"I'd rather be the leading advocate of . the American bar," he would say, "than be president of the United States." "And what would you want to be if you eeu3ed to be Joseph II. Choate?" some one asked him whimsically on a much later occasion. "I should want to be," he answered quickly, with a bow and a smile to his wife, "Mrs. Cboate's second husband.'' Choate'a Advice. Joe Choate had a reserve fund of the unexpected. Some American dish es were served up at a breakfast party in Euglaud.'one being bam and eggs. A young lady at the ambassador's light was Ignorant of the slippery ways of fried eggs on a dish, so she accidental ly spilled the contents of her plate. "Oh, Mr. Choate," she exclaimed, "I don't know what to do, for I've drop ped an egg on the floor!'' And Choate replied:. "If I were jrou I'd cackle." A Famous Wittiolam. One of Choate's witticisms which Jin.9 been most frequently repeated was uttered in i-bo Feauardent-Cesnola libe case, which turned upon the authen ticity of some alleged antique statuci. it "was charged, among other things, that a certain figure of Venus hadeea worked over and made Into a Hope. A witness had sworn that the statue as K then appeared was different from the way It looked when first taken out of the packing box, "Lost flesh in the hot weather, I suppose?" suggested Choate. "My learned brother is so fond of making-jests that he overlooks some of the serious points in the testimony," interposed the counsel for the other side. "Xow, if my learned brother" 'Tray don't drag me In all the time," interrupted Choate rather tartly. "I'm not, on. trial here. Please go on with the business in ItafrA and leave me out." "Leave my learned brother out!" ex claimed the opposing counsel, with mock alarm. "Why, We might as well leave out Venus herself 1" "Oh. very well," returned Choate; "leave me "out With Venus and I won't object!" 'Choate and Croker. His opinion of Richard Croker, the Tammany boss, was freely expressed by Mr.'Choate m addresses In the New York -State campaign of 180S. At a meeting m' Checkering hall, in replying to an 'attack : by Croker, he said, "I must "say I ' regard it as the highest compliment for any respectable citizen to be abused by him." At the same meeting' he said: 'Vell, this audience looks to me like a good,'old fashioned audience who re member things they have read in the Bible. Croker's speech and why he tfpoke recall to my mind the familiar story of Balaam's ass. And in two or three points Mr. Croker reminds us of that very celebrated beast of burden. In the first place, until the ass spoke 'nobody In the world imagined what a perfect ass he was. If he bad not, Spoken he would have passed into bis-! tory as an average, ordinary, silent ast i States. Two hundred thousand dol lars has been appropriated by the Rockefeller foundation to bring Dr, Carrell and Dr. Dakin to New York to equip a hospital for them and to open their clinics to classes of American army and navy surgeons. Immediately the construction and equipment of a military hospital unit will he begun on the grounds of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re search in New York. Here Dr. Carrel and Dr. Dakin, whose -surgical tri umphs at their- hospital at Complegne, Frauce, since the beginning of the great war have attracted worldwide attention, personally in a few weeks will begin to teach United States army and navy surgeons methods of military medical and surgical preparedness and technique; especially In the matter of infected wounds, that could only have come out of so wide a field of experi ence as the European war afforded. The Rockefeller foundation furthei announced "that preliminary arrange ments and the complete organization of the new instructive unit have been completed, so that Dr. Carrel and Dr. Dakin, as soon as they have completed the necessary formalities of obtaining leaves of absence .from the French government, will begin the instruction of classes of American surgeons who will care for our wounded in case of ffar with. Germany. Hospital Ready In Ten Weeks. The hospital, it is expected, will be ready within ten or twelve weeks. Charles Butler, who has made a thor ough study of the war time hospitals of France and England, will bare charged the portable unit, which will have accommodations for 100 "wounded men. All the regular work of a hos pital will be undertaken at the new unit, but its chief object will be to make it first and last an institution of experiment and Instruction. The hearty co-operation of the army, the navy and of public health officials with the Rockefeller Institute and the two surgeons has already been as sured. The hospital will consist of sev eral detached ono story wooden build ings, which 'can be completed quickly. As soon as these buildings have been erected D. Carrel and Dr. Dakin will open their laboratories on the groueds and begia work.

The committee on statistics and standard of the Chamber of Com merce of the United Slates, after ait Investigation nation wide, anuouncwl that the United States will be equal t the world food supply demand. "It Is probable,", a report from the committee says, "the wheat crop will be normal, but If not other products will save the situation. "In the last analysis It seems that the real problem of the Kuropean food Importing countries will be one of suf ficient and safe transportation even more than the question of chough food supply." A statement Issued bv the chamber said: "With favorable weather from now on. the total whiter wheat yield may somewhat, though not materially, ex ceed the harvest of last year. At this stage of the growth of the spring wheat crop all that cau be reasonably said Is that the law of chance is for a greater production than that of last season. Other Crope "Running Over." "If, however, we should not have as much wheat to cxkh t as would be necessary, there seems a strong prob ability that we shall have other avail able food supplies, such as corn, oats, potatoes and the like, not only in full measure, but running over." "There is much cheer hi the way people la the town and on the farm are awake to the necessity of greatly Increasing food products this, year, says Archer Wall Douglass, chairman of the committee. "Not only are gar dens being cultivated everywhere and vacant lots being used, but lawns parks, railroad rights of way and flow, er gardens are devoted to the raising of all manner of vegetables. Of even greater moment is the story of an acreage of corn, oats and potatoes that win break all previous records. "Reckouirig 100,000,000 inhabitants' In round figures, we shall need approxi mately 023,000,000 bushels of wheat for our own use and for seeding, ana tne remainder will be available for export. These figures will vary according to the amount which we carry over Into the 1917 harvest from the 1910 crop,, the amount of stocks of flour which We also carry over this year beyond the 1st of July and the acreage which we shall plant next fall and next spring for the 1918 harvest. . "So far as other principal wheat ex porting countries are concerned, It is pointed out, it is known that the Ar geutlne crop of wheat is short and that the exports will be much less than last year. It Is very difficult to get definite information as to the situation In India. Apparently the Indian crop and consequently exports will not be quite so large as last year, but this Is merely an estimate, since the harvest Is not yet on. Australian Crop Ample. "On the other hand, It looks very much as if Australia will 'do ber bit' for her mother country. The Aus trallan crop is harvested. It Is of good quality and more than the aver age production. After supplying the home wants it seems likely that there will be 100,000,000 bushels available for eximrt, In addition to about 14,000, OO0 bushels already shipped. : "This problem is Btill further com plicated, It Is said, by the possible wheat yields In Spain, France, Eng land aud In the other countries In Europe to which we are at present able to send wheat. "It seems quite sure that the Eng lish prodn. tlon will be larger than usual, 1' uj cuergy and interests of the .'government and the people can bring it a-bont There remains Canada aa the most iiiii ortant factor, because the Dominion is at once a large pro- onclng and large exporting country. This Is iartieularly true of the three northwestern provinces Manitoba. Al berta and Saskatchewan since espe cially In tbeee three provinces there is auuch more grain raised than is con nmed. Tbelr serious difficulties are the lack of storage and transportation facilities, it u aeciarea deeding of spring wheat In Canada is late because of wet, cold weather. It Is progressing fast in southern portions of the north west provinces. With abundant mois ture In the soil the acreage seeded will depend npon the weather."
