V HI Humorous Tales Gathered Here and There, Reminiscences of the Ready Wit of Senator Green How He Cajght ihd Know Nothings Ths Trouble With General Clark's Head Governor Stone's First Victory at Law. Wouldn't Euck the General Govern ment A Juror Excused. Copyright, 1902. by Champ Clark. Horace Greeley, editor, philosopher, Statesman and orator, once said, "Fame is u vapor." Of all sorts of fame po litical fame is the most evanescent. James G. Blaine says in his book, the greatest book ever written in Ameii:a, in speaking of James Stephen Green of Missouri: "No man among his contemporaries in the senate had made so profound an impression in so short a time. He was a very strong debater. He had peers but no master in the senate. Mr. Green on the one side anil Mr. Fessen deu on the other wore the senators whom Douglas most disliked to meet and who were the best lilted in readi ness, in accuracy, in logic, to meet him. Douglas ran !y had a debate with either in which he did not lose his temper, and to lose one's temper in de bate is generally to lose one's cause. Green had done more than any other man in Missouri to break down the power of Thomas II. Denton as a leader of the Democracy. His arraign ment of Benton before the people of Missouri in IS-t'.), when he was but thirty-two years of age. was one of the most aggressive and successful war fares in our political annals. Ills pre mature death was a loss to the coun try." : Caurjht the Knew Nothings, i Notwithstanding Green's splendid 1 genius anil the brilliant promise of his youth, he is almost completely forgot ten. It is doubtful if the' country ever contained a greater stumper than he. ; Tho Hew V. V. McMurray once ac companied me on a speechmaking trip to Shelby villo. Mo. Returning, he said: : "The immense audience you had to i night reminded me cf the crowds that used to turn out to hear Jim Gretn. In the Know Nothing days Given began a : speech in the courthouse in Sh-Toyr-ll? I before an audience matle up of about half Democrats and half Know Notli- m5s- a aware. fact of which he was ful'y On rising to speak he stieteh- ed his tall form to its extreme height and. looking solemn as an owl. iid. 'I take it for granted that there are no Know Nothings here.' whereupon every Know Nothing in the house yelled cut: 'You're mistaken' 'We're ail here" Green replied. 'F am glad to hear it, for, like my Lord and Master, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to re pen ".a nee.' " Made a Failure. Brother McMurray continued'r.s fol lows: Once Green and Judge J. J. Lind'ey, an exceedingly brilliant lawyer, were trying a small case on opposite sides in the court of a justice of the peace. When Green came to make his argu- - . mont he didn't stale the facts of the case to suit Liudley. whereupon the latter said, 'Mr. Green, you should not set up a man of straw." Thereupon Green shook his long finger at Linelley ci f a; e:,.oon ,w,lntfl to h in and said: 'General, yon needn't shake your head. There's nothing in it.' " Governor Stone's First. Lawsuit.

'As I recall it now. my urst lawsuit Involved the munificent sum of ?0 cents. The plaintiff, had done certain work for the defendant, for which he rendered a bill of ?'- 50. The defend ant, considering the charge exorbitant, refused to pay. He was willing to pay $1.50. and during the negotiations, by wav of compromise, he proposed to pay way or compromise, iur ' vi the plaintiff ?2. When this proposition vac p..uuun s i" r . . , was carried to the piamtuT, ne reject u i n scorn and instituted a suit be ; r rf mnee.

