TALMAGE'S SERMON ON THE HEN AND CHICKENS. Wliy ( I. list S. Uftf.l llie llomtly Compari Sfin Some l amiliar Storif The AVorl.l Is Just What We Make It A Great Ke sponsiliilily. DitoOKLYN. Fvh. 'Jil.-rn vious to the sermon in the Brooklyn TalHTiiacle this inoruiii liev. Dr. falma.o, in giving out a uuinhcr of notiirs. dwelt upon the fact that certain picture uftnkers of Drooklyn had use.1 Iris name as a refer ence in" their ailvertis nieiits and circu lars without his authority. Thousands Of letters of complaint have x-imuo to him in this respect, and ho wanted it distinct ly understood that he knew nothing of these people or their hnsinoss methods. The text eleetcd for the inornincr sermon was Matthew xxiii. :!7, "As a hen yatli ereth her chickens under her winys, and -e would not." Jerusalem was in siht as Christ came to to. the crest of Mount Olivet, a hekrht of 700 feet. The splendors of the reli gious capital of the whole earth irradi ated the landscape. There is the tem ple. Yonder is the king's palace. Spread out U foiv his eyes afj the pomp, the wealth, the wickedness and the com ing destruction of .Jerusalem, and he bursts into tears at the thought of the obduracy of a place that he would gladly have saved, and apostrophizes, raying, "O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, how oft Ln would 1 have gathered thy children to gether, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and yo would not." Why did Christ select hen and chick ens as a simile? Next to tho apposito ness of the comparison 1 think it was to help all public teachers in the matter of illustration to get down off their stilts and use comparisons that all can under stand. The plainest bird on earth is. the barnyard fowl. Itsen'.y adornments are the red comb in its headdress and the wattles under the throat. It has no grandeur of genealogy. All wo know is that its ancestors came from Irv.'.ia. some of them from a height of 4,00C feet on the sides of the Himrtlayas. ll has no pretension of nest like the eagle's eyrie. It has no luster of plumage likis tiio gold finch. Possessing anatomy that allows flight, yet about the la-t thing ic wants to do is to fly, and in retreat uses foot almost as much as wi: Musicians have wri scale the song of 1. breast and uightiuga my text hath nothing for a song, but onlv i n nut in musical rk mill roLin ml- , yet the hen vf !iat fonkl bot'akcu .luck aiu'l cacklo. Yet Christ in the text uttered, while looking upon doomed .! rusah m, declares i that wha lie had wished for that city i was like what the hen d--s for herehick I ens. Christ was thus simple in his teach- ings, and yet how hard it is for us, who I are Sunday school instructors and editors ! and preachers and r- irmers, and those I who would gain the ears of audiences, ' to attain that heavenly and divine art of i simplicity. j We have to rut! a coarse of literary disorders as children a course of phys ical disorders. We come out of school iand college loaded dwn with Greek i mythologies and out -f the theological 'seminary weighed down with what the j learned fathers said., and we fly with j wings of eagles and tlammg'X-s and alba i trosses, and it takes a goo.l while before j we can come down to Christ's simiii- tudes, the candle uud'T the bushel, the j salt that has l..-t its savor, the net j thrown into the sea. the spittle on the eyes of the blind man and the hen and chickens. Then,- is not lnu.-ii j.octry about this winged creature of ("d mentioned iu my text, but i-ho is m. ire practical and more motherly and iu.re. suggestive of good things than many that fly higher and wear brighter cel. ts. She is not a prima donna of the skies nor a ttrut of beauty in the ai-le of the forest. She does not cut a circle under the sun like the Rocky mountain eagle, Jjut stays at home to look after family affairs. She does not swoop like the condor of the Cordilleras to transport a rabbit from the valley to the top of the crags. lm just scratches for a living. How vigor onsly with her claws sh pulls away the ground to bring up what is hidden be neath! When the br.-akfast or dining hour arrives, she I" 'ins to prepare the repast and calls all h r young to partake. L'xni'.i: oi.D I".mim k's wixos. I am in sympathy with the unpreten tious old fashioned hen. because, like most of us, s!ie has to .-cratch for a liv ing. She knows at the ft art the lesson which most people of good sense are slow to learn that the training of a live lihood implies work, and that successes do not lie on the s,.rfae,-, i,nt are to be upturned by positive- and continuous ef fort. The reason that society, ami the church, and the world ere- so full of fail ures, so full of loafers, so fun of dead beats, is because pe.pl.. are not wise enough to take the h on which any hen would teach th.-m t h:,t if they would find for themselves and for those de pendent upon them anything worth hav ing they must scratch f, y it. Solomon said. