A small army united in the authority of a wise commander can defeat the largest army on earth if it be divided through every officer doing as he pleases or as he thinks best.

"He has the dauntless heart of his mother," murmured the Abbe, gracefully, as he ran round the table setting the chairs in order.

"Never mind," he replied, "Lambert will fetch his rifle and hunt for it; and, I say, Cora, ask Elsie to explain how shingles are put on. She knows all about it." He kissed his hand as he turned the corner of the house, and rowed away. A dark shadow falling over him at the moment caused him to turn round, and there, to his amazement, stood one of his father's largest barns!
In the largest ones it is not uncommon to assign every case on the docket, in advance of the argument, to a particular judge.
