Allen Tnx Law Attacked in Federal Courts on (iround of Unconstitu tionality and Violation of Trcnty lllghts. Pittsburg, July 13.

Stories Told of Famolis Men An amusing anecdote Is told of the celebratedChlef Justice John Marshall, by his descendants, In Illustration of the cu rious lack of practical sense of that won derfully profound legal luminary. Returning one afternoon from his farm near Richmond, Va., to his home in that city, the hub of his wheel caught on a I small' sapling growing by the roadside. After striving unsuccessfully for some moments to extrlcato the wheel he heard the sound of an ax In the woods, and saw a negro man approaching. Hailing him he said, "If you will get that ax and cut down this tree, I'll give you a dollar. "I c'n git yer by 'thout no ax, of dat's all yer want." "Yes, that's all," said the Judge. The man simply backed the horse until tho wheel was clear of the sapling, and then brought the vehlclo safely around It. "Yon don't charge a dollar for that, do you?" asked tho astonished Chief Jus tice. "No, Massa, but It's wuf a dollar to lam some folks &ense." The quick-witted darkey got his dollar without further questioning. The Ex aminer. o Marcus Daly, tho Montana, millionaire, who won tho Belmont stakes in New York recently, retains much of tho blurf ness of the mines from which his money was dug. A typical racing dude, white snats. turned up trousers and peanut hat to tit his peanut head, asked for an Introduc tion to the copper king. Chappie touched Daly's outstretched hand with his own limp and daintily manicured ringers and said: "Aw. so pleased to meet you, weally. I've often heard of you, Mr. Daly!" Daly put his hand In his pock't, looked at his new acquantance a moment, and replied: "The you arc!" Chappie said afterwards that Mr. Daly might be "vewy wloh," but there was no doubt that he was "vewy wude." o The- following story of Alphonso Dau det, the French litterateur, Is told by tho San Francisco Argonaut: When he brought out "Sappho," an American pun llshlng house that Issues religious books, not knowing Its character, offered JL Daudet a large sum for advance sheets of the work. Ho accepted the otfer and tho advanco sheets were sent- When the publishers received them they decided that they could not Issue the book, and they cabled to the author: "'Sappho' will not do." This dispatch puzzled Daudet. Ho con sulted with' numbers of friends, and this was the conclusion at which they event ually arrived: "Sappho," In French, Is spelled with one "p" "Sapho," nfter tho Greek fashion. In English It Is spsllcd with two. Art unusually acute friend pointed this out to Daudet, which much relieved tho novellsr, and he cabled back to tho publishers: "Spell It with two 'p's." It Is needless to state that the publishers were more astonished at Dau det's reply than ho had been at their cable dispatch. 0 Ex-Governor Jackson, of Iowa, for many years was tho Hawkeyo secretary of state, and employed In his otlico quite a largo clerical force, uno afternoon, says tho Chicago Times-Herald, a rather rusty rurallto wandered in, and Mr, Jackson immediately saw in the newcom er opportunities for fun. "Hev ye got a telephone?" stammered the caller. "Certainly," replied Jackson, "there It Is on tho wall. Help yourself to It." Then, as the stranger slowly walked up to tho telephone and began looking It over, Jackson passed word among tho clerks to watch tho experiments of a Jay trying to use a telephone for the first time. Tho visitor looked the Instrument over carefully, as If trying to figure out how to use it. The entire ofllce force was watching him with unconcealed amuse ment. Finally he timidly took down tho receiver, looked at It with evident cu riosity, tapped It gently with his fingers, and then, giving a glanco about the room, blew the dust off the receiver, and putting his lips closely to It softly said, "Hello!" This was too much for the clerks. Tho office force burst into a roar of laugh ter, end Jackson promptly wont to tho assistance of the old man. "Hold on!" he cried. "Don't try to talk Into that. That Is the receiver; not tho transmit ter. Hang it up again; then turn tho little crank on the right, place the re ceiver to your ear, and wait till central answers." Tho visitor was looking at Jackson as curiously as one might regard an oh. caped lunatic. "Say," he drawled "what's the matter with you, anyway?" I'm an expert sent over here by the Bell Telephone company to find out what's the matter with this Instrument?" And not clerk dared to look up from hla work for tho next hour. o Anent tho prevailing discussion as to tho highest speed ever attained by ex pert shorthand writers, there Is a story going the rounds of tho feat of a Georgia court stenographer, which by long odds broke tho world', record In that line of work. It was when that eminent Jurist, tho late Judge Richard Clarke, was presid ing In the Atlanta circuit of the Su perior court. One of the most remark Connolly & Foulard Silks AT 3714 CENTS. The best quality Guaranteed not to slip half the figure usually CONNOLLY & able murder trials was In progress. The evidence was conflicting, and the JuJgo was called upon to chargo the Jury on some decldely new and interesting legal points. Now, tho Judge wap a rapid talker. In this Instance It was very Im portant that every word he spoke should be correctly recorded, and he so cautioned the stenographer. Then Judgo Clarko began. As he warmed up In his charge ho was speak ing at tho rate of KKI word n. minute. Once he glanced toward the stenographer. That worthy official seemed to be half sleeping over his work and apparently wr1'' y very slowly. I , are you getting my words 'correctly," asked tho Judge, this tho stenographer seemed to wako up. With little concern, ho re plied: "That's all right, Judge, fire away. I am about 15 words ahead of you now!" o The Buffalo Commercial tolls the story of a little girl who was greatly disturbed by tho discovery that her brothers had set traps to catch birds. Questioned as to what she had done In the matter, she replied: I prayed that the traps might not catch the birds." "Anything else?" "Yes," she said; "I then prayed that God would prevent the birds getting Into the traps, nnd," as If to Illustrate the doctrine of faith and works, "I went and kicked tho traps all to pieces." IIISPOLITICAL CAKEER. It Was Full of Unappreciated Merit nnd Unrewarded Genius. "Yes, I held public office once," said the man In the mackintosh, as he pro- ceeded to light a cigar and the others hastened to get to windward of him. "Have a contract for sweeping It out?" queried the man with the green goggles. "Somebody die and will It to you?" asked the man who had hlB feet on the table. "You have never been in publlo life, either of you," he retorted. "That's all that alls you fellows. I don't mind saying, either, that my experience as an officeholder was not a pleasant one." "Well?" "Go on." "Why don't you own up?" "My experience, I say, was not a pleasant one. I was nominated at a township convention against my will, for the office of town clerk. I protested, but It didn't do any good. Some of the boys had put up a Job on me, and they rushed tho thing through with a whoop. I was not only nominated for the office, but I was elected. It's one of those little Jobs, you know, that are a whole lot of trouble and mighty little profit. I served the term out, but It was really an Injury to me. It took me away from my business. It made all sorts of bother and I was glad enough to lay It down at the end of the term." "What did the office pay?" Inquired the man with the white spot in his moustache. "It was worth $800 a year." "Then what are you kicking about?" "It was really worth about $800 a year, I say. but the actual salary, all fees Included, was only $10. That's where the Injury came In. And the people of the township added insult to the injury." "How?" "They said the salary was more than I was worth." And the man Jn tho mackintosh re lighted his cigar, smoked on In silence, and the others got still further to wind ward of him. Chicago Tribune. AMATEUR BALL NOTES.
