the senatorial succession may cut con-
siderable figure in the political life Of
some person.
For instance. suppose Senator Hoke
Smith is named to succeed himself in
the primary of 1914. When the matter
of filling the four-months vacancy
comes up it will be for Governor Slaton
to say whether he will appoint Mr..
Smith or some one else to the four
months term
If Mr. Smith Is named in a primary
as his own successor to a full term, the
presumption will be-say vou?-that
Governor Slaton viii name him senator
for the short term.
Maybe s0-but there is this: When
Senator Smith was elected senator by
the Legislature, he declined 10 permit
Mr.. Slaton to commission him. He
commissioned himself, as about the last
official act of his term in the govern
orship MI Slaton succeeded to the
governorship few minutes afterward.
Mr.. Smiths friendship for Mr.. Slaton
was, at the moment, at rather low eob.
1t might occur to Governor Slaton
that Senator Smith would find It equal
~ as distasteful to accept Il Slaton-
signed commission two years hence, as
he made it plain that he so found It
year or so ago.
There may be much far fetched spec
ulation in this-still, It sets up stu
alton that is by no means impossible.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The naval

Senator Bacon has been named in a

legislature, which must elect him Off

til four months after his present term

as his own successor by appointment

fee was admirably stated by Ruskin
in his "Crown of Wild Olive" Writing
of doctors, he said: "They like fees, no
doubt-ought to like them-yet if they
are brave and well educated the entire
object of their lives is not fees. They,
on the whole, desire to cure the sick
and-if they are good doctors and the
choice were fairly put to them-would
rather cure their patient and lose their
fee than kill him and get it. And so

HELD COURT IN A RIVER.
The Attorney Was In Hurry, and the
Judge Was Accommodating.


Judge Was Accommodating.
To act in legal capacity while en-
joying a morning swim-surely a
unique record in the annals of law
once fell to the lot Of Vice Chancellor
Shadwell.
The then Duke of Newcastle had
commenced to cut down, the timber at
Clumber in such rapid and wholesale
manner as to raise the anger of his
eldest son, Lord Lincoln, who, finding
expostulatiOn useless, turned to the
law and sought an injunction to re-
strain his father. Although it was
long vacation, he ordered his solicitor
to press matters forward, for the mag
nificent trees were falling at an alarm
ing rate.
So up to town posted the attorney
and had the affidavits drawn up the
same night. The following morning
he repaired to the vice chancellor
house on the banks of the Thames, to
find on his arrival that the chancellor
had gone for his mornings swim.
With exemplary presence Of mind be
chartered boat and after a stiff pull
came up with the judge and at once
stated his case. Meanwhile the vice
chancellor trod water and, on the in
junction being formally applied for,
granted it forthwith and resumed his
swim.-Tit-Bits

SAVED A DOUGLAS.
Sir William Ramsays Quick Wit at the
Battle of Poitiers.

DdItle OF ToiItcFS.
In the battle of Poitiers Q356) a num-
ber of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French, and several of them
were taken prisoners by the English.
Among them was Sir Archibald Doug
las. Being dressed in a suit of splendid
armor, the svictors thought they had
captured-as indeed they had some
great nobleman. Several of the Eng
lish were about to strip off his armor
when Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie,
who was also a prisoner, happening to
catch Sir Archibald's eye, gave him a
meaning look.
Pretending to be very angry, he cried
out: "You rascal, how is it that you are
wearing your masters armor? Come
here and pull off my boots~ Douglas,
seemingly thoroughly cowed, went
humbly forward and drew off a boot,
with which Sir William began to beat
him. The English onlookers at once
interfered on Douglas behalf, saying
that he was person of great rank and
a lord.
"Whatw shouted Ramsay. "He a
lord? Why, he is a base knave and, l
suppose, has slain his master. Go, you
villain, and search the field for the
body of my cousin, your master, and
when you have found it let me know,
that may give it decent burial"
All this was acted so naturally that
the English allowed Ramsay to ransom
the pretended manservant for 40 shil-
lings. The money having been paid,
Sir William gave Douglas another
thrashing and then bade him begone.
Sir Archibald lost no time in effecting
his escape. which he owed solely to the
Of his friend.

The prophet certainly seems to have
made a record bad shot. For, as the

than give hopes of peace. particularly
the several configurations do very
much threaten Holland with a most
strange and unusual loss at sea, If
they shall dare to fight his majesty's
