DEFENsE OF JUDGE DURELL,

The Washington Chronicle Of the ff-
teenth instant devotes eight columns of
its space to an elaborate vindication of
the course Of Judge Durell in connection
with the political events of las. winter.
The writer is exhaustive and enthusiastic.
He devotes considerable space to events
that preceded the election of 1872 and to
those that rapidly followed in its wake
the struggle for the control of the return
ing board by Governor Warmoth. the de-
cisions Of the various courts on the sub
ject. the defiance and overriding Of their
rulings. the PRONUNCIATION Of tie new
elsction law to avoid them, and all the
rapidly occurring phases of the subject,
down to the fling Of the chancery suit of
Kellogg VS.. Warrloth in the United States
District Court, and finally, when the Or
ders Of that cour: were deied. the order
of the presiding judge to the United
States marshal to take charge Of the
building used as State House. The
writer cites Law. authority and argu:nen:
to show the correctness Of Judge Durell's
proceedings and the errors Of the commit
tee of the Senate in thei. conclusions
thereupon. He has evidently devoted to
the subject time. reflection and study and
his premises are tenable and his concil:-
s;ons unavoidable.
But it seems to us the writer has de-
voted a srea. deal Of labor to proving
what no one has yet il. a logical way at
tempted to gainsay. To be sure. Judge
DureI has been made the sub;ec: of bitter
partisan attacks. which have been most
outrageous At times in their tone. The
purity Of his private character has been
assailed by those who lacked legal knoTl-
edge OF argumentatiye weapons with
which to combat lis views. But be has

poor but promising machinest there. Soon

HIeNin,s lnr

1t was great many years ago, at a camp
meeting, that Brother Higgins, a good man
but passionately fond of dogs, came in one
day accompanied by a black-and-tan hound.
Somebody asked him to address the congrega-
ton, and he mounted the stand tor that pur-
pose. while his dog sat down on his launches
Immediately in front, looking at his master,
In the midst of the discourse, which entertain
ed us much, another dog came up, and after a
few sociable shifts at Brother Higgins began
to examine the hind leg of the latter with his
teeth apparently for the purpose of asceri ain
ing if it was tender. An animated contest
ensued, and one of the congregation came
forward for the purpose of separating the ami
mails. His efforts were not wholly successful,
He would snatch at the leg of Higginss dog,
hut before his hand got there the yellow dog
would be on that side, and would probably
take an incidental and cursory bite at the dea-
cons hand. Brother Higgins paused in his
discourse and watched the deacon. Then he
exclaimed, "Spit in his eye, Brother Thomp-
son; spit in the hounds eyer' Brother
Thompson did, and the fight ended. ''But
just want to say" continued Mr.. Higgins,
"tAat outside of the sanctuary that dog of
mine can eat up any salmon-colored animal
IN the State, and chaw up the bones of its
ancestors for four generations without turn

The Otoe Indians and Quaker Bonnets.

A Western paper is responsible for this story,
which anybody who knowns anything from ex-
perience of the Indians can readily believe to
be quite true:
sit was reserved for the Quakers, who have
charge of the Ctoe Indians dwelling on the Big
Blue in South Nebraska, however, TO cap the
climax. For years the Quakers have labored to
civilize the Otoes, with what success the de-
nouement shows. The Philadelphia Quakers
recently received intelligence from the Otoe
missionary that the squaws had no bOnnets.
The Quakeresses were dumb-founded at this
startling intelligence, and, in the goodness of
their hearts, they set themselves to v OTk and
obtained a hundred bonnets, which they forth
with despatched by the first express to the Otoe
missionary When the bonnets arrived the
missionary's wife summoned the squaws to-
gether and fitted bonnet on each fair head
The Indian bellies, however, with that curiosity
which belongs to the female sex, whether black
copper-colored or white whipped them off to
look at them, and having got them off couldn't
get them on again. They had them on bottom
side up, wrong side before and every way Ian Z
the right way. This was sufficiently Distress
ing. but the worst was to come.
There is a custom among the Otoes that No
brave can sit down between sunrise and sunset
without disgrace. He can lie down, kneei
down, lean up against tree, stand on his
head or turn haLdsprings, but he musn't sit
square down on any account whatever From
time to time, however, it appeared that some
OF the Otoe braves had treacherous memories,
and sat down before they thought, and thus
fell into disgrace. To obviate this difficulty
each brave is provided with what is termed
crow cushion, an affair so contrived and fas-
tened TO MIN that the moment commences
10 stoop in the sitting process pm runs into
him and remind him of the offence he is about
to commit.
Meanwhile the squaws went. to their wig
vans, carrying their bonnets IN tbelr bands,
as they couldn't get them on their heads again.
The Warrior, taking them for ''crow cushions"
at once coDfiscated them. The next morning
the souaws were out bareheaded as usual, while
each bold rrlor had bonnet fastened on
him, panier fashion. 1t was not long, however,
before the new ''crow cushions" were wrecked
The warning pin was not on them, and as the
forgetful braves one after the other sat down,
they wrecked the gentle Quakeresses's dona-
tions, and reduced them to a fiat surface of
straw and ribbon

Gladstone on Wealth and Newspapers.

Gladstone recently said at public dinner
that had there been absolutely no wealth in
all Great Britain in 1916, had there been no
stored capital Of any form, but had the riches
of the country been completely exhausted
and then stood at zero, nevertheless in three
score years since, Great Britain would have
acquired all her present gigantic wealth, had
her people since 1915 in every year created
wealth at the same rate as they have been
creating it recently. This was the moral
which he drew from these amazing facts:
''But what does all this mean? 1t means,
with such accumulated creations of wealth,
the accelerated movement of the human mind
and appetite connected with its creation-it
means the multiplication of temptations, it
means the greater power of the outer world
over the inner man; it means the application
of more stirring and bewildering instruments
of excitement in the daily course OF life to a
large mass of the community, and this, per
haps, on the whole, its most energetic and
most influential portion. And if from the ac-
quisitlon of wealth we turn to the question OF
its consumption, here again we are met with
other sources OF danger not less formidable in
the incessant growth and empire ofpersonal
luxury, and in that almost insane appetite
for the worst OF all distinctions Wnlcn appear

The Way to Raise a Calf Without
Milk

Farmers who sell their milk, with some
show of reason declare themselves unable to
raise their calves. But they need not. A
calf is long suffering creature and easily
adapted to artificial cond tions, and its Sup
ply of milk being cut off substitute may be
found with which it may be kept in thrifty
condition. For the first four days it is nee
tssary that it should receive the milk which
is fit for no other purpose, and has certain
medicinal uses for the calf As soon as this
period has passed, it may be furnished with
the substitute feed, as follows: Oatmeal
sifted from The husks is boiled into thin cruel,
strained. swt ct med with brown sugar, and
fed to the calf; having previously been taught
to drink, the calf will readily take ration of
a quart three times day, which may
be increased gradually as it becomes
older. Finely cut clover hay, the choicest Of
the early harvest is mixed with seal. ed oat-
meal, sweetened and ted in small quantities.

too loose teaspoontul of prepared chalk is
given as a corrective. With this feed and
good care calf will thrive and grow better
