HoW Be Baited. an Honest Yong Lawyerie Reputation. IAM:a plain, hornet lawyer, and, be ore a certain young man moved into my double office, my repatebion was spotless. He moved in for the osten- sible wurposse of sharing the expense of rent. He WaS h nice -looking young man and had a fair exterior. The dem following his arrangement with me he moved in., elhan is, he appeared in person. Otherwise he did nob have mueh to move. Bub poverty is no Oriole and I took a fancy to hint on seaount of his prin- ciples. It is SO plhe438.11b to meet someone nowedays with principles. He had plenty of them and it did me good to listen to him. " A lawyer," he would say, "hes no right to defend a orinnual when he is gullet'," and, althongh I did not agree with him, I respected toe extreme virtues, and congrimalated myself upon having such a righteous room -mete. There was a marked peenliarity about our being in the same office together. People said that we mem- bled each other in personal appearance, which I construed as a compliment to me. He worked up a good busureas at once, for only a week after he entered his office he had a case. Other oeses followed, and at the same time, singularly enough, my prac- tice deoresema. When the first month's rent wen due he hit ale on the back in his hearty, familiar feshion and said : "You pay this month, old man, and I wilt next." As that was fair I did so. One day, when alone in the office, I was pondering upon the victseitudes of fete and the soarcioy of fees when a mem rushed into the office in an unceremonious manner and etood glaring at me. Rejoiced over what eeemed to be the immediate prospect of a client in pursuit of a dishonest partner or a wife who had eloped, I assumed a soft, insinuating smile and politely waved him to a chair. My courteous invitation was de- clined and the man, taking a step nearer, exclaimed, "Scoundrel I" I presumed that he was referring to some one who bad injured him and from whom he desired redresr in the courts, and so laughed in a conciliatory manner. "Come, come, my dear sir, you must nob give way in this manner," I eau!. "Calm yourself, I beg of you." "&h, you dare jest ?" he cried. "But you shall settle with me, sir. Do you know Maggie Mien ?'' It chanced that I did know the young woman, who lived in our neighborhood. I responded in the affirmative, and added something about her being a very charming girl. " And now, sir," I said tartly, " will you tell me who you are ?" He drew himself up aa though about to impeat startling iniaraiation."1 am Mag. gie'a beat fellow, or at least I was before you came along and alienated her affectioas from me." "What ?" "Alienated her affections." " I ?" "You! The corner grocer told me all about ib; how you used to meet Maggie every night near his store and take her to the theatre and other places. Maggie was contented enough until you came along, and then I began to see a change that I couldn't account for u.atil the groper told me about you, and now I an going to wipe the fieor with you." I started to argue the matter watt him in my most persuasive professional style, but he resorted to the teaks of the ring and proceeded to carry out literally his last statement My sensations the next few moments were those of a man falling from a balloon or going through a thrashing machine. When I recovered he heel departed; my coat vve.s torn ; a Miele was broken; pens, 'papers and books were scattered here and there, and the office looked as though it had been struck with - a cyclone. "Upon my word," I thought, raiaing myself on my elbow in the corner of the room, "5 ebrange visitor I" When my roonnms,te came in he expressed the greatest sympathy, and so genuine were hie words of coneolation that I seized his hand gratefully and said: "Thank, dear boy, thanks I You are a friend indeed." After that, mishaps came thick and fast. I seemed to he a epecial mark for the cruel shafts of fate. One day is gentleman whom I had never seea before COMO into the office and immured me of having cheated him at a garae of poker. His claim was that I had two aces in my sleeve. Now, as I never play poker lin gambled, in ray Life, this was remarkably strange. I told him that the festive game barl no attractions for me, and he stared at me in amazement. He ad- mitted that he was rather "under the shadow of the vis" the night before, bat that his perceptions were perfectly clear, and that I had beyond a doubt Dwindled him in a gentleman's game out of 8157, which I had better return at once. I re- torted that I did not know a flush from a full and I hail never sat ie a jack -pot in my life, at which he looked unutterable more. "Then you refuse to return your ill- gotten galas ?" he patted. "1 certhinly do. ' " Very well; you will hear from me." And I did, The story got around that I played a orooked game of poker, and, although I marled myself witb the bearing of a man wilts is innocent, I could see that I was regarded with zuspicion. Even the young lady e bow coraperty I was keeping at tire tittle eeperetitly knew something, for °tie eight e he said, With a twinkle in her eye; "Do you play poker, Tem?" Of Course I derlied that I did, et whieh she looked esteem, wed added : " Pehew I What's the use -in denying it? i Why do you know, ,, I—I ph/sometimes myself." Naturally I, expreseed my horror at this confeesioei mei told her that I hoped ehe would reiorm, and tlitat I did not approve of young girls plaving cards. Then she actually winked. "' Oh, you are too good," she remarked. " Say, how do you do it ?" "What ? ti "Keep :mat 0 ear& up your sleeve? Please te!1 ree.

