on James Russell Lowell. who had

gilshed gentleman 20 such hopeless
condition OF soak that he was Obliged
10 20 homo and change his clothes.
Whom young Russell was sont to
school for tho first tlmo-not very
long ago-tho teacher tried by ques-
tloning 10 find out how much he knew.
Strange TO say, the boy appeared la
mentally ignorant OF pretty nearly
everything. lie could not oven tell
whothor tho United States was re-
public or a monarchy. Finally tho In.
0tructor In despair asked him 10 name
tho governor Of Massachusetts,.
II don't know" said the boy.
well. said tho teacher, woarily,
when you see your father this even
ing, ask him 10 tell you"
Next day young Russell came TO
school again. and tho instructor asked
him II no had found out who was gov
ornor Of Massachusetts,.
"Yos," replied tho boy. Father
says that no Is governor. but he Is
such liar that don't know whether
10 bcliovc him or not"
Governor Russell tells that story
with much gusto.
Young Russell had new baby sister
at Just about that time. He did not
regard the addition to tho family with
much favor. One day he was entrust.

tlons 20 wheel her about In her car

the tail Of a grocery wagon. and only
an accidental discovery by the driver
Of tho vehicle saved tho infant from
being carried on. licing asked 20 cx-
plain why no had donc such thing,
the boy stated that he had often heard
Of children being run away with by
horses. and no wanted 10 500 some
thing OF that sort.
A great friend Of Governor Russol's
Is Professor Josiah Royce. the famous
inductiyo philosopher OF Cambridge.
The latter gentleman has II son OF
about tho same age who Is considered
10 rival young Russell as phonomo-
non and onfant terrible, says the
Philadelphia Times. Little Royce has
been brought up from the cradle on
rather unusual principles. From his
earliest infancy he was made sub
joct OF scientific experiments. For
example. 10 tost tho acutcnoss Of sen
