Death .of Major McTaggart It was with sincere regret' that the ••citizens of Clinton and vicinity re- ceived the news'of the death of Maj- or Malcolm D. McTaggart on Thurs- • day last. Major •McTaggart's death resulted from .a malignant affection • of the throat, frolet which he had suf- fered for some months and which 'baffled the skill of the most expert ,specialists. Major ;McTaggart, a member of on of 'Clinton's best Jdnown' families and a man who had spent practicably all his life here, (was known to every man, woman and .-child in town and community and his passing leaves a vacancy inthe busi- • mess and social life of the town. He was a son of the late Malcolm Mc- Taggart and his wife, Margaret Hart, pioneer residents of Huron County, 'eane was born at Kippen, January 30, 1873. Later the family came to Clin- ton and for year Mr. McTaggart the elder carried on s manufacturing business here. The' funeral was held an Saturday afternoon to Clinton cemetery, with full military honors. A service was held in the Presbyter - 'Ian Church, conducted by the Rev. C. E. Dugan, and attended by a large gathering of friends, including many of those prominent in the district's military circles. -•-Clinton News -•Re- cord. - • Bob Didn't Qualify.

The driver of the other truck. belonging to the Goderich Manufacturing Com- pany, was Allan Miller, of Goderich. The accident occurred as Miller was making -a left turn off the highway.

Tells Inside Story • • Of Asquith's Downfall Among the :services to mankind which will constitute the final score of Lord Beaverbrook, perhaps, none will be refire important than his revelations concerning the down- fall of the Asquith Government, the rise of Lloyd George and/ the subse- quent conduct of the war. Since Lord Beaverbrook played a hand in the game that euchred Asquith and since he is a man by nature" given to frank utterance, he is in an ad- mirable position to relate exactly what"' happened, and incidentally re- move some popular mythi. In his book, Politicians . and the War, Beaverbrook"devotes severer chapters to the incidents whose consequences are visible to this day. Asquith was •undoubtedly. not. tee roan to lead a nation in 'a great war. He "had riot the temperament. Says ' Beaver- broo'k: "!kis complete detachment from the spirit of the struggle; his instability of purpose; his refusal to make up his mind on grave and ur- gent issues of policy;, his balancing of one adviser against another until the net result was nil; his funda- mental desire to have a peaceful tenure of office in the midst of war could in the long Brun have but one result. The men who were in tune with the atmosphere of the war— the bold, the eager, the decisive spirits --first fell away from him arid then combined against him." Lloyd George was restive. He want- ed wider powers', the authority to make jnstant decisions of the firs;, importance. He and others" of As - 'smith's colleagues feared that their chief might consent .to a peace by negotiation, and their alarm was heightened by the famous Lanedolwne memorandum. Pressure was brought to bear an Asquith and he admitted that a war oabinet, an inner circle, was necessary. He proposed_ that it should consist of himself, Lloyd George and Bonne Law. But Cues zon objected to Bonar Law,: whose place as Conservative leader he hop • ed to win, and then Asquith suggest- ed Balfour. With a curious absence of mind he mentioned Curzon's objec- tion to Lloyd George in the House forgetting that Bonar Law sitting beside him could hear every word. Law naturally was angry with Cur- zon for his objections with Asquith for attaching weight to them and with Lloyd George for apparently acquiescing, 5 At this time 'Beaverbrook, who was a great admirer and strong personal friend of Law's, had come to the con - elusion that the supreme council should include Lloyd George, Bonar w and Carson. Carson was willing. Law was reluctant. He distrusted Lloyd George and refused to be drawn into anything like