It to undoubtedly true that lu for­ mer tunes In all parts of tbe country i it waa conaldered more Important and more creditable to save a man’s life or liberty than to get a verdict where | property only waa concerned. These , days Lave passed, however, as far as ' New York Is concerned, and In a lesser degree, possibly, in nearly all tbe other states, and despite the agitation on tbe subject they are never likely to re- : turn. It to lntereetlng to turn back to tbe earliest days of tbe republic and tbe careers of two lawyers who would have been giants In any age or in any country and wbo were antag­ onistic in character and purpose—Alex­ ander Hamilton and Aaron'Burr. Both men accepted criminal as well as civil cases. One of the greatest efforts of Hamilton's life was his appearance for one Crosswell, charged with publish Ing a scandalous libel upon Thomas Jefferson. Tbe court was divided in its verdict, but tbe prisoner was never punished. Aaron Burr, that erratic genius who lacked a balance wheel, to said never to have lost a case in which be alone was counsel. It is also of record that be won a case in which by a queer trick of fate bis associate counsel was Hamilton. It was a murder ease. Tbe actions and manner of tbe principal witness against the prisoner seemed to Burr exceedingly suspicious, and it Is said that both Burr and Hamilton were undecided in their own minds which was the guilty party—the wit­ ness or tbe prisoner. Hamilton's sum­ ming up was perfunctory. Burr be­ gan to address tbe Jury when it was nearly dark. Tbe witness for tbe prosecution was leaning against a pil­ lar. His face was pallid and covered with perspiration. He listened intent­ ly to tbe lawyer. Suddenly Burr seiz­ ed a large candelabrum, and. throw­ ing tbe light on tbe face of tbe wit­ ness. shouted, “Behold tbe murderer, gentlemen!” Tbe witness turned and rushed from the courtroom and tbe prisoner was acquitted.—F. P. Ward in Harper’s Weekly. ' Tbe French Foreign Legion Is [unique.

WORKED TOO HARD. Why David Graham Phillips Once Lott a Situation. I People wbo thought tbat tbe late I David Graham Phillips bad a rapid, fluent and even at times overhasty pen were very far from tbe truth, says a writer In the Bookman. Nr.

A story which he sometimes told at his own expense illustrates this. It was shortly after his graduation from Princeton tbat he sought work as a reporter and finally by offering bis services for nothing obtained • chance to shew wbat be could do on the lead­ ing dally in a western city. The weather was cold and the tem­ perature of the office somewhere be­ low 00 degrees, yet hour after hour Mr. Phillips would alt at bis desk with the moisture rolling from bls brow in tbe anguish of trying to make litera­ ture from such material as “Yester­ day afternoon John Jones fell off a stepladder and dtolocated bto shoul­ der.” One day—It was the tenth of Mr. Phillips’ services—the presiding genius of the paper happened to pass through the city room and stood for some min­ utes watching him. “Who to tbat young man?’ he pres­ ently asked ths city editor. The latter explained. “Get rid of him!” came the curt edict. “But.” expostulated the city editor. “We are getting him for nothing.' »» “I don’t care,” rejoined the higher power. “I don’t care if be Is paying for the privilege.
