The New Supreme Court Justice.

A good story was current about Judge Jack
son at the time he was presiding the trial
Of the Fidelity Bank case in Cincinnati. Many
years previous. when he was vice president OF
a bank in Tennessee, a run was set in against
the institution from causes not now revealed
As the bank closed its doors the run almost as
sumed the PROPORTION of riot. and a great
crowd. having about 1t the elements of mob,
gathered in front of the building threatening
violence. Judge jackson was hastily sent for,
addressed the excited throng from the balcony
of a window. assured the men there was no
ground for alarm. that the bank was perfectly
solvent and that they would get every cent of
their deposits rapidly it possible to
pay them over in banking hours.
.'Who saws that" shouted the leader Of the
crowd. us it the vice president Of the bank
who saws it or is il Howell f. Jackson
1T is Howell y. Jackson who says it," was
the ringing reply.
That's all right, bows" answered the ring
leader; ''thatll do. We can go home now"
And home they went. Confidence was re-
stored and the bank continued to flourish as Of
old.

Ages of Political Leaders.

Gen. Washingtons first cabinet IL said to
have been the youngest all told, in the history
Of the country. Jefferson was forty-six, Ham,
ilton thirty-two, Randolph thirty-six, Knox
thirty-nine and Osgood forty-ons at the time OF
their induction into Office. A cabinet whose
members averaged less than thirty-nine years
in age would be considered a very re-
markable one today, and a hazardous one as
well. and it is doubtful il any President would
care to take upon himself the burden of adverse
criticism sure to follow the appointment Of SC
