HOW TO BECOME A LAWYER.
A dav or two ago, when a young- man entered a Detroit lawyer’s ofiice to study law, the practitioner sat down beside lii'ii and t-aid : “Now, see Lore, I- have no time to fool away, and if you don’t pan out well, I won’t keep you thirty days. Do you want to make a good lawyer ? ” “ Yes, Sir ” u Well, now, listen. Be polite to old people, because they have cash, lie good to the boys, because they are growing up to a cash basis. Work in with the reporters and get puffs. Do to clmreli for the sake of example. Don’t fool any time away on poetry, and don’t even look at a girl until yon can plead a ease If you can follow these instructions you will succeed. If yon cannot, go and learn to be a doctor and kill your best friends.”—Detroit Free Dress.
