A BAD Practice CnECKED.-As is
well known, it has been the custom
since Reconstruction for the bar at the
close of Il term Of court to express in
some form their appreciation of
thc judges stability, impartialitv, courtc-
sy, etc, etc. The following from the
Abbcvillc Press dnd Banner shows
what Judge Prcssly thinks Of such pro-
cccdings:
This being Judge Prcssly's first
Term, tac bar had requested General
MciauWan 70 ac1 as their spokesman in
expressing their regard torhis Honor.
IT the proper time General McGowan
rU<r ir,nn. ms scat and said:
MAY IL please your Honor, this be-
ing your tirsttcrm at this place, have
been requested i'm behalf Of The MEM
bcrs Of thc bar to thank YOU for the
ability with which you have discharged
thc duties Of the high and responsible
oiliec Of Judge, as well as to thank you
for your courtesy toWaras'--
The judge here exhibiting something
Of nervousness, mtcrrupting the Gen
cral, said:
81 have malc it my custom, General,
to rule all such proceedings out Of OF
der, and must insist upon adhcring to
my custom in this instance"
The interruption was SO unexpected
that the general was much taken aback, ,
and rs hc took his seat, only added:
"Thcre was no harm meant"
Judge Pressly is eccentric in some
things, but he has certainly very COR
rect ideas about bar resolutions of
thanks. We hope his action will pat
an end to very useless practice.

educational paper. II is now enlarged
to an eight-page monthly, with an entire

following is clipped from the Practical
Teacher, of Chicago:
"Emporia is fast becoming IN educi-
tional center OF Kansas. The Educa-
tionalist, four page folio, published at
Emporia, is about Ia close its first vol

claims, but is more creditable To the

Unfortunately he was from back east.
He had only lived in Kansas twenty
four hours. On Saturday afternoon
while at Emporia Junction, he ran onto
very remarkable pocket knife in the
possession of an innocent looking indi-
vidual. Sometimes it would open and
then again it would not. A third party
appeared and won small bet by Open
ing the knife, The owner got excited
and Offered to bet twenty-five dollars
that it could not be opened again. This
being in excess Of the former winners
funds and being out Of reach of his
bank account, he succeeded in ahorrow-
ingn the cash on shares from our eastern
man, who plainly saw that his new part
nerh had the drop on his opponent. TWAS
n deep, dark MYSTERY, but the combined
power and talent of the two could not
open the knife. The loosing man hated
il dreadfully ON his new friends account
and would make it all right with him
just as soon az he could. Our hero from
the east suddenly discovered that the
whole thing was a put up job, . and he
at once started of to gather up all the
available arms of the law to set upon the
thieves, but capripded 10 go back and
shoot both Of them full Of holes. But
the sharpers had taken the hint or train,
he could not tell which, and the last we
saw of down east he was rushing up
town to hunt mp an operator to telegraph
(he did know where) and have the thieves
made an example of. We were under
the impression that thai old pocket knife
swindIe was lost during the flood, but il
seems NOT.
