I ii seldom that oue city can boast thiee presidential possibilities at one time, a distinction that be longs to Cincinnati this year The fact that Cincinnati is in Ohio accounts for it. Ohio is almost as prolific ot pos sible presidents as it is of buckeyes. It uot only has a crop of its own, but when other states want to support the luxury of a favorite son they are often compelled to fall back on a citizen transplanted from Ohio There aiv.' Buckeyes wbo have come to regard the White House as a state institution.

All three are natives of Ohio Taft and Harmon were born in the same county, Hamilton, and Foraker and Harmon were born in the same Fear, 1846. All three are lawyers, and all three sat on the bench of the supe rior court of Cincinnati Foraker and Harmon served in this capacity at the same time Then Foraker was elected governor, and when Harmon resigned from the bench to resume the practice of law In 1887 Foraker appointed Taft to the vacancy. The parallel does not end even here. All three are college graduates, Taft from Yale, Foraker from Cornell and Harmon from Deni Bon. All have lived in Washington.. two as cabinet officers and one as sen ator. All three were originally Repub licans, Harmon breaking away in the Greeley campaign of 1872. Despite present political differences, the three have been warm personal friends. threads of destiny in such strange ways'' Even now this timlv remarka ble parallel is not at an end It is ab solutely certain that at least two of these men and possibly all three are to be disappointed in their presidential aspirations Since leaving the bench of the supe rior court of Cincinnati, Harmon has been attorney general of the United States, Foraker has been governor and senator, and Taft has been solicitoi general of the United States, United States circuit judge, governor of the Philippines and secretary of war.

What fate is it that twists the A "People's Party" Organizer. Although Judge Harmon is being urged as a candidate of the conserva tive Democrats, he was not always classed ou that side of the house There was a time when he was a rad ical of radicals, not only acting as sec retary of the Liberal Republicans in the ill starred Greeley campaign, but the next year helping to organize a People's party, which nominated a state ticket, advised e^erybody to cut out both old parties and wound up by polling not quite so many votes as the Prohibitionists. After that he went ©ut of politics and remained out till 1876, when he became a Tilden Demo crat. In that year he was elected a judge of the common pleas court, but served only four months, when he was unseated ou a contest The radical of today is the conserva tive of tomorrow This fact may be due either to the progression of the mass or the retrogression of the indi vidual.

They will operate without any question of willingness or ability to pay in any case where the situation is imperative. Afterward they will present the bill. The general public does not understand how a sur geon will charge one man $50, another $250 and another $5,000. Surgeons have a fixed price scheme. They aim to charge the patient about one month's income. They figure that any person who is in such bad condi tion as to be forced to submit to a surgical operation surely can afford to give one month's Income. They ascer tain roughly what a man makes per month and send in a bill for that amount. The man whose income is but $50 a month pays $50.

THE SHIPS OF TYRE. TVpes of These Vessels Still In Use In the Far East. Away back, even when Solomon was king in Israel, the ships of Tyre, manned by brave Phoenician sailors, went through the prehistoric canal where the Suez channel is now and navigated from China clear ar rand to England. Their ships were the models for Greece and Rome and later for Venice, the Spaniards and the Portuguese. I Only the Englishman improved on shipbuilding, and from him all mod ern models have dated. In the old Trye models the waist of the ship was low, so the oars could get good play on the surface of the ocean, and the sterns were lofty, so as to give room for stowing cargoes and to provide dry quarters for the upper mariners. As wind power came into use the waist grew higher and the poop deck disappeared. Step by step from galley to caravel, from caravel to frigate, the British shipwrights improved on the ships of Tyre. But in the far east the models have remained much the same, and the ship makers of Persia and India have stuck to the old Tyrian models to the pres ent day. Today their high square sterns re call the ships of Columbus. The mar iners still have to get out of sight of land and steer by stars and the feel of the wind on cloudy nights. They sail around Trinidad and carry pilgrims to Mecca. These vessels, on which the queen of Sheba might have traveled to visit Solomon, are used by native Hindoos, Arabs and by the peoples of Indo China. On board the captain, his men, the cargoes, pilgrims and sheep, asses and other live stock live in a proximity that would stir an American's stomach to immediate rebellion. Nashville American.

