One of the ablest lawyers and advo-
Gates New England ever produced was
Roger Minott Sherman, who was also
famous for the quickness of his wit.
A story which fully illustrates Sher-
mans powers Of repartee is quoted by
the late Senator Hoar In his book en-
titled IAN Autobiography of Serenity
Years"
On one occasion Sherman was argu-
ing a case against Nathan Smith, a
very able but rather coarse lawyer
Mr.. Smith had discussed the question
Of law with the subtlety for which he
was distinguished Mr. Sherman said
to the court that he thought Brother
Smiths metaphysics were out Of place
in that discussion; that he was not
averse to such refinement at a proper
time and would be willing on a fit
occasion to chop logic and split hairs
with him.
Smith Immediately pulled hair out
Of his own head and, holding it up,
said:
"Split that"
Sherman replied quick as lightning:
May it please your honor, l didn't
say bristles-"

A weak and puny child is badly handi-
capped in the battle of life. 1t is isolated
from the healthy enjoyments of its little

of their play or their sturdy work and

embittered by incapacity and weakness.

Queen Victoria was very fond of chill
dren, and one day she invited three lit
tie girls to pay her visit. The mother
of one OF the children went, too, to take
charge Of the party. During the visit
the queen asked one of the little girls
where she lived. "Near Whiteley's,"
answered the child, and the mother
was not exactly pleased because she
would have liked the queen to think
they lived somewhere else. After say
ing near Whiteley's" the child looked
up shyly at the queen and asked,
Where do you liver" "Oh, live near
Gorringe's,' said the queen, with her
charmingly kind smile, and the little
girl had no idea that the queens house
near Gorringe's" was known to all the
world as Buckingham palace or that it
was bit grander and bigger than her
