About the best specimens of ready wit

\ JUDGE LEARNING HIS TRADE

n JUDGE LEARNING HIS TRADE-You
will perhaps be surprised when l tell you
that the ablcst lawyer of this or any other
bar, when he is for the first time appointed
a Judge. has to learn his trade, as much as
the mechanic apprentice. OF course | do
not mean by this that he has to learn the
law, for | am supposing him to be learned
in the law. But what the apprcnticcd me-
chanic learns of his master is not the sci
ence Of mechanical forces, at least not
mainly that. What he does acquire in that
apprenticeship. is skill in the use of his
tools. This is precisely what am saying
of a new judge. Let me illustrate this
from my own experience, for it is closely
related to training in lawyer. 1t is in
fact the same thing. I am very sure that
it does not take me half the time now that

fact within my own knowledge. During
the past winter some time n member of a

have to stop spinning cotton and buy yarn
in the South, as they could buy cheaper
than they could spin. And they were bred
to the business and themselves manage their
factories. In March and April last | was

the conclusion that the mills there could

merry such occasions; the bride was adorned
for her husband in all her blushing beauty
and angelic lovelincss, with throbbing
heart, anxiously awaiting the arrival Of
her bc.rothed At a tardy hour he arrived.
His appearance told too we'll that he had
broken his pledge, so sacrcdy given, to
drink no more. The resolute young maid

the most bare-faced bulldozing ever known

resorting to the lowest tricks to carry their
purpose. All liquor dealers were prose-
cuted just before the election, and to
escape Imprisonment and fines accepted
the only alternative. to vote the kepubli-
can ticket. The Globe charged that dis
trict attorneys in every county in the state
acted in concert in this respect, and
wherever the unfortunates were too indie
pendent to do as they required it was so
arranged that they were restrained of their
liberties on election day. Parties convict
ed of theft, assaults and other crimes 10 is
alleged, have had their cases mol pressed

Globe asserted that it had afidavits to
prove all its charges. 1t charged that
