Show Prond Two Times. New York Sun. "Only twice," said a well-known lawyer law-yer the other day, "have I really been proud. The first time was years ago in court. I'd been admitted, and had had charge of the preparation of an important import-ant suit. The jury brought in a verdict for our side, and I felt happy. But after I had collected the papers and books, and was going out, my chief, who was one of the lights of the bar in those days, put his hand on my shoulder shoul-der and 'said, 'You prepared that caso well, my boy; if it hadn't been for you we'd have been beaten.' And I knew it was so, for he'd come back from Washington Wash-ington only that morning and had had to depend "entirely on my work. And the second time 1 felt proud was when my married sister came into my library early one afternoon and said, in a half whisper, 'It's a boy.'" |
