor
less.
These fees apply to all matters of the
civil code and of criminal cases. The
amount depends exclusively on the value of
the object of contention.
It Is an old though still unfulfilled wish
of German lawyers to have a new fixed
list of charges not made after the old and
low standard of the year 1879, but mads
with consideration of the changes the nu
merous decided changes which have taken
place since that year.
The rechtsanwalt Is attorney and eoun
sellor at law all In one (In England so
licitor and barrister). The rechesanwalt
can never be a business man, as ia the
case In the United States.
The exercise oi the law is not to be
considered a calling or a profession, but Is
to be looked on more as a public office,
According to the lawyers code of July 1,
1878, lawyers are charged publicly with
certain duties.

Wise men and not a few wise womes
have given a great deal of brain-fagging
thought In an endeavor to devise ways
and means for the promotion of matri
mony. In every community there are s
few persistent old bachelors, who refuse ia
be Corral ed. Here and there is one who
by common repute gets to be classified at
a "woman hater." But Mrs. Adellns
Qutsehaw, a widow of Austin, 111., hai
found out how to bring even a woman
hater from the error of his way and
render him a willing victim of the matri
monial halter. She has captured the on
woman hater In her district, and she thus
tells how she did it:
"Add four eggs to a quart of nillk, a
half cup of sugar and a little vanilla.
Bake half an hour until it sets. Serve
custard hot with cream and sugar.
"Take one and a half cups of sugar, one
cup of sour milk or cream, two eggs, one
teaspoonful of soda, one cup of Mutter
and flour to mix soft. Add vanilla flavor
ing and bake until cookies are a delicious
brown."
No woman hater, there Is reason to be
lieve, can resist this bait. Anyhow, It
decoyed Into matrimony one man who had
a woman-hating record running back
through twenty-one years. Like most
great cures. It Is a compound of simples,
though undoubtedly of considerable amount
of skill on the part of the compounder
Is necessary. The serving of the cure
will not generally be a matter of great
trouble or difficulty. The remedy only
needs to be prepared according to the
recipe and left where the deranged man
can find tt. If desired results are not
produced Immediately, treatment should
be kept up. Baltimore American.
