Their Absence Explained.
During an acrimonious debate in the
house shortly before the civil war Mr..
Potter Of Wisconsin made some very
sharp structures on Mr.. Pryor Of V1r-
ginia. The result was a challenge from
Pryor to fight a duel, which Potter
prom. pity accepted, naming as terms
bowie knives at five PAGES, terms
which he we'll knew Pryor would not
dare to accept, as he was a small man,
while Potter was large, powerful
man and familiar with the use Of the
bowie knife. Pryor declined on the
ground that the proposed terms were
beneath the dignity Of gentleman to
accept, and so the matter ended. But
on the day following the challenge,
while the result was still unknown,
both Potter and Pryor were absent
during roll call, and when Potters
name was called Quaker member
rose and is mild voice said, "Mr.
Speaker, I am informed that the gen
tleman from Wisconsin had Prior en-

was called a moment later be rose

Double Thinking.

Professor Jastrow, writing in the
Popular Science Monthly Of the causes
Of certain lapses Of speech, recalls the
singular power that Sir Walter Scott,
among others, possessed Of conducting
two trains Of thought at the same
time. When highly developed this pow
er enables its possessor subconscious-
" to find words expressing a thought
already formed while at the same time
shaping the next thought period In
conscious preparation. An instance is
given by Scott's amanuensis, who re-
lates that while debating the novelist
would sometimes search through a
book, finding and reading passage,
and thus keeping two trains Of
thoughts going simultaneously. The
amanuensis discovered the fact that
Scott was doing double work In his
brain through the occasional occurrence
In the dictation Of a word which did
not ft In the sentence, but four or FIVE
lines farther on the place where the
word belonged would turn up.

later the men in camp saw Bill run

come, and close behind him was bear.
The men watched the chase, with load
ed rifles ready. On reaching camp Bill
turned and shot the bear. When the
men could stop laughing one Of them
said, 'Bill, what on earth possessed
you to run that distance with the bear
so close when you might have killed
him on the hill and saved your breath?'
