young McCarln often went weeks
without seeing or speaking to any hui

without seeing women. While eat

fell into his hands on the ranch. After
taking an irregular literary course, he
graduated in law from the university
! in 1894, and was Immediately admitted
to the Nashville bar. T.. .s

of Mr. McCarn's public talks as he
calls them, is the direct and natural

often enough as he rode the range
from 1877 to 1888. He was familiar

every summer. and was familiar with
the character of the men on the trail.

still bears scars and marks of broken
bones and other serious results from
the strenuous life on the plains. {:
Twenty years ago Jeff McCarn came
to Nashville, this being the state of
-fa+fhersa- uatfvftty, a stranger. AT
rthat time there was not man east
of the Mississippi that he had ever
seen, but he has made friends here
since then. He entered upon the prac-
tice of his profession at the conclusion
Of his college course in 1894, and this
vas done with the same confidence
and courage that has marked the
course of his entire life. His conf.
dence has been justified.
Mr.. McCarn married the only daugh.
ter of the late Chancellor Andrew Al
lison, and remained in Tennessee tt
adopt Nashville as his home. He is
recognized as a post-purandial orator,
8 wit and lawyer of ability.

life would parallel that of the hero of
any romance His boyhood was spent
on a ranch on the upper Colorado and
Concho rivers, to which place he went
when scarcely more than child in
1876.
The editor of the Epworth Era, in a
sketch of Mr.. McCarn's life, published
IL that paper the following interesting
facts:
Jeff McCarn is a name already fa-
miliar to many of the friends of city
reform throughout the contry. He is
a comparatively young man. of scarce,
ly more than medium height, of mild
manners, has pleasant voice, and
carries himself with the diffidence OF
a boy. But Jeff McCarn has made the
whole gambling fraternity of the caDi-
tai city of Tennessee tremble in its
places of hiding. 1t is lite to be
doubted that the Influence started by
this quiet young lawyer and those
whom he has represented is largely to
be credited with the present strong
end determined antfgambling senti
trent now prevailing in the state OF
Tennessee and which has it's intensive
center in Nashville. When the fam.
GUS committee of 100 was organized in
1903, Jeff McCarn was employed as
it's attorney and served in that capa'
city as long as the committee was act
i've. The career of that committee
and its attorney would make most

DUELLING IS Still
THRIVING In
GERMANY
nv Latest MALL

BERLIN In the twentieth century
the duel is still a thriving social in
stitution in Germany. Affairs of honor
are far more numerous than the news
papers would lead us to suppose. Only
duels between officers, which usually
end in the death of one of the COM
batants, or between antagonists or
some note, get into the papers. Duel
ling in the army is really rare. The
protests we hear in the Reichstag
against the abuse of the duel in the
army usually have to do, not with a
fight. but with the enforced resigna-
ton of some officer because he declin-
ed to fight. In most cases he is a
reserve officer; for man who was re-
solved eon moral or other grounds not
to fight a duel would hardly take the
trouble to become an active officer.

Sir Edward Grey lost almost all the
prestige he had won by his foreign
diplomacy.
Winston Churchill made no such
mistake. and by silence put himself in
the direct line to become the first son
Iof an American mother to be prime
minister of the United Kingdom. He
rose to an amazing pinnacle of re-

ing grown accustomed to the daily in

lown party against the honesty of cabi-
net ministers, asked harmless little

other newspapers of his own party for
daring to suggest that such praise

of such an action.
In the eulogies which this incident
evoked from his political foes
Churchill, with his quick intuition,
scented danger. Lloyd-George had
been acquitted by the house of COM
mons of any dishonorable action. 1t
was now time for the first lord to
speak. Continued silence and too
much praise from his opponents
might hurt him with his own support
ers. So at the love feast which the
Liberal party organized the other day
to celebrate the rehabilitation of
Lloyd George, there duly appeared
Winston Churchill He made just the
kind of speech his party wanted. With
l all the fervor that marked his former
electioneering speeches he cham
pioned the cause of the maligned
chancellor of the excheQuer. But he
was no longer the disciple. He was
the apostle, magnanimously urging
the country to overlook the minor
fault and still believe in the splendid
qualities of the man who took little
fiutter in Marconis. Lloyd-George
must have writhed under the right
eous patronage, but it was so cleverly
done that it could not be resented.

To say that the old conservative

character, which has endeared him
to exalted and humble alike, is the
extreme simplicity of his life and his

clergy at large, has found few sym
