Mixed Metaphors.

A mixed metaphor story was told by the late A. M. Sullivan. When he was be- ginning his practice in Ireland ho was present at case where small farmer brought an action against a neighbor for alleged malversation of three bullocks. Counsel, well known member of the cir. cult, concluded his speech by saying, "Gentlemen of the jury, it will be for you to say whether this defendant shall be al- lowed to come into court with unblushing footsteps, with the cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth, and draw three bullocks out of my clients pockets with impunity.

complete maturity; in his Virginia boy
hood the Alleghanies were the western
limits of anyt thing that could be called an
advanced civilization, but Columbus, O.,
home Of his latter years, is far east Of the
center of population.
When he emigrated to Ohio it was on
the border of the far West; when he en-
tered the United States senate he was ac-
counted rather as q representative Of the
East. His first political lessons were from
the living jefferson and Madison; he wit
messed the phenomenal growth Of Jack
son; outlived the Ii presidents who sue
ceeded him, and took the leading part in
reconstructing the old party and impress
ing its doctrines upon the third genera
ton.
He was born Nov 13, 1878, in Lynch
burg, Va, his father being q minister of
the Methodist church and his mother the
only daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Allen
His mothers half brother, William Allen,
was great figure in early Ohio politics
and his title of the "Old Roman" de-
seconded upon his nephew. Allen G. Thur

Leaving the academy atiS. he served
for short time as an assistant in land

uncle. and a. II became private secretary
to Governor r bert Lucas, who was,
according to old Ohioans, excessively
industrious and trifle severe" He had
served as captain, colonel and general in
the war of 1Sl2-l5, and his leading idea
