He Has Forgotten IL.

frOnl the Atlalta journal.
Associate Justice Lueius ouintius Ceyitius
Lamar. it is well known has never made his
circuit of the federal courts of the southern
district He Is expected to do so; in fact, the
law says he must do so once year. but
the justice has never been seen on his judicial
rounds.
Why does not Mr. Lamar make the circuit?''
was asked Of United States court official
Il don't know. Justice Wood used to 90 on
the circuit pretty regularly; but suppose Mr.
Lamar has forgotten about il. You know. when
he leaves Washington he takes memorandum
of what he must carry with him. he is so absent
minded; and it Is said that on one occasion a
slip OF paper was found near his desk reading.
Memo: one wife. He was doubtless afraid he
would forget her"

A BailiT Levies on a Train,

FROM the Macon telegraph
The Covington and Macon fast train, due al
O'Clock yesterday, was half an hour late.
Two men had claims against Colonel Machen
the head OF the road, amounting to $40. The
lien was placed in the hands OF Baliff Dickens,
with orders to get the money. He walked
down 10 the station and in few minutes the
regular passenger and mail train from Macon
came laundering up to the station. As it
stopped trace chain was run through a wheel
on the engine and mail car and locked to the
track. This delayed the train half AN hour
At last the idea struck the baliff that he was
disobeying Uncle Sans rules in stopping a
mail train. SO the shackles were loosed and the
tram allowed to proceed ON its way.

A Butte County Girl.

DARING FEAT OF A BEAUTY OF THE FOOTHILLS
From the Chico Enterprise.
Near Forest Ranch, in the mountains above
Chico, resides young lady who for grit and
pluck we'll take off our hat to every time.
The lady in question Miss Kate Lucas. resides
on mountain ranch with her mother and
brothers, the latter being engaged in furnish
ing the meat used by the large lumber crews
high up in the Sierras. Miss Lucas is tall.
1.-the and well-built girl, with red, rosy cheeks.
jet black hair, bright, flashing eyes, and is
the acknowledged belle of that vicinity.
She is an intrepid horsewoman, and
rides fearlessly and alone over the noun
tain slopes and through the -ravines. She
scorns saddle and at times rides fiery mus
taug without either bride or blanket, simply
using iariat, the end tied around her horse 5
head and neck. She is a capital shot with the
rifle and has worsted many Of the crack shots
there by her unerring aim. She has been out
with her brothers hunting, and very rarely fails
to bag deer or other wild animals which SO
abound in that section. Sometimes the young
miss assists IN capturing the wild cattle when
they are required for the market. and then the
lariat Is twirled with precision that often puts
the vaqueros to shame.
A few weeks ago, after daring ride after n
particularly wild and feet-footed steer. which
showed tight from the start, the young lady
laughed at the vaquero, who seemed afraid of
the animal, and smilingly challenged him to
.nfo" rope over the anlmals head and ride
him. The vaquero declined with thanks. Miss
Lucas then displayed piece of courage and
daring worthy of the ancient Roman arena
Springing from her horse, she went up to the
bound and believing beast. quickly and
deftly tied rope around his head and
neck, then told the vaquero to let him
loose. This he did reluctantly. and the en-
ragged steer was quickly Oh its feet but equally
as quick the fearless lass was on its back. Then
commenced a ride that is rarely witnessed. For
half an hour the wild chase and ride was con-
tinued-over hill and dale, through brush and
canyon-when the steer gave completely out
and the triumphant girl led her captive to the
house. 1t was bold feat and the daring rider
has made herself famous in that section of the
country

were somewhat surprised to learn that one OF
the heirs had only left there on the previous
day, after having spent a week in the neighbOr-
hood. II seems that it had been learned from
counsel just what the government was going to
do, so leave of absence from the Treasury de-

not. IN some degree, be eounteracted just

THE county commissioners on Tuesday re- voked the license of W. w. Cameron of the Rockville House for permitting minors to loiter in his saloon. It is reported that the board was not unanimous in this matter, plain as is the law which left but one course of action open to them. Mir. Cameron for feits his bond of $500 in addition to loss of license. The best feature of the license law is this provision making penalty for permit ting youths to come within the baleful atmos- phere of the saloon.

THE friends of the prohibition amendment are not sure that they care to have it voted upon just at present. There IS no doubt that there is at this time reaction against rigid sition to retire from the advancing column of states whose constitutions bar out the liquor traffic as a crime, and Massachusetts declina- tion also to join these has stifened up the opposition. There have been times when an amendment would have been accepted by the people of Connecticut, and the time may come again. Temperance sentiment is fostered by education, and temperance legislation is got by educating voters. To be successful it must not be partisan. Evil has been done by ultra so-called temperance agitators. As 8 rule the spasmodic workers in any cause are not those who strike the really effective blows. It is not partisan work to promote temper ance, and it is 8 mistake to take any course to make it such. Partisan laws, enacted by one enforce when made. If passed in Connecticut the amendment will need the vote of nearly all who believe that the sale and manufacture of intoxicants is detriment to the public good. We say nearly all. It is hopeless to expect that all such will support, for there are thousands of honest voters who will op- pose prohibition because they do not believe that it can be enforced, but that rum will be sold whether or no. Such men do not be- ieve in the rule of the majority; they virtu- ally surrender their convictions. Their argu- ment if carried out would abrogate every law against every crime. They may not so look at it, but they are advising that the law abid- ing majority surrender to the lawless.
 The amendment will also be voted against by some who favor prohibition enactments, but do not want the constitution to be in any sense substitute for law. This was the case in Massachusetts. In that state 30 per cent. of the voters did not vote on the amendment. A large part of these were farmers who favor prohibition, but feared that their interests were threatened by the inclusion of cider with prohibited drinks. It is claimed that in that state hard work was put in by the friends of the amendment only. The orgies and re- joicings of the liquor men, accounts of which filled the papers on the morning following the election, do not so indicate. When it was seen that the sscider scare" among the farm CTS was going to do the work the saloon keep CTS relaxed their efforts, and only. then. Their interest was the same in the result, and the non-voting class were not generally those who would have voted for the saloon.