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard." I say, ,, to the hen. thou sluggard " In the Old Testament God compares himself to an ea- !c stirring up her nett, and in the New Testament the Holy Spirit is compared to a descending dove, but Christ, in a sermon that begins with cutting sarcasm f.,r hypocrites and ends with the paroxysm of' pathos in the text, compares himself to ;l h,.u. One day in the country we saw sud den consternation iu tin; behavior of old Doniinick. Why the hen should be so disturbed we could not understand. We looked about to see if a neighbor's dog were invading the farm. We looked up to see if a stormcloud were hovering. We could see nothing on the ground that could terrorize, and we could see nothing in the air to ruffle the feat hers of the hen, but the loud, wild, affrighted cluck which brought all her brood at full run under her feathers ma.de us look again around as and above us, when we saw that high jp ami far away there was a rapacious 3ird wheeling round and round, and down and down, and not seeing ns as we stood in tho shadow it came nearer and lower until we saw its beak was curved from base to tip. and it had two flames of fire for eye,, ilw it was a hawk. But all the chickens were under old Domimck s wing, and either the bird of prey caught a glimpse of us, or not able to find the brood huddled under wing darted back into the clouds. So Christ calls with great earnestness to the young. Why, what is the mat ter? It is bright sunlight, and there can be no danger. Health is theirs. A good home is theirs. Plenty of foil i.s theirs. Prospect of long life is theirs, lint Christ continues to call, calls with more em phasis and urges haste and says not a second ought to be lost. ,Oh, do tell us what is tho matter! Ah, now 1 see. There are hawks of temptation in the air; there are vultures wheeling for their pre-; there are beaks of death ready to plunge; there are claws of allurement ready to clutch. Now I see tho peril. Now I understand the urgency. Now I see tho only safety. . Would that Christ might this day take our sons and daughters into his shelter, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing." The fact is that the most of them will never find tho shelter unless while they are chickens. It is a uiuiole matter of inexorable statistics that most of those who do not come to Christ in youth never come at all. Wh..t chance is there for the young without divine protection? There are the grog shops. There are the gambling lu lls. There are the infideli ties and immoralities of spiritualism. There are bad books. There are the im purities. There are the business rascali- ' ties. And so numerous are these assai!- ments that it is a wonder that honesty and virtue r.re not lost arts, j Tho birds of prey, diurnal and noctur i nrd, of the natural world are ever on ! the :ihrt. They are the assassins of the sky. They have varieties of taste. The I eagle prefers the flesh of tho living ani i r.nil. The vulture prefers the carcass. I The falcon kills with one stroke, while other styles of beak give prolongation of . torture. And so the temptations of this ! life are various. Some make quick work of death, and others agonize the mind mid bodv for manv years, and some like the living bleod of great souls, and others prefer thosonlready gangrened. But for every style of youth there is a swooping w ing and a sharp beak and a cruel claw, and what the rising generation needs is a wing of protection. KAKLY PALVATIOS fKGED. Fathers, mothers, older brothers and sisters and Sabbath school teachers, be quick and caruist and prayerful and importunate- and get the chickens under wing. May the Sabbath schools of Amer ica and Great Britain within the next three months sweep all their scholars into the kingdom. Whom they have now undir charge is uncertain. Con cerning that scrawny, puny child that lay in th" cradle many years ago, the father de . many remarked, "What a mercy if the Lord would take the child!" and the mother really thought so too. But what a good thing that God spared that chihl. for it became world renowned in Christian literature and one of God's most illustrious servants John Todd. Beinember. your children will remain children only a little while. What yon do for them as children yon must do quickly or never do at all. "Why have you never v itten a book";" said some one to a talent i 1 woman. She replied: "I am writing two and have been engaged on one work 10 years and on the other live years my two children. They are my life work." When the house of John Wesley's father burned, and they got the eight children out. John Wesley the last before the roof fell in, the father said: "Let us kneel down and thank God. The children are all saved: let the rest of the place go." My hearers, if we secure the pre sent and everlasting welfare of our children, most other things belonging to us aie of but little comparative importance. Alex ander the Great allowed his soldiers to take their families with