The greater number of the wit nesses were used to prove the value of the services. The plaintiff won on tbe jury trial, and the defendant appealed. After the trial I was employed by the : plaintiff. By this time tho accumulat ed costs made the case of much greater ! importance to the parties. The origi nal difference cf 50 cents was lost sight : of in view of the large bill of costs ac crued, now amounting to $70 or $S0. On the trial we mode it anpear that no actual tender of any sum had been made to the plaintiff, and so I felt pret- i ty sure of the costs, no matter what j amount the. jury Sav us. However. me jury leiurneu zi vcruicc lur uff i,... i amount claimed. The costs in the case i exceeded $100. The controversy of course was absurd to the point of idio cy, but it gave me a case, $15 in money and a world of glory. Thenceforth, like Alexander, I was looking fcr other worlds to conquer." A Question cf Jurisdiction. For many years the judge of the Marion - Rails - Monroe - Shelby circuit was Hon. Thomas II. Bacon of Hanni. bal. As atmlied to him. with oulv n change of tense, there would be almost literal truth in Fitz-Greene Halleck's famous couplet: -j None know him but to love him; j Sone name him but to praise. He is 'learned in tlio . " nnlitn na I i Chesterfield, brave as Richard Plan- ; I ta genet and guileless as a child. Love ' of justice is his ruling passion. When barely of age, he set out from homes burning with martial fire, to enlist in j the Confederate army. He .joined ! "Pap" Price just in time to tight in ! the battle cf Wilson's Creek, where General Lyon was killed and young Bacon dangerously wounded. ! The juelge has a quaint manner of 1 speech, sometimes dashed with humor. Once in a case pending before him an application was filed for removal to the United States court. After the . lawyers were through arguing and '- spouting Judge Bacon thus delivered . his opinion: "There are some doubts in ny mind touching the question of juris 1 diction, but several years ago I ran up against the United Slates government and got my hide full of lead for so do- ; ing. I do not care to repeat the per- ' ; formance; consequently I resolve all doubts in favor of the general govern- , ment and grant the removal of the ! cause." ; A Withering Rebuke. ; On one occasion Hon. Ben T. Hardin of Kansas City and mysolf were eu op posite sides of a bitterly fought high way robbery case up at Shelby ville. : With all due respect to Mr. llard'.n, I am willing to give it as my opinion that he can be the most aggravating mortal I ever sa win a courthouse. lie is eapabje, plucky, aggressive, provoking, j Great patience has never been ranked ! among my virtues even by my most sanguine friends. The aforesaid case ! was long drawn out and wearisome be- '. ' yond my power of description. Every- I body was in a wretched burner. It de-- j ; generated into a fierce slugging match j ; among the lawyers. Hardin ami I fell afoul of each other repeatedly. To ; make matters worse, we were trying . ; the case in a church, within whose f i walls we all ought to have been on our ', : good behavior, but we were not by a ! long shot. At last Judge Bacon, who was a great stickler for good order. : grew weary with oar ceaseless and un- . : seem!' wi angling. After an unusually ' I violent altercation between Hardin and i myself the judge straightened back in his chair and in the blandest manm r said, "1 do not undertake to prescribe rules of etiquette for attorneys from outside of this circuit, but I feel con strained to fay that the attorneys of rnv circuit do not behave as Messrs. : Hardin anel Clark are now doing, It : was a withering rebuke, mere so per- : h ps by reason of the kind tone iu i which it wa.-i delivered. Hardin and I 1 did not have another row that uav. j The Juror Was Excused. In the Shelby case already mention ' ed there appeared among the proposed jurors a son or the conieaerate hero General Martin 11 Green, deceased. Mr. Julius II. Green. On inquiry Mr. Green announced that he had already formed an opinion as to the alleged guilt or innocence of the prisoner. Further interrogation disclosed thr.t said opinion was derived from an in spection of the defendant's counte nance. Defendant's counsel responded with a volley cf objections. The court asked the juror if he had read Lava tor. The juror answerer! thr.t he had. The fact is that Lavater's work has little or no value in physiognomical research, but a certain prestige attends the name of the author. The con; t ruled that if eleven more jurors of this type could be secured tlie evidence would be elis pensed with, but in default of such a panel Mr. Green would be excused. Brought Him to Terms. In a divorce case between parties of advanced years it appeared that the couple had started in poverty. In con lunction with his farm the husband, a frrsrel German, had conducted a pot- tery which bad an elevated site. In her ! earlier married life the wife, by up and I down mil trips, naei rurnisneu tne wa i ter supply. Side by side they fought i the wolf away and amasseil for the husband a handsome competence. Still . Once when the team was hitched the old lady prepared for transportation of herself and some housekeeping prod- j . . .... , ! i - - - - . -,, iters, i no snip nr wuicu was tier soit: ic- liance for pin money. When the old man saw that his good wife intended .... passage, he ordered the team unhitch ed and the errand abandoned. The court ruled that this was the equiva lent of the most refined piece of mari tal cruelty ever heard of. Although ihe old potter strenuously denied making , fqmtiv i't-s his wife was on allied I ramilj ja.s. nis wire w..s on au u jrronTids iImtpwI a divorce and half the grounds decreed a divorce and half the estate. The result was a compromise and reconciliation. Judge Bacon is one of the most agree able and sparkling conversationalists I ever met and indulges freely in bon homie and humor when among his intimntes. I think be was the author of the neatest pun I ever heard. A year or so ago at the Louisiana court of common pleas somebody told Judge Bacon that Judge Roy had eaten two dozen Rambo apples nt one sitting. "Well," said Bacon, "that Is what I would call an apple-ate judge." A splendid Missourian Is Hon. Thom as H. Bacon, well worth cultivating. Champ Clakk.

