Senator Morgan. who was one Of the
great orators of the upper house, spent
only three years in school, and those
in his early childhood. says n CORE
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
From 6 to 9 years Of age embraced his
entire academic training. and the most
that he learned i'll that brief schooling
was Latin. IN that one branch he was
thoroughly grounded, thanks also to
private instruction, and to it he at
tributed his remarkably ready COM
mand OF the English tongue in long
drawn out debates.
On every public question he discussed
and they were numerouS-John L.
Morgan was perhaps the best Informed
man in congress. While other leSiSla-
tive obstructionists could talk and tnlk
TO consume time. all the while saying
nothing, Morgan's speeches. without Il

memory. We're packed full of Informal

| Morgan knew more about the islands
| than any man in Washington.
When Morgan was in Paris as n
member of the Boring sea commission,
Lord Hammer, impressed by the Ala
bamiah's marvellous grasp of public
questions, asked him of what univer-
sity he was a graduate.
Il never saw the inside of uni
versfty,' was the reply.
Il beg your pardon" rejoined his
lOrdship. ''Of course not all of your
institutions of learning are called uni
versities. But what college did You
attend-what was your alma materT'
Imagine Lord Hannen's amazement
when Informed that three short years
in primary school was the nearest
Morgan ever had TO a college training.
Neither was Morgan a bookworm.

Nobody knows Origin.

Nobody knows how the game seized

The "reminiscences Of the Oldest in

memories of marble games they have
won and lost.
On Il warm day the public square
IS one big marble arena. 1t echoes
with shouts of picks" and fan" and
all the vernaCular of the game. 1t is
common to see girl of eighteen who

Business men in Sandy Hook do not
invite acquaintance to lunch at the

square for Il game Of marbles. Wo-
men in Sandy Hook society do not give
card parties. They gather their friends
and go out in the street and shoot for

ment Sandy Hook knows, and the
whole town plays it TO the exclusion of
everything else.

INSTANCES OF ENDURANCE
Made Long Distance Speaking Recorf
When Well Past Three Score
and Ten.

Six years ago, just as the Effty-SeV-
enth congress was passing into history,
Alabama's veteran statesman, the late
Senator John Tyler Morgan, made the
long distance speaking record, forced
an extraordinary session of the senate
and killed the asset currency bill OF
Senator Aldrich, who in these last
hours of congress shared the leader
York Tribune. 1t was the last night
except one of 4 rather eVcntful session.
Senator Morgan had been speaking al
most every day for two weeks on the
question OF an iSthmian canal. 1t was
estimated at the time by close observ-
altogether he had spoken more than
100000 words on this one topic. Hour
after hour he held the floor. and when
he had documents to be read he read
them himself instead of sending them
to the clerk. 1t was thought that he
would never stop on the canal and that
he could not possibly have anything

1t is not generally known perhaps
that Senator Morgan was once threat
ened with arrest for alleged completely
in the assassination Of Lincoln, says
the Washington Post.
or course Senator Morgan was not
only innocent but actually did not
hear of LincolnS death until Il week
after it had occurred. He was then a
farmer in Dallas county. his practice
of law having been prohibited by the
federal authorities. and he was plOw-
ing corn when he heard that an order
had been received by General Near
thur, ut Selma. to arrest him and send
him to Washington for completely i'll
the Lincoln assassination. Senator
Morgan went into his house, atUred
himself in his Confederate generals
uniform. with starred epaulets, belt
sword and other accoutcrmentS com
plete. Then he saddled his plow horse
and rode to Selma, where he presented
himself to General Macarthur.
