The spreading Chestnut" Chair

When the street in Cambridge. in
which the spreading chestnut tree"
stood, was about to be widened by the
city. Longfellow protested TO the ut

protest, however, did not keep 1t from

pleasant thing if the children would

approaching seventy second birthday
The children Of Cambridge fell In very
heartily with the idea, and nearly 1000

He gave orders that every child who

to do so, and for days his house was

saved His Favorite Cap from Confs-
cation by Quaker Teacher.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
How Speaker Joseph 6. Cannon once
outwittcd his schoolmaster and saved a
favorite cap from coufscation is a story
Of his younger days told by a former
.schooImate, now a professor in a Western
Quaker college. 1t was at a time when
Mr.. Caunon's parents lived in a Quaker
settlement IN Western Indiana, where the
district school was governed by man
thoroughly imbued with the ideas. OF
severe simplicity at that time I'm favor
among the Friends
Contrary TO all precedents and In viola
ton Of accepted tenets in matters Of
dress, young mr.. Cannon appeared at
schoo! one day wearing a cap which like
the famous coat Of the first Joseph was
Of many colors. It was so different from
those Of the other boys that the master s
attention was at once attracted, and he
promptly confscated TIE offending cap,
quietly removing it from its peg.
When school was dismissed. being IN
able to find his cap and divininC the cause
for its disappearance, young Cannon,
with equal lack of ceremony. removed
from its accustomed place The high hat
of the teacher, which, although too large
hc placed on the back Of his head and
few moments later when the teacher
glanced through the window he dis
covered his precious headpiece bobbing
away among the trees on the head of
his Grant pupil
No words ever passed between them
over the incident, but the following morn
ing both the hat and cap were replaced.

TENNESSEE WOMAN LAWYER.
4 Brilliant Woman Reaches Goal
After Five-year Struggle.

From the Memphis CommerCial-Appeal.
After Il struggle covering a periJd of
FIVE years Miss Marion Griffin, one Of the
most brilliant young women In the city,
has attained the goal of her ambitions.
She was on Thursday morning enrolled
and sworn in as a member of the local
bar by James Brett. deputy county clerk,
upon an order received from Judge J. S.
Galloway. presiding officer OF the Probate
Court. before which body the petition for
her enrolment was formally presented.
Miss Griffin is connected with the law
Offices of Judge II. NJ. Scruggs, and has
been for number of years. She is a
graduate OF the law department of the
University OF Michigan. and has been ad-
mitted to the bar of that State passing
one of the most creditable examinations
on record
In the early part of 1901 she applied for
license to practice law in this state and
was granted a petition by Chancellor f.
u. Heiskell, of the Chancery Court. and
Judge /. p Cooper, who was at the time
presiding officer OF the Criminal Court
In April Of last year Miss Griffin ap-
peared before the Supreme Court. sitting
at Jackson. Tenn. and asked TO be en-
rolled as an attorney.
The court pondered over the petition for
some time. Finally a decision was rem
dered which decided that under the ex-
isting laws a woman could not practice
at the bars Of Tennessee courts.
Miss Griffin was not daunted by the
opinion Of the learned supreme justices,
She patiently waited for the oppOrtune
moment, which finally presented itself
when the pTesen Legislature convened at
Nashville. Through the influence Of Miss
Griffin and a number OF her friends,
bill was introduced and passed by both
houses, later being signed by the gov
ernor, which gives TO women the right 10
become attorneys after passing the ex-
animation of the State board OF law ex-
aminers.
This Miss Griffin did Immediately after
the bill became a law and with great
credit. She now bears the happy dis
tiHCtion Of being the first and only woman
lawyer in the State Of Tennessee Miss
Griffin is a native of Georgia, and has
been a resident OF Memphis for the last
eight years.

