That Telegraph Pole,
Lewiston Journal.

Lewiston Journal.
"Struck queer old fellow up
country" said one of the men who
planted the poles for new telegraph
company in this State.
He first came across us about two
miles from his house as he was driv-
ing home from the village.
"Says he, Coming up my way with
them ARP '..
/" Guess So said I.
" Wal, don't yer tech the sile along
my fence. Wouldn't have one 'er
them poles planted 'erlong side my
premises for a hundred. Spite the
looks of every thing
81 told him that we would see
about it and he rode away swearing
bloody murder. Well, we got up to
his farm late the next day, and if it
wasn't a dirty mean place then I'll
eat a ~oil OF wire. Blinds off, barn
caved in, old pung canted up in the
front yard, oh, it gave me pain.
Old Particular was there in full war
paint. He cursed and blew and
threatened when we began to set
pole in his door-yard. But we went
ahead with the biz and left with the
earache. This man said he'd never
sleep till he'd chopped the old
CALLERS down and he wouldn't eat
till he'd used the wood to cook his
grub.
II laughed when I drove down by
that house a lew days ago, about a
year after we planted the poles. 1t
looked as though old hufy had be-
come pretty we'll reconciled to that
outrage
ellis wife had hitched a clothes
line on to that pole aud he had used
1T for the corner post of a shelter
shed. Then on t'other side he had
nailed a cleat and hung up bush
scythe and mud hoe; calf and a big
sheep were hitched to it. He had
some boards, some iron rods and
bolts lying near and as near as
could judge was getting ready to
swing a gate on the much enduring
pole. Above embellishments on the
pole two signs. 'ShoTes for Sale and
'OrktiOn next TeWsdaY.'
Il called the kicker out of the tie
up and Informed him that we should
move the pole, and as hurriedly
drove away l hearn him shouting,
why, then to gosh It all Joos'lum
DON We? IT'S been anavo.soro o1or
sence you struck in my door-yard!"

August Uthoff is an Elkhorn sa-
loon-keeper, who was arrested re-
Gently charged with selling liquor on
the Sabbath. He was taken before
justice at Elkhorn for trial, and
straightway moved for change of
venue.
"What's that?" the court asked.
"We don't want to be tried by
you," Uthoff's attorney responded.
The Judge looked at him in aston
ishment. tn offs attorney expected
a fine for contempt OF court, but he
escaped that.
cpd like to know why not?' the
court remarked warmly.
"Well, we have an affidavit here to
the effect that we feel that we cam
not secure fair and impartial trial.
you're liar!'
"You're unfriendly to u.s."
"1ou're an Internal, no account,
worthless liar. You and your client
ought to be in jail.
I'VE want to go before another
court, anyway.
The justice rose up and roared.
"You make me tired" he cried.
'Do you think this court is going to
have you paving all over the coun-
try like Dogknees looking for a man,
with a lantern to suityour pleasure?
Think the law is a thing to be tried on
like suit of clothes? You sit down
there and give your evidence
Uthoff's attorney complied and
the result was his client was fined a
500 and was sent to jail. But the
attorney appeared before the dis
trict court, recited the facts, and the
saloon man was released.

Western Missouri was perhaps she
greatest bee country that ever exist.
ed. 1t was here that the tree growth
found it's last expression in the

pushed out on the prairie. Here the
trees ceased and here perforce the
bees ceased also. They could go nc
further. So, as year followed year,
with new communities of bees follow.
ing hard the old, and all checked and
held by the eastern boundary of the
treeless plains, there came at last a
day in these parts when a bee was
swinging on every clover bloom and
every hollow tree possessed it's buzz

How Supreme Court Justices.
Study;

Washington letter in The Philadelphia Tele
graph.
From time to time there comes to
the attention OF the Supreme Justices
something relating to every branch
OF human endeavor. The right Of
every man which he guards most
carefully are those relating to the
business or occupation by which he
earns his living. Disputes upon these
rights lead to law suits, and out of
them grow the Supreme Court cases;
and in considering them the Justice
must learn something of the trade or
profession, of the mechanical or the
scientific point involved. Justice
Lamar said, after making q very
careful study Of "a patent case the
other day, that ne had learned some
thing he never knew anything about
before; he had learned all about the
gussets and seams and bands of a
corset. He had learned all about
the stitches used and the number of
steels and where they should go to
support the female form. He had al
most to learn the corset trade in Or
der to deliver a proper opinion in
the case, and he found it quite in
tresting. Thus the Justices have to
acquire all sorts OF mechanical and
scientific knowledge in order to un-
derstand all the cases that come be-
fore them.
There are great land lawyers, great
railroad lawyers, lawyers who make
a speciality Of patents, and some who
know all about the marine law; but
the Justice of the Supreme Court
must be all these, and more; his
powers must be UNIVERSAL; he must
deal with all the branches of the law,
and with the laws of all the States.
The Supreme Court does not divide
its labors, one taking patent cases,
one railroad cases. ETC., but, though
one Justice is named by the Chief
Justice to write out an opinion on
case, the case itself must be thorough
ly studied by every member of the
court. They consider the case to-
gether, after having studied it care
fully each by himself, and they all
discuss it; and they all vote upon it.

A Bows School Life.


"A boys school life, so far as it falls with
IN the view of this paper, is broadly divisi-
BILE into three parts. The first Of these ex-
tends from the age of ten to thirteen or
fourteen, the second from thirteen to six
teen. the third from sixteen to the end. In
the first his education will be limit
ed to the subjects of primary and
universal value, and to these treat
ed simply and effectively. He will
learn Latin and French and elementary
mathematics, English grammar, history
and geography, and such simple facts of
nature as can be taught in the open air. So
lar ne will remain in the hands of his pre-
paratory schoolmsster. Between thirteen
and fourteen he will pass into the public
school. If he begins his public school life
earlier he will be too young to bear
its liberty; if later, he will be too old to
imbibe its spirit. Soon aiterward it
will be necessary to decide whether the
literary part OF his education shall take its
color from the literature of the ancient or
OF the modern world-in other words,
whether he shall or shall not learn Greek,
Ii he learns Greek it will necessarily occu-
py much OF his time in the next tw years;
it not, he will expend the time SO saved
upon German or additional French or
m ma n, These are the years, too in
which ne will best acquire the indispensa-
pie minimum Of scientific knowledge.
But neither in these years nor at any later
time will he be permitted to abandon the
main body OF the primary subjects, al
though it may happen that toward the end
of his school lite he will not retain his hold
upon them all. At sixteen he will make
the great choice OF his lie. In making it,
he will be guided by his tastes, faculties,
needs and opportunities. Whatever it be
that he is led to study in the tour great edu-
cational lines-classical, mathematical,
modern and scientitc-he will devote at
least half his time to it. 1t NAV we'll be
hoped that an education so definite, yet so
elastic, will correspond to the large variety
Of educational demands.-[Head Master OF
