er of their mcm"ryl is Of such character that
neither OF them would be likely TO appreciate it,
If living. He informs us that Col. Mcllunry,
merely from the fact that ne had been member
OF Il certain constitutional convention, took 1t
into his head that he knew more about the con-
stitutiOn Of the laws there framed than Mr. Scott
who was universally acknowledged to be one of
the very best lawyers in the state, and that he,
the Colonel, was SO certain OF his position that
he not only challenged that veteran Of the bar
TO bet OF $500 on the point a. issue between
them, but "detantly pressed 1t on him ana So
aggravated him that he was compelled to accept
the wager in order to defend his views" Now,
If that is complimentary TO Col. McHenry, ethCr
as to manners, mOdcsty or mental Calibre, tail

A Volume in a Paragraph.

''What is the Object Of Life?" is
the question asked by Professor G.
J. Romanes in the Forum. A
hippant paragrapher gives this an
swer: ''One of: the chief objects is
to live poor and die rich, that those
who come after you may live rioh
and die poor"
1t is an ugly way of putting it,
but the paragrapher made his cut
ting little sentence speak volumes,
One reason why Americans break
down shortly after middle age is
because they olive poor'' in more
ways than one. They may enjoy
many of the luxuries of life, but
their business is largely made up
Of hurry and worry,
1t does not pay. Men should en-
10Y their full share of the sweets OF
existence as they 60 along. They
are not bound to make themselves
miserable on account of posterity.
1t is a commendable thing for a
man to strive to leave a compe-
tency to his family, but an ambition
to accumulate an immense fortune
for his heirs is a very different
matter.