SUGAR MIGHT BE CHEAPER.
\ Suggested National Policy that
Would Reduce the Price.

rom the New ORR san
Including Cuba, whose interest is vital,
| four different groups are concerned by the
American sugar situation. These are %
I the American government. which receives
a little more than 100000 a year in rev
euue from the tariff on sugar; 90 our do

OF about 100000 a year. go the con-
sumner. who is interested in lower prices,
and ,D the Cubans, who are so largely
dependent upon the American market for
their livelihood, In an article in the Inter
Nation for January Mr. Edwin T. Atkins.
of Boston, the owner of a large plantation
in Cuba. works out this problem along
an interesting and probably correct line.
With general assumption Of the con-
tinuauce OF present political and fiscal
conditions, Mr.. Atkins says:
ITO all appearances our fmportations OF
foreign sugar, other than Cuban. viii soon
end. and from that time II domestic and
Cuban production keeps pace with in
creased consumption, as is anticipated, a
differential 10 Cuba would protect her
against other countries and reduce cost
to consumers in the United States" Hs
holds that the protection Of even the
Cuban rate (about 135 cents a poundl now
gives the domestic sugar producers so
large a margin &C profit that they can
well afford to drop prices below Cuba's
cost in order to market their goods" He
claims that in the almost certain event
OF the reduction of competition TO our
domestic product and Jhe Cuban product
a very material reduction could be made
in the present Dingley rate.
Should that be done two results should
follow There should be reduction in SELL
ing prices and important increase in con-
sumption The initial loss of revenue TO
the government would soon be Offset by
increase in imports from Cuba. Increased
demand should stimulate domestic pro-
duction. The Dingley rate, practically q
maximum rate. would keep out the sugar
Of other countries II Cuba were given a
differential. OF what might be regarded as
a minimum rate. This difrerentiaI would
virtually assure 20 Cuba market for
her product, and 50 divide the market be-
tween her output and our domestic sup
ply.

MARVEL THINKS IN FIGURES
Expert Accountant Solves Mathe-
matical Problems in His Head.
Doesn't Know How He Does It-Gets
Results Before Anybody Else
Can work Them Out.

Performing feats Of complex calculation
without using either paper or pencil is
what Daniel J. Sullivan. an expert &C
oountant Of 9 East Twenty-secoHd street
does every day.
It was little more than a year ago. says
the New York World. that Mr. Sullivan
who had worked at his business for
nearly fifteen years, discovered that he
could solve many problems more easily in
his head than upon paper. and he put his
ability in this line TO severe tests.
From the instantaneous addition OF
three or four sets of figures Of any size
he has developed his power until he can
row add ten and fifteen sets Of figures
at a glance.
To cube Sc accurately requires at least
ten or fifteen seconds Of figuring. but 10
AR. Sullivan it means only giving the re-
suit To cube any other number under
100 is just as easy and instantaneous.
When I add ten sets of figures instan-
taneously and without a glance at the
figures" said Mr. Sullivan, II really do
not know how I arrive at tine result.
suppose I do the adding unc0nsciously. as
one reads a paragraph without con
sciOusly spelling out each word. The re-
suit seems TO come right into its place.
and it is always right"
As 1lr. Sullivan was talking his listener
had written down on a piece CT paper this
set of figures: 7,192. S7.452. 129.623. 9gg9.
e. 497, 1851. 433, 1S2. l13. 222.777 5Sg24. and
en- less time than it required 10 write
them Mr.. Sullivan had given the result,
S41 81.
Multiplication Of one number by another
is as easily performed by Mr.. Sullivan as
the addition Of sets Of figures. Then 954.-
7Ss multiplied by 50 was the problem writ

had given the first answer he save the
result, Sf,g75 721
THE first knowledge I had of my ability
20 solve mathematical problems By q mem
tai process" said Mr. Sullivan. was
about q year ago. With a friend I had
gone to listen to a lecture by an expert
mathematician on short methods en-
ployed by accountants and bOOkkeepers.
While demonstrating some of the
points in his speech the lecturer wrote on
the blackboard several problems in addi-
ton, multiplying. squaring. and cubing
Then he proceeded to solve them by his
short methods To my surprise. 7 found
that I had the results in mind before he
was more than half through with tile
figuring
AT first 1 was not sure Of myself. and
I never took a result I obtained mentally
without first proving il by my old meth
