Caleb Cushing's Dress.
Caleb Cushing's peculiar manner of
dress and his eccentricities were fre
quently the subject of newspaper arti
cles. Although quite a large and portly
man, his clothes always seemed to be
two or three sizes too large for him
and of the cheapest material. He al
ways during both summer and winter
wore a large cloth cap pulled close
down on his head and altogether look
ed anything but the brilliant jurist
and diplomat. One day, after reading
an unusually caustic comment upon
his dress, he remarked to a friend,
"I guess by the time that fool is as old
as I am he will care more for comfort
than fashion."
