American Bar Association.

LittleneId Creates n sensation Before the
American Bar Association.
Denver, Aug. PA sensation was
caused at Thursdays session of the
American Bar association by the adj
dress of Congressman Littleield in the
insular cases. Mr.. Littlefeld's address
drew forth loud and long continued ap-
plause and a motion was made to ten
der him a vote of thanks for it. but
this was declared out of order by the
president on the ground that the speaker
is not a member of the association. The
view of the mover was not, however,
universal with the members.
Before recess was taken Adolph
Moses of Chicago, made vigorous pro-
test against what he characterized as an
unwarranted attack upon the supreme
court of the United Suites. His re-
marks were cut off by point of order.
but his words were greeted with ap-
plause in which considerable minority
Of the convention joined.
Mr.. Littlefeld reviewed the decisions
rs handed down by the court and his
criticism was severe. His conclusions
es to Porto Rice's statpsts briefly:
$50 far as the operation of the oonsti.
sutton was concerned this territory was
30 all legal intents and purposes a part
of the United States, 1t matters moi
how the constitution reached the terri
tory SO far as this case WIS concerned,
30 Aong as 1t Was there. -
Mr.. Littlefield also discussed the thir.
teenth amendment to the constitutions
as it has been construed by the supreme
court. At the conclusion of Mr.. Little.
fields address Mr.. Moses obtained the
floor and handled Mr.. Littleneld's opin-
ion of the courts decision in a sewers
manner. but point of order kept the as
ISOLATION from taking any action.
The general council has agreed upon
the following for national officers: Pres.
ident, y. III. Rose of Little Rock, Ark;

One of the most exciting Alpine ad-
ventures on record was Mr.. Tuckett's
race with an avalanche on the Eiger
glacier in 1871 He.was ascending the
glacier with two friends and a guide.
Says Travel:
The glacier sloped somewhat steeply,
and on the upper part, above the climb
ers, mass of loose, freshly fallen
snow had collected. Suddenly the trav-
elers heard a laundering noise and
perceived huge mass of snow and ice
sliding down toward them. They
could only try to reach the rocks at the
blde Of the glacier, hoping to do so
before the avalanche should sweep
them away. Through the knee deep
snow they ran for their lives.
81 remember" said Mr.. Tuckett, "be-
Ing struck with the idea that It seemed
as IL the avalanche were sure of its
prey and wished to play with us for
awhile. At one moment it let us imag-
Inc that we had gained on It, and the
next, with mere wantonness of vindlc-
tive power, It suddenly rolled out
vast volume of grinding blocks and
whlrling snow, as IL to show us that It
could outiank us any moment 1t chose.

cloud, swept over us, entirely conceal

were untouched, and still we ran.

Doing the GIaEler a Kindnesa.


A travelling tinker out OF work be
mOaned his hard luck to a sympathetic
glazier.
"I'll soon put that right for you"
said the glazier. "Just come up to
that big hotel over there In half an
hours time, and you'll find work"
Accordingly the tinker made his ap-
pearance at the appointed time and
found himself in great request. as all
the good wife's pots and pans had mys.
teriously sprung leaks.
Needless TO say the glazier had slyly
operated on them to provide a job for
his acquaintance.
Having finished his work, the tinker
trudged off, full Of gratitude, and soon
arrived at wayside schoolhouse.
A happy thought striking him, he de
termiDed to repay the glaciers kind
ness, and. arming himself with stones
he speedily smashed every window ii
the house.
Returning, he intimated to his friend
the service he had rendered him, bu
was amazed TO see the man Of glass
become convulsed with rage.
