   The Outlook, 18 June 1904: ... as pieces of narrative, episodes full of dramatic interest, and incidents significant of character, these stories have unusual excellence. Their author was not a man of letters, but he was a born story-teller, with a quick eye for a strong situation or an effective bit of character; and, with one or two exceptions, the collection is interesting from cover to cover.

# Touch Not the Marble

original title “Ne touchez pas aux Marbres”
Yea, one may love a statue, so it be
 Some subtle dream of Phidias. Tall and still,
 From her bright self to man there may distil
An intimacy — for he comes, and she,
The goddess waits his coming secretly.
 And he forgetteth that her form is chill,
 That her white glances fascinate and kill,
Bound fast before her fair divinity.
She seems to smile, and he, grown bolder, cries:  “Immortal one, a woman, then, art thou?”  A fiery touch is on the marble wan;
Straightway it trembles; thunder shakes the skies, —
 Well knoweth all-indulgent Venus how
 A god's desire may flame the heart of man!

United States Supreme Court
345 U.S. 22
United State v. Kahriger
Argued: Dec. 16, 17, 1952. --- Decided: March 9, 1953
Mr. Justice BLACK, with whom Mr. Justice DOUGLAS concurs, dissenting.
The Fifth Amendment declares that no person 'shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself'. The Court nevertheless here sustains an Act which requires a man to register and confess that he is engaged in the business of gambling. I think this confession can provide a basis to convict him of a federal crime for having gambled before registration without paying a federal tax. 26 U.S.C. (Supp. V) §§ 3285, 3290, 3291, 3294, 26 U.S.C.A. §§ 3285, 3290, 3291, 3294. Whether or not the Act has this effect, I am sure that it creates a squeezing device contrived to put a man in federal prison if he refuses to confess himself into a state prison as a violator of state gambling laws. The coercion of confessions is a common but justly criticized practice of many countries that do not have or live up to a Bill of Rights. But we have a Bill of Rights that condemns coerced confessions, however refined or legalistic may be the technique of extortion. I would hold that this Act violates the Fifth Amendment. See my dissent in Feldman v. United States, 322 U.S. 487, 494-503, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 1085-1089, 88 L.Ed. 1408.

1.

2. Urges the parties concerned to act with the utmost restraint and to continue determined co-operative efforts to achieve the objectives of the Security Council;
3. Extends once more the stationing in Cyprus of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force, established under Security Council resolution 186 (1964), for a further period of six months ending 26 June 1967, in the expectation that by then sufficient progress towards a solution will make possible a withdrawal or substantial reduction of the Force.

# Tusculan Disputations (Yonge)

THE TUSCULAN DISPUTATIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
In the year a.u.c. 708, and the sixty-second year of Cicero's age, his daughter, Tullia, died in childbed; and her loss afflicted Cicero to such a degree that he abandoned all public business, and, leaving the city, retired to Asterra, which was a country house that he had near Antium; where, after a while, he devoted himself to philosophical studies, and, besides other works, he published his Treatise de Finibus, and also this treatise called the Tusculan Disputations, of which Middleton gives this concise description:
"The first book teaches us how to contemn the terrors of death, and to look upon it as a blessing rather than an evil:
"The second, to support pain and affliction with a manly fortitude;
"The third, to appease all our complaints and uneasinesses under the accidents of life;
"The fourth, to moderate all our other passions;
"And the fifth explains the sufficiency of virtue to make men happy."
It was his custom in the opportunities of his leisure to take some friends with him into the country, where, instead of amusing themselves with idle sports or feasts, their diversions were wholly speculative, tending to improve the mind and enlarge the understanding. In this manner he now spent five days at his Tusculan villa in discussing with his friends the several questions just mentioned. For, after employing the mornings in declaiming and rhetorical exercises, they used to retire in the ​afternoon into a gallery, called the Academy, which he had built for the purpose of philosophical conferences, where, after the manner of the Greeks, he held a school, as they called it, and invited the company to call for any subject that they desired to hear explained, which being proposed accordingly by some of the audience became immediately the argument of that day's debate. These five conferences, or dialogues, he collected afterward into writing in the very words and manner in which they really passed; and published them under the title of his Tusculan Disputations, from the name of the villa in which they were held.

# Turton v. Dufief/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
73 U.S. 420
Turton v. Dufief
We do not consider it necessary vindicate our opinion in affirming the charg of the court below, to enter into a discussion of the law of bailment in general from Coggs and Bernard down to this time, or clearly to define the difference between negligence and gross negligence. The evidence clearly esa blishes the fact that the defendant 'did diligently and carefully lend and invest the sum of money intrusted to him on good and sufficient security for the repayment thereof.' It is the gravamen of the charge in the plaintiff's narr. that he did not do so.
The mortgage was a sufficient security without being recorded, and continued to be so for three years. It was in the possession of the plaintiff his wife. The plaintiff himself had it in his possession near four months before the second mortgage was put on record. The neglect to put it on record may more properly be imputed to himself than to the defendant.
We are asked to decide that the gentleman who did Mrs. Fowler the kindness to make the investment for her should have anticipated her negligence, and that also of her husband, and have anticipated the insolvency, also, of the mortgagor, and that he has been guilty of negligence, either simple or gross, which should make him liable in the present action.
We do not take this view of the case, and find no error in the charge of the court.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
The CHIEF JUSTICE did not sit in this case.
