 If the reader be familiar with Mac aulay's essays, I'm sure he has not only been amazed, but amused at the mis- takes to which Macaulay calls atten- tion in the Life of Johnson. as writ ten by John Wilson Croker ILL D. The multiplicity of blunders in this biog- raphy pass understanding. We read that Derrick died in 1760; whereas. he died in 1769; that Sir Herbert Croft died in 1895: whereas. he died in 1916; that Sir William Forbes died in 1916. but he died 10 years before that date, that the great Marquis of Mentrose was beheaded at Marlborough in 1850, while the truth is the marquas was hanged. Dr. Croker says, "Jamse de Douglas was requested by King Rob- ert Bruce in his last hours to repair with his heart to Jerusalem and humb- ly to deposit it at the sepulchre of our Lord. which he did In 1929" Of this blunder. which any sch oolboy might correct, Maclulay says, Now, it Is we'll known that he did no such thing, and for very sufficient reason, be- cause he was killed by the way Nor was 1t in 1929 that he set out. Robert Bruce died in 1929 and the expedition of Douglas took place in the following year." Dr. Croker displays profound ignorance of things on this side of the sea also. He says that Burgoyne sur rendered at Saratoga in March, ITS: but 1t was the 17th of October, 1777 when General Burgoyne surrendered. Finally Macaulay concludes, Indeed, we cannot open any volume of this work in any place and turn 1t over for two minutes in any direction without lighting on a blunder."

H Suppose there is no book printed
 whose proof sheets are so careful \ ly scrutinized to detect typo graphical arrers as the Bible. The omis- sion of an article the misspelling Of a word, and incorrect punctuation may require the destruction of thousandA of copies that have come from the press. The reason for which action is patent. Yet. there have been typo eraphical mistakes in certain editions of the scriptures; mistakes of punctu- ation, as well as those where certain words have been omitted also, indeed, where wrong ones have been inserted.
 The Bug" Bible was so called be- cause of a mistranslation. Psalm XCI, fifth verse, in the translation of 1851, reads: "Thou shalt not be afraid of bogies at night" bogies being hob goblins, spectres, ghosts. etc. But when the Bible came from the printer 1t read: Thou shalt not be afraid of bugs at night"
 Later came the "Placemakers'' Bible. ''Blessed are the peacemakers," read "Blessed are the placemakers." The "Printers' Bible" was so called be- cause where David exclaims, "The princes have persecuted me without . cause" this Bible read "The print CTS have persecuted me without a cause" Everyone who writes for the press has reason to use the form of exclamation last given. To write most carefully and then to look at your composition all "balled up'' by the printer is excitiye of the thought "the printers have persecuted me without a cause" Misery loves company" and I had great deal of pleasure in see ing an article by the editor of The Age-Herald knocked out of shape only . little while back by the printer
 In the year 1852 there was publishe ed . Bible by the Cambridge Press. A negative particle was omitted from St. Pauls solemn words Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?"

without motion or vote for that pro- cedure. That was Reclamation la Cochran Byran; but on the impeach- ment of Hastings. whose speech lives? Burkes, though both Sheridan and Fox were his colleagues in that prosecu- ton.
 Perhaps the consensus is that Web ster's reply to fiayne was the great est oratfon of our federal Senate; but Webster was no 6eclaimer like Cochran or Bryan, and only the skeleton of the speech we read was delivered that day. The immediate effect was insignificant, for even that magnificent peroration was but the frame of what Webster made it in subsequent revision. Indeed Webster, was not spontaneous. Hts mind labored. His famous apostrophe to the power of England-"the drum beat heard around the world"-had been studied long before It's delivery and laid away for subsequent use.

IS A FAMOUS JUR|ST
Personal Characteristics Of John
Marshall Harlan.
Venerable kentuckian Who Recently
Celebrated the 18th Anniversary
Of His Birth Has Had
Brilliant Career.

Washington.-The dissenting opin-
ions which Justice Harlan, of the SUI
preme court, rendered in the constru-
ing of the Sherman law In the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco cases have
brought this veteran jurist prominent
ly before the public. The justice was
70 years old the other day and is still
strong and rugged. with every mental
faculty unimpaired- He has been on
the Supreme court more than a third
of century. During 33 years and 6
months he has absented himself from
the bench less than 20 days. He was
born in Boyle county, Kentucky, June
1, 1888. President Hayes appointed
him November 20, 1877.
Twenty years ago Justice Harlan
purchased a half OF a city block on q
hill overlooking Washington. and
there built fine, old-fashioned, ram
bling home of brick, with wide
porches. When he took possession an
unobstructed view of the city below
and the absence of noise and the COM
motion of city life made the spot ideal
for the home Of justice.
Although he is in the midst of the
city today, he manages to keep about
the house the atmosphere of the coun-
try. The trees which he planted In
the side, front and rear yards have
grown to maturity. A great hedge

ard sovereign remedy within your

ready for use, and as easy to apply as
cold cream or vaseline- Thousands Of
physicians enthusiastically prescribe
Resinol Ointment, and hundreds of
thousands of families depend upon it,
and are never without It. Resinol
Soap is chemically pure toilet soap
of the highest grade. 1t contains in q
modified form the same medication as
Resinol Ointment, and is recognized
as a preventive for many skin
troubles, including blackheads, chap
ped hands and pimples. There is moth
ing better for the cleansing of the
scalp and shampooiNg. 1t prevents the
falling out of the hair. 1t Is the in

the evidences of the city on all sides,

A southerner by birth and educa-
ton, Justice Harlan keeps about his
home the hospitable southern atmos-
phere. A colored butler invites the
visitor into large reception hall. The
walls are covered with portraits of
jurists or makers of the constitution,
Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson,
Marshall and a score of the fathers of
the republic. Here and there are
scattered portraits of the Harlan fam
lily A life-size bust of Justice Harlan
is in the hail.
A winding, broad staircase leads to
the study. The walls are completely
covered with yellow and red-bound
tones. There are a few big, comfort
able chairs and large desk IN the
center. Here the Ke1tucky expounder
of Blackstone does his real work and
thinking. Here the opinions are writ
ten.
Justice Harlan is big man phys
ically. Over six feet in height, his
figure is erect and his step is elastic.
When he walks he leans a trifie for
ward and takes long steps. His hair,
the little that remains, is white. The
top of his head is bald; there is a Lit.
tie hair on each side. His head is un-
usually large, and is narrower at the
front than the rear. His ears are big.
When he smiles-which is often-the
jurist emits a sort of chuckle and
shows a few-very few-teeth- He is
an inveterate tobacco chewer. He