an intrigue ac;aznst Asquith. •But eventually he was won over and agreed that Lloyd George was the man best fitted to presiee over this inner council. He desired, nevertheless, to give As- quith final authority. Asquith re- jected the plan both on account of Lloyd George and of Carson. Then Bonar Law took the proposal to the !Conservative members f the Cabinet, who came forward with the extra- ordinary 'alternative suggestion that. there ehould be two councils, one to run the war and the other to con- duct the other affairs of the nation. His activity in the matter had cast Law sclmie of the adherence of his .own party. His position was almost as difficult as that of Lloyd ,!George and their joint isolation drove them together, !On a critical day in the course of these negotiations a newspaper an- nounced that Lloyd George would re- sign if his demands were ,not granted. This enraged the Conserva- tive cabinet ministers and they in- struetednar Law to wait on As- quith and demand his resignation. Their real hope was that if the premier resigned Lloyd George would be crowded out of. any cabinet re- organization. Asquith parleyed, and 'that, night sent fox Lloyd George afterward making the announcement that they had reached conuplerte agreement on the nature of' the war council though thea* had net agreed ite personnel« ' When • •the IA, nal memfbers read in the.neet dae'a newspapers time there was tl,► be a: cal¢inet xeoreeniee4404, • thefe -was pa2iic e,Ln, thhe* rante& t fey helnied to Downing- !Stieet anti urged As- quith to resign. If the did, •they would walk lona with him. Curzon lChaanberlain and Cecil saw here an oipportunity to rkl theneelves !both of LleydeGeon'ge and Bonar Law. They too premised to stand .by him. So Asquith decided to fight. He de- clared for' resignation and the "deft - trite proof that he was the only pose slbble Premier:" In other words, he doulbted if any other ,premier could command a 'majority in the House. 'He dodged interviews with both Lloyd George and. Bonar Law, and actually it was George who resigned first, sending Asquith a frigid letter in which he' asked that the corrre • spondence be published. When 'As- quith refused he protested that he was placed in an unfair position. As- quith then said that he had himself resigned. The King sent for Bonar Law as head of the Conservative party. Law consulted Asquith who refused to serve, under him. Ho also refused to serve with Lloyd' George under Balfour. There followed a conference with the king which was attended by all the party leaders. Once more Asquith - refused to take - any subordinate position: Then Bonar Law advised the Kung to summon Lloyd George. On hearing this news George imanedirately sent Law to see Balfour, then ill in bed. "Well," said Balfour, "you hold a pistol to Im'y head, I must accept." Thus was made possible by the loyalty of Bal- four and Bonar Law the government that led the nation through the rest of the war to the final victory. Secretary of State a Picturesque Figure One way or another, England's sec- retary of state for the dominions •proposes to make Irishmen. pay for the acres acquired under the bitterly contested land annuities program. e, F. Tholmas has just made this plain by putting through a bill to impose a tariff up to 100 per cent: on Irish goods; this to even up for Eamonn de Valera's refusal to pay the semi- atueual instalment. Secretary Thomas has always been forthright in matters of money. When the national union of railway men refused him a $2,500 office'r's pension for his family he got right up in meeting and told his fellow' members what he thought of them. Perhaps money means much to him because he was born poor. An er= rand boy and car wiper, he rose to the secretaryship of his union and finally to the rank of a cabinet n m- istcr of his government, but no big salary went a1on • with either • job., 1 -Ie is fifty-seven years old, and stocky v: it a heavy moustache that must at times get into his tea.

