gress. have watched Plumb for long
time. and L have never seen him idle.
He lives at the Shoreham hotel, but
keeps a den" on Fourteenth street, near
the newspaper Offices This den, which
is a curiosity in its way, the senator en-
tiers regularly every morning at )
o'clock. For two hours he does nothing
but sit there. with his western SLOUGH
hat upon his head. reading newspapers.
He is the most omniverous newspaper
reader | know Of.
He takes all the New York papers,
several from Chicago, one from Phlla-
delphia and perhaps a dozen dsilles from
other large cities. Three daily papers
from Kansas City and two from st,
Louis reach his Office regularly. There
are magazines and weekly publications
bv the score. But the bulk Of the SEN
ator's newspaper mail comes from his
own state. be is subscriber TO every
paper in Kansas As there are four or
FIVE hundred papers in that state, a score
or more of them published daily, it is
easy 10 see that Senator Plumb has his
hands full
Hereadsa newspaper like the exchange
editor of a great daily. His typewriter
operator opens the papers and spreads
them out on his desk, and when the
senator goes at them they disappear at
the rate of three a minute. A rapid
glance finishes one page, and a second
glance another. But nothing of interest
to him escapes his quick eyes
Il believe in the local newspapers,
saws Senator Plumb. They are the lead
ers. the makers Of public sentiment
They are nearer to the people than any

Speaking about judges" said Jones
the other day, ''let me tell you of the
old alcalde we used to have out in Mari
posa. In the early days, just after we
had acquired Lower California from
Mexico, the judicial system had not been
organized under the laws of the United
States, and by common consent the old
alcalde continued to hold court and set
tie disputes. Most of the litigation grew
out of mining claims. The laws were
very crude and unsatisfactory, and so
we made lawof our own to the effect
that Ii man did no work on his claim
for thirty days it could then be taken
possession Of by another.
''One poor fellow named Harris took
claim and worked it for week or two
and then fell sick. Week after week
passed and he grew no better, and finally
the thirty days, and then forty and
more had elapsed since dirt had been
turned over on his claim. There wasn't
a man in the camp that would jump the
claim, but a stranger came along, sized
up the situation and took possession. As
Joon as Harris was able to leave his bed
ne brought suit of ejectment in the al
calde's court. 1t was a clear case. The
evidence was overwhelming that the
original claimant had lost his rights I'M
der the local law, and nothing re-
NAMED for the alcalde to do but
10 decide in favor of the defend
ant. This he was very reluctant
to do, and was hemming and having
over his decision when Harris, seeing
that the case was going against him,
lost his temper and sprang at the throat
Of the man who had dispossessed him of
his property. The men clnched and
rolled upon the floor, with Harris on top,
and in fair way to choke the wind out
of his antagonist. Two or three bailiffs
ran forward to pull the man off, when
the old alcalde, his eyes flashing and his
gray hair waving about, leaped from his
bench with q revolver in his hand, shout
ing:
"Let no man touch them. These liti-
giants are settling their difficulty in their
own way, and it is the duty of this court
to encourage private adjustment of all
disputes. If any man touches them I'll
shoot him on the spotr
No man did touch Them" added Sen
Rtor Jones, land Harris gave his man
such licking that he was not able to do
n stroke of work for six weeks; and
Harris thus got his claim back. That is
the sort Of justice we used to have in
the wild west"
Laughter over this anecdote had not
Eubsided when Senator Jones was re-
minded of another story
"Out in San Francisco a good many
years ago." he said, "a Hebrew mer-
rhant killed a man. lie was indicted
and brought up for trial The jury was
lmpaneled. Johnson was the name Of
the first man drawn. Johnson ex-
rlaimed the defendant, dot ish bat.
