PROVED HIS SPELLING.
An Incident In the Career Of Stephen
A. Doualas.

An Incident In the Career of Stephen
A. Douglas.
An amusing incident occurred In Me
Lean county. ILL.,. at the first court
which Stephen y. Douglas. the famous
politician. attended after his election
as prosecuting attorney. There were
many indictments TO be drawn. writes
Professor Allen Johnson I'm his life OF
Douglas. and the new prosecuting at
torney In his haste wrote the name OF
the county Mclean Instead of Mclean
His professional brethren were greatly
amused at this evidence OF inexperi-
ence and made merry over the blunder
Finally John Il. Stuart, subsequently,
Douglas political rival. moved that all
the indictments be quashed. Judge
Logan looked ut the discounted youth
and asked what he had 10 say to sup.
port the indictments.
Smarting under the gibes OF Stuart.
Douglas replied obstInately that he
had nothing 10 say, as he supposed this
court would not quash the Indictment
until the point had been proved This
answer caused more merriment. but
the Judge decided that the court could
not rule upon the matter until the pre-
else spelling in the statute treating the
county had been ascertained.
No one doubted what the result
would be. but ut least Douglas had the
satisfaction OF causing his critics some
delay, for the statutes had to be pro
cured from an adjoining county
To the establishment of court and
bar and OF Douglas himself II appeared
that he had spelled the name correct
ly. To the indescribable chagrin of
the learned Stuart the court promptly
sustained all the indictments. The
young attorney was in high feather
and made the most OF his triumph.
The incident taught him useful les
son-henceforth he would admit moth
Ing and require his oppsaents TO prove
everything that bore upon the case In
hand.

time Dinners.
The great simplicity OF the habits
OF General Robert E. Lee was one rea-
son for his popularity with his sol
diers He Jared no better than his
troops. There were times when for
weeks the southern army had but
short rations, often doing entirely
without meat. In "The Old South
and the New" Mr.. Charles Morris tells
an amusing story Of one Of these pc
RODS OF scarcity.
On very stormy day several corps
and division generals arrived at head
quarters and were waiting for the
rain 10 abate before riding 10 their
camps when General Lees cook an
nounced dinner. The general invited
his visitors to dine with him. On re-
pairing to the table tray OF hot corn
bread. 4 boiled head OF cabbage sea
soned with n very small piece OF ba-
con and a bucket OF water constituted
the repast
The piece OF meat was so small that
all politely declined taking any. ex-
pressing themselves as very fond OF
EN+-No NobboSC COLu on
which they dined.
OF course the general was too polite
to eat meat In the presence OF guests
who had declined II. But later in the
afternoon, when they had all gone.
feeling very hungry, he called his
servant and asked him TO bring him a
piece OF bread and meat.
The darby looked perplexed and en-
barrassed and said In a deprecatIng
tone: We'll, Marse Robert, dat meat
what l sot before you at dinner

piece OF middlin' from one OF de
curriers' to season de cabbage In de
pot. and, SEEM as you was gwine to

A SHREWD LAWYER.
The Way jeremiah Mason Fioored an
Important Witness.

Jeremiah Mason, a celebrated Ameri-
can lawyer. possessed to a marked de-
gree the instinct for finding the weak
point.
He was once cross examining wit
ness who had previously testified to
having heard Mason's client make n
certain statement, and SO important
was this statement that the adverse
rvs case was based on IL alone.
Several questions were asked by Mn
son, all OF which the witness answered
with more or less hesitation. Then he
was asked to repeat once more the
statement he had heard made With
out hesitation he gave 1t word for
word as he had given 1t In the direct
examination. 4 third time Mason led
the witness round TO this statement
and again it was repeated verbatim.
Then. without warning. he walked to
the witness stand and. pointing straight
at the witness, said In perfectly un-
inpassioned voice. Lets see that pa
per yoI have Ia your waistcoat pocket"
TAKEN completely by surprise. the
witness mechanically took paper from
the pocket indicated and handed II TO
the lawyer.
There was profound silence In the
courtroom as the lawyer slowly read in
n cold. calm voice the exact words of
the witness in regard to the statement
a2d called attention TO the fact that

rel Oh the other side. He then gathered
III lis papers with great deliberation.

The paper was in the witness pocket.

The Virginia Schools.

Some encouraging facts relating
TO the building up of the school
system In Virginia we're developed
at the recent session in Newport
News of a joint convention of the
supervising officials and teachers
of our educational establishment.

July 3ist, 1908. we're %, 1872, los, As,
while three ears later they were

CONVENTION IDEA APPROVED.

The movement for holding a
State Democratic Convention be-
fore the call for the primary cleo.
ton of 1909 is meeting with wide
spread approval, and it is more
than likely that such convention
will be called and held in some
town near the center of the State.
\ number of weaknesses in the
election and primary laws of of the
State are sadly in need of correc-
ton, and especial emphasis is being
laid upon the opposition to the
prepaid poll-tax as a prerequisite
TO voting.
Another point which, in our
mind, needs correction is that phase
of the primary law under which
any number of of candidates NAV
stand for nomination to one Office
and the one receiving the greatest
number eff votes (even though it
may be little more than one-third
OF the total is declared the nominee.
That particular point will, if not
amended, result very shortly in
either bolt from the primary by
defeated candidate, or the refusal
to enter the primary by some man
who Is ambitious for high office.
In either event he will probably
run on an independent ticket-and
will, in all probability, be elected.
Such an occurrence will kill the
primary "deader than Hector's
pup"
Another strong reason for the
ante-primary convention is the
need Of stock taking" by the en-
tire Democratic party of the State.
Something is radically wrong
somewhere in our party TO cause
such Independence" of the voters
as we have seen in the last few
campaigns, and the cancer should
be removed.
The anie-primary convention
will be of great and lasting benefit
to the party, we think, and should
be held as early in 1909 as possible.

under-paid. In 1905 the aggregate
sum paid in salaries TO teachers
was 81. 749, 516.1s. while in 1905 IL
is -. 1886, 044.T3. or more than 80
per cent. But an even more note
worthy evidence of educational
interest is shown in the better pro-
vision for education in the inn
provement and increase of the
educational plants of the State.
The sum spent for realty and build
ings in 1905 was Sl72,030, and in
1905, $3.50. 992. ~. an increase of
about 135 per cent. In single
year the enrolment of pupils in
creased over 5000 for the whites.
The number of high schools has
increaSd In n single year from
2lS TO 229, even with a more rigid
standard of equipment for such
schools. The number of transpor-
tation wagons has increased In
three years from IL TO more than
40. These wagons are utilized in
transporting pupils to high schools
and consolidated schools, and show
the enhanced interest in higher
education and in school attendance
generally.
There Is every reason to believe
that the next General Assembly
will be as liberal in educational
appropriations as the last was alto
geather there are good grounds for
congratulation in the progress re-
Gently made and that of which there
is sanguine promise in the immedi-
ate future. No money spent in
any secular direction is so we'll ex-
pendid as that which goes to the
training of our youth for the duties
of citizenship and none repays so
rich dividend to the State.