Tested and Approved Recipes "OIs, raspberries! Thd't Means de- licious jam, and I just love" raspberry jam," said one of the best cooks in Canad)ti. Raspberries bring such a fresh tang in the ripe fruit that it is poor management to destroy it in making a jam that must. cook for 45 minutes and in that long cooking period lose both flavor, color, and boil juice away so that a smaller quantity of jam results. !By following this recipe carefully,. a tender, succulent jam, in. the rosy red shade of raspberries, fully ripe and fresh, will result. Raspberry Jam. 4 cups (2 lbs.) prepared fruit. 6%• cups (21 lbs.) sugar 1e bottle liquid pectin. Crush or grind about 2 quarts (2 lbs.) fully ripe raspberries. Measure sugar and fruit into large kettle, mix well, and bring to a full rolling' boil over the hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove froim fire and stir in pectin. Then stir and skim my turns for just five minutes to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit. Pourquickly. Seal hot jam at once with paraffin wax. This recipe makes about 1f eight -ounce jars. ;Blackberries, the brunette sister of the delicious raspberry, makes a splendid jam and the above recipe is used instead of the amount for rasp- berry jam. Raspberry jelly used to be the mast critical to make and even yet very few cooks attempt it by the old long !boil method of jelly making since those recipes demand fruit underripe and !very freshly picked before the• sugar and pectin will concentrate in a jelly. A tender, sparkling, raspberry jelly can be made by the most inexperi- enced cook by fallowing the reeipe given h . carefully. Besides the ease and. --Speed of making raspberry jelly in this modern way, there is the factor of low cost and a perfect product to be considered. There is no danger of failing to get perfect rasp- berry jelly in (fifteen • minutes if this recipe is followed. ,Raspberry Jelly. 4 cup (2 tbs.) fruit juice 7% cups (31/4 lbs.) eugaii 1 bottle liquid pectin. !Crush thoroughly or grind about 3 quarts (3 lbs.) fully ripe berries. Place in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Measure sugar and juice into large saucepan and mix. Bruce to a boil over hottest fire and at once add liquid pectin, stirring constantly. Then bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1e min- ute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly.. Seal hot jelly at once with paraffin wax. Makes about 11 eight - ounce jars. Either blackberries or loganberries can he made into a fine jelly by fol- lowing the above recipe, and there is no !danger of having to reboil or a'le's a fo?r=' liy made ° y'followleg* these repipell eierefully.

The Ex -King Michael Now Has An Aeroplane The 11 -year-old Crown Prince Michael of Roumania, who tried to climb a tree a year ago with an automobile, now has an aeroplane. He has been teasing King Carol for one since he was 9, and the gift may indicate his father's, gratification in a son possessing a mind tenacious en- ough to eling to ever idea that long. On the other hand, inaslmtuch as the boy's instructor ?will be the pilot who flew'Ejng Carol back from Paris for the coup Which- regained' him his throne, the affair may be just a piece of forehandedness. ,Lack 'of confidence will not bar young (Michael teen turning himself into a good flier. A fattish little tike who looks as though he had had a lot more candy than baby doctors say is good for the young, he sports that air of cocky assurance which marks his royal pa. He also has his daddy's small, petulant mouth and virtually total absence of chin. He doesn't like royal pomp, and he was glad when his father's return took the crown off his shock head. Polish monaiichists talk of giving him a coronation party in their capital, but he much prefers playing with motors and planes. IHe is smart. He scored 98.7 inan examination, and the pres- ence reyence of his father at the tests didn't faze him a bit. It has been announced that his ed- ucation is under' the personal direc- tion of King 'Carol. In view of 'Car- ol's awn education, this probably makes the youngiter's mother, exiled in 'Italy, following her refusal to be a good wife, a bit apprehensive. Car Engineers Fight Squeaks and Noises One of the chief annoyances of the average rrrtotorist—body and motor squeaks and 'noises, is receiving con- siderable attention by auto engineers. Leaders of the industry predict that within a few -years many of the present sources of irritation of that kind will be eliminated. Recently the engineers of one large automobile' company discovered a way to minimize greatly the roar of Pie engine tan. Irregular spacing of the blades did the trick. They found that an automobile en- gine makes a humming noise for the carne. reason, as the electric fan of the home and ofirca—vibration of air caused by the rush of fan blades. The crowded condition in which fans operate between the engine and the radiator set up an area of high pressure and made the 'problem of eliminatinf the noises without de- creaaing the cooling efficiency more difficult. Fan blades could have been iiat- tened or the fan speed reduced they pointed out, but that would have sacrificed efficiency. Finally ;t was found that by spacin;; the fuu:• blades at irreg•rlar distances heft re- sults could be obtained. Bible Still a Best Seller The_Bible is still a best-seller, but it is not read in this tabloid age be- cause people don't know how to read it and are frightened away by seem- ing contradictions in it, declares Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, urtil rrcr'tly pastor of the famous "Sky,craner Church° in New York. F plaining Dr. Jefferson's striking idef- of the Bible in the modern world, Rw.