How powerfully the imagination may be stimulated by a story told in dots and dar.hcs is illustrated by an episode of the Charleston earthquake, relates L. C. Hall. At the moment of the final shock every wire connecting Charles ton with the outside world was in stantly "lost." Anil ns no other tid ings could be had from the doomed city it was as if in an instant it had been swept from the face of the earth. And for many hours Charleston re mained literally dead to the world. The next morning before the average citinca had time to collect his wits the telegraph people had started cut gangs of linemen to get the wires in working order. Operators in the principal of fices within a radius of several hun dred miles were set to calling "C. N." For a long time there was no response, but at last on the wire which I had in charge a slight answering signal was felt rather than heard faint and dick ering, like the first sign of returning life. From that moment my watch was, if possible, more diligent. For an hour or more I called, "Adjusted," and used every effort to revive the feeble pulse. I could fancy myself working desperately to resuscitate a half drown ed man. Again "i felt the flickering signal, and then once more ail signs of life faded away. Finally as the wires were gradually cleared of debris the current began to strengthen, and then came the answering "i i! C N." weak and unsteady, but still sufficiently plain to be made out. To me it sor.neled like a voice from the tomb, and I shouted alond the tid ings that Charleston was still in ex istence. Quickly the sounder was sur rounded by a throng of excited teleg raphers. The Morse was broken and unsteady at first, then the current grew stronger the patient was grow ing bettor and for a lc:ig time Ave Hsteneel to the labored clicking, until at last tlie worst was known. And at the eml cf the recital a great sigh went out from the hearts of all of us, as if literally in our presence a long buried city had been exhumed. Mc Clure's. NATURAL HISTORY. Camels are the only animal3 that cannot swim. A seal has been known to remain twenty-five minuses under water. Tlie starfish has no nose, but can smell with the whole of its under side. The greyhound, which can cover a mile in lm. 2Ss., is the fastest of o,uad rupetis. Nearly all bottom sea fishes have the power of changing color at will, like chameleons. A sea anemone, taken from the Firth cf Forth in 1S2S, lived and flourished in captivity until 1S3T. Horses, giraffes and ostriches have the largest eyes of land creatures, cut tlefish of sea beasts. Grizzly cubs born in captivity r.re al most impossible to raise. Of twenty three born at Cincinnati only one lived. The Eskimo dog will cat almost any of the dried fruits. The sour or acid fruits, as the orange, lemon, lime, shad dock, etc., as well as the soi:r plums and the bitter olives, are rarely eaten. To protect itself from the rain the orang outang crooks Us arms over its head. The hair on the orang's upper arm points downward, while on the lower arm it points upward, the appar ent purpose being to shed the rain like a thatch. Why Did They Abcnlon Pompeii? At a period when newspaper discus sions were rather vapid, elespite the ac- credited appearance of the sea serpent and the arrival of the large potato. Max Nordau in an Austrian journal propounded a problem that should lead to useful inejuiry: j Why was it that the inhabitants of ! Pompeii did not return to their homes after the destrvtion of the city? Of the 30,000 inhabitants a few hun dreds at most seem to have lest their . lives. Tho eruption of Vesuvius lasted I only a few days. The deposit of lava and ashes was not very thick. The houses might have been easily repaired. Many of them stand to this day. They ; were beautiful houses, many of them. richly appointed and containing valu ables of great price. Had the Poni peiians no love of home, or were they too superstitious, cr did their terror at the eruption make them believe the disaster might come again? Drlnklnpr Water In the Navj". For many ye'ars after the close cf the civil war water was net generally dis tilled In vessels of the navy except on long voyages. Later on medical statis tics showed that in ships where dis- tilled water only was used there was i , a t 1 e ,1 almost an entire freedom from dysen tery and enteric fevers, while these dis orders were more or less common in vessels that used water purchased In different ports. Gradually the prac tice of distilling water for drinking purposes became general, and now shore water is seldom purchased, the distilling plants of our ships being am ple for all demands. Argouaut. Creeds and Tr-des. Certain creeds seem to monopolize certain industries. Practically all British manufacturers of cocoa, for example, are Quakers. Then, in Lon don at any rate, a very large percent age of cigar merchants and all tlie best known manufacturers of Christ mas cards are Jews. Whenever a Welshman comes to London to seek his fortune it is long odds on his making a pile either in the draper's or drug store business. Irishmen, probably owing to the fact that they lack the money making instinct, flock to jour nalism. London Tatler.

