PUTY OF A PROBATE

ing himself from shark lawyers. ; An, ignorant, simple

The Judge ia reported as saying that the'eontract for
a 50 per cent of the amount to.be, recovered on account
;' the death of Jansen, to be paid to the.IaWjrer appointed
' ; by the court, 'was reasonable and unobjectionable. ".; On
that point there will be a difference of opinion. Perhaps
most lawyers will agree wittuthts
think the rest of the public will hot ,
tion, a trial in court, a eodtest-in which a lawyer had to
expend time and display talent, 50 per 'cent of a claim
f collected might .be. reasonable, but
reasonable tn case amicably settled
But "in this case not only, was the
, torney, both particular friends of the
' - regardless of whether he did anything
but just then MriKuffin, indignant
- Ruffin, -appear on the scene; ; & As lJ
'. enough lawyers In Portland to attend
ter; Mr. Ruffin .rushes over all the" way from South
Bendl. Washington,' to take care of young Jansen' .jrt-
terests, and makes a bargain with him for 50 per cent of
tht; jdainw How did he staell this case so far away-? It
seems aTTOnd7t..his who knew the

M.l:a K..;r.a Th,i t, rim nf in "wort
Jansen for half of what cpuld be got
company, meanwhile working" i irii
But as 100 per cent fees would be rather too jmtcn, the
. two lawyers, Ruffin and Riddel!, got together and gen
. erously agreed to allow Jansen 40 per cent, less expenses,
they, to divide w per cent, -or i,ow oi me oerween
; them,; anr Ruffin' got his" half of this and hied him
down to the seashore to-have a good time. ' y
Both these attorney protest that, their actions have
been not only strictly legal but above reproach n As to
, this the court "will to some extent decide, and we pre
. sume will aim to do justice to all concerned; but whatever.
; the outcome,, what we wish to say here is that we think
i: it is the. duty of a probate court to protect Such a person
i as Jansen in such a case front even his own foolish and
financially'Tulbous bargains.. 'Ncr'..-.' ?.V-Ti;'"!---.l;,
- la the first place it i important to bare Tan honest,
conscientious administrator one- who. for .the legal . fees
will protect the person to whom the money is due. In
the- next place an attorney should be allowed dnly a
reasonable. fee, brie in proportion to the servke rendered..
-And in the third place such a person as young Jansen
' should be advised and cautioned not to make bargains
with shark -lawyers, and if he does such a bargain as ths
of Jansen's with Ruffin should be set aside as uncon
" scionable, and one in consequence of "which money waa
naid without anv consideration therefor. .- .'''' "

Vara Beainning - with the "40th
chapter, there ia given a vision of a re
stored tempi which might In many of
Ito paaaagaa aeem to warrant a purely
literal Interpretation. - But th 47th
chapter la ao plainly allegorical that It
warrants us in considering all to be
apocalyptic. Thoae closing chapter
constitute a dream of an Meal state,
like-Plato's "Republic" er air Thonma
Moore'a Utopia" or Bellamy's "Looking
Baekward.".. ,.And In the-center of this
restored laraal, in tha center of Its re
built and glorified capital. aUrida tha
templa of Jehovah! And from tha very
heart of that tempi flow a river, re
freshing, musical., aparkllng. These
floods of .grace laeue.. it , will be ob-
aerved, from the vicinity of the altar
whlrh stood before- tha door of m boTy
noma .' . ; ,
Versa 1 Tha temple of Solomon and
tha two that eacceeded.lt wr butlt
upon the height of Mount Moriah.
whose eaat front waa precipltouav over,
hanging the vaUey of Jehoahaphat One
could not deacend directly into the val
ley from the temple, but passing out of
th tempi courts to th north, ha might
turn to tbe right and Walk along under
the eaat front of tha area until ome
whera leading from the templa crypt ha
would come upon a gat "that looketh
eastward.' Here the prophet saw in
his vision what he had never aeon In Aha
old city before Ito destruction, clear
and sparkling stream, leaping down, a
cascade formed by that beautiful rivulet
ha had aeen rising beneath tha altar in
tbe main court. , -
. Vara I,. But th etrange thing waa
that thia at ream did -not lose Itself
In the dry gorge through which it
passed, but aa hla guide demonstrated
by actual measurement,- It gained in
volume conatantly. -He and hla guide
walked through It eloae to th wall and
found H rippling about their ankle.
Vr 4. A little further down th
valley the stream began to be a force
It waa difficult to atem. -- v.
Ver I., Another advance and"the
brook was a river Impossible to ford.
That which, a little mora than a mile
above waa but spring beside th altar
of the house of Jehovah, waa now
broadening aea. v.. . , ,
Vera .. ThA proper impression
might be made, tha heavenly companion
walke back again to tha brink of the
river and calls attention to its depth and
breadth and swiftness. Bee thia. Note
the reality of It. Observe tha charac
teristics of It Meur It by your eye
and aak yourself whether any earthly
brook you . know Increaaeal In volume
like thia, or whether any rtver not fed
from heaven could ahow such Inoreaae
In ao brief a space. .-. ; v :..--, .

what he had not obaerved before the