<?os. Fort Newton quotes him in McCalls: 1"The Bible;" says Dr. Jefferson, "still holds first place among the best-sellers; but when one reads of the number if 'Bibles sold, one can- not help wondering where they go. It is easy to be misled by figures. Because so many Bibles are sold does not mean that they are read. A Bible which is not read is rro Bible at all, and the plain fact is that the Bible is little read to -day, even :by church folk. The 'Bible' is a classic— that is to say, it is praised by people who do not read it. There is a deal of shamming in our use of the Bible. Even Christian people who would be ashamed to admit that they dad not have a ''Bi'ble in the • house, do not open it once a year. "Why is ,the greatest of all books left in neglect? Lack of time, for one thing; there are so many thrill- ing things to read. But a deeper reason is that the Bible, as a whole, is not easily understood. Stirred by a glowing serfmlon, a man stars to read the Bible from cover to' cover, but he gets stuck in the middle of Leviticus. He tries the New Testa- ment, and goes on the 'rocks in the Epistle to the " Romans. Nothing could induce him to try it again. lie cannot make out what it is all about, except a few great passages. :.The Bible is not a book, but a library of sixty-six books running in thirteen !hundred closely printed pages; and we live in a tabloid age.

Bible made every part of it of equal authority and value, the Book of Numbers and the Gospel of St. John; and that puzzles people. They are worlds apart, and one contradicts the other. By putting them together in places or time or value, we obscure both. "How to get the Bible, more widely read and intelligently understood is a vital issue before the 'Church, if religion as we know it is to live. It is'. a mistake to suppose that the average man or woman will know how to start in the study of the Bible. They must not simply be told; they must be shown how to read it-. "The Bible must be broken up into pieces, and its books mastered one by one. Like the plays of Shake- speare, the books of the Bible belong to one family,but each is different. Each must be studied in its own set- ting and situation, if we are to know why it was Written, to whom it is addressed, and what it means. This takes time and work` If one masters one book in the Old Testament and one in the . New, each year, he is doing well. It is worth all the work; and when one has mastered ten books, nothing but death will prevent him from mastering them all. No man has the right to hold any opinion whatever about the Bible until he has read it, honestly seargh- ing for the depth of its meaning. The Bible is a world power, and we release the p,o.av er only as we read and ponder arid -incarnate the great truths which are set forth in its pages." Few Car Gadgets Ewer See Market The inventor of the average auto- mobile safety device has two strikes on him before he gets to bat. H. 0. Rounds, of Detroit, who has been looking at new gadgets for 17 years as director of the safety coun- cil of the °Automobile Club of Michi- gan, has seen a lot of them come and go—mostly go: Out of a couple of hundred ideas a year on how driv- ing could (be made safer, few survive to a very lii'nited market. 'And the worst of it is that most of the stuff I've seen does have some applications," he says. "It accom- plishes what they claim. it wilI." "People and manufacturers just aren't safeyt-conscious. A manu- facturer is interested in shaving a cent off the 'building of an autamo • bile, not adding ones You can't blame him 11. that, either, since• safety devices mean little to the majority of buyers. To pry $2.50' away from the car owner for a safety accessory is a tough job. "Just the other day, for instance, a fellow was in here was a scheme to fire -proof the interior of^an auto- mobile. It worked too.. But the best offer he could get ,from an automo- i'ile plant was $1,000. He laughed at that, and I don't blame him. "There was another one, some time ago. He came from Los An- geles and had patented a novel ievice with the principles of the camera shutter for signalling a right' or left turn. I liked it, so did a big manufacturer to the ex- t:efrt of $5,000. Why, if that wasn't worth $100,000, I don't know any- thing about them. (hounds, incidentally, is a strong booster for safety •appliance. His own car is decked with gadgets, headlamp improvements, electric signals, an