The respect and deference shown to the German army otticer on duty and oEE duty by his countrymen are won derful to see, according to a London writer. "Civilians, even compatriots of distinction, on entering the dining room bow to him with formal humility. He acknowledges the obeisances only with a rigid glare cf haughty indiffer ence, though he is politely crnscious of the coming and going of ladies. The German civilian does not appear to be surprised at or to resent being con- j temptuously ignored by him, but roc- ognizrs him and looks up to him as a superior member of a superior race apd continues to make his ooeisances, however loftily they are ignored. "But, while the officer is unable to see the civilian at whom he is looking point blank, he never misses observ ing the entrance and acknowledging the salute of another of his own race, lie rises from his seat and stands stiff and erect while the newcomer ad vances and exchanges formal bows and greetings, and as he recovers the erect position fr-m the bew he brings his heeis together with a sharp parade click and waits until his superior has taken a seat before he resumes his own." There were tremendous ceremonies in eating and drinking, too, especially in drinking. "Each table group lifted their glasses invariably together, as if i at the word of command, taking their , time apparently from the senior pres.- ent. Having seized the.'r glasses t . gethcr and raised them together and simultaneously drunk, they would . Kumultaneousiy finish and then, hold ing their glasses before them, would with great ceremony Low to one another before replacing them on : the table. It did not matter whether they were drinking l eer i r claret or the German champagne, which seems , to be the especially smart tiling to take, there was'the same ceremony. When a senior ollicer went out of the j rooift. all the juni- rs present rose to i stiff attention and bowed as he passed. When a junior rese. he made the round j of the table on his way to the d ;or and bowed separately, whh a f-pur jingling heel click every time to every other ollicer." PICKINGS FROM FICTION.

IILSTS NATURE GIVES SYMPTOMS THAT SHOULD WARN MEN OF COMING SICKNESS. The Significance of Sneezing;, YnTvn lns; nad Hcrurrlns Winter Colds. T2ie Slennins of Rice Hand Apo plexy's Waralas Sigualn. Nature scarce ever strikes without warning. In so far as disease is con cerned it gives clear signs of what is 1 p uS ' ' ' moMU auu evea cars bofor0 ihe attack. If people looked for these signs and took warn i , . i. . ing from them, they wcnld crcapc much serious illness and live many j years longer than they do. It is indeed I remarkable how careless we are ia this i j rifpect. A man who will anxiously j i eirau iue fcu ior &i;;ua 11 coia.ag ram lest his top hat may get spoiled will i never dream cf. ixa mining his eyes, n so or linger nails for signs of coming illncFS. J Tho sneeno, for instance, is very e'g- j 1 nificant. It is always a sign that some- j ; thing Is injuring the air passages any- j i where from the nose down to the j i lungs. Should it be only a case e.f snuff j or pepper, of course the sneeze is of no . consequence. F.ut often it is an indica- 1 tion ef congestion. Thciv is i:i:lamma- ! tion f omewhere, with too much bl .od, and the object of the sneeze is to give J rcl.iof b.v fitting i id f some of tho fluid. This sneeze is a warirng that every rruelcnt person should attend to. , It is at least the forerunner i f a cold. I But it may indicate an approaching at- ; tack cf bronchitis or pneumonia. When there is much sneezing, ai'companied by something like a small shower of j rain, the victim will do well to take a warm footbath, go to bed and adopt the other usual remedies to cur.' a cold. The winter cold itself Is a grave j warning. When it recurs two or three j times every winter, it is sine to be fob lowed in the end by chronic bronchitis. Once this comes on it is practically in- . curable. Men are started on their lives nr.icu : as a shell from a cannon with a cer tain fixed quantity of energy. If dis ease or accident dois not carry them off. they will die seme time of what we call old age in other words, when the energy with which they started is ' spent.
