GENTLEMAN OR FooL.-A story ID
told of Chief Justice Marshall that,
on returning from North Carolina, in
tent on some nice point Of law, he
found himself suddenly brought to 3
halt by small tree which interviewed
between the front wheel and the body
Of his buggy. Seeing servant. he
asked him to bring him an Ak and
cut down the tree. The servant told
him that was not necessary, but simp-
ly to back his buggy. Pleased at the
good sense Of the darby, he told him
that he would leave him something at
the inn close by. where he intended
stopping, having then no small change
about him. In due time the servant
applied and dollar was handed him.
Being asked if he knew who it was
that gave him the money. he replied !:
mo, cir. I concluded he was gen.
tleman by his leaving the dollar; but
think he was the biggest fool ever
saw"
Rufus Choate, the great Massachu.
setts advocate, and Judge Shaw. of
the same State, were famous for their
brilliant tongue combats. in which
wit flashed like the play of tighten
ing in a summer storm. Choate was
once arguing case before Shaw. (who
was the homeliest man on tina bench,
and to express his respect for the con-
coded ability of the Judge. said, in
yielding toan adverse decision: "In
coming into the presence of your hon.
or. ] experience the same feelings as
the Hindoo when he bows his head
before his idol. ! know that you are
ugly, but / feel that you are great"
The bar laughed outright and the
Judge lost his dignity and joined in
the merrimens. which was at his own
expense.

A RETAILER fEST1FIES-
KANSAS CITY. No. Sept IF. II.
Brice. q butcher, was examined by the
Senatorial meat investigating committee
yesterday and proved . most interesting
witness. He corroborated Mr.. Armour in
the statement that the determination OF
the people to eat only the dne cuts Of beef
was the cause Of 10 apparent reduction In
the price of meat at the block.
Mr.. Brice has been . hatcher for thirty
years He said twenty yea ago he
got more for round steak han for loin.
The people. he said. had been educated
to eat the better class of meat
by the packing houses. 1t had been
brought about by the packers trim
ming the dne parts Of the beef
closer and closer. thus giving the people
only the very choicest OF meat.
These trimmings the packers. he said,
used to can and barrel and this line Of
beef had been profitable, but he did not
know what the price was O n this class OF
product Before the packing houses did
this, the parts of beef termed fine cuts
weighed double what they do now.
Mr.. Brice said there were from go to SOC
butchers in Kansas City. There was .
sort of . butchers association. H. be-
loneed, but took no active part. Tnis As.
ISOLATION had nothing to do with fixing
the prices of beef. He said but few Of the
butchers kne their business and none Of
them were making money. There wal but
one butcher in the city who killed his own
beef. The reason for this, he said. was
the fact that it was cheaper for the
butchers to buy the dressed beef Mr..
Brice was positive that the retail price OF
beef would be higher il the butchers had
to do their own killing. The butchers
could buy the live cattle for the same price
as the packers but the packers
could kill much cheaper. He be.
lieved the packing houses were q
benefit to the people and we're not the
consumers so particular about the quality
OF meat eaten. the price would be lower.
Mr.. Brice said he did not believe the
packers were making more than q fair
profit He said he knew Of no mean
used by the packers to compel
butchers to buy the dressed beef
Butchers bought it because they knew
it was cheaper han for them to kill for
themselves. Every packer. be said, re-
tailed meat at his place Of business, bat
that WAS the only attempt at butcher