abundance of• rear-view mirrors. One he strongly indorses is a cigar lighter which makes it unnecessary for the driver to take his eyes from the road. Another is a pair of night driving glasses which the operator peers through by mere- ly lowering his head. Laugs on the Doctors ,And the Lawyers Even doctors will laugh at all or most of the stories told against them and their profession in the volume en- titled, "Humor Among the Doctors." to which Ian Hay contributes a pre- face in which he wittily describes anecdotes as "the small change of history" and warns us not to despise' them on that account. Here is a good one from the chapter entitled, "When the Doctor Trips": "Are you sure I shall recover?" once asked a very anxious patient of his doctor. "I have heard that doc- tors'sometinies give wrong diagnoses and ha,A•e treated a ,patient for pneu- monia who afterwards died of typhoid fever." "Let me tell you sir,"• said the medico, indignantly, "that you have been woefuily misinformed. It very rarely happens that.a diagnosis is wrong; and as far myself, if I treat a man for pneumonia, he dieg of pneulrnonia." Another story of the difficulties of diagnosis concerns a doctor who "was out of joint with all the world": "What an earth is the matter?" said his friend. "You look awfully mad." "I should think so, too,' was the angry reply. "Here have I been treating a patient for three years for yellow jaundice and I've only just found out that he's a Chinaman." Here, too, is a'story of that fam- ous wit and divine Sydney Smith— a story which is also told of Charles Lamb and is therefore probably un- true of either of them; but, still, it• is a good story: Sydney'Smith was given some med- icine by a physician whom be had called in, and instructed to take it on an empty stomach. "Whose stom- ach?" asked the celebrated wit. * * * Quite as dry-flavored—and quite as fatmaliar, though it, too, will bear re- peating—is the story of the profes- sor ,who was lecturing to a class of medical students anxious to get a- way to a football eupi final: At last the clock pointed to the hour at' which the class was usually dismissed, and there was at once a general rising from seats and a cal- lecting of books. "One minute, please, gentlemen," expostulated the lecturer—"one minute, please. Keep your seats. I have still one more pearl to cast." Even doctors have been known to be 'wearied by their patients' com- plaints, as we learn from these two stories, bothof which are too good to he new, hut are no worse for being old: "1 understand," said a friend once to a doctor, "that Brown is a martyr to dyspepsia." "Yes," replied the -doctor, he is dyspeptic all right, but ur,. v:J1„rd.tt it is his wife who is the martyr.” ' "You can '• never talk to .Miss Smith, complained another person to a doe- • tor, "but what she gives you 'a full catalogue of her aiirrienta:" . "Yes," . was the reply, "you might almost call it an organ recital." 'And, of course, there • simply had to be the famous story of Whistler; Whistler once called in .Sir Morel! Mackenzie, the great throat specialist of the Victoria era; and when ]Mac- . kenzie arrived at the painter'shouse he found that he was expeeted to treat a sick French•poodle. Natural- ly he was none too •pleased, but he saw to the dog, took his fee, and" went away. A little while later Mac- kenzie sent for Whistler urgently, and when the latter arrived greeted him with, "Oh, I'm glad you've come;. I just wanted to ask you about hay- ing tiny front door painted." A good story, though one wonders whether Whistler, whose twit wast etched in acid as sharply as anything he ever put on paper, had not an eq- ually crushing reply. * * * 7n his preface to "Humour Among the Lawyers," Mr. J. A. R. Carins, the famous London magistrate, points out that though his collection of stories deals only with 'the lighter side of the courts, it will fulfill one purpose—"the reader.. will discover that criminals haav a queer resembl- ance to him and me --and the bishop." Iiiere is a story about Lork Birk- enhead in his early days at the•bar when he was• representing a railway company, one of whose vehicles had run down a boy. The boy's ease was that his arm was so 'badly injured that he could no longer lift it above his head. "F. E.'s" cross-examina- tion of the boy was carried out very, very quietly—and very, very effec- tively: "Now, my boy," he said. "Your arm was hurt- in the accident?" "Yes, sir," said the boy. "And you cannot lift your arm high now?" "No, sir." "Would you mind," said F. E. very gently, "just showing the jury once more how high you can raise your arm since the accident?" The boy lifted it with an apparent eifort just to'the shoulder level. "And how high could you lift it 'Before the accident?"' asked F. E., in the most innocent manner, and rsp went the arm straight over the boy's head. This was almost as devastating its effects as the famous retort of Sir Edward Carson (now Lard Car- son): "Do you drink?" he once said to a man whose maiiter was• trucul'ent, and whose nose suggested an obvious an- ,swer.

