HIS FLIGHT OF ORATORY.
The Cause Wat Lowly, but th Lew
. flyer's Plea W Eloquent.;: -
The wit and wisdom of members of
the bar are acknowledged in all circles;
and the following example, recorded in
M. McDonnell Bodkin's book. "Recol
lections of an Irish Judge," is certainly
worthy of being preserved: '.-'l-'it1
"A certain barrister appeared to sup
port an application before the recorder
of Dublin for a license for a public
houses The applicant was only twenty
five years old, and the recorder re
marked that be was very young for so
responsible a position. ' The resource
ful advocate rose majestically to the
occasion and said:
"'My lord. Alexander the Great at
twenty-two years of -age bad crushed
the lllyrians and razed the city of
Thebes to the ground, had crossed the
Hellespont at the bead of his army,
bad conquered Darius with a force of
a million In the defiles of Issus and
brought the great Persian empire un
der bis sway. At tweuty-tbree Rene
Descartes evolved a new system of
philosophy. At twenty-four Pitt was
prime minister of the British empire,
on whose dominions the sun never
sets; At twenty-four Napoleon over
threw tbe enemies of the republic with
a whiff of grapeshot in tbo streets of
Paris, and Is It now to be judicially
decided that at. twenty-five my client,
Peter MulligRn, Is too young to man
age a public house In Capel street?1."
PLEASING A SULTAN.
Why a Piece of Spanish Musio T'okiad
the Oriantal Autoorat. i , ;V
. Euid Belton some years ago told the
following story, which illustrated ex
actly tbe attitude of the sultan of Mo
rocco at that time toward the French:
' One day the suK.an asked a lady, tbe
wife of his dentist, to play one of the
pianos .that. were In the .room, at, the
palace. She played several pieces, one
of. them. at length catching the sultan's
fancy, whereupon the' following little
dialogue took place: ' ' . '' ':
Sultan That piece is Very nice. What
ta'ltcaJled?'-'--- ---'-"
Dentlstr-lt is the "March on Cadia.''
It was written, to, commemorate , the
Spaniards, driving the French opt of
Spain. ' '' '"-.-! I '-''
Sultan What! Were i'the" French" 111
Spain? .,., .,' i
Dehtist-Yes." , :
Saltan How mnuy of tbem? i ':''
' Dentist About 200,000. " - s
Sultan (in a surprised-tone) And tiie
Spaniards drove tbem out?
Dentist Yes, every one of them. .
There was a slight pause while the
sultan was thinking hard, ftnd then:
' Saltan (quietly) Play It again. Dun

. Bernard Shaw's Exouse.
Bernard Shnw was invited to n ban
quet in hoi.or of tue sculptor Rodin.
He sent tbo following letter as bis ex
cuse for not attending:
"For mo a banquet to Rodin Is quite
superfluous. I have already taken
measures to assume immortality for
myself by nttaeliing my name to that
of Rodin. Henceforth in every ency
clopedia you will read. 'Bernard Shaw;
subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise
unknown.'
. "If the bust is lost, broken or spoiled,
so much the better for me," be con
tinues. "They will speak of the 'lost
Bernard Shaw of Rodin.' ns today they
speak of the lost Athens of Phidias.
Nothing can be more beautiful than
the statues which no one ever saw.
Therefore 1 have dono all that is neces
sary. 1 can get along without ban
quets. You will only be Rodin's hosts.
I have the honor to be bis model."

. An interesting light is thrown on the
longevity of the trees that grow along
tbe timber lino of the Rocky moun
tains by Mr. Enos A. Mills In bis
"Hocky Mountain Wonderland." ; He
says:
A few Umber line trees live a thou
sand years, but half this time Is a ripe
old age for most of tbe timber line
veterans. The age of these trees can
not be judged by their size or by tbeir
general uppearauce. There -may be
centuries of difference In the ages of
two arm In arm trees of similar size.
1 examined two trees that were grow
ing within a few yards of each other
in tbe shelter of a crag. One was
fourteen feet high and sixteen Inches
In diameter and bad 837 annual rings.
Tbe other was seven feet high and five
Inches lu diameter, and bad lived 402
years.
, Ose day by the sunny and sheltered
side of a bowlder I found a tiny seed
bearer at an altitude of 11,900 feet.
How splendidly unconscious it was of
its sice and ita utterly wild surround
ingsl This brave pine bore' a dainty
cone, yet a drinking glass would have
completely boused both tbe 'tree and
ita fruit. (
Convening With "Ghoata."
Some scientists of . real eminence
have accepted tbe postulate of the in
dividuality and self consciousness of
the soul after tbe death of the body
and nave attempted to ' demonstrate
their belief by asserting' communlcfi;
tion with these disembodied spirits-"
Sir William Crookes, a profound Reiv
er In chemistry pertaining to radio-activity,
asserted years ago that he had
communication with souls of dead
friends, but for several years be has
been silent aneut this matter. Camllle
Flamninrion, a rather speculative and
sensational astronomer, declares that
be has seen and conversed with tbe
"ghosts" of dead friends. Professor
William James, brother of Henry
James, tbe novelist, promised before
be died that tf possible be would com
municate with his friend Professor
Hyslop, both eminent psychologists,
but at Inst accounts the soul of Profes
sor James bad not spoken. Exchange.
vent is taken to mean that the travel
ing salesmen are beginning to get
busy with the advent of the new year.
Tom Johnson went over to Union
today and will arrange for a shipment
of three cars of hogs from that place
which will go out with the regular
Saturday stock special.
Although the railroad is practically
clear of snow blockades - trains are
still arriving from a few minutes to
an hour late, on account of the dif
ficulty in making the schedule time.
A rotary was sent up the hill today,
as usual. Taking the entire situa
tion ''by and large" the (running time
of trains has been as regular as could
reasonably be expected.
