1872. when he was dominated for the
Presidency al. a convention held in
Louisville, KY, which represented
that portion of the Democratic party
which was unwilling to support Ho-
race Greedy for President. Mr..
O'Conor declined the honor, but was
nominated and voted for in spite of
his resignation. He received about
80, 900 votes. A year later he gained
even wider prominence as the senior
counsel employed in the prosecution
of the Tweed ring conspirators. The
success of these prosecutions was in
great measure due to Mr. O'Conor's
work.
For many years Charles O'Conor
was retained in leading and sensa-
tional litigation, one of the most con-
spicuous of which was the famous
Edwin Forrest divorce suit, Yet,
notwithstanding Mr.. o'Conors prom
inence as a lawyer and the wealth
which he gained In the practise of this
profession, he was a man OF the ut
mos simplicity of life. This char
acteristic was especially noticeable
in the arrangement of his law offices
In New York city.
When ] was a law student | used
occasionally to visit Charles O'Conor
in his offices, which were established
in a building called "Jauncey Court.
This was as quaint a building as
could be found even in the Inns Oh
Court London, where the lawyers IN
former times were accustomed 10
have their offices. A ramshackle
staircase on the outside offered the
only means of entering the building
or of departing from 1t. In a suite
of two or three rooms, one of which
opened directly on this little stair
case, the pre-eminently great lawyer,
Charles O'Conor, had his offices.
| often noticed that 1t was about De
| bare of furniture as the cell or a
monk. What there was was of the
rudest and of the most commonplace
description. The floor Of the offices
was covered with fine sand, and any
body who went In there always
brought out footprints which he left
on the stairs. In the office itself there
were true footprints in the sand.

pretty we'll acquainted with him, so
that one day I ventured to say to
him.
"'Mr. O'Connor, you have the most
sparsely furnished law offices in New
York Why, even some of the Tombs
lawyers have more richly furnished
offices. But what puzzles me is why
you sand your floor instead of having
a rug or carpet upon it|
HE looked at me with most
whimsical smile and there was a
merry twinkle In his eye as he said:
My boy, clients are not afraid to
come to me II I have sand upon the
floor but IL ] were to put carpet
upon the floor Of my offices they
would be so disconnected that they
might desert me- and they certainly
would have their minds distracted
from the business which brought
them to me. I don't know what other
lawyers may think. but l find that

ture for my office

This would be a much quieter and
altogether a better world If there
were no gabblers in it. In these days
of motorcar mufflers and sane
Fourth ordinances one marvels that
none has invented means OF sup
pressing the loud-mouth. This is not
the suggestion of envy. Few people
are jealous of the fellow whose
tongue is loose at both ends. He may
command APPLAUSE for a time, but
sooner or later everybody but the
offender realizes that he is a public
nuisance. He has but one proper
use, that of the ballyhoo, and no
body takes a ballyhoo seriously
that is, nobody but the ballyhoo.
II you have the loud-mouth habit
cut it out. You are not only offensive
to others, but you are working your
self positive injury. In the first
place, it's a psychological fact that
your brain can't work well if your
tongue is constantly in motion. The
man who raises his voice to drown
out the voices of others evinces bad
breeding and enlists for himself
multitude of contemptuous enemies.
Moreover, he advertses his mental
vacuity. If he had horse sense, he
wouldn't do it.
Don't worry if your neighbour insists
upon monopolizing the conversation
for the setting forth of his fancied
virtues Excuse yourself and let him
find another victim. He may fool
part of the community for a little
while, but he won't fool much of it

your rival, he'll soon take himself
out of the way. There was an acrid
old fellow once who prayed that his
enemy might write a book. Now

Emma Lazarus, who was born, I'M
New York city sixty-four years ago
today, is probably the most loyal
woman of her race who ever lived in
this country. At II she published her
first book and devoted the remain
der of her life OF thirty-eight years to
literary work in behalf of her race.
She was greatly influenced by Elmer
son and was, for many years, a most
interested correspondent and friend
of that famous thinker. The perse-
cution of the Hebrews in Russia in
1879 kindled her interest in her down
trodden race and she did all she could
to rouse the sympathy of her fellow
men and women for these unfortu-

mates. she published a series of
"Epistles to the Hebrews" soon after
this, In which she carried on a plea
for the Americans ito return to the
various pursuits and broad systems
of physical and intellectual education
of their ancestors" to relieve the
sufferings of Hebrews in other parts
OF the world and to make closer
study OF Hebrew history and litera-
ture than was general at that time.
One OF her most able works was a
drama, 1.-The Dance to Death" found
ed on the persecution of the Jews In
the twelfth century. She died in 1899.

THE THERMOMETER
The thermometers have caused
more suffering and unhappiness IN
hot weather than the heat itself.
Not one man in five who goes and
rubbers at thermometer every
twenty minutes believes in 1t, but it
has Its psychological effect upon him
just the same.
He will look at the thermometer
and then he will turn away disguise
ed and mutter: II know it Is
blamed sight hotter than that"
ut is 9s,'' says the Thermometer.
you're liar" says the man. Tt
is lis and / know It."
But q few moments afterwards he
is back staring at the thermometer.
An interesting experiment in Their
mometers may be had in a drug
store where there are forty or fifty
of them arranged on board for ad-
vertising purposes; thermometers
that are for sale.
Says the druggist: These Their
mometers are the best that money
can buy. They are absolutely cor
rect"
You look at the board more closely
and you will find that the first Their
mometer registers SO, the next one
90, the next one 80 possibly the fourth
one registers rs and there may two
or three in the bunch that will regis
ter above the hundred mark. It is a
safe bet that no two of them will
register quite the same.
You naturally buy the THERMOMETERS
that registers lowest. II you are go
ing to order your life by a therrnom-
eter all summer you want one that
will keep you as cool as possible.
You don't expect to believe in 1t very
much when you buy 1t, but a Their
mometer has come to be q necessity
in the home like jar OF goldfish or
patent mop wringer that won't
work.
One Of the best things to do with
thermometer in hot weather is to
| hit 1t in the face with brick, not
| peevishly but firmly, or else hang 1t
down in the we'll or in the cellar
where it will keep nice and cool Or
hang it in the ice box and go and
look at it once in awhile.
