His Undivided Attention.'. He must expect If he atta'ins success that he must put aside every other vocation and give his undivided attenuation atten-uation to his profession.- He must also . expect that for the first few years of practice the remuneration will be very moderate. If a young? man Is properly proper-ly prepared to enter upon a profession and can make up his mind to meet all of these difficulties and fulfill all of these requirements there Is no reason why he should not enter the legal profession, pro-fession, and If he do actually give his undivided attention, is industrious and a student, there is no reason why he should not succeed, and I Bhould say t In such case that his prospects for success would be good. I should be very lotb indeed to advise any young man to enter upon the ' practice of law. There are so many avenues open to educated. Intelligent and Industrious young men.

Some veteran lawyers tell tf the days when a young lawyer. could hang out his-flaming shingle, establish a lordly office, and then get business. Cannot Depend oa Shingle. JBut the lawyer of today cannot de-rend de-rend on the big shingle. Times have changed tirice the old days, and it is merit that counts now. This is-also an age of specialization, and the young ' lawyer who would reach the top must specialize. He must fit himself well in .. eae. branch and then it is work and perseverance per-severance that bring? his reward.
