In the law courts. He was a first-class
Jury orator and at the same time deep
and sagacious lawyer-a combination
rarely found united in one person. Nu-
merous stories are told of the chief JUS
dee when, as plain Charles, or later as
Sir Charles Russell, he made 1t ex-
tremely trying with distinguished wit
nesses In his terrible cross-examina-
tons, or cast confusion upon his pro-
fessional opponents by his biting satire
or his sudden springing of a new point
In law. Sir Charles appeared In some
of the most famous cases at the British
bar. He defended Mrs. Maybrick, In
her celebrated murder trial In 1889, and
appeared in the Chetwynd turf scandal
case In the same year. In 1894 Sir
Charles, who had been knighted In 1893,
was appointed lord chief justice of En-
gland in succession to Lord Coleridge.
In 1896 Lord Russell visited the Unit
ed States and was royalty entertained
by members of the American bar.

Comfortable Footwear.

Buckskin shoes are not commonly
seen in Portland, though the old Indian
moccasln may not be much of curios-
ity, so when an Arizona man appeared
with a pair on his feet he attracted
some attention. A prominent cattleman
of the land Of cactus and hot sands
who Is in the city never wears any 9TH
er shoes. The uppers are regular In
dian-tanned buck; the soles are Of sole
leather, and he says they are just IKE
q stocking to the feet. Although Ihck-
skin is supposed to be lasting ma
terial, buckskin shoes cannot be worn
In the wet, and they would not do In
the plowtield or the harvest field. The
buckskin came from a deer he killed in
the Arizona mountains, and he paid $40
to have two pairs of shoes made. He
thinks people who box their feet up in
stiff calfskin are missing a whole lot
Of ease and comfort in life.-Portland

ing the stream of visitors. One day he
saw half dozen boys gathered about
an interesting specimen. Presently they
noticed Sir George, and a delegate ap-
preached with the request:
Please. sir, can you tell us the name
Of this creatureP'
Strangely enough, 1t was a specimen
which he had sent home from Austria
LA. He named it, and then the lad
asked:
Where did 1t come from"
He told them that, and the next Ques
ton came:
who killed it?"
A quicker gathered upon Sir Georges
face, and he hesitated, arguing with
himself:
IF l tell them they'll think me an
lmpostor, and perhaps discount the
other information I've given them"
But the boy was waiting, and Sir
George could only say: Frankly, you
know, l believe killed it myself"
Here, you fellowv' rang out the lads
merry voice. 'He says he killed it! Did
you ever!'
The other boys left the animal to
stare at what they considered even q
greater curiosity. They formed half
circle about him. "Oh, yes" said Sir
George, its quite true. Now, If you'll
listen I'll tell you the whole story, and
then you can decide for yourselves"
He began, and their amused incerdu-
lily vanished. They listened breath
lessly, and when he finished, hats and
caps were off, and they chorused:
THANK you, sir!'
1t was memorable afternoon.

New Medical Discovery.

DR.. Charles L. Villar, an Argentine
army surgeon, has just published a re-
port of the treatment of so cases of
tuberculosis with his serum at the mil,
itary hospital in New York city. The
treatment extended from December 2
1900, to April 20, 1901.
tuberculosis in the early stage, saws
DR.. Villar, was cured within 40 DAYS.
Patients whose cases were more ad.
vanced all were cured except those who
could offer very little resistance to the
disease.
DR.. Villar did not divulge the charac-
ter OF his serum, but 1t is yellow fluid.
Hypodermic injections are made, vary
ing in quantity every second, third,
fourth or fifth day, according to the
individual cases.
Argentine physicians have been in
vited to investigate the alleged cure
and the serum treatment
DR.. George F. Shrady of New York
city, in an interview published in the
New York Herald commenting upon
the dispatch, said that the medical pro-
fessiOn did not place much confidence
in the serum treatment of tuberculosis.
He said:
"The medical profession now holds
after centuries of experiments, that the
proper treatment for tuberculosis is a
change to dry, pure air. The impress
sion that men are not cured of con-
sumption is prevalent and an errone-
GUS one. There have been many thous-
ands of cures. The fact that DR.. Villar
does not give the formula of his rem
edy would prejudice the medical pro-
fession against it. A remedy designed
to benefit the human race should be as
free as air and water"
