PROVED his SPELLING.

An amusing incident occurred in
Mclean county, ILL.,, at the first court
which Stephen A. Douglas, the ia
nous politician, attended after his elec-
ton as prosecution attorney. There
were many indictments to be drawn,
writes Professor Allen Johnson in his
life of Douglas, and the new prosecu-
ting attorney in his haste wrote the
name of the county Mclean instead
of Mclean. His professional breth-
rem were greatly amused at this evil
dence of inexperience and made merry
over the blunder.
Finally John T. Stuart, subsequent
ly Douglas political rival, moved that
all the indictments be quashed.
Judge Logan looked at the discounted
youth and asked what he had to say
to support the indictments.
Smarting under the gibes of Stuart,
Douglas replied obstinately that he
had nothing to say, as he supposed
the court would not quash the indict-
ments until the point had been proved.
This answer caused more merriment
but the judge decided the court could
not rule upon the matter until the
precise spelling in the statute creating
the county had been ascertained.
No one doubted what the result
would be, but at least Douglas had
the satisfaction of causing his critics
some delay, for the statutes had to be
procured from an adjoining county.
To the astonishmeDt of court and
bar and of Douglas himself it appeared
that he had spelled the name correct
ly. To the indescribable chagrin oi
the learned Stuart the court promptly
sustained all the indictments. The
young attorney was is high feather
aud made the most of his triumph.
The incident taught him useful les
son-henceforth he would admit moth
ing and require his opponents to prove
everything that bore upon the case IN
hand.

After the conversation mas continued
in this strain for quarter Of an hour,
John probably begins to make short

finishes his hour of practice or not.
He is as likely as not to wind up the

tactfully given, are all help. But
no one is ever helped by nagging.

THE COLD BATH.

In paper read at meeting of an
association for the study of tuberculo-
sis an eminent doctor said that one of
the curious facts connected with the
practice of the cold bath in the morn
ing is that so many of its votaries
positively declare that they enjoy it.
He contends that they do not and can
not enjoy it.
The doctor is doubtless right as far
as he goes, but he does not go far
enough. He misses the main point,
perhaps the only point worth empha-
sizing.
There is abundant reason to believe
that the most curious fact connected
with the cold bath in the morning is
that so many people who insist that
they enjoy it do not take it. There
is vicarious atonement, and there is
also vicarious bathing, and it is very
easy matter to enjoy bath that is
not taken, the bath of somebody else.
Almost anybody gifted with little
imagination can sing the praises of a
cold bath in the morning. There are
the pleasnrable, even delightful, shud-
ders of the first dip and splash the
brisk rub with coarse crash towel
the warm, healthgiving glow the
new man feeling, exhilerating, up
lifting, as one gets into his attire for the
days work, and, above all, the sense
of cleanliness impaired bv the cold
bath every morning.
And it is equally easy to take acold
bath every morning. It only remains
to turn on the hot water faucet and
enter the tub. Or both faucets may
be turned on and, without enterirO
the tub, he may stir the water vioiensss
with his hands, draw long breaths
and shiver, not perceptibly, but audi
bly,. 1t will all sound remarkably
lifelike, this performance, wonderful
ly like taking cold bath. Even an
alert and suspicious sentinel, stationed
at the door, his ear delicately attuned
to what is going on within, may be
readily deceived by the cold bath ir
the morning
Contemplate, some broiling August
forenoon, the man who tells you that
he fairly revels in the cold bath on
winter mornings as he gingerly steers
his bare feet through the ripples that
are lazily tapping the beach at a shore
resort and believe in him and trust him
if you can. Watch him advance as
if he were going to meet his doom,
hesitate, glance shoreward longingly,
retreat, immersing slowly, reluctantly
inch by inch. Suddenly he remem-
bers that he must wet his head if he
would avoid a chill, and he pauses to
shampoo his hair in the sad sea waves
this hero of a thousand frigid baths
on thousand frozen mornings
AS a matter of fact, what man
may do alone with his sponge in his
bath-roo no other man may know,
and what he pretends he does may be
as false as dicer's oaths, ~ Pr0gs-
dence Tribune.

ACTIONS THAT SPEAK.


A thinly clad young man was walk
ing along the city street one winter
morning, eating peanuts from five
cent sack in his coat pocket in lieu OF
breakfast. when he saw a number
of boys trying to attract the attention
of a flock of hungry pigeons in the
street by tossing cracked crumbs at
them. He stopped and Joined in the
fun by shelling some of his peanuts,
breaking the kernels into small pieces,
and throwing them on the pavement
near the birds.
Recognizing new benefactor, they
focked around him, eagerly picking
up his offerings, but keeping an eye
on him meanwhile, prepared for in
slant flight in the event of his becom-
ing too familiar. Long experience
had taught them to be suspicious of
strangers.
STOPPING down and holding a tempt

At first they shrank back, but pres

BILE, the old bird soon came back, and
was rewarded with another choice bit
of peanut. The other pigeons speed
lily followed the example.
"That's more than they do for any
of u.s. said one of the boys.
The young man gave the pigeons
about half his stock of peanuts, and
then Strengthened up.
"That's all 1 can spare you this
time," he said, starting away.

CALVARY.

BY GEORGE E. TACK.
Calvary. speak to my heart
Down DER the waste of years;
Comfort when tears upstart,
And grant surcease from fears.
Let me but hear again
Father. forgive. pray
They who my foes have been
Lead in the blessed way.
Just as little child
Seeking for love and home,
Lost in the by-w ways wild
On through the dark doth roam.
So all the earth night drear,
On through its lanes of Elm,
Cropping with dread and fear,
Seeking loves wayside inn.
Ever my soul ran far,
Lost in the gathering gloom,
Or led by flaming star
That lured me far from home.
Calvary, sing me song
Sweet with the love of God,
The triumph of right DER wrong,
OF peace meath the chast'ning ROD.
Calvary love divine.
Hung there is guerdon bright,
Calling this heart of mine
Up to its lofty height.
Sing of the mighty One,
Gentle because so great,
Who from His Fathers throne
Came to our low estate.
Weary and fOOtsOre He
Ever the earth did roam,
Calming the heart and sea,
Leading the exiles home.
Calvary. whisper low.
Of pain and aching heart;
OF deep spearthrust and blow,
And death with cruel dart.
Sing of the patient One.
Who bowed His head and died;
OF the immortal conflict won
And the saved one by His side.
Tell in triumphant tones
OF life beyond the Somb;
OF temple whose sparkling stones
Are brought from the graves deep gloom.
Point me to Heaven above
And then to earth afar,
That may seek In love
Souls for life's morning star.
Out of impenetrable gloom,
Filled with ineffable light,
Flash DER the sullen tomb
Thy beams of glory bright.
Flash to the waiting race
A message for aching hearts,
To lead from earth's dark ways
And clangor and glare of marts.
