These books are used by every legal 
scholar, but to the ordinary practitioner 
do not possess the importance which be- 
longs to a treatise on law written by 
Judge Littleton, in the time of Edward 
the Fourth (1461-1484) and edited by 
word Chief Justice Coke in the reign of 
James the First. ‘1 his last is a remark- 
able book, and one of the best known 
in the profession. “‘ Coke on Littleton’’ 
is to the law of real property, (that is, 
land and houses) what Shakespeare is to 
the English language: it formed and 
crystalized it into what it is. 
Since those early text books authors 
almost innumerable have tried their hand 
at writing about the law. Some of the 
books produced are of the utmost value, 
like those of that great judge and noble 
man, Mr. Justice Story, of the United 
States Supreme Court; others have been 
of small account and have perished with 
their authors. 
A lawyer's life is a studious one, the 
statements he makes to you with so much 
apparent ease, often have cost him hours 
of study and research. He comes to 
love his books. They are his constant 
companions, and a necessary part of his 
professional outfit... 
And this is how it has come to pass 
that there are so many of those buff col- 
ored, leather covered books upon his 
library shelves.

Dec. rations. 
Boston stores have always been noted 
for their Christmas decorations, but the 
display at Shuman corner this year is one 
of the handsomest and most elaborate 
ever planned. ‘The spacious street floor 
has been transformed into a_ display 
bazaar with six novel ‘Dickens 
Booths’’ in green and white decorations 
of laurel festoons and wreaths, bright- 
ened by red ribbon and red Christmas 
bells. Appropriate mottos from Dick- 
ens’ stories are hung about the _ booths, 
fifty six in all, a brilliant electric sign in 
the Washington street entrance invites 
passers-by to “‘Be Merry This Xmas 
Tide, ’’ and the store’s handsome win- 
dows are specially dressed and illumin- 
ated. And in the booths—it would 
crowd a bulky catalog merely to mention 
the pretty and useful things displayed. 
Altogether it is a most unusual display, 
one that will interest every Christmas 
sh pper, and the Santa Claus, who is in 
the midst of it all, will especially interest 
the children.
