James Bowie and His Fatal
Knife

JAMES BOWIE was one of the
y toughest and bloodthirstiest char
! acters that ever roamed our South
western frontier. He was a slave
runner, a stage-coach robber, and
| several times murderer. But with
all that, he invented a new kind
of knife that will be remembered
long after his notorious character
is forgotten.
During a street brawl in New Or
leans one night, Bowie was SER
iously slashed by someone WELD
ing heavy Mexican carving knife
The wound did not teach him to
keep out of such fights, but it did
set him to thinking about a knife
with which he could effectively de-
fend himself from such attacks. So
while he was in bed, he whitfield
out such a knife from a piece of
pine board. When he recovered, he
had his wooden knife duplicated in
steel by blacksmith.
The "Bowie" knife had a keen,
two-edged blade nine inches long
with heavy, notched handle. When
he exhibited it around town, the
other frontiersmen, who carried
long, curved Spanish a br es,
laughed at his apparently puny wea-
pom. But when Bowie got in his first
fight with it, they soon changed
their minds. When his adversary
drew back his arm to make lunge,
Bowie instantly thrust the knife in
to his abdomen and disembowelled
him before he knew he had been
struck.
Within few years, the knife and
its owner had become feared and
respected all along the frontier. No
man dared to pick a fight with Jim
Bowie. When Texas started it's re-
volt for independence, he decided
at last to go straight, and accepted
a commission as colonel in the in
surgent army. His career was
brought to an heroic end in
the bloody battle of the Alamo,
when the Texas forces were wiped
out to the last man.

Queen of Intoxicating Liquors

CHAMPAGNE is usually associat-
~ ed with bright lights, Jazz or
chestras, and Partisan revels. Yet
it was originally concocted by a
Benedictine monk, who would un-
doubtedly be Mortified could he
know the reason for champagne S
modern popularity.
Way back in 1868, Dom Perignon
was appointed cellarer and wine
keeper for his monastery. In those
days wine was an ordinary table
beverage, as it still is in France,
and considered a necessity of life.
In pursuit of his new duties, the
young monk conceived the idea of
marrying" the different wines pro-
duced in the vineyards around him.
He had noticed that one sort of
grape impaired fragrance to wine,
another generosity, and a third, COL
or. He also discovered that piece
of cork was much superior STOP
per to the old-fashioned flax dipped
in oil. By repeated experiment and
mixing, he finally evolved an effer-
vescent wine that, unlike the still
wine then known, sparkled and bub-
bled when uncorked.
After suitable aging, Dom Perig-
non allowed the other monks to
sample his new invention. To his
pleasant surprise, the popping of
corks soon became familiar sound
in the dining hall.
News of the wine soon spread to
the townspeople nearby, and within
a year, the Marquis de Sillery had
introduced it in court circles where

prevent the necessary two-thirds
vote for Chase's removal.
Although defeated in their at
tempt to GUST Chase, the Repub-
licans moved at once to repeal
the odious Midnight Judges bill'
of March Is, 1901 and thus get
rid of the new district judges ap-
pointed by Adams. Of course, the
Federalist senators raved against
this assault upon the judiciary"
They declared that judges were
entitled to a life tenure and that
the repeal of the law would wreck
the Constitution. But the Repub-
lican majority nevertheless re-
pealed the law on March 8, 1902,
thus guaranteeing six judges on
the Supreme court bench. Then,
ironically enough, the Supreme
court, composed almost entirely
of Federalist judges, upheld the
constitutionality of the repeal act
which had the effect of restoring
the much disliked circuit riding
system. incidentally, Justice
Cushing did not die, as had been
expected. He continued to serve
until 1910, so Jefferson did not
have an opportunity then to ap-
point justice.
His opportunity did not come
until 1907. In that year the de-
mand for another circuit in the
rapidly-growing new West led to
the establishment of one compris-
ing Kentucky, Tennessee and
Ohio and the addition of a sew
enth associate justice on the SUI
preme court bench. Then Jeffer-
son had an opportunity to appoint
three justices, two for vacancies
and one for the newly-created as
sociate justiceship. But he soon
found himself baked by his own
appointees. One of them, Justice
William Johnson, rebuked him
for his embargo acts and the
others joined with Chief Justice
Marshall in strengthening the
federal government in opposition

orally absolve him from that
charge. They point out that Grant
had no advance knowledge of the
nature of the decision, and that,
since virtually every state court
Except Kentucky and every
prominent Republican lawyer
held the view that the legal
tender act was constitutional it
would have been impossible for
the President to find any state
Judge or any lawyer of his own
party who differed from Strong
and Bradley in the view which
they later expressed on the SUI
preme bench.

