LINCOLN'S ADVICE TO LAWYERS.
"Discourage litigation," was his ad-
vice to lawyers. "Persuade your neigh-
bors to compromise whenever you can.
Point out to them now the nominal
winner is often the real loser—in fees,
enpenees and waste of time. Ae a
peacemaker the lawyer has a superior
opportunity of becoming a good man.
There will always be enough business.
Never stir up a litigation. A worse
man can scarcely be found than one
who does this, Who can be more nearly
a fiend than he who habitually over-
hauls the register of deeds in search of
defects in titles, whereon to stir up
strife and put money inhis pocket? A
moral tone ought to be infused. into the
profession which should drive such men
t of • ."
It has been truly said that those
words, should be posted in every law
office in the land, and. it, will be seen,
when Lincoln's record is fully exam-
ined, that it was not a mere theorist
who wrote them, but an active practi-
tioner of wide experience 'who lived up
to his own teaching.—From Frederick
Trevor Hill's Lincoln the Lawyer, in the
February Century.

I had not done for years. I kept at the

"When I was first doctoring, I used to
run up hill and overexert myself in au at-

it was helping me, and finally cured me.

Asked as to his explanation of this
peculiar fact, Mr. Reed said: "I don't

I know is that It does the work and that
