matter he might have said: "a pres moi

come of Il fit of petulant irritation. He
discovered that the Presidency was not

courage, yet the very first crisis reveals

SHORT SWORDS FOR TWO.
A Story of What Might Have Been Among
Old Time Senators.

The late Judge l.. @. G. Lamar pos
sessed remarkable popularity. Un-
usual excitement seemed to act upon his
nerves like an opiate and put him to
sleep. This was strongly exemplified
after his remarkable verbal encounter
with the great New Yorker, Mr.. Conk-
ling. Mr.. Lamar, after scarifying Mr..
Conkling for life, leaving him with
burning yet deferential resentment,
closed as follows:
81 apologize to the senate for this
seeming unparliamentary language"
advancing to the New Yorker and
throwing his index finger full in his
face), Language that no man, good
man, deserves, and no brave man will
wear" Immediately Mr.. Lamar walked
to the cloakroom on the Democratic side,
lay down on a sofa, and in three min
utes was sleeping as calmly as babe
There was great excitement. 1t was be-
lieved Mr.. Conkling would not submit
to the language applied to him, and
that, while he probably would not chal-
lenge Lamar, being an athlete, he would
meet him on the streets and assault him.
The late Senator Zeb Vance, Hercules
in stature, who was devoted to Mr.. La
mar, without the knowledge of that gen.
tleman or of any other human being,
shadowed Mr.. Lamar for some days, ex-
planning afterward that if Conkling ever
struck Lamar he intended to beat him
to death. Mr.. Vance, however, did not
know what those intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Lamar knew. In all probabil-
ity Mr.. Lamar could have whipped
them both. He prided himself upon his
muscle and has often said to the writer,
81 believe I am better fitted for prize
fighter than I am for senator" 1t was
apprehended by some that Conkling
would challenge Mr.. Lamar. Conkling
was known to be an expert with the
short sword. Mr.. Lamar said afterward
to an intimate friend in discussing the
matter, eff Mr.. Conkling had sent me
challenge, I should have chosen short
swords"
"Why, Mr.. Lamar" replied his
friend, "Conkling is an expert with the
short sword"
II know that" replied the senator,
"but I took some lessons with the short
sword myself when was in Paris the
time that / was sent by the Confederacy
on mission to Russia
"Why, SENATOR" the friend replied,
"you have not had a short sword in
your hand in 20 years. i"

senator, "but I should have chosen short

Toad Superstitions.

Superstitions as to toads having been
early inculcated, it has been exceeding
ly difficult to get rid of them. One rem
nant of this ancient credulity still ex-
lists. 1t is in regard to the absolute i'm
perishable character of the toad. There
are well educated Americans who be-
lieve that toad hops out alive from a
slab of stone, though he has been i'm
prisoned there for several millions Of
years. We give in brief DR.. Buckland's S
experiments with toads in 1925. He
took IL toads and had the toads put in
IL cells cut in sandstone, and over these
he put plates of glass. They were bur-
led in garden for over year. When
exhumed, they were all dead. Then
some were put in porous sandstone, and
at the end of a year few were found
"greatly emaciated When buried for
another year, they all died. Toads were
inclosed in wood, and they all died.
The conclusion is that, deprived of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If toad as tadpole could have
entered a crevice in rock, it might
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is SO irradicable that it is
supposable it never can be dissipated. -
