Show A Lawyer' Method of Advising. Among the Lancaster lawyers attending attend-ing the sittings of the supremo court is Henry Clay Brnbaker. When Brubaker was a much younger man be practiced law in Indiana. On one occasion he met the late Vice President Hendricks at the dinner table cf a mutual friend in tho town of Cambridge. Turning to the young reuusylvaniau, the idol of the Hoosier Democrats spoke of his own ear-lier ear-lier days in the Keystone state, and then volunteered this friendly advice; "Young man, as you aro just starting in the practice of the law, let me give you a word of warning. Never write any client a letter of advrje. Let all consultations consul-tations und communications of tluit kind be by wotd of month." It will be remembered I'i tho late Simon Cameron put this idea in another form when he said: "Hather go a hundred hun-dred miles to soo a man than to write him a letter." Philadelphia Inquirer. j |
