TIT QUALITY or GENIUS.
Its Practical Absorption OF . Mans
Rest Faculties.

To be a great lawyer is incompatible
with being Il great poet. Nevertheless.
Shakespeare was fond of showing his
little legal knowledge, and Bacon has
written some verse. There have been
writer's of eminence, like Walter Scott
and T%hackeray, who were lawyers BY
profession, but they must have made
law quite subordinate to literature, al
though some of them. like Walter
Scott, have got money by following the
law. Hoffman, the author of s'The Pot
Of Gold and other imaginative stories.
was 4 man Of genius. who was also 4
judge or d magistrate. | think, howev.
er, that his legal duties sat lightly on
him. His connection with the law
seems somewhat similar to that Of
Walter Scott. 1t was neither absorb
Ing nor permanent. Politicians turn
to literature. Literary men, like Cha
teaubriand and Lamartine. have held
high places as politicians. but they
never were real statesmen, and !
should not call them men Of great
genius. A man of action may be great
in more fields Of action than
Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte
were statesmen and generals. but they
were not and could not be poets,
though Julius Cesar was a writer.
Among the ancient Greeks and later
Spaniards and Portuguese we 6rd
poets who were soldiers and ever gen
erals. They. however. were not wholly
military. Only a part, and sometimes
a small part. Of their lives was spent
ia service. Horace's experience of war
was very short, and. although he was
a military tribune, be was not a dis.
tinguished soldier. A man may be
excellent In more ways than one, but
he cannot be a man of genius in two
different ways. A few instances, such
as that OF Sheridan. might be given
which seem to be exceptions to the
rule. | doubt whether they are so.
The same inclination made Sheridan
an orator and a writer OF comedy

STEPS THAT BETRAY.

Steps that are quick are Indicative OF
energy and agitation.
Tiptoe walking betrays surprise, GU
riosity. discretion or mystery.
Turned In toes are often found with
~preoccupied, absent minded persons.
The miser's walk Is represented as
STOPPING, noiseless, with short, nerv-
Gus. anxious steps.
The proud step Is slow and measured.
The toes are conspicuously turned out,
the legs Strengthened.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest d gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the case may be.
The direction or the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
OF the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty, hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people who In argument
rely more on muscularity than on In
t%ellectual power rest the feet fatty and
firmly on the ground. walking heavily
and slowly. and stand with the legs
firmly planted far apart.

A Romantic Marriage.

A dispatch from St. Louis, Mo-, says
ga quiet wedding was the outcome Sat
urday of lengthy journey made several
DAYS ago by Miss Blanche NJ. English,
of Alexandria, Va, in order to be at the
bedside of her affianced husband, Eugene
p. Mckinney The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Father McKenney, of
Ellicot City, Md, at the rectOry of ST.
Francis Xavier's Church, Grand Avenue
and Lindell Boulevard, at IL o'clock.
The officiating priest is a brother of the
bridegroom. The wedding followed a
romance begun in Alexandria eight years
ago, while McKenney was chief clerk of
the Southern Railway at that place. 1t
was there the young couple plighted
their trOth. 1t was not long after this
that the road officials assigned McKenney
TO Washington, d. c., and finally to
the East st. Louis position. The young
man applied himself assidiously to his
duties, hoping to go to Virginia at an
early date to claim his bride, but events
did not occur as had been hoped and the
wedding date was set for the coming fall.
Several weeks ago McKenney became i'll
and was sent to st. Louis hospital.
His recovery was slow, and Miss English,
with the spirit of true southern woman,
came to st. Louis to be at the bedside of
her affianced husband. From the mo-
ment OF her arrival McKenney naturally
began to improve. Two days ago the
patient was able to leave the hospital,
and the wedding was arranged forthwith.
AS Father McKenney, the groom's broth
er, was already present. it was decided
that he should officiate at the marriage.
The couple left on the Wabash train
Saturday noon for Chicago, tOspend their
honeymoon. McKenney has been grant
ed a leave of absence from his duties and
will take an extensive trip to recover his
health. The couple will reside in st.
Louis. During her sojOurn in st. Louis
Miss English, now Mrs. McKenny, stop
ped with Chief Clerk Burroughs, of the
Southern Railway, who resides at 1858 A
Cleveland Avenue. Officials of the
Southern Railway speak in the highest
terms of Mr.. McKenney. His bride is
beautiful and cultured Virginia girl.
Miss English is a daughter of Captain
Samuel English, formerly of this city but
now living in Rockville, Md.
