JUDGE CHAsE's CROCK" A correspond
ent OF the Cincinnati Chronicle is responsible
for the following story. The incident occurred
during the long-to-be remembered impeach-
ment trial; One cool, dull morning the session
was to open at II M..and it was within twenty
minutes OF that time and the Chief Justice
had not made his appearance in the Vice Presi-
dents room, which, foi the time, was used by
Mr.. Chase as a robirg room. The hands OF
the clock crept slowly but surely nearer the
figures "XII," when suddenly the door was
thrown open and in stalked the Chief Justice.
He walked hurriedly to the wardrobe, but his
robe OF Office wac hot upon its accustomed peg,
nor any peg What was to be done? Pages
were summoned; this, that, and the other
room, desk and drawer were examined, but no
robe was discovered. In the midst of this ex-
element the grim, honest old hero, Ben Wade,
made his appearance, with a nod and erunt to
the fiurried occupants OF the room. He walked
to the hat-rack, and after depositing his hat
went to the sofa ON the olher side of the room,
to leave his umbrella in a sale place. The ex-
citement was still going on when Wade, after
learning the cause of the trouble, without en-
tering iato the furry of the hunt, leaned over
the sofa and with his umbrella hooked up an
uncertain-looking bundle. Seeing it was the
long-looked for robe, he held it toward Mr..
Chase with: Here, Chase, here's yer old
frock you've beeu making such ofa fuss
aboutw The pages smiled smile; the Chief
Justice was toopverjOyed to do anything but
speedily get inside OF his robe; and il on that
morning the heated, crowded audience saw
the Chief Justice look redder than usual they

old man by the name of Lambert diel in Paris
lately at the age of ninety.fve. Although
mere boy when the French Revolution took
place, he was secretary to the public prosecu-
tor and recorder to the Revolutionary Tribu.
nal, positions which he held for three years.
When the reaction of Thermidor took place
he escaped to London andl became account
ant TO firm of brewers. In 1915, when the
allies had restored order he returned to Pars
and took a little house, where he resided un-
till he died. The terrible remeDlbrauces of
the Terror were constantly in his mind, and
it was very difficult to persuade him to relate
episodes of that fearful time. The Revolu-
tlon OF 1S4S threw him into a state of gloomy
sadness from which he could not recover till
the period of the exhibition of 1867, which he
visited. The investment of Paris, the inVa.
sion OF France and the horrors of the present
war again plunged him into an apathy so com
plete that it almost amounted to imbecility.-
He died repeating the words that we've ever
on his lips: "May God save "Francevi

Richardson's New Metho

The undersigned would urge the i'm
portance of more attention to the chill
dren's first teeth, and in doing
L1D would announce to parents OF Port
land and vicinity that he is prepared to give special
attention to the children. The general impression
with parents is that the rst teeth are of little
portance, and they surprised when the mist
recommends filing, brushing, and other means Of
preservation. Every one should know that q dis
eased condition OF the teeth and gums, and pre-
mature loss OF the first teeth, cause contraction OF
the jaw, with which it is impossible to have
healthy and handsome set OF permanent teeth.
. With fiteeu years practical experience in the
profession, I am fully prepared to treat and fill
teeth, or insert artificial teeth am using West
ern's Metal, which for under plates has many ad-
vantages over every other material.