the age of seventy years and
serving 10 years on the federal
bench could do so with pay.
This bill would have permitted
President Grant to make only
one appointment to the Supreme
court - since the membership
had not fallen below eight since
the passage of the 1866 act. When
it became effective in Deem
Der, 1869, the Supreme court was
engaged in celebrating on the
legal tender cases. The first con-
ference of the court on the case
resulted in a four to four deci-
sion. Grier suddenly shifted his
position, after an inconsistency
was pointed out to him, and the
court ruled five to three adversely
on the legal tender acts.
Rejecting His Own Baby.
One of the justices who voted
against the act was Chief Justice
Chase. AS secretary of the treas
ury in Lincoln's cabinet he had
inaugurated the policy of issuing
paper money and now as Chief
Justice he held that his own ''f-
nancial baby was illegal!
On December Is, 1869 Grier
Submitted his resignation to take
effect on February l. Meanwhile
President Grant nominated Eben-
ezer Hoar, his attorney general,
to one of the Supreme court va
cancies. But he was rejected by
the senate-before the legal tend
er decision became known. Grant
also named Edwin M. Stanton,
his secretary of war, to Justice
Grier's place but Stanton died
four days after the nomination
was sent to the senate.
On February 7, 1870, as the SUI
preme court was announcing it's
adverse decision in the legal
tender cases, Grant sent to the
senate the names of William
Strong of Pennsylvania and JOS
eph P. Bradley of New York for
the two vacancies on the court.
1t was this coincidence, plus the
subsequent events which gave
rise to charges that Grant had
packed" the court to get a re-
versal of the legal-tender deci-
sion. Four days after the con-
firmation of Strong and Bradley,
Attorney General Hoar moved for
argument of two other legal-tend-
er cases and the earlier decision
finally was reversed by a five-to-
four vote on May l, 1871, Strong
and Bradley voting with the pre-
vious minority.
Although Grant has been
charged with deliberately "pack-
ing" the court, historians gen.

Wrapped in Cellophane

T literally everything fr m
IL darning needles to oil-burning
furnaces are delivered wrapped in
cellophane. The last ten years have
seen the rise of this amazing paper
which has brought millions to it's
exploiters and a new sales argu-
ment IT, manufacturers.
The honor of its discovery be-
longs to DR.. j. E. Brandenberger,
Swiss chemist who was born in
1872 and educated at the University
of Bern. Along about 1900, while
he was working in a textile factory
in France, his boss gave him the
job of inventing a tablecloth i'm
pervious to dirt.
In trying to produce such an ideal
fabric, he stumbled on the idea of
combining very thin sheets of Wis
cose with sheets of cotton cloth.
The tablecloth was no good but the
thin sheets of viscose proved to be
swell idea. 1t was the beginning,
as DR.. Brandenberger called it, of
la cellophane.
Cellophane is essentially viscose
or modified cellulose solidified into
thin sheets instead of threads as in
rayon or artificial silk. Rayon
and cellophane are made by the
same process from the same ma
terials, and are really the same
thing except that one is in threads
and the other in sheets.
Neither rayon nor cellophane
amounted to much until way was
found to make them moisture-proof.
Since then their rise has been rapid,
although neither is yet the perfect
product it someday will be.

The Republicans Protest.


Immediately the Republicans
raised a terrific uproar. They
saw in the bill an attempt by
the Federalists, who had lost the
Presidency and congress in the
election of 1900, to entrench them
selves firmly within the judiciary,
especially in the provision for
limiting the membership of the
Supreme court to five. Sixty-nine-
year-old Justice William Cushing
was in poor health and not ex-
