tilt with John Holmes. interesting, be-

that stuck to Hamlin through life.
Holmes had been in the United States

the state house Of Representatives was
endeavoring to domineer over it.
Hamlin disputed the leadership with
him. and Holmes attempted to crush
his young opponent by coarsely ridicul-
ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly
Hamlin jumped to his feet and, point
ing his finger at Holmes, retorted: .sIf
the gentleman chooses to find fault
with me for my complexion, what has
he to say about himself1 l take my
complexion from nature. He gets his
from the brandy bottle. Which is more
honorable7" This retort was greeted
with great applause and cries CT go

Hamlin then continued, pointing his
finger at Holmes: 81 will also tell the
member from Alfred that he is more
conspicuous for trying to run dryshod
over young men than for trying to en-
courage them. But as long as they are
true to themselves and to nature and as
long as the member from Alfred sticks
to the brandy bottle they need not fear
him. As soon as the cheers of the
house could be sufficiently silenced
Holmes retracted his words and made a
manly apology. 1.-The young Cartha-
ginian routed the old Roman" was one
humorous comment on the incident,
and from that time Hamlin was thus
frequently characterized - Lewiston

How Could the Poor Frenchman Tell
What 1t Could Dot


While in Chicago NJ. de Monvel, the
French artist, heard one story that puz-
zled him. 1t was told at a dinner party,
and he smiled just as if he understood
it. That night he thought it over, but
the more be thought the less he COM
pretended it. Finally a fellow artist
who had heard the story repeated it,
drew pictures of it, and then a light
broke on NJ. de Monvel, and he laughed.
"Ah, we Frenchmen are stupid when
compared with the Americansl" he ex-
claimed. Il shall tell that story, and it
will make Paris laugh"
The little tale was about French
carpenter who bought saw from a
Chicago manufacturer who made a
specially of advertising. Engraved on
the tool was the assurance that "day in
and day out this saw will wear longer
than any other on the market" The
Frenchman read the advertisement,
and the day he bought the saw he put
it carefully away. The next day he
used it and left it ont of doors in the
pouring rain, A neighbor demonstrated
with him for his carelessness, and he
picked mp the saw. pointed to its in
scription and exclaimed:
