Necessity of Study Extensive reading is required to learn the law and keep informed of its frequent changes. Much study and reflection are necessary in planning for legal contests. These require seclusion and the shutting out of the diverting and enticing influences of society. The young man who has no taste for solitude and is unhappy when not enjoying the society of his fellows should not undertake the duties of this profession. In the country it may be easier to obtain and endure solitude, but in the cities the opportunities for entertainment and the allurements of pleasure are so numerous it is very difficult for one who craves such luxuries to suffer the self-denial.-Henry S. Wilcox. A Record of Bench and Bar Hon.

Judge Simon received his primary education at Jefferson College, in St. James Parish, and from there went to Georgetown College, near Washington, and later graduated in law from Harvard. Judge Simon, at Harvard, studied under Greenleaf, Story and Longfellow. It was from the pupil Simon that the poet Longfellow obtained the description and topography of the Teche country to write his poem "Evangeline."

He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1879 as a delegate from St. Martin Parish, and took a prominent part in the framing of the organic laws of Louisiana. James D. Maher Clerk of the United States Supreme Court the present time he is surrounded by a deputy clerk, four assistants, two stenographers, and two messengers. Among his most important duties are those of recording the minutes, judgments, orders, decrees, etc., of the court, and seeing that the docket is always up to date and correct, this latter duty being attended to every evening and necessitating at times his remaining in his office until 9 and 10 o'clock at night. He also has supervision of all printing for the court, which includes, with other things, the opinions handed down by the chief and associate justices. Although not required by law to do so, he keeps attorneys notified of the dates when their cases will be called before the court, and this entails a great amount of work owing to the wide jurisdiction of the court. The clerk also swears in all attorneys admitted to practise before the court, for which he receives a nominal fee. His salary, together with the fees received, makes his income compare favorably with that of other high officials of the government. JAMES D. MAHER take the testimony in the famous Chattanooga Contempt Case of the United States against Sheriff Shipp and others, and in the case of The People of New York v. The State of New Jersey and the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners, in which latter case he has been taking testimony for the past two years. He is a very popular official of the court, is known personally to every lawyer of note in the United States, and is regarded as an authority on Federal procedure. The duties of the clerk of the court are varied and numerous, and have been increasing as the years roll by, until at When Chief Justice White of the Supreme Court of the United States announced James D. Maher as the choice of the court for the position of clerk it marked only the eighth time during the one hundred and twenty-three years' existence of the court that a new clerk has been selected. "Can a fellow pay his fine in advance?" "If you want to," laughed the inspector. The visitor laid two half-sovereigns on the desk. "I'm going to lick a man, and I don't want any interference of the police while I do it." And he stalked out, muttering. Half an hour afterwards a man came in. Both his eyes were puffed, his nose crooked, his clothing was hanging on him in rags. "Well," he said, gently, "do you recognize me?" "Can't say that I do." "I'm the man who came in here half an hour ago and paid a fine in advance." "Oh! Well, what do you want now?" "Would you mind giving me 19s. 6d. back?"-Tit-Bits. The Toot Code. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, was being congratulated at a luncheon on his ordinance forbidding chauffeurs to blow their horns in the crowded business sections of the city. "Chauffeurs think," he said, "that they need only blow their horns and the pedestrian will leap out of the way. Let the chauffeurs drive with care, remembering that the pedestrian's right is supreme. "Why, if something isn't soon done, the chauffeurs, in their arrogance, will be getting up a horn Code for the pedestrian to learn and obey-a Code something like this: "One toot.-Throw a quick back handspring for the sidewalk. "Two toots.-Dive over the car. "Three toots.-Lie down calmly; it is too late to escape; but we will go over you as easily as possible if you keep very still. "One long and two short toots.Throw yourself forward and we will save both your arms. "One short and two long toots.Throw yourself backward and one leg will be saved.

A merchant conducted a little department store in a one-story building located between two immense department stores. fellow did not believe in advertising. One Monday morning, when opening his store, he found the big store to his right had swung over its doors a huge sign, "Fire Sale 45 per cent off for cash," and the big store to the left had placed over its doors a large sign bearing the words, "Clearance Sale-50 per cent off for cash." Customers swarmed in and out of the two big stores all day long and they did a thriving business, while the poor little merchant made only a few scattering sales. He worried over the situation considerably that evening, and, the next morning, instead of going to his store, he went on a quiet hunt for an advertising sign painter, and before 10 o'clock he had over his door a huge sign which bore in letters of brilliant colors the words "Main Entrance." This sign, coupled with those of his neighbors, did |
