An Unidentified Chief Justice.

The Geneva tribunal of arbitration,
which settled the controversy between
the United States and England CON
corning the Alabama claims. awarded
damages to the former in the sum of
SIS, 500, 900. But the verdict was not
unanimous. One of the five arbitra-
tors, Sir Alexander Cockburn, of Eng
land, submitted a dissenting opinion.
For a dozen years Sir Alexander had
been lord chief justice of England, and
one would expect him to be dignified
in bearing and judicial temperament.
But all through the trial he acted more
like a petty lawyer in a Justice court
than an arbitrator In a sf.at internal
tional dispute. He differed from his
colleagues or almost every point, great
and little, and made himself generally
disagreeable. In speaking Of the clos
ing session of the tribunal Caleb Cush-
ing, one of the attorneys for the United
States, said: The instant the presi-
dent finished reading the award. and
before the sound of his last words had
died on the ear, Sir Alexander Cock
burn snatched up his hat and, without
participating in the leavetakings
around him, without a word or sign
OF courteous recognition for any of his
colleagues, rushed TO the door and dis
appeared, In the OF a criminal
escaping from the dock, rather than
of a judge separating, and that for
ever s:.14 his colleagues on Inc

The Worth of rhe uo;nA

How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ Of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
Visibly upon his forehead and In his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
OLD in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning brush. The
soul of mar is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man

How the Doctor Cured Col. Prescott

Colonel Prescott, the hero of Bunker
FILL, was q man of strong character
He had a compelling way about him
that made him a natural leader Of
men. He also had a temper that could
make itself felt upon occasion. AT
one time he was Frustrated by a des-
perate fever while IN camp, and was
attended by an army surgeon who
grossly neglected him. He grew worse
instead of better each day, and chafed
soreiy under the doctors neglect.
Finally. on one of the latter's infre-
auent visits. Prescott upbraided him
for his negligence, and told him plain
ly what he thought of such conduct.
The doctor acknowledged his negli-
gence. but frankly and brutally told
the sick man that he thought it prop
er and beet to give most of his time
and attention TO those patients there
was some hope of saving. This made
Prescott so mad that he leaped from
his bed, seized his sword and made for
the doctor. The latter did not sta to
argue the case, but fled precipitately,
thereby saving his life. incidentally,
also, he saved the life of his patient.
for the violent passion and sudden ex-
ertion seemed to break the fever. and
from that hour Colonel Prescott con
itinued to improve.

Napoleon's Feeble Son.


One would suppose hat the son VI
a man like Napoleon Bonaparte would
inherit at least some of the strong
qualities Of his father, yet such was
not the case with the Duke of Reich
stadt, the only child of Napoleon and
Marie Louisa. He was born at Paris
March 20, 1911, and was given the
proud title, King of Rome" That Ma
poleon expected great things of him
Is evidenced by his exultant exclama-
ton. Now begins the proudest epoch
of my reign!" Four years later the
Emperor left France forever. Maria
Louisa sook the boy and returned to
Austria, and the father never saw him
again. He grew up into a feeble man
hood physically, and gave no evidence
of possessing the genius of his illus
trious parent. He was made Duke of
Relchstadt. and entered the Austrian
army in early youth. He reached the
rank OF Lieutenant colonel, but this was
probably by reason of birth rather
than of merit. In 1892 he was seized
with quick consumption" and died
July % of that year. Thus the boy in
whose birth such great hopes were CEN
tered, failed utterly to fulfill them. To
his credit be 1t said, however, that so
far as known he vas a youth Of good
character, studious and amiable. 1t Is
said that the deprivation Of the society
of his boy was the heaviest cross the
emperor had to bear in his exile.
