A DR.. JOHNSON STORY.
illustrating the Difference 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. It
is illustrative Of Johnson's manner
and the Importance he gave to ar
gument properly conducted. DR..
Moore said that he was one of
company at Mr.. Hoole's. Mention
was made that counsel were to be
heard in a 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,
edo 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 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 boy
or by 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
fish and with few of the Latin de-
rivatives with which the good doc
tor delighted to ornament his SEN
fences.
One of the company said, ''That
is indeed one of the most just and
admirable illustrations that I 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 car of all the Russias has
never felt safe or at home among
his subjects. To show the feeling
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 car, who, however,
was unable to find a single person
in his household to whom he cared
to intrust the task. At his wits
end, he at last applied to Frederick
William ". for a few noncommis-
stoned officers of the Prussian guard.
These were sent and after the COM
pletion of the rubbing cure returned
to Berlin heavily laden with pres
ents.
$50 long as I can look my Rus
slams in the face" said Nicholas,
call is well, but | will not risk let
ting them work away at my back"

His Son Andy.

DIR. Andrew j. McCosh was in his
college days a famous athlete. He
could run faster, kick a football far.
Their and jump higher than any man
in Princeton. Publicly his father, Pres
ident McCosh, took no notice of An
dy's achievements. That he privately
rejoiced in his sons prowess the stu
dents learned in this way:
Jimmy. as the president was famil-
iarly called. though exceedingly cour-
teous, was given to fits of abstraction
in which he entirely forgot his sur
roundings.
Once at a reception in his home. ap-
parently forgetful Of all the world, he
was pacing up and down the room
with head bent and hands interlocked
behind his back. Suddenly he walked
up before young lady and asked:
"How tall are ye?"
In an embarrassed way she replied,
"Why, doctor, I'm-I'm five feet two
inches"
'NIe son Andy could jump over yer
head" said the doctor and immediate.
" resunc al his walk.

We regret to see a DISPOSE
tion on the part Of a few of
our young people to quit

district school to the high

too much. If you desire to
become a mechanic instead of
an engineer or farmer, an

during the meal. looked over at him
once more and said.
''YOu haven't changed q bit since
you starting eating. have you. Mr.. Cur
tis?"
"Why, no." laughed the visitor.
"Why do you ask that question:
Because blurted out Willie, con-
fused by the pairs OF eyes focused on
him" because | heard pa say you'd

you got your eyes on this feed"

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This Ad-
Vice n the Generous Offer That
Goes With IL.

The number of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names, ana it is a
Fact that most of these diseases are of
catarrhal nature. A woman cannot
he well if there is a trace of catarrh
in her system.

no woman should hesitate to believe
oW honesty of purpose, or hesitate TO
put our claims to a test.
There Is only one way to overcome
catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more han temporary
relief at best. Catdrrh in general is
u diseased condition of the system
that shows locally most frequently in
discharges from mucous membranes.
Local treatment should be assisted
by internal treatment for the general
diseased condition il a COM
plcte cure is to he reached. That in
ternal treatment should be scientific
