Pioneer Justice in Michigan,


A story that Judge Reilly occasionally
repeats when the subject of Michigan
justice is up for discussion, runs sub
stantially as follows:
When Gratiot county, Michigan, first
began to be disturbed by pioneers, and
after it had its first justice of the peace,
farmer named Dawson walked three
miles to secure warrant for the arrest
Of his neighbor named Meacham for as
sault and battery. To save the constable
a six mile trip the defendant walked with
the plaintiff. They encountered his honor
just leaving his house with his gun on his
shoulder, and Dawson halted him with:
esquire, I want a warrant for this man
for striking me-"
'Pm in an awful hurry" said the
squire. "Come tomorrow"
'sSo'm in a hurry, and I'm going to
have raising tomorrow"
"Meacham, did you hit him?" asked
the justice.
"Yes."
Dawson. did you strike first3"
"No."
"Meacham, had you rather work for
Dawson three days than go 20 jails"
81 guess so," answered Meacham.
"And will that satisfy you. DAWSON
Eyes"
"Then make tracks for home, and don't
bother me another minute! My son has
just come in with the news that an old
bear and three cubs are up the same
beech, down at the edge of the slashing,
and I'm going to have some bear meat II
it upsets the supreme bench of Michigan.

Montevideo Leader: Heretofore
there have been three men who de-
sired to sell out, where there has been
one who wanted to buy farm. This
unnatural condition of affairs, quite
common in new countries, has we
trust, passed away for good, in this
portion of our earthly paradise.
Good crops have been the rule, while
a complete failure is something I'M
known here. Land Is still cheap, but
1t is no longer drug. Prices are
steadily increasing not only for new
land but for improved farms, and
there is very little state school or
railroad land in the market, and no
more government land, the next year
or two will see all this picked up, and
then prices will advance more rapid
". Five years from now farms and
farming lands in upper Minnesota
Valley will sell quick at from two to
three times the present ruling prices.
This is our opinion, and we are will
ing to have you make note ofsit.

Do horses reason? A friend Of The
Portland Transcript thinks his does. He
drove him to watering trough the
other day, into which some one had
thrown the stump of an old broom. The
horse held back his head in disgust, but
presently took the offending broom be-
tween his teeth and threw It from the
trough. Then he held back his head and
waited for the water to run clear.
Presently he smelled of it, but not being
satisfied he waited again, and yet again.
Finally he put his nose into the water
and swashed it around, apparently to
slop out all impurities before he consent
ed to drink. Now how did the horse
know that the water would run pure? It
must have been the result Of observation
and memory. All horses know enough
to refuse to drink impure water. Horse

mosphere. Semi-diurnal tides-eor-
responding to the oceanic tides-have
been detected at four seaports, but OBJ
servations at inland stations have
given different results. The difficulty
of settling the problem is due to the
fact that the mercury in the baromet-
er is affected by the alterations in
gravity produced by the moon.
