tide as a practicing lawyer he did
most of his work and study in a
smallish room where he surrounded
himself with the pictures and books
which he liked best.
There were four terra Gotta busts
kept on the mantle-Emperor William
I, Gen. Won Moltke, Prince Bismarck
and the Emperor Frederick. There
was also on the mantle discrimi-
mating but small collection of beer
mugs, while big long-stemmed Ger
man pipe, painted with German
country landscape, hung ON the wall.
Most OF his books were naturally
bound volumes, devoted to the law,
but there were also a number of
Howells novels, James Freeman
Clarke's Common Sense in Religion, :"
Horaces' Odes in Latin. "Gil Bias" in
English, and the Noyes translation of
the New Testament-rather a strange
commingling. His pictures included
himself, and one of John Jay bearing
his autograph. Suspended on the wall,
too, was a pair of well worn boxing
gloves.
Some of Mr.. choate's stories have
himself for their subject. Here is
one:
In a certain case, in which he repre-
scented an insurance company, that
charged the plaintiff with having set
fire to his own store that he might
collect the insurance, Mr.. Choatc
made poor Roadway at first. The
plaintiff was on the stand and Choate
was trying to tangle him up without
avail. Suddenly one of the Jurors, a
German, broke in with the question:
well, after you the store set fire to,
didn't you run owd, hay?"
Amid the laughter of everybody In
the court room, except the Judge, who
had hard work to keep his face
straight, the plaintiff stammered an
admission. choate followed this UP
vigorously of course, and won the
case. Afterward he shook hands with
the jurvman.
How did you happen to ask that
question:" he queried. ut enabled
me to win the case"
HUH" responded the Juror, in
dignantly. ''You won dot case? ]
done dot ineinselfl"
Choate's magnificent rhetoric is at
least partly due, beyond doubt, to
his thorough knowledge Of the Bible.
Rufus Choate was the first great law
yer Of the family, and he often inn
pressed the nephew in the latter's
early years with the value Of The
Book as a reservoir Of English pure
and undefled. as well as an epitome
Of all true wisdom. both human and
divine.
Mr.. Choate's tribute TO his uncle
and TO the Bible. In an address deliv-
cred just before he was sent to Eng
land as ambassador. Is so fine that
like certain famous passages In one OF
Mr.. Blaine's earlier speeches, It would
stand the school book test, II It had
the chance. Duane.

New York, Nov. 26.-The stock mar
ket is beginning to show frequent
symptoms of digestion-nothing SER
ious like two years ago, but sufficient
ly so to give the speculative stomach
periods of disquiet. For two weeks or
more extensive profit taking has been
going on and immense lines of securi-
ties bought by the banking interests
at lower figures have been unloaded
on set Of new buyers. These new
buyers compose what Is called in the
street eleventh hour bulls" curious
fatality impels many people filled with
the gambling instinct to wait until
bull movement approaches maturity
before taking hold, thereby losing their
opportunity to make money and get
ting into the swim just in time to go
through sweat. Speculation in stocks
as conducted by a very large element
is inevitably a losing game because of
determined effort on the part OF
the players to pay the highest pos
sible prices for the goods they buy.
In every other line Of business the eff
fort is TO buy cheap and sell high.
In stock gambling directly the reverse
is the rule of the multitude. The mob
buys at the top. stands a loss and
then let's go.
Az Legitimate as Any business.
Stock speculation can be made as
legitimate a business as merchandising
or manufacturing and those who make
It an occupation and study the game
as they would any other business Of
tentimes reap splendid rewards. They
cannot, however, make the gamble In
stocks Incidental. To achieve success
in that direction requires wide, general
knowledge OF business conditions and
the effect Of certain movements ana
currents in trade and finance, as well
as the proper trading instinct. With
out these success is impossible and
those who engage therein would save
time and worry II they would take their
money and throw 1t In the furnace or
bury II. Outsiders, as rule, have as
little chance TO win In the great game

Kearsarge and Olympia. Of course, they all gave the respect due the ill-fated ves- sel by lowering their colors. A huge re- ception was planned on the Kearsarge for tomorrow. This has been postponed In the following card, signed by the com mander-in-chief, Admiral Barker: ''On account of the sad accident on board the battleship Missouri, the invitations for the reception to eb held on the flagship Kearsarge on Thursday. April 14, are withdrawn" Several wagon loads of cof- fins were taken to the Missouri at dark. The funerals have not yet been arranged for, but a statement of high officer was that the bodies would be held subject to the orders of relatives. It Is possible, said he, that every body will be sent home and inferred in the family cemetery. The accident has also forced the postpone ment of a series of athletic contests which were to have been held here next week.
 The Missouri was on the Gulf at target practice and would have completed same within the next two days. Then the ship Sas to have proceeded to New York for docking and be placed in first class con dltion for the proposed European cruise. The battleship Iowa. the ill-fated battle- ship of last year, on which several men were killed by an explosion, was in sight of the Missouri when the calamity oc- cured. That ship offered assistance, but 1t was not needed. The harbor was made for at once.

 At 3 p. m. the Missouri arrived in Pen sacola Bay. Immediately upon belng sighted the official information was spread through all the naval ships and flags went to half mast Merchant ves- sels in the harbor and business houses along the water front followed the same example.
 There have been several reasons ad- vanced for the accident, one officer from the Olympia stated that the breech was opened too soon. The officer of the Olympia said that it was foolish for the breech to have been opened at all 'The ship should have been anchored bmlore that breech was opened the least bit '' he said. Tt was the height of folly to have allowed the breech to have been tempered with until that shell should have exploded. even if 1t would have taken an hour.