them to war, and he accounted for the bravery of his I men by the fact that many of them were ; born in camp and were use d to warlike ; scenes from the start. Would God that j all the children of our day might be born j into the army of the Lord! No, need of letting them go a long way on the i wrong road before they turnaround ami ; go o:i the right road. The only time to i get chickens under wing is while the j are chickens. ; Hannah Whitall Smith, the evangelist, j took her little chihl at i! years of age I when ill out of the crib and told her ; plainly of Christ, and the child beiieved j ! and gave evidence of joyful tru-t, which ! grew with her growth into womanhood, i I Two years are i:ot too young. The time : ! will come when by the faith of parents i ! children will be born into this world and I IwrtTi into the bosom of Christ at the same ! ! time. Soon we parents will have to go j f and leave our children. We tight their j battles now. and we stand between them ; and harm, but our arm will after awhile I get weak, and we cannot tight for them, j and our tongue will be palsied, and we ', cannot sjHak fur them. Are we going; ! to leave them out in the cold world to ' i take their chances, or are we deing all ' ! we can to get them under the wing of j eternal safety'; i SlIKLUti; 1- lleeM UlTs TEMPESTS. But we all need the protecting whig, j If you had known when you entered upon tnauhood and womanhood what was; ahead of ymi. would you have dared to undertake life"; How much you have been through! With most lite lias been I a disappointment: they tell me so. They have not attained that which they ex pected to attain. They have not had the physical and mental vigor they expected, ' or they have met with rebuff's which they : did not anticipate. You are not at -10 or iO or ftO or ') or 0 years of age where you thought yon would be. I do not know any one except myse lf to whom life has been a happy surprise. I never ex pected anything, and so when anything came in the shape of human favor or comfortable position or widening tieM of work it was to me a surprise. I was told in the theological seminary by some of my fellow students that I j never would g,t anybody to hear me preaeh unless I changed my ptyle, so that when I found that some people did come to hear me it was a happy surprise. But moi t people, according to their own statement, have found life a disappoint ment. Indeed we ail need shelter from its tempests. About :J o'clock on a hot August afternoon you have heard a rum ble that you first took for a wagon cross ing a bridge, but afterward there was a louder rumbling, and you said, "Why, that is thunder!" And sure enough the clouds were being convoked for a full diapason. A whole park of artillery went rolling down tin; heavens, and the blinds of the windows in the sky were closed. But the sounds above w ere not more certain than the sounds beneath. The cattle ctune to the bars and moaned for them to be let down that they might come home to shelter, and the fowl, whether dark Brahma or Ilr.mburg or Leghorn or Doniinick', began to call to its young, "Cluck!" "Cluck!" ' Cluck!" and take them under the1 wagon house or shed, and had them all hid under the soft feathers by the time that the first plash of rain struck the roof. So there are sudden tempests for our souls, and, oh! how dark it gets.and threat ening clouds of bankruptcy or sickness or persecution or bereavement gather and thicken and blacken, and some run for shelter to a bank 'but it is ioor shelter, and others run to friendly advisers, and they fail to help, and others fly nowhere simply because they know not where to go, and they perish iu the blast, but others hear a divine call saying, "Come, for all things are now ready." "The spirit and the bride say come." And while tho heavens are thundering terror the divine voice proffers mercy, Tind tho soul conies under the brooding care of the Almighty "as a hen gathereth her chickens under Iht wing." DAXliER OP ICY roiiMALITY. The wings of my text suggest warmth, and that is what most folks want. The fact is that this is a cold world whether you take it literally or figuratively. We have a bigfireplace called the snn, audit has a very hot fire, and the stokers keep the coals well stirred up, but much of the year we cannot get near enough to thisllreplace to get wanned. The world's extremities are cold all the time. Forget j not that it is colder at the south pole ! than at the north pole, and that tho Are-1 tic is not so destructive as the Antarctic. ! Onco in awhile tho Arctic will let ex-I plorers come back, but the Antarctic hardly ever. When at tho south pole a ! ship sails in, the door of ice is almost sure j to be shut against its return. I So life to many millions of people at j the south and many millions of people at the north is a prolonged shiver, but when I say that this js a cold world 1 chiefly mean figuratively. If you want to know" what i.s the meaning of the ordi nary