armed himself with pistol, stuck
down his pants in front, and had
spit in Representative Jones'

the insult Clarke undertook to
draw his pistol to kill him, but
was prevented. This story went
all over the civilized world.
What do you think the civil

vote to elect one of these men to
one high office and the other to
another? What sort Of people

"The people of Arkansas owe
it to themselves; they owe it tc
their state and its good name, by
our votes, to say to all mankind
that we never elect such men
for high office after we have
found them out. And this,

BLAINE'S MEMORY,
a Story Showing How Well Developed
Was It's Power.

A talent for remembering names
and faces is q most convenient one,
especially for a man in public life.
Few men have it in greater measure
than had Mr.. Blaine. There are a
thousand stories of his wonderful
readiness in recalling persons, and
here is one not before in print:
In the early sixties he was travel
ing in sleeping ear through Cana
da. Deep in the Canadian forest
the engine broke down, and there
was delay of several hours. A lit
tie girl of five years was a fellow
passenger. Mr.. Blaine made friends
with the child and to pass the time
Of waiting proposed that they should
go in search of spruce gum. They
came back laden with sticky spoils,
which were shared with their COM
panions.
Fifteen years went by, and the
child had grown to be a college sem
ior without again seeing Mr.. Blaine.
One afternoon she heard him speak
at large public meeting, and at the
close Of the address she made her
way to him. She said simply:
"1Ir. Blaine, | don't suppose you
will remember me. | am Margaret
SARGENT"
Quick as flash came the answer,
emphasized with a hearty hand
grasp:
"IIave you ever tasted any spruce
gum since that was as good as that
was ?"
OF course the recognition made
that Girl his friend for life.
Mr.. Blaine was once asked how
he acquired the power, He said that
he was not conscious of any especial
effort to gain it unless by cultiyat-
ing the habit of always thinking
over carefully each night the events
Of the day and the persons who
had taken part in them. Probably
a brief written record of these would
help still further in the strengthen
ing of the power. Certain it is that

As men in early times fought
hand to hand, the oldest specimens
Of the sword are short. In fact, the
sword is probably but an evolution
Of the club, which, at first made Of
hardwood, was gradually sharpened
on one and then on both sides, so as
to inflict a more deadly wound.
Wood gave way to stone, which in
turn was displaced by bronze, iron
and finally steel,
The sword increased in length as
men became more civilized and
showed a disposition to fight farther
away from each other, which re-
quired more deXterity in the use of
the weapon. Some specimens we
have Of swords of the middle ages
are almost if not quite as long as
the warriors who welded them.
During the fifteenth century the sci
ence Of fencing was invented, when
the sword in the form of a rapier
reached the highest point Of deyel-
opment.