Bible made every part of it of equal authority and value, the Book of Numbers and the Gospel of St. John; and that puzzles people. They are worlds apart, and one contradicts the other. By putting them together in places or time or value, we obscure both. "How to get the Bible, more widely read and intelligently understood is a vital issue before the 'Church, if religion as we know it is to live. It is'. a mistake to suppose that the average man or woman will know how to start in the study of the Bible. They must not simply be told; they must be shown how to read it-. "The Bible must be broken up into pieces, and its books mastered one by one. Like the plays of Shake- speare, the books of the Bible belong to one family,but each is different. Each must be studied in its own set- ting and situation, if we are to know why it was Written, to whom it is addressed, and what it means. This takes time and work` If one masters one book in the Old Testament and one in the . New, each year, he is doing well. It is worth all the work; and when one has mastered ten books, nothing but death will prevent him from mastering them all. No man has the right to hold any opinion whatever about the Bible until he has read it, honestly seargh- ing for the depth of its meaning. The Bible is a world power, and we release the p,o.av er only as we read and ponder arid -incarnate the great truths which are set forth in its pages." Few Car Gadgets Ewer See Market The inventor of the average auto- mobile safety device has two strikes on him before he gets to bat. H. 0. Rounds, of Detroit, who has been looking at new gadgets for 17 years as director of the safety coun- cil of the °Automobile Club of Michi- gan, has seen a lot of them come and go—mostly go: Out of a couple of hundred ideas a year on how driv- ing could (be made safer, few survive to a very lii'nited market. 'And the worst of it is that most of the stuff I've seen does have some applications," he says. "It accom- plishes what they claim. it wilI." "People and manufacturers just aren't safeyt-conscious. A manu- facturer is interested in shaving a cent off the 'building of an autamo • bile, not adding ones You can't blame him 11. that, either, since• safety devices mean little to the majority of buyers. To pry $2.50' away from the car owner for a safety accessory is a tough job. "Just the other day, for instance, a fellow was in here was a scheme to fire -proof the interior of^an auto- mobile. It worked too.. But the best offer he could get ,from an automo- i'ile plant was $1,000. He laughed at that, and I don't blame him. "There was another one, some time ago. He came from Los An- geles and had patented a novel ievice with the principles of the camera shutter for signalling a right' or left turn. I liked it, so did a big manufacturer to the ex- t:efrt of $5,000. Why, if that wasn't worth $100,000, I don't know any- thing about them. (hounds, incidentally, is a strong booster for safety •appliance. His own car is decked with gadgets, headlamp improvements, electric signals, an abundance of• rear-view mirrors. One he strongly indorses is a cigar lighter which makes it unnecessary for the driver to take his eyes from the road. Another is a pair of night driving glasses which the operator peers through by mere- ly lowering his head. Laugs on the Doctors ,And the Lawyers Even doctors will laugh at all or most of the stories told against them and their profession in the volume en- titled, "Humor Among the Doctors." to which Ian Hay contributes a pre- face in which he wittily describes anecdotes as "the small change of history" and warns us not to despise' them on that account. Here is a good one from the chapter entitled, "When the Doctor Trips": "Are you sure I shall recover?" once asked a very anxious patient of his doctor. "I have heard that doc- tors'sometinies give wrong diagnoses and ha,A•e treated a ,patient for pneu- monia who afterwards died of typhoid fever." "Let me tell you sir,"• said the medico, indignantly, "that you have been woefuily misinformed. It very rarely happens that.a diagnosis is wrong; and as far myself, if I treat a man for pneumonia, he dieg of pneulrnonia." Another story of the difficulties of diagnosis concerns a doctor who "was out of joint with all the world": "What an earth is the matter?" said