" It is." "Then there is nothing more to be said." With that she took the ring from her pretty finger and handed it to me. • "Good evening, sir." I bowed myself out in despair. So all was over? Thou visions of a neat little home were lost forever. The next morning when my roommate presented himself I • fancied that he looked tired and sleepy. He explained this by saying that he had been up all night with a bad headache. He • notioed my melancholy appearance, and when I told him all ebony it, he again offered his eympathy and remarked in a jocular manner : "Never mind, rim boy. There are just as good fish in the sea as have ever been caugo.t." I told him there was only one Lucinda, but he shrugged his shoulders. He then wenb out to attend a case in court, and 1 eeitted myself in a consolate manner in my easy chair, in the inner office. I had slept little to speak of the night before and nature asserted itaelf in•spite of my headache. I dozed off. After a time I was aroused by voices in the outer office and heard a woman ask for me. " kle is not in," was the reply of my room.mate, and I was about to step out when a few words that followed arrested my attention and I remained where I was, listening. "If you have come on legal business, madam, I will answer your pur- pose just as well. I am authorized to act tor him. I am hlipartner as you see by my name on the door.' His worde filled me with amazement. "Be seated, madam,and state your case." The visitor did an an he listened with the greatest complecency, offering a suggestion here and there and occasionally asking a question. When she had finished, he retnarked, "1 think you have a good cane." In this I knew he was wrong. The case was a. bed one end no conscientious lawyer wonid have touched ib. "Then would yon advise me to take the matter to the courts ?" she *eked. " I would. It would be foolish to settle." When she was shoat to leave she Baked : What are your charges ?" " Twenty-fiv-e dollars retainer fee and fifty more if we win." She took oat her purse and gave him the money. " You are really to tte congratu- lated, misdeal, that you found me in instead of my partner," he continued. " B:e is one of those scrupulous lawyers who always bee their cases.

Do you know what set me thiaking about this matter ? OE course not. Well I'll tell you. It was the sight of a bailiff stripping of the lest stick and rag what was once a com- fortable home. Not an unusual sight? 'Unfortunately it is not. But one does not always know the facts of the oaee in a way O=im ut pres 'the scene on one's mind. Less than ten years ago this man married a confiding girl, and happy and hopeful they began life together. He had saved a little money and was an excellent trades- men, earning more than many professional men, and proopects of being .settled early in life with a comfortable competency were bright. They built a very cczy house and soon ceased to be at the whim of a land- lord. He had all the work he could do and was the envy of less fortunate fellows. Three children wero born ' to thein; they were happy. But a time earn° when the serial drin became for him the pitfall that wrecked him. It ceased to serve his appetite ; it made him serve. He became a slave to it. Night after night he used to stagger home, the terror of hie family, and like a eodden brute wallow in his vomit on the hall carpet. His work was neglected ; money must be had ; the home was mortgaged. Debt added to idlenesa and drink lent him impetus in his downward movement and cmickly dieelpated the savings of years. Then Death visited the home. Death Is always sad, always painful to those who live, but its sadness is intensified when ib suddenly takes swam the mother from her children, one of whom has just been ushered into the world, and leaves them to the mercies ot a father who is too drunk to know of the calamity that has fallen upon him. The wife died in giving birth to a fourth child, and for some hours the father was too drunk to understand it. Then followed a period in which the children lived under the care of their aged grandmother, and the father indulged his unnetural appetite for strong drink unre- strained. Then Death came again and left the child- ren without their foster -mother, and for it time they were alone with their diunken father.

The end came the other day, when bailiffs denuded the house of its furnishings in the absence of the creature who had thus pledged all he owned to gratify the craving to which he had become a slave. Not even the linen of the dead mother was spared.

TO TEACH TEACHERS Free Summer Course of Training at the Ontario Agricultural College. To meet the growing demand • that school teaohers have some knowledge of the science of farming, a pawner course in agriculture has been arranged for the teachers of the Province, which is of a very attractive char- acter. It will be held at the Gaelph College and will lest from July 3rd to the end of that mouth. Atteommodation will be pro- vided for 50 teachers, male or forage, who will have rooms and board in the college for $12 for the term, payable in. advance. Taere will be no tuibion be. The course will erabrace agriculture, dairy- ing, agricultural chemistry, geology, bot- any and entomology. Lectureswill be delivered in the mornings ; the afternoone will be devoted to geological and botanical excursions in charge ot a professor, and ether practical work in the laboratories. The course b destined to show the teachers how agricultural subjects may be taught by simple talks, and give the teachers a knowledge of tte subject that will form a basis for such instruction. Apart from the attractive studies prom- ised a month's etay at the college will be a pleasant holiday for those who attend. The institution is prettily sitaisted, and all the departments of a perfectly appointed farm are to be seen in practical working. Do You Suffer Pain?
