“It only required eight words once to
give me as servere a jolt as ever came
: my way in those early years when I
j was proud of my first single,” said a
| well known Washington members of
j the bar, relates the Post, when the talk
had veered around to the subject of trials
and tribulations of newly-made lawyers.
“It happened in the early ’80's, and.
although I wasn’t exactly briefless at
j the time, I wasn’t getting any more
casses than I could handle.
‘‘One day a couple of Texans, both
of them holding good positions at the
capitol, got into an altercation, and one
of them gavatheother a severe trouncing.
The victor in tfc fight, a huge, breezy
man, with a gi/ ic spread-eagle mus
tache, was arr4 for assault, and re
| leased on bail; A friend of his was a
friend of mine, and this mutual friend,
I willing to toss a case my way, sent the
Texan to my office for advice. I took his
| case. He didn’t appear to be even a lit
I tie bit worried about it, although I en
deavored to impress upon him the dif
ference between the District of Colum
bia brand of justice and that prevailing
down in ‘San Antone,’ where he hailed
from.
"The Texan who had lost out in the
fight was pretty badly hurt, and the
grand jury indicted my client for assault
in the first degree. That looked pretty
bad, and I hunted my Texan up and told
him so.
“ ‘I’m afraid you are taking this mat
ter a little too complaisantly,’ I said to
him. ‘But it’s really a bad job, from
every point of view. I want to impress
that upon you. You don’t appear to ap
preciate the fact that there’s quite a fair
chance of your having to go to prison
for this thing.’
" ‘Say, is that right, podner?’ the
Texan asked me, for the first time be
ginning to look a bot alarmed over the
olhiotlnn
“ ‘It is decidedly so,’ I told him.
“He got up from the chair and strode
up and down the room, tugging at his
mustache for a minute. Then he plumped
himself back into his chair.
“ ‘By h—11,’ he bawled, banging on
his desk with his first, ‘I’ve got to get a
lawyer!’ ”

To clean a glass decanter put into it
a few lumps of soda and a spoonful of
vinegar. Shake well but leave the top
open, or the decanter may burst. Rinse
i with clear water and turn down to

To clean a porcelain bathtub, make a

No one in these days thinks of paper
ing or whitewashing a kitchen. The
walls should be oil-painted in a fiat
finish—that is. without varnish—and If
it is properly done they may be washed
freely without injury to the surface.
There are also several patent wall cov
erings resembling light oilcloth that
are put on like paper.
