Only One Ohio Man Has Held the
Office-No New Yorker Since 1872.

Office-No New Yorker Since 1872.
Among the earliest duties which will
devolve upon the recently elected
members of the Fifty-eighth Congress
will be the choice of a speaker, and
present indications make 1t probable
that the speaker will be chosen from
the west
The speaker OF the Fifty-seventh
Congress, David B. Henderson, was the
first to be chosen from the territory
west Of the Mississippi.
The first speaker was F. A. Mullen
burg of Pennsylvania. The post or
speaker was held in the Twenty-fourth
and Twenty Congresses by James
X. Polk, afterward president.
Speakers of the House Of Represen.
tatives who have been candidates for
president are numerous and include
! Henry Clay, John Bell and James G..
Blaine. Schuyler Colfax after having
been speaker, was wee president OF
the United States.
The oldest surviving speaker Ia
/ Galusha A. Grow, born in 1923 and
speaker from 1861 TO 1868.
The last Democratic speaker,
Charles F. Crisp, was a native OF Eng.
land Two surviving speakers, John
G Carlisle and Thomas B. Reed,
though elected Representatives in
Kentucky and Maine respectively, are
/ now residents of the city of New
York.
There has never been a speaker
from the Pacific coast and it is some
what curious circumstance that Ohio,
though pre-eminent in nearly all other
political offices, has had in the coun-
try's history but one speaker, John w.
Kiefer, who served only a single term.
The state of New York has had 10
speaker since the close OF the Nine
teenth Congress in 1927, though New
York has been, during the whole Of
that period, the most populous state
and the one having the largest con-
gressional representation.
The speaker of the Fifty-eighth con-
gress when chosen will preside over
a larger number of Members of Con-
gress than any of his predecessors, the
total membership of the next house
being 3S6.

Scottish shrewdness is occasionally
overmatched by Irish wit. The hand
full of people who inhabit a certain
little island in the Atlantic, Off the
coast of Donegal, enjoy so much health
and so little wealth that there is no
doctor on the spot. In rare cases Of
emergency q physician is brought in Il
boat from the nearest village on the
mainland.
On one occasion some islanders who
were obliged 10 summon the doctor
found that he had gone to Dublin on
business. As the case was urgent, they
invoked the services of another prac-
titioner. This gentleman was a Scots
man. with the proverbial canniness of
his race. and lie declined to undertake
the voyage unless he received his fee,
q golden sovereign, in advance.
There was no help for 1t, and the
money was paid. The physician went
to the island and attended to the case.
But when he inquired for a boat to
take him away he found that not a
boatman on the island would ferry
him back again for any less consldera-
tion than e, paid in advance.
The doctor had to part with the mon
ey and to admit that he had been beat
en- at his own game.

The pua1 Purnose Cow.

Professor Curtiss of Iowa created
quite n sensation at the meeting of the
Illinois Live Stock Breeders associa-
COW, saying that on the high priced
land of that state it would not pay to
keep cows for the sake OF calf a year.
There were many dissenters, among
them some of the greatest beefmakers
of the state. But we take 1t that Pro-
fessor Curtiss had in mind the average
farmer, who must have cow that will
do more than raise calf, else he has
no dairy products either to use or to
sell. So far as this class is concerned
the professor is right and his utter
ance is timely warning against the
extremes in breeding practced today
or rather against the desirability OF
such breeding for the ordinary farmer
and stock raiser. Some cows are bred
to give milk so rich in solids that they
cannot raise their calves on 1t. Some
are bred to give so little milk that they
can hardly raise their own calves. Both
extremes are useful In some places,
but not in the hands OF the farmer. a.
good but not extremely large flow OF
milk, good calf to feed for beef and
a good carcass when done producing
are not impossible in the same COW,
and they are the best combination yet
found for the general farmer, the man
who cannot keep different animals for
different purposes, but wants dairy
products and beef too.-National Stock

What WenrIcd Him.

A friend once asked an aged man
what caused him to complain so often
at eventide of pain and WEAKNESS.
"Alas," replied he, Il have every day
so much to do. have two falcons to
tame. two hares to keep from running
away, two hawks to manage, SER
pent to confine, lion to chain and n
sick man to tend and wait upon"
"Well, WELL" commented his friend,
"you are busy indeed. But | didn't
know that you had anything TO do with
a menagerie. How, then, do you make
that out?'
"Why," continued the old man, 'lis-
ten. Two falcons are my eyes, which
1 must guard diligently; the two hares
are my feet, which l must keep from
walking in the ways of sin; the two
hawks are my hands, which | must
train to work. that l may provide for
myself and those dependent on me as
well as for needy friend occasionally
the serpent is my tongue, which | must
keep ever bridled lest 1t speak unseem-
ly; the lion Is my heart, with which l
have n continual fight lest evil things
come out OF It, and the sick man is my
whole body. which is always needing
my watchfulness and care. All this
daily wears out my strength"

Higher EducLtioE.

Those who plead the cause of Latin
and Greca in 5ur higher education
should remember that colleges were
first founded in the early middle ages
TO teach the classics TO prospective
priests. for use in reading rituals.
Greek i'll the east and Latin in the west,
at a time when these languages We're
obsoleScent in speech and yet contain
ed all the literature, philosophy, poetry
and such science as the world of Eu-
rope knew. and the modern tongues,
just coming into use in Europe, north
and south had in them neither litera-
ture nor ether elements of learning.
Colleges so begun became the fashion.
Every college man was classical man,
and naturally then. as now, man
would feel that his own college culture
was the right one. 1t soon became a
common saying that the only educa-
ton worthy of the name was Greek
and Latin. But now modern languages
are very rich in every form of litera-
ture and learning. everything from the
classics has been often emptied into
them by better masters than the aver
age student can fairly hope to be, los
ing some and also gaining some in the
translation from languages which few
scholars even ever learn TO read ana
to enjoy, while a wealth Of scientific
knowledge of the boundless world,
which to know is the real learning, has
sprung up in many modern tongues