term of receiving the "cold shoul der," get out of money and try to bor row. The conversation mayhae been almost tropical for luxuriance of thought and speech, but suggest your necessities and see the rhermoineter drop to fiO de grees below zero, and in that which till a moment before had been a warm room. Take what is an unpopular iosition on some public question and see your friends fly as chaff before a windmill. As far as myself is concerned, I have no word of complaint, but I hxk off day by day and see communities freezing out men and women of whom the world is not worthy. Now it takes after one and now after another. It Incomes popular to depreciate and defame and execrate and lie about some people. This is the best world I ever got into, but it is the mean est world that some people ever got into. The worst thing that ever hastened to them was their cradle, and the best thing that will ever happen to them will be their grave. What people want is warmth. Many years ago a man was floating down on the ice of the Merrimac, and great efforts were made to rescue him Twice lie got hold of a plauk thrown to him and twice he slipped away from it, because that end of the plank was cov ered with ice. and he cried out, "For God's sake, give me the woolen end of the plank this time." and this done he was hauled to shore. The trouble is that in our efforts to save the soul there is too much coldness and icy formality, and so the iniporih'il one slips off ana floats down. Give it the other end of the plank warmth of sympathy, warmth of kindly association, warmth of genial sur roundings. Tho world declines to give it, and iu many cases has no power to give it, and here is where Christ conit-s in, and, as on a cold day, the rain" beating and the at mosphere full of sleet, the hen clucks her chickens under her wings, and the warmth of her own breast puts warmth into the wet foathtTs and the chilled feet of the infant group of the barnyard, so Christ says to those sick ami frosted and disgusted and frozen of the world, Come in out of the March winds of the world's criticism; come in out of the sleet of the world's assault; come in out of a world that does not understand, you and does not want to understand yon; I will com fort and I will soothe and I will be your warmth, "as a hen gathereth her chick ens under her wing." Oh, the warm heart of Cod is ready for all those to whom the world has given the cold shoulder. SACUirifE INTO IT.ATH. But notice that some one must take the istorm for the chickens. Ah! the hen takes the storm. I have watched her under the pelting rain. I have seen her in the pinching frosts almost frozen to death or almost strangled in the waters, and what a light she makes for the young under wing if a dog or a hawk or a man comes too near! And so the brooding Christ takes the storm for us. What flood of anguish and tears that did npt dash upon his holy soul! What beak of torture did not pierce his vitals! What barking Cerberus of lu ll was not let out upon him from the hennels! YVliat he ernhireil. oh, v ho ran tell. To : jive our i.uls from dcatli anil hell! Y'es, the heii took the storm for the chickens, and Christ takes the storm for us. Once tie- tempest rose so suddenly the hen could not get with her young back frona the new ground to the barn, Xiiid th'TO she is under the fence half dead. Ai.d now the rain turns to 6now, and it is an awful night, and in the morn ing the whiteness about the gills and the beak down in the mud show that the mother is dead, and the young ones come out and cannot undeitand why the Mother does not scratch for them some thing to eat. and they walk over her wings and call with their tiny voices, but there is no answering cluck. She took the storm for others and jierished. Poor thing! Self sacrificing even unto death! And does it not mako you think of him who endured all for us'; So the wings under which we come fir spiritual safety are blood .- j atten d wings, are night shat tered wings, are tempest torn wings. In the Isle of Wight I saw the grave of Princess Elizabeth, who died while a prisoner at Carisbrook ca.-tle, her fingei s ;t an open Bible and pointing to the words, "Come unto me all ye that laboi and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Oh, come under the wings! But now the summt r day is almost pas.