meanwhile studying law. When he had
saved UP q few hundred dollars, he en-
usred the law office of Socrates Tuttle, q
famous old time lawyer in Paterson, the
same Office in which Vice President Ho

WASHINGTON, Jan. ES.-Ine mouse

litical debate which has been raging
since Monday was transferred to the
District Of Columbia bill, which fol-

Concerning Mixed Metaphors

About a century ago there was delivered
In parliament the most famous mixed meta
phor ever exploited, up to that time, in
public. A member from an obscure bor-
ough, feeling that In addressing the speaker
and his brothers he should throw In as
much eloquence as possible, rose from his
seat during the discussion Of some trivial
matter, and said: "Mr. Speaker, smell a
rat; see it floating in the air; but, mark
my words, shall nip 1t in the bud''
That mixed metaphor has for years been
considered what is technically known as a
peach; but not long ago an embryo Henry
C,ay-a contestant for ratorical honors In
the University Of Michgan-sprung one SO
much more rare that in the metaphor race
II may be said to win in walk. Rising ur
on his tiptoes and swelling out his chest
like a pouter pigeon the young orator ex
claimed, as though he would his words
might go a-thundering down the ages:
"The star Of empire, tripping with light
footsteps across the Atlantic, poises on hel
outspread pinions in the air, and ther
pitches-and let us hope 1t may be forever

STAB IN THE BREAST
CHRIS LANG SERIOUSLY HURT
IN A FIGHT
He Claims to Have Been Attacked
Without Provocation by Two
Frenchmen-Free Fight

Chris Lang, blacksmith residing ~
South Hayes street, near Downey avenue,
received a serious knife wound in the lett
side of the breast last night, during fight
with an unknown man. In company with
George Parsons, a neighbor, who resides
at 1874 South Hayes street, Lang had been
visiting Chinatown and vicinity. Shortly
before l o'clock the couple were walking
along Plaza street toward Main to catch
the car home. Parsons asserts that two
men, escor,ing a woman, were directly IN
front OF them, and the men began making
sighting remarks about himself and his
companion. After the five had crossed
Sanchez alley the two men suddenly
turned and attacked Lang. He fought with
them, and Parsons states that he tried TO
draw Lang away and out Of danger.
Sergt. Smith heard the noise. and he saw
five men nghting. one of them, John Wiley.
being PROSTATE on the sidewalk, at tine
mere Of the others. Lang was fighting with
smaller man, and the sergeant grabbed
Lang and was reaching for his opponent,
who ducked and escaped, as did his COM
paEion.
Lang then discovered that he had been
wounded. for, turning to the officer, he
remarked that he had ruptured blood
! vessel during the fight, and asked for q
han dkerchief with which to bind up the
wound in his left hand. from which the
blood was flowing freely. This was done
for him, and the officer noticed that tho
mans breast was covered with blood. He
had evidently been stabbed by the small
man. Lang was sent to the receiving hos
pital, where he tainted from loss of blood
| before the arrival of DR.. Hagan. 1t was
found that the wound in the breast had
passed between the third and fourth ribs
and penetrated the left lung. making
very dangerous wound. Lang's left hand
had been cut and slashed in three places,
| made probably, when he grabbed at the
knife. His right thumb was broken, no
doubt, by striking it against the skull OF
some of his opponents. His wounds were
dressed, after which he was taken to his
home
| The identity OF Lang's assallant has not
| been learned. 1t is known that both he
and his companions were French. They
must have been aroused to assail Lang
| and Parsons by some fanced insult to their
female companion, who was evidersly
woman of lewd character, judging from
the late hour and the locality in which the
| fight occurred. No one appears to have
witnessed the stabbing. Wiley seems to
have had no logical relation with either
party and as he was drunk probably
"butted in and got a good thrashing for
being officious. Lang is employed as
riveter a the new Stimson block, corner OF
