takes a common sense view of the
situation and speaks editorally as
follows: "The action of the United
States grand jury at Madison in indict.
ing q. l.. Williams, county judge OF
Wood County, upon the charge OF
procuring fraudulent pension, seems
to have been based rather upon
suspicion than upon fact
Judge Williams (whom the Wiscon-
sin does not know is man of stain
less reputation In his home at Grand
Rapids. He has published letter
bearing many evidences of perfect
sincerity and honesty in which he
modestly claims that the facts will
prove his course in the pension matter
with which he is identified to have
been one of perfect personal and pro
fessional rectitude.
If his neighbors can believe him
thoroughly, the general public which
knows only that the name of an
honorable judge has been smirched,
can afford to hold judgment in abey-
ance. The reputation of judge even
more than that of private citizen, if
that we're possible, is a sacred thing,
not to be lightly or thoughtlessly
stained even by suspicion"

4 story for Young Men Who Long
for Journalism.

| q story Tor Young Mon Who Long
for Journalism.
For reasons not necessary to state,
the subject of this story lives four miles
from his place of business. During tho
recent labor troubles his duties were
not moro onerous than usual. He was
told to come to his Office one day at
noon. Then he was ordered to 60 to
the scene of the strike, and there. in
the dust and facing almost every con-
eeivable object, he stood, climbed, ran
and walked over railroad ties, over
ears, across lots, up stairways and into
places where men were consulting on
private business. When he told his
mission he was abused or given to UNI
derstand that it was none of his bus
mess. He persisted, and by putting his
ear over keyhole and pulling at every
man, woman and child he succeeded
in gathering some threads of informa-
ion.
1t was night when he turned his foot
steps toward his office. He was
hungry and dusty and dry. But he
was expected to come to- his post He
sat down at desk and wrote until
midnight-putting the threads together
which he had picked up during the
day. There was little woman in
homo four miles away who sat down to
table alone and partook of the dainty
meal she had prepared for him with
her own hands. When it was cold she
knew he would not come. She had
placed the little one in the crib, and
had eaten her dinner with no compan-
ion about her save the measured
strokes of a pendulum-and they grew
louder and louder at each stroke. A
little later she prepared lunch and
left Il on the table and went to her bed.
When he had finished his work on the
the duty of the day his superior said he
would have to ask him to go over on
the north side to the city limits and
look up q case which had been re.
ported.
It was nearly o'clock when he came
Ack and it was 8 o'clock when he
inished this assignment. He had to
wait for q car twenty minutes. When
he arrived at home it was 4:S0. He sat
down to the table where tender hands
had prepared the luncheon. Daylight
and the thunder of the city had met for
another contest when he went to his
rest. Before doing this he pinned a
note ON the baby's crib, addressed to
his wife, asking her to call him ut 10
A. NJ, as he had an assignment at II.
The little one opened its eyes and held
up its hands for kiss. The man actu-
ally had no time to give It, but he did,
and then ran away. The young man
had been working in that way-no OK
nggeration--for one, two, three and
Sve years. Nobody ever calls him
iaboring man, and when, the other day.
I beard him tell his story, which l
know to be true, the man to whom he
old it said, you are fool to do it."
The man answered, "But If didn't
% it, there is another fool who would"

towns of the republic of Texas 1here

the stirring and exciting times OF those
early days. The country, in his boy
hood and youth, was full Of desperate
men. and San Augustine being near
the neutral strip between Texas and
Louisiana, where outlaws, murderous
and reckless men most congregated,
this portion Of the State was often
visited by these men. And then, too,
the REGULATORS and moderators Of East
Texos were in their palmiest days
during that time, and human life was
as cbcop almost as the lives of dogs in
This generation. San Augustine had a
hard name in her early history, and it
was nearly as common for men to Kill

Texas where more men have lost their
lives by violence than in San Angus

way from what it was IN It's

in her midst. Mr.. Ardrey entered the

Men here, as IA rule, are rather low
statured. They are, nevertheless, strong
and why. although the amount of food
they individually put away is very
small and of inferior quality. Sinewy
and brawny lmbed giants like Artevelo
and Caboche, the peasant born cavaliers
of the middle ages, seem as utterly eX-
tinct as the race of Irish wolf dogs. 1t
Is, for Instance, a rare sight to see in
Milan an individual over six feet in
height. while dwarfs waddle up against
you at every street corner. Everywhere
your eye falls on cripples, hunchbacks
and otherwise deformed unfortunates of
both sexes-the percentage of such folks
being enormously large from one end of
Lombardy to the other.
After having made a very minute i'll
quiry into the cause of this anomaly, L
am in a position to inform you that it is
the result of marriage in the forbidden
degrees of kinship. Lombardians are
very clannish in their customs. First
cousins wed first cousins, and uncles and
nieces, unable to get their union officially
sanctioned, ignore the law-the result
being that the children born of such
par ents are, in some way or another,
miserable deformities-cripples. dwarfs
and hunchbacks. or idiots and lunatics.
Gentlemen having the welfare of their
nation at heart are doing their best to
combat the evil; but | am sorry to say
that they have ~signally failed in their
efforts.