-ed, and the shadows of tho house and barn and wagon shed have length ened. The farmer, with scythe or hoe on shoulder, is returning from the fields. The oxen are unyoked. The horses are crunching the oats at the full bin. The air is bewitched of honeysuckle and wild brier. The milkman, pail in hand, is approaching the barnyard. The fowls, keeping early hours, are collecting their young, "Cluck!" "Cluck!' "Cluck!" and soon all the eyes of that feathered nursery are closed. The bachelors of the winged tribe have ascended to their perch, but the hens, in a mothirhood divinely appointed, take all the risk of a slumber on tho ground, and all night long the wings will stay outspread, and the little ones will not utter a sound. Thus at sundown, lov ingly, sably, completely, tho hen broods her young. So, if we are the Lord's, the evening of our life will come. The heats of the day will have passed. There will ho shadows, and we cannot see as far. The work of life will be about ended. The hawks of temptation that hovered in the sky will have gone to the woods and folded their wings. Sweet silences will come down. The air wiil be redo lent with the breath of whole arbors of promises sweeter than jasmine or even ing primrose. The air maybe a little chill, but Christ will call us", and we will know the voice and heed the call, and we will come under the wings for the night the strong wings, the soft wings, the warm wings and without fear and in full sense of safety, ami then we will rest from sundown to sunrise, "as a hen gathereth her c hickens under her wing." Dear me, how many souls the Lord hath thus brooded! Mothers, after watching over sick cra dles and then watching afterward over wayward sons and daughters, at last themselves taken care of by a motherly God. Business men, after a lifetime struggling with tho uncertainties of money markets, and the change of tariffs, and the underselling of men who be cause of their dishonesties can afford to undersell, and years of disappointment and struggle, at last under wings where nothing can perturb them any more than a bird of prey which is 10 miles off dis turbs a chick at midnight brooded in a barnyard. TKUST1XU IN DIVINE SHELTER. My text has its strongest application for people who were born in the country, wherever you may now live, and that is the majority of you. You cannot hear my text without having all the rustic scenes of the old farmhouse come back to you. Ciood old days they were. Yon knew nothing much of the world, for you had not seen the world. By law of association you cannot recall the brooding hen and her chickens with out see ing also tho barn, and the hay mow, and the wagon shed, and the house, and the room where you played, an-1 the fireside with the big backlog before which yon 6at, and the neighbors, and the burial, and the wedding, and the deep snowbanks, and hear the vil lage bell that called you to worship, and seeing the horses which, after "pulling you to church, stood around the old clap boarded meeting house, and those who sat at either end of the church pew, and indeed all the scenes of the first 14 years, and you think of what you were then and of what you are now, and all these thoughts are aroused by the sight of the old hencoop. Some of you had better go back and start again. In thought return to that place and hear the cluck and see the outspread feathers and come under the wing and make the Lord your portion and shelter and warmth, preparing for everything that may come, and so avoid being classed among those described by the closing words of my text, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing, and ye would not." Ah, that throws the responsibility upon us! "Ye would not." Alas, for the "would nots!" II the wandering broods of the farm heed not their mother's call and risk the hawk and dare the freshet and expose themselves to the frost and storm, sure ly their calamities are not their moth er's fault. "Ye would not!" God would, but how many would not! When a good man asked a young wom an who had abandoned her home and who was deploring her wretchedness why she did not return, the reply was: "I dare not go home. My father is so provoked he would not receive me home." "Then,'' 6aid the Christian man, "I will test this.' And so he wrote to the father, and the reply came back and in a letter marked outside "Immediate," and inside saying, -Let her come at once; all is forgiven." So God's invitation for you is marked "Immediate" on the outside, and inside it is written, "He will abundantly pardon." Oh, ye wanderers from God and hap piness and home and heaven, come under the sheltering wing. Under this call I see you turning from your old way to the new way, the living way, the gospel way. A vessel in the Bristol channel was nearing the rocks called the "Steep Holmes.' - Under the temiest the vessel was unmanageable, and the only liojie was that the tide would change before she struck the rocks and and went down, and so the captain stood on the deck, watch in hand. Captain and crew and passengers were pallid with terror. Tak ing another look at his watch and an other look at the sea he shouted: "ThanL God, we are saved! The tide has turnedl One minute more and we would have struck the rocks." Some of you have been a long while drifting in the tenqst of sin and sor row and have be'n making for the break ers. Thank God, the tide has turned. Do yon not feel the lift of the billow? Tho grace of God that bringeth salva tion has appeared to your soul, and in the words of Boaz to liuth I commend you to "the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust."

