One day Julian Hawthorne was com
plimenting a certain writer on his
wonderful facility In his handling of
words and in his construction of sen
fences. you are master of phrases, -
said the novelist, with a twinkle and
then added:
How do you do 1t, anyhow"
II don't know replied the writer.

AS a rule, Abraham Lincoln's fees
were less than those of other lawyers
of his circuit. Justice Davis once re-
monstrated with him and insisted that
he was doing a grave injustice to his
associates at the bar by charging so lit
tie for his services. From 1850 to 1850
his income varied from $1,000 to $1,000.
and even when he was recognized as
one of the ablest lawyers of the state
his fee book frequently shows charges
of SO, So and 81 for advice, although
he never went into court for less than
$40. During that period he was at the
height of his power and popularity,
and lawyers of less standing and talent
charged several times those amounts.
But avarice was the least of his faults.

Sir Edward Russel's record in the
way of literary work was his article on
Matthew Arnold on the day that great
man died. Sir Edward had exclusive
information of the event, which hap
pened on Sunday. He did not get
to work until half past in the even
ing, and it was necessary for him to
catch train at 9 o'clock. By dint of
dicta ting to his secretary and writing
himself. he got through t biographical
article of a column and a half and II
two column leader within one hour
and twenty minutes. Such a feat has
never been excelled.

1t used to be the privilege of Aus
trials representative at any conference
of representatives of the German
states to smoke, the others refraining.
This was supposed to be an acknowl-
edgment of Austria's supremacy. At
the first conference that Bismarck at
tended as Prussia's representative he
began to puff smoke across the confer
ence table as soon as the Austrian dip
lomat lit up. That set everybody pres
ent to smoking on equal terms, and
Austrias supremacy got blow.

She held out an open box of biscuits.
"Come, doggie," she pleaded. And the
prodigal tired at last of the husks,
trotted forward. The footman lifted
him In, and he sat with his dirty paws
on the fawn cushions and ate of the
fatted calf.
When the carriage reached the IA
miliar street the footman was ordered
to hold Anthony tightly.
1T would kill them sweet old darlin's
to see him so dirty" said the kind
hearted person. So the small dog was
carried into the gorgeous apartment
and scrubbed and perfumed and dec
GRATED with a distracting pink bow.
Then the red faced lady hied herself to
the brownstone front.
Charles took her card up.
THE person from over there" he
said discreetly.
The backs of the two little ladies'
stiffened.
Charles hesitated. "She said she had
some news"
The eyes of the old ladies' conferred
with one accord on black drapeG
basket on a white draped table.
Anthony they exclaimed and fut.
tered downstairs.
When they reached the drawing
room, however and the vulgar awful
ness of the person was revealed, they
stiffened again.
But the red faced lady swept forward
and put both of her fat hands on Miss
Annes protesting, patrician shoulders.
I've found your darlin' dog" she
said.
What was a thumb ring or distinc-
lions of caste at such a moment? The
frail blue veined hands of the little wo-
men clasped the pudgy digits of the red
faced lady, and their well bred voices
We're almost shrill as they asked their
breathless questions. Presently Charles
was sent across the street to meet half
way the cockaded footman, and be-
tween them they brought in perfumed
and prodigal canine, who barked excit-
edly and licked the faces of the old la
dies as they hung over him.
At last Miss Anne sank down on a
sofa, her cheeks flushed, her eyes
bright, her gray hair flying about her
ears.
Get him a chop, Charles" she COM
manded.
The red faced lady interposed. Hes
stuffed already" she said inelegantly.
The little ladies shuddered.
He ought to get out more" advised
the person. You let me take him. I'm
that lonesome sometimes that it seems
as if | couldn't stand it," In her voice
was all the wistful longing of the once
busy woman to whom wealth has
brought unwelcome leisure.
Before the eyes of the little Indies
flashed a vision of Anthony in the VIC
toria beside the vulgar. red faced lady.
But with their other fine qualities they
possessed the gentle one of gratitude,
and without apparent hesitation Miss
Anne responded:
I'VE shall be glad If you will take
him.
Then Miss Angelina made another eff
fort:
MY sister and l will give ourselves
the pleasure of calling on you soon,"
she said.
The face of the person shone with
delight for n calling acquaintance with
the Hildreths was a consummation to
be desired.
But that night when Anthony was
snoring in his basket Miss Annie bent
over him and shifted:
"Musk" she said, with shiyer of
disgust.
And pink bow" quavered Miss
Angelina.
They opened their windows, and the
fresh night air blew in. Then they
crept into bed to listen blissfully to
the deep drawn breaths that issued
from the depths of the little closet.

Charles zueblin of the University of
Chicago said: THE type of woman
who has never had justice done her is
the self made woman. We daily hear
