' 7 IX ON OLD LOVE AND NEW- A Difference In Diamonds See What Can EL PASO HERALD Torothy fj Be Paso Made In El WINDOW OF McCULLOUGH'S SANITARY CONFECTIONARY HOME OF CLEANLINESS AND SANITARINESS HHASKBT ON LEGAL FEDERAL WORK (Continued from previous page.) Wilson tariff law was declared uncon stitutional by tne supreme court. By that decision the court took away from the federal government millions of dol lars in taxes. The suits against the en forcement of the corporation tax pro Tision of the Payne tariff law are an other instance of the character of ac tions of the government, through the department of justice, is called upon to defend. Seldom Appears 1h Court. The attorney general seldom appears in person In court except in cases of great gravity Involving the construc tion of the constitution. He may ap pear iu any court of the federal judi ciary if he desires to do so. His chief assistant is the solicitor general, -who is a sort of flying squadron in the or ganization of the department of jus tice, ready to move on a moment's no tice to the assistance of any other offi cial of the department, or that of any district attorney -who may be in need J of his advice ana counsel. In the ab sence or disability of the attorney gen eral, the solicitor general performs the duties of the head of the department Under directions of the attorney gery eral ue has supervision of all cases be fore the supreme court in which the government is interested. He also as sists his chief In the preparation of opinions for the guidance of the presi dent and the members of his cabinet, and in the directions of the law offi cers of the government throughout the .country. Next in rank In the department Is the assistant to tne attorney general. He is the "chief trust buEter" of the gov ernment and has charge of all suits re lating to the Sherman anti-trust law and tther like legislation. Notable cases that have come under his charg are those of the Standard Oil company end the BeefTrust. In the prosecution of such suits he -works in conjunction with tne district attorneys in the courts -which have jurisdiction over them. There are a number of assistant at torneys general in the departmentThree of these have their offices with the de partment and act under the direction of the attorney general and his chief assistant. Another Is in charge of all suits brought against the government J in the court of claims. This court has been established by congress for the purpose of passing upon the claims of those who have sustained damages at the hands of the army or of any other government agency, and who have no relief in the ordinary channels of court procedure. Congress gives it original jurisdiction over certain kinds of claims, and sends to it, by resolution, other claims which it would have no right to consider except upon - the strength of such resolution. Another looks after claims growing out of dep redations committed by indians who are still under the control of the govern ment. Attorney for Interior Department. Inv addition to these officials there is an assistant attorney general for the interior department. As that depart ment deals with all Indian affairs and public land questions, both of which in volve a great many fiie points of law, this officer is a busy man. Tne sec retary of the interior and his assistants are guided by him in the -legal aspects of their work. The solicitor for the state department is an authority upon questions of municipal and internation al aw. When a citizen of the United States has a claim against a foreign government, growing out of such things as the deprivation of property abroad or failure to recognize his rights as an American citizen, his case is stud ied by the solicitor, and tne secretary of state acts in accordance with the descant on Jim. He says it is a mys tery to him why some man with ordi nary common sense never comes to see me, and that before he would have the house filled up with twang ing, mandolin playing idiots, with hair bwub j.cu juve a, jjiate or com siaw i tiHii iihmii omnriort j-s 4-i.n. uAMrin w One is that your mother lias- oeen -----" "" wct !U,r uua, so to ' " liicaiuiBs mai iooh.ea iiKe .oow- An- . ery tougns, tnat he would be an old fefcTPVE just made an interesting dis- 1 covery," said the jolly looking girl with the twinkle in her eye, "and it's this that your father is much easier to confide in than your mother.

"It accidentally happened that going through an old trunk in the garret 3 had come across a bundle of old letters that papa had written mamma before they were married. So one night, when papa came home, I was discovered in the library with two or three of these billet doux in my hands. I affected to be much embarrassed and to hide them. findings of that official.

It is a common enough American experience, and as it gener ally ends so well, I don't see why Amer ican nafents should be so violently op posed to seeing their children try it. They are, however, and my father had left me no doubt of his sentiments on this subject. "So when I confided to papa the other day that Billy Hawkins; who hasn't a penny to bless himself with, had asked me to marry him, I was prepared for Dad having a fit of apo plexy. . ""Asked you to marry ham? Well, of all the nerve! Why, he's got nothing on earth, not even a good job,' cried out wrathfully my irate parent. " "He would have me,' I suggested. " 'Two beggars,' snorted papa. " "We could work I said. "'Work: howled papa. "Work.

" 'Oh, we were different,' he mutter ed, and then he asked me what, on earth I had done with the evening paper, and said It was a hard thing that a man couldn't lay a paper dowr in his own house and find it again without the aid of a search warrant.

"'Why, papa, I said, 'I think that Is just too sweet for anything. Listen to this It is only about twelve Tages about that little cold I had when I wag kept In the house two days.'