My last official intercourse with Gen eral Lee was on the retreat I was sent to him with dispatches from Pres ident Davis and reached him near mid night of April 6 near Rice's station. I approached without being challenged by a single sentinel and found him standing near a smoldering fire with one of his hands resting on an am bulance wheel. He was dictating some order to Colonel Marshall, who sat in the ambulance with a lap desk receiv ing his dictation. As General Lee spoke he gazed into the bed of coals as if weighing every word. There was no staff or escort about, so far as I could see. Touching Sailors Creek, he spoke bitterly and said in answer to Mr. Davis' desire to know his proposed line of retreat that it was beyonu his control that he had intended to re treat by the line of the Danville road, but had been forced off that route by the arrival of Sheridan ahead of him at Burkviile that he was then follow ing the line of the Southside road to Lynchburg, but the enemy was out marching him and might force him off that his movements were dependent on the developments of each hour, and then he added: "How can I tell? A few more Sailors Creeks and it will all be over—just where I thought it would end from the beginning." When I first published this statement its truthful ness was questioned. Fortunately I afterward saw two of his staff, both of whom said they had heard him ex press himself in the same way. There may have been times when General I A Metaphor With a History. To "know a hawk from a hernshaw" Is a metaphor with a curious history. It is a comparison drawn from falcon ry. "Hernshaw" is a corruption of "heronshaw," or young heron, a bird which was a common prey of the fal cons. To know a hawk from a hern shaw is therefore to be able to distin guish the falcon from its prey. A fur ther colloquial corruption crept into the phrase, "to know a hawk from a handsaw," a form used by Hamlet in one place. Possibly the distinction be tween a hawk and a hernshaw was I found not to be strong enough for the purposes of the proverb.—Manchester Guardian.

From the proba bilities based on numbers and resources his judgment may have been warped away now and then by the feeling he expressed when, after Second Manas sas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, he said, "No general ever commanded such troops as those under me." But his mind was too mathematical in its workings, and all its calculations were too habitually based upon what could be done with a given number of men and a certain amount of material to make him forget the vast disparity between the contest ants or hope for ultimate triumph.— John S. Wise in Circle Magazine. A WITTY JUDGE. Hi* Conclusions on the Evidence of Ditto and True. The late Hon. Noah Davis, well known throughout the country as the judge who tried and sentenced Boss Tweed, was justly celebrated in many ways. He was of that type of jurist for which western New York was famed during the half century follow ing 1850. Orleans county is proud of him as one of her noblest and most dis tinguished sons. He was slightly above medium height, full habited, large head, fine, clean cut face—indeed, a striking figure in any community. He was a well read lawyer, an honest, fair minded judge, with a keen sense of humor and withal something of a writer and poet. The following lmes from his pen, written on the spur of the moment and in the midst of a trial. Illustrate the alertness and quality of his mind. They are perhaps the best play upon words of which we have any record in the English language. It was at the Niagara circuit in the early seventies. Judge Davis presided. An action in ejectment was called. The dispute was over a party wall or a division line. It was purely a ques tion for the civil engineer. The divi sion line established and the case was won. The defendant's attorney, realiz ing this, called as expert witnesses the Hon. John A. Ditto, city engineer of Buffalo, and the Hon. A. R. True, the engineer who constructed the canta lever bridge over Niagara river at the falls. They were two of the most emi nent civil engineers in the state. They made a survey of the premises and es tablished the division line as contended for by the defendant and when called to the witness stand so testified, giving monuments, courses and distances with such minute exactness that they could not be successfully controverted. The moment True, who followed Ditto as a witness, left the stand, Judge Davis wrote these lines and passed them to the clerk to hand to plaintiff's counsel: Since True swears ditto to Ditto, And Ditto swears ditto to True, If True be true and Ditto be ditto, I think they're too many for you. —Daniel H. McMillan in Buffalo Truth. Man and His Sweet Tooth.