It is an old saying that "there i noth ing certain iu the world but death and taxes." huM didn't know that both of these alllictions came together. They don't in Georgia and oiieof the comforts of dying is to get rid of taxes but it seems that iu some of the states and in many foreign countries, the biggest tax of all is the death tax. Many of the states have had an inheritance tax for fifty years but it didn't apply to child ren. It affected collateral kindred only legacies had to pay it. and all heirs who were not children 'of the deceased. But of late years this death dutv this pen alty for dying, has taken hold of all es tates worth over $10,000 and the gov ern liients takes the first slice. This law is onlv two years old in New York. Mas sachusetts and Maryland, so far as childern are concerned, and it has not been heavy on collateral heirs. A. T. Stewart's estate paid only $:i(io.otio. The estate of Mrs. Lenox paid (MI.OIHI but if there had been children, no tax would have been paid. But now Jay Gould's estate has had to pay nearly a million under the new law and there is a big fuss over it among the lawyers and some of the prachers. Some of them say it is right and some say it is an outrage on human rights. In Eng land and France and Germany and Aus tralia and Canada this inheritance tax varies from 1 to 15 er cent on all tho estate in excess of $100,000. The idea seems to be that the deceased got that excess without actually working for it. It was interest upon interest or by speculation or good luck and all the time he hail the protection of the gov- , , i ii,, ,iii, in inn, , .isi-S IMIl Ol ICH, ,.,...;i- ......... i. ..i.. ..i .i m.-. jiiiiiur. ,,,-n- s rman rises losses and now that he w as dead, his heirs must pour some of it back in the jug. They didn't work for it and can well afford to let the state to take a slice for the long years of protection their father had. Perhaps, that father, like Jay Gould, began the world with nothing and the childern would have no right to complain if the state allow ed them $100,000 apiece and took all the rest. This would be more than liberal w here there are no children, for in the case of A. T. Stewart, Judge Hilton gobbled it all up ami he was no kin to Stewart. Sometimes every remote kindred get the estate because that is the law and that is the reason 1 have been prospect ing for thirty years to get my w ife's share of that 200,000.000 of pounds that Sir Williams Holt left in the Bank of England. The prospect is mortal dim but there is some comfort in believing that it is there and is still drawing in" terest like my confederate bonds. But the question of how much shall a man be allowed to accumulate and keep is looming up and will have to be settled before long by American people. For the safety of the republic there w ill have to lie a limitation of some sort. John Stew art Mill says it w ill have to be done. Andrew Carnegie says the state ought to take one-half of all that a millionaire leaves Ix hind him and this law would force him to divide out be fore he died and induce him to make his gifts to public charities and colleges while in life, like Rockefeller and Arm our are doing now and like Peter Cooper and lValiodv and others (lid do. The Illinois Bar Association has de clared in favor of limitation upon wealth and Mr. Stead says the time is near at hand w hen the children's in heritance w ill be limited to a sum that will give each an income of $100,000 and no more. It would take about $.". OHO.OOU to do that at 3 1-2 ier cent. That law would give Jav Gould's child ren 1-.',HNI.(MMI w hich is enough I reckon to support them. The other (M.(K. OIIO would go to the stat for hospitals and liomes for the jioor and the unfor tunate. But if that had been the law. Jay Gould would hae divided his pro KTty long ago and so dodged lie- law or else he would haw done some big thing with it that would lent given him a better obituary than he gol. A much better law than Mr. Stead's would be a graduated lax not only on inheritances, but on accumulations made during lit If Mr. Gould with (t.O(l(),(HHI call buy up judges and leg islature, as he boasts that he did. what could he not do with JftpHI.OOO.OOII or $! ,iHN),ooor What could a combine of twentv men do whose holdings ag gregated $l.lHKMNK,(KMr If combines of a few millions can wivck a great railroad syst.

There must be some limitation upon wealth The joint estate of the Astors is estim ated at i'.'.Vi.ooo.iKKI and most of it is in real estate iu the city of New Yolk. Their chief income is from rents and they can make the rents exhorbitant if they choose and defy competition. Itockefeller comforts his conscience with his gifts but much of his profits came from the w -recks of competing companies that he curshed out of ex istence. If a man is making Slu.iMHI.

The methods of w h'u-h these colossal fortunes are made is a bad example to the rising generation.

I saw in a paper yesterday that a woman, w ho had a case in court agaiu-t a railroad, tes tified that ten lawyers came to see her! to get her ease before the do-tor got there. The lawyers beat the doctor to ; the tank. And this kind of practie.i; seems to be professional in Atlanta and it is spreading even to our country: towns. And yet the lawyers are the top of society.
