Gibbon, writing In dispassionate style, of conditions which existed during the de cline of tho Roman empire, tells of at torneys who encouraged suits to provldo tees; who furnished rich clients with legal subterfuges, and who took their clients through a maze of expense and delay only to leave them after years of litiga tion with patience and fortune exhausted. The historian thus describes the bar as sociation which needed a houso-cleaning at that early date: "Hut In tho decline of Roman Juris prudence, the ordinary promotion of law yers was pregnant with mischief and dis grace. The noble, art, which had once been preserved as the sacred Inheritance of the patricians, was falling Into the hands of freedmcu and plebeians, who, with cunning rather than with skill, ex ercised a sordid and pernicious trade. Home of them procured admittance into families for the purpose of fomenting dif ferences, of encouraging suits, and of rreparing a harvest of gain for them selves or their brethren. Others, reclus In their chambers, maintained the dig nity of legal professors, by furnishing a rich client with subtleties to confound the plainest truths, and with arguments to color tho most unjustifiable preten sions. Tho splendid and popular mass was composed of the advocates; who filled the Forum with the sound of their tur gid and loquacious rhetoric. Careless of fume and of Justice, they tiro described, for the most part, as Ignorant and rapa cious guides, who conducted their clients through a maze of expense, of delay and of disappointment; from whence, after a tedious series of years, they wcro at length dismissed, when their patience and fortune were almost exhausted," PRISONER SAYS HE WAS ONLY LICKING A STAMP Dick and George Armstrong of Des Moines were taken by Officer Tlmm Wednesday evening for disturbing the peace In the postotflce, where they were trying to tango and drink whisky at the same time. In police court one of the pair was asked by Judge Foster what they were doing. "Why, Judge, your honor, please, I was only licking a postage stamp," Informed she prisoner. "Wrong complaint," declared Foster, glaring at the city prosecutor, "these men should have been Arraigned for assault and battery. Discharged." Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Big Returns.