his friend. "You look awfully mad." "I should think so, too,' was the angry reply. "Here have I been treating a patient for three years for yellow jaundice and I've only just found out that he's a Chinaman." Here, too, is a'story of that fam- ous wit and divine Sydney Smith— a story which is also told of Charles Lamb and is therefore probably un- true of either of them; but, still, it• is a good story: Sydney'Smith was given some med- icine by a physician whom be had called in, and instructed to take it on an empty stomach. "Whose stom- ach?" asked the celebrated wit. * * * Quite as dry-flavored—and quite as fatmaliar, though it, too, will bear re- peating—is the story of the profes- sor ,who was lecturing to a class of medical students anxious to get a- way to a football eupi final: At last the clock pointed to the hour at' which the class was usually dismissed, and there was at once a general rising from seats and a cal- lecting of books. "One minute, please, gentlemen," expostulated the lecturer—"one minute, please. Keep your seats. I have still one more pearl to cast." Even doctors have been known to be 'wearied by their patients' com- plaints, as we learn from these two stories, bothof which are too good to he new, hut are no worse for being old: "1 understand," said a friend once to a doctor, "that Brown is a martyr to dyspepsia." "Yes," replied the -doctor, he is dyspeptic all right, but ur,. v:J1„rd.tt it is his wife who is the martyr.” ' "You can '• never talk to .Miss Smith, complained another person to a doe- • tor, "but what she gives you 'a full catalogue of her aiirrienta:" . "Yes," . was the reply, "you might almost call it an organ recital." 'And, of course, there • simply had to be the famous story of Whistler; Whistler once called in .Sir Morel! Mackenzie, the great throat specialist of the Victoria era; and when ]Mac- . kenzie arrived at the painter'shouse he found that he was expeeted to treat a sick French•poodle. Natural- ly he was none too •pleased, but he saw to the dog, took his fee, and" went away. A little while later Mac- kenzie sent for Whistler urgently, and when the latter arrived greeted him with, "Oh, I'm glad you've come;. I just wanted to ask you about hay- ing tiny front door painted." A good story, though one wonders whether Whistler, whose twit wast etched in acid as sharply as anything he ever put on paper, had not an eq- ually crushing reply. * * * 7n his preface to "Humour Among the Lawyers," Mr. J. A. R. Carins, the famous London magistrate, points out that though his collection of stories deals only with 'the lighter side of the courts, it will fulfill one purpose—"the reader.. will discover that criminals haav a queer resembl- ance to him and me --and the bishop." Iiiere is a story about Lork Birk- enhead in his early days at the•bar when he was• representing a railway company, one of whose vehicles had run down a boy. The boy's ease was that his arm was so 'badly injured that he could no longer lift it above his head. "F. E.'s" cross-examina- tion of the boy was carried out very, very quietly—and very, very effec- tively: "Now, my boy," he said. "Your arm was hurt- in the accident?" "Yes, sir," said the boy. "And you cannot lift your arm high now?" "No, sir." "Would you mind," said F. E. very gently, "just showing the jury once more how high you can raise your arm since the accident?" The boy lifted it with an apparent eifort just to'the shoulder level. "And how high could you lift it 'Before the accident?"' asked F. E., in the most innocent manner, and rsp went the arm straight over the boy's head. This was almost as devastating its effects as the famous retort of Sir Edward Carson (now Lard Car- son): "Do you drink?" he once said to a man whose maiiter was• trucul'ent, and whose nose suggested an obvious an- ,swer. "That's my business," snapped the witness. "Any other?" asked Sir Edward, quietly'. The courthouse is the hotheuse of .the withering retort, as we learn from. this story of the. famous Lord Ellen- borough and a well known counsel who was arguing a long and dreary case of real property in the drearie t of dreary manners: Having not yet completed his eaa& at the end of the day, . the barrister applied to knot-* when it would b;,iz their lordships' pleasure to hear thC'' remainder of his argument.
