A DR.. JOHNSON STORY.
Illustrating tho Differences Between
Assertion and Argument.

Among the anecdotes of DR..
johnson is one written not by his
biographer, Boswell, but by another
contemporary, DR.. John Moore. 1t
is Illustrative of Johnson's manner
and the importance he gave to ar
gument properly conducted. DR..
Moore said that he was one of a
company at Mr.. Hoole's. Mention
was made that counsel were to be
heard in certain case at the bar
of the house of commons. One of
the company asked Sir James John
ston If he intended to be present.
Sir James answered that he believ-
ed he should not, because he paid
little regard to the arguments of
counsel at the bar of the house of
commons.
Wherefore" asked DR.. johnson,
"do you pay little regard to their
arguments, sir?"
Because" replied Sir James,
"they argue for their fee."
"What is it to you, sir" rejoined
DR.. johnson, ''what they argue for?
You have nothing to do with their
motive, but you ought to weigh
their argument. Sir, you seem to
confound argument with assertion.
But there is an essential distinction
between them. Assertion is like
an arrow shot from a longbow-the
force with which it strikes depends
upon the strength of the arm that
draws it. But argument is like an
arrow from a crossbow, which has
equal force whether shot by a boy
or by a giant"
The narrator of this incident said
the whole company was struck by
the aptness and beauty Of this illus
tration, which certainly was ex-
pressed in clear and forceful Eng
hsh and with few of the Latin de-
rivatives with which the good doc
tor delighted to ornament his SEN
tences.
One of the company said, "That
is indeed one of the most just and
admirable illustrations that / ever
heard"
"Sir," said DR.. Johnson, "the il
lustration is none of mine. You
will find it in Bacon. Exchange.

Wanted to Watch Them.

The ezar of all the Russias has

of insecurity which was entertained
by the Emperor Nicholas l., Bis
marck used to tell the following
story, which is one of Poschinger's
collected conversations With Prince
Bismarck" The court physician
had prescribed massage for some
ailment OF the czar, who, however,
was unable to find a single person
in his household to whom he cared
to intrast the task. AT his wits

Gladstone and Tobacco.

One of the few accomplishments
which Gladstone never acquired was
the art of smoking. His few at
tempts in this direction are reported
to have been dismal failures. Only
once was he known to try a ciga-
rette, the occasion being one even
ing when King Edward, then Prince
of Wales, was his guest at Downing
street. After dinner the prince de-
sired to smoke, and Gladstone, with
fine courtesy, sought to place his
guest at ease by at least Lighting
cigarette. In later years the "grand
old man" one day accused his Sec
retary of smelling of the weed. "No
wonder" was the reply. 'I've been
over half an hour with Sir William
Harcourt." "Whatl Does Har-

HIS GOLF OUTFIT.

Didn't Get caddie.
She was in the sporting Goods

looking for her husbands birthday

mind to get him some golf clubs,
although the man never had played
the game or even expressed desire

The clerk opened his eyes and

mounted to the rather pretty little
woman's face.

An Old. Old Family.

If a woman hasn't any valuable
heirlooms she must prove that she
once had a fire or she is lost. Mrs.
Lysander John Appleton hasn't any
valuable heirlooms, but she says
that a fire which once destroyed her
fathers palatial home destroyed old
quilts, old silverware, ETC., which
had been in the family hundreds of
years and which were invaluable.

sW0PE. DIED uNNATURALLY
WALSH FAILS TO SHOW DISEASE
CAUSED DEATH.
Or. Frank J. Hall, Expert PathoIoglst,
Says Uraemia Did Not Enter
Into Case, in His Opinion.

Kansas City, Feb. l6.-Col. Thomas
H. Swope did not die of uraemic poi
soning or any other natural ailment,
according TO the deposition of DR..
Frank J. Hall, expert pathologist,
taken by Attorney Frank P. Walsh in
DR.. B. c. Hyde's suit against John G..
Paxton for libel.
Walsh attempted 10 get Dr. Hall to
say that the millionaire might have
died as the resplt of uraemia. DR..
Hall, however, steadfastly refused to
assent TO this theory, and declared
that probably the cause of death could
not be determined by the autopsy.
1he physician, however. said that
the right kidney of Col. Swope was
slightly atrophied.
WAS there slight congestion Of
the spinal cord?v asked Walsh. Eyes,
there was a slight congestion, but it
was harmless in character and could
not have entered INTO the cause of the
DEATH
rs not uraemic poisoning followed
of The spinal cord?" asked Mr.. Walsh.
Yes; that is true in some cases, but
not in the death of Col. owope. Mel
ther the congestion of the spinal cord
nor the slightly atrophied kidney was
sufficient. in my estimation, to cause
DEATH"
DR.. Hall said that he had had con-
siderable experience in holding post
mortems, having held over 5000.
Where a person died of strychnine
poison, the autopsy was not sufficient
10 determine the cause Of death, he
said.

has taken fatal aose of strychnine p

time is from five minutes to two
