The Old Man Eloquent
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT was exactly 20 years ago today
Jan. "a. IS42-that John Quincy
Adams. ex-president Of the United
states and member Of congress from
Massachusetts,. presented a petition to
the house from certain citizens Of Ha-
verhfn praying thai Che union be dis
solved
For this the attempt was made to
induce the house to fix cenEure upon
him, elmer and Wise, of Virginia and
Marshall, Of Kentucky, all men Of ac-
knowledged ability, being the prime
movers Of the business
GiImer introduced his resolution Of
censure which, being privileged under
the rules, took precedence Of all other
questions and had to be considered i'm
mediately. After Gilmer's impassioned
speech to his resolution. Marshall arose
10 amend the resolution so as to make
il declare that Adams deserved expul-
sion. at the same time supporting the
motion in a speech Of wonderful abil
ity and elOquence-
Adams replied Immediately; and
scarcely was Adams off his feet before
Wise his eyes ike balls Of fire, has
thin nostrils distended TO the utmost,
making him look like thoroughbred
racer pressed by whip and spur. sprang
into the arena Wise spoke until from
quit and, the house adjOurning. spoke
fQr two hours the following day
Before Wise's words had fairly ceased
10 echo the cold Man Eloquent was
after him. Looking Wise squarely In
the eyes, Adams said. -Four or five
years ago there was a man put upon
his trial before this house for murder.

who came into it with his hands and
face stained with the blood Of a fellow
member. the blotches Of which are still
upon his cOuntenance''- to the
Graves Cilley duel
In a flash Marshall was on his feet
to defend Wise and himself. for he TOO
had received a thrust from the old
mans lance. For hour Marshall thun-
dered away, significantly eloquent. and
was followed by Wise and Gilmer, who
added their hot thunderbolts TO those
that had been hurled by the great Ken
tuckian.
While every eye was fixed on Adams
the extra ordinary old man arose and
began to reply to his adversaries He
spoke for three days, and on the 18th
day of the great trial, realizing that
his work was over and that HIS triumph
was accomplished. he slowly said 7
am ready TO go on, il necessary but
for myself 1 am satisfied" Not word
was spoken. A few moments Of deep
silence followed. and a motion to lay
the resolution of censure upon the table
was Immediately carried and the trial
was over.
Adams sat for a little while like
statue; and then, rising and glaneing
over the house, quietly said: Il have
two other petitions like that Z intro
duced a few days agO-one from New
York and he other from PENNSYLVANIA

them for a future occasion"

Dorothy Dix ! Matrimonial contract

tinual source Of discord The wife re-
bells at having her husbands mother
under her roof. The husband fumes and
frets al having his ife's mother pOking
her nose into his affairs. All of this
trouble could be avoided if the marr1-
age contract stated that neither party
would have to live with the Others
family and that family visits we're to
have q time limit upon them.
Personal liberty. that boon dearest
TO The heart Of humanity and which
is generally sacrificed in matrimony,
might also be secured by a contract
which would state in black and white
that both husband and wife retained
the right 70 their own individual re
Igion and politics. and to exercise the
privilege Of eating what they liked.
and Of having an occasional evening
off A very liberal contract might even

IT written in his contract that lbs
wife shall keep q neat home and set
force him to live in boarding houses or
hotels, and the woman has right TO
hold out for a pay envelope for her
services and not be expected to work
for her board and clothes. Also she
has a right TO stipulate that her hus-
band shall treat her with as much
politeness and consideration as he
would If she were not his wife.
Undoubtedly the thing that makes
matrimony so often a failure is its
blighting disappointment when one
finds that the husband or wife falls 50
far short of ones expectations II the
man knew beforehand that the wife
be was marrying hated children. that
she would not keep house. that she
was selfish and eXtravagant; II the
woman knew that the man was stingy

KINDLY OLD BAVARlAN RULER
Ample Reasons Why Duke Max Was
Popular Within and Without
His Dominlons.

Z Duke Max of Bavaria had no greater
delight than leaning over the counter
OF some small shopkeeper, talking Cos
sip or purchasing toys for his great
granddaughter in Austria. Innumer.
able stories are told illustrating his
character. r. H. Goldschmidt, q
wealthy banker of Frankfort, was once
journeying to Vienna. Opposite him
on the velvet cushion of the first class
car sat an old gentleman, whose dress
and looks betrayed no uncommon
rank. Are you on a pleasure trip?"
asked the bankers vis-a-vis. YES"
answered the latter. 81 am going to
visit my daughter. who, thank God.
fortunately married the Banker VIE
.ner In Vienna" How strange" re-
piled his companion; "the incentive
to visit my daughter in Vienna. Thank
God; she. too, is rather fortunately
married to the emperor of Austria"
The dukes pocketbook was open
to all. Many a poor creature In that
Catholic city told of beads for good
Duke Max" and blessed his name.
A disciple Of old Baltazarina, whose
art had once charged the ballet low
ers Of music, having grown old in her
profession. was unable to get employ
ment. In despair she wrote to Duke
Max, giving an account Of her situa-
ton. His secretary handed him the
letter with the remark: "She deserves
nothing; she has lived fast life. "
"Then," answered his highness, she
will miss her former splendor go much
the more" and, sitting down, he wrote
her a letter, enclosing money, and
signed From an admirer Of your art. !"

Theodore Roosevelt cannot possibly
be elected president of the United
States.
This is not a mere statement. IT
can be demonstrated by figures. It
can be shown that he cannot secure
the voting support which would be
necessary to give him successful
showing in Republican states.
As the popular vote for Bryan In
1905 was 6,409,1 04 and for Taft was
7,678,908, 1t is a mathematical fact
assuming that the relative strength OF
the two parties in this election Will
remain the same-that Mr.. Roosevelt
will have to get the vote Of eight out
of every ten, Republicans In the ma
ton In order to be elected. No one
believes that he can do this. 1t does
not avail to say that he will make up
the difference In Democratic votes, for
this will not be the case. The In
formation received at Democratic
headquarters shows that for every
Democratic vote going to Roosevelt
four or Ave will go to Taft.
In Illinois II will take seven out OF
every ten Republicans to vote for
Roosevelt in order to give him the
state. In Kansas 1t will take eight out
of ten, In Indiana nine out Of ten. It
is an apparent fact that he cannot
secure this large proportion Of Re-
publican votes. The percentage OF
votes In all the Republican states
