Any step to assure better service in legal matters will be hailed with gratification by the public, and Bar Aesociations, whether local, State or national, are better fitted then other organizations to pro- mote such improvement. In this case, however, the step to be taken ; appears to be wholly in the interest of lawyers. It matters little, to the people whether ordinary legal papers, such as deeds, be drawn up by a lawyer or « notary public, or eome person employed by a corpora- > tion, s0 long as the work is well done, Much worse law practise than that is carried on within the mem- bership of the Bar itself.

VOORHEES, in an article contributed to the Morning World of yesterday, eaye: “From June 1 to July 7 mere than 118 persons have been bitten by vicious and rabid - @ogs.” He adds: “We can thank the New York Board of Health | for ite prompt.and efficient action in preventing human hydrophobia. + rom twenty to twenty-five patients report daily at the clinic rooms | for preventive inoculation. Many of these patients are children who have been bitten while at play in the streets.” A Mhe facts are not new. Similar etatistics are presented every » «year. ‘They arise in winter, pring and autumn as well as in summer. "Nor is it the mad or the vicious dog only that attacks children. Hun- > gry, half-tarved dogs, wandering about the streets, have been about es dangerous as any. Preventive inoculation of children is good, but preventive mus- | sling of dogs would be better. Dr. Voorhees points out that while © deaths from rabies in England numbered 312 in 1889, the enforce- ment of muzzling and other regulations has 60 completely overcome the danger that the disease has been unknown there since 1902. The conclusion is simple. If we muzzle dogs we will not have to inoculate children, and as a process it is not only eafer and saner but cheaper. ‘ neh: IT WON,T WORK. M PERCIVAL E. NAGLE, transfer tax appraiser, is quoted as saying that if the city is to engage in maintaining a pen- sion system the pensions should go not to men that have = been employed for twenty-five years but to those that for twenty- ) * five years have had no employment at all. ¥ The proposition has many merits. It is logical, charitable and just. It is logical because pensions should reasonably go not to men that have had chances to save money, but to those that have had none, It is charitable because it sympathizes with the most needy. It is just because he that has had no share in the municipal feast in his youth should have a hand-out in old age. There is only one objection to the plan, but that is fatal. He that has not had energy enough to work at all will never have enough to work fora pension, Therefore, the scheme won't work. Hits From Sharp Wits.

Lo, by the watets of Babylon there dwelt two youths; and one of them was called SLOW and the other CHBERFULLYER, Ana they met a maiden who was passing beautiful, and both of them Were straightway smitten. Now, Slow was the first to be presented to the maiden, and he invited her to go Walking. And the maiden talked to him of many things; of books and of travel and of platonic friendship and of her IDEALS, And Slow sought to appear noble in wer eyes and trotted out all his | Virtues and his deeds of kindness and his ASPIRATIONS, Yea, when he had finished he was covered with whitewash. And when they had returned he sought Cheerfullyer, saying: “She is a PHACH, and likewise @ ‘sensible’ girl! She will not airy, | neither will she spoon; for all her thoughts are upon serious things. “Alas! I fear I have no chance With her; for she 1s SO spirituelle! Lo, if she knew my Iife-story she would scorn me a6 unworthy” But Cheerfullyer only amiled and held his counsel, And when he met the damsel he besought her to go canoeing by the Nght of the moon. He placed the pillows at her back and his coat beneath her feet, that | she might be perfectly comfortable, Yea, he was SO solicitous. And as they floated upon the rippling waters he told her of his deep, | dark, wicked “past;” of the lands he had seen and the money he had wasted and the wild animals he had killed and the duels he had fought and the women he had known and the hearts he had broken, Yea, he painted himself in vermilion hues; for his imagination was | working overtime, Then he beat upon his breast and called himself names, saying: “Alas! WHY have I been such a rake and a black sheep! For lo, now that I eee the error of my ways, it 1s too late!” But the maiden took his hand {n hers and besought him, eaying: “Nay, verily! For at HEART thou brave and good and noble! ; And thy past hath but made thee more INTERESTING! Poor Boy! Thou needest some one to GUIDE thee. Yea, thou needest a woman's uplifting influence!” And thereupon Cheerfullyer kissed her tenderly, saying: “Oh, wilt thou be my guiding star?” And she wilted. = Verfly, verily, at the summer resort quick and the deadly.

If he should lose his position he might not meet such men as Mr. Cosgrove and Senator Crispen in other houses.” “I hadn't thought of that,” I sald humbly, “No? I didn't think you had!” she anid sarcastically; then changing quickly to her former manner, “Now, Suo, why can't you be sensible?
