Books have been written to preserve
anecdotes of bench and bar, and the fol-
lowing told of the early bar of Washing
ton, will bear repeating. The Capital
was village, and a tailor, North OF
the Avenue, near the Capitol grounds
One morning two members of the SUI
preme Court bar, very distinguished anc
very learned lawyers, were on their way
to tho Capitol to argue a case, when
they began the discussion of personal
| matter that had occasioned much angrs
feeling between them. As they reached
old Brooks shop they entered it to es-
cape heavy shower of rain. They con-
tinued the discussion and soon came to
blows
They wore arrested for breach Of the
peace and carried before the police judge
who appointed the following morning tof
the hearing of the case. Many or theii
associates were promptly on hand at the
trial to enjoy the chagrin OF their broth
ers CT the profession. Old Brock was
| the sole witness, and his testimony was
/ to this effect:
Il was sitting On my bench yestel
morn, stitching On a garment ana cogi

of laughter went UP from bench. bar. an'

matics and computed that for every time
the clock had struck since March the
President had turned four loyal men out
of office and put four traitors in office.
Edmunds seriously proposed TO bring the
President OF the United States before
committee OF the Senate, and force him
TO disclose his reasons for his action. Ii
was the most audacious proposition since
Ben. Butler proposed to put Andy John
son in a prisoners dock while the Sen
ate heard the impeachment charges. The
Senate would not hear to Edmund's pro-
posal, as the managers of the impeach-
ment would not hear to Buffers. The
President was represented in the debate
by Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, and
Senator Pugh Of Alabama, each of whom
gained great applause.
On the Republican side of the Senate
in those days was a duck-legged, dish
faced man, ard Just about the greatest
man of all of them. Certain it is that
his speech during the course of that
great constitutional debate was the ablest
and the most brilliant OF all of them.
Few there were who heard it who sus-
peeted that Benjamin Harrison would be
the next President OF the United States.
And none then who heard ii was aston
ished that Ben. Harrisons administra-
ton was as able as the ablest since the
government began. AS lawyer and as
a statesman Ben. Harrison was the equal
of any man OF his day. AS writer OF
dispatches he was the superior Of James
G. Blaine. and not the inferior of John
Quincy Adams. AS debater he had no
superior. AS a popular orator he was
simply superb. Ben Harrison, Carl
Schurz, and John G.. Carlisle were the
foremost champions OF the public credit
when Bryan led the crusade against 1t in
1896. ard If Harrison was not as great a
man as oliver P. Morton. he was a
greater intellect and profounder states
man. II he could not have been the 81 eat
war Governor neither did Morton show
the great qualities Harrison showed in
the Senate and in the White House.
Senator Edmunds is an anti-imperial-
ist. He would throw the mantle OF the
Constitution over the Philippine Islands,
but he denied it TO the stricken and
heroic South of 1S65-'75.

DONOTHING DOCTRINE.
That's the doctrine of great many
indolent people. They say "it will go
| away after bit" when cautioned to ~do
something" for their ailment. Just
imagine a farmer looking over the fence
at the sprouting weeds in his corn and
saying 0they'll go away after bit"
Diseases are like weeds. All they ask
is neglect and they will grow and flour
ish. Neglect the first symptoms of dis
ease of the stomach and it will not be
long before other organs are involved,
because every organ of the body is de-
pendent ON the stomach and its allied
organs for nutrition. When the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton are diseased the food eaten is
not perfectly 0igested and assiinilated.
Hence there is loss of nutrition by the
body; loss which shows itself in loss of
flesh, and reduced weight, and that loss
of nutrition is shared by every organ of
the body, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys,
etc. As consequence when the stom-
ach 10 diseased, the heart is liable to be
involved, or the lungs. kidneys or liver.
These facts emphasize the danger of
neglect of what is popularity termed
rstomach trouble"

make home. not only admire wo-
man rs the most beautiful object ever
created, but | reverence her a. the re-
deeming glory Of humanity, the sane
tuary OF all the virtues, the pledge OF
perfect qualities Of heart aud head.
1t is not just or right to lay the sins
of men at the feet OF woman. 1t is be-
cause women are so much better than
men that their faults are considered
greater. A mans desire is the fOun-
dation OF his love, but "A woman's de-
sire is born OF her love.
"The one thing in this world that
is constant, the one peak that rises
above all clouds, the one window in
which the light forever burns, the one
star that darkness cannot quench, is
woman's love. 1t rises to the greatest
heights, it sinks to the lowest depths,
it forgives the most cruel injuries. 1t
is perennial OF life, and grows in every
climate. Neither GOODNESS nor neg
lect, harshness nor cruelty can eXtin
guish it. A woman's love is the per-
fume of the heart. This is the real
love that subdues the earth; the love
that has wrought all miracles Of art !;
that gives us music all the way from
the cradle song to the grand closing
symphony that bears the soul away
on wings of fire. A love that is
greater than power, sweeter than life,

a woman's love is perfume to the heart;
