rhe Adnre Held Good.

Judge Cox, of the United States cir
cult court, while delivering a lecture
at Columbia university, told of young
lawyer who came before the supreme
court to argue case in which he was
also defendant. Addressing the court,
he referred to the old French adage de-
claring that he who argues his own case
has a fool for client. After the case
had been heard he left for his home in
st. Louis, asking friend to notify him
by wire when the decision was handed
down. This was tho pJthy dispatch he
received: "Old French adage affirmed"

comparatively short life. He was born
in North Carolina moved to Chicago

project will be the trustees of the Cor
coran art gallery in Washington, VINO
have united with other patrons and low
ers of art in Washington, New York,
Boston and Chicago, under the stimulus
afforded by Mr.. Morgan's proposition.
Congress will not be asked to make a
large appropriation. 1t will be expect
ed simply to lend the government sane
ton to an enterprise which will be sup
ported chiefly from private contribu-
tions. A New York member of congress
will introduce the bill, and will be pre-
pared to back it up with an offer OF
$1,OOO,OOO as part of the endowment for
the gallery.
A relative of this same congressman
will give a valuable art collection and
a large sum of money for the purchase
of examples of Filipino, Mexican, Gu,
ban and Porto Rican landscapes
But the great glory of the gallery will
| be the collection of Mr.. Morgan. The

that the gallery shall be situated il

appraised at $6,OO0,OOO and it is declared
to be worth much more even than that
Besides he will furnish enough none!
to build wing, to be known as "Th

Should congress sanction the gift tn
result will be in a short time tn
greatest gallery of art in the world
and Washington will become one of tn
great art centers of the world. Archi
tecturally, too, the gallery will be
classic worthy to rank with the famou
specimens of architecture to be foun

And water and cookies for me,

We nibble and chatter with dolly,
And offer her tea" from spoon,
And often our meal is so jolly,

Til Mabel jumps up in n hurry
And says that she really must so,
And l say: "Oh, truly, I'm sorry,
And dolly enjoyed 1t, / know"

Bay rum is manufactured from the
dried leaves of Pimento acrls. Bay rum
is procured by distillation, and this in
a very simple manner The leaves are
picked from the trees and then dried.
In this state they are placed in the re-
tort, which is then filled with water.
and the process of distillation is carried
on. The vapor is then condensed in the
usual way and forms what is known as
bay OIL very small quantity of which
is required for each puncheon of rum.

A Gentleman.

What is it to be gentleman? 1t is to
have lofty aims, to lead pure life, to
keep your honor virgin, to have the
esteem of your fellow citizens and the
love of your fireside, to bear good for
tune meekly, to suffer evil with con-
stancy, and through evil and good to
maintain truth always? Show me the
happy man whose life exhibits these
qualities, and him we will salute as gen.
tleman, whatever his rank may be. Show
me the prince who possesses them, and
he may be sure of our love and loyalty

craft offers any peculiar advantages for
the purpose for which it is used. but be-

A Strong Man.

Senator Kearns, of idaho, is the
strongest man in the United States sem
ate and can easily floor any of his col
leagues with a single blow from his pom
derous fist. In the early days of Idaho,
when nearly everyone carried pistol,
the future senator refused to arm him
self, and although he was frequently in
yolved in alterations was never known
to come out second best A single blow
from his good right hand was sufficient
to send his adversary to grass.
