The LEADER has no grounds for allcg-
ing that the utmost courtesy was not
shown to Judge Bergman by the distlct
Judge in the recent controversy. No one
who knows the facts can say otherwise
than that Judge Scott was as forbearinR
as the circumstances wonld allow.-The
Sun.
Nevertheless The LEADER alleged
grounds that seemed pretty reasonable to
the mind OF conservative thinking peo-
pie, An inevitable part of the Suns
stock in trade is the general denial. 1t
enters a general denial at every coneeiv-
able opportunity and seems to consider
this sufficient ever when specific allega
iions are entered. Our contemporary
entertains queer ideas of the intellectual
capacity of the people of Wyoming.
When it says a thing is so it appea TO
think it must he so and that no argu-
ment is required to strengthen its posi-
ton. This used to be Speaker Reeds
method Of argument but it didn't pay
in the long run.
Perhaps the Sun may live long enough
to gain wisdom but we doubt it.

One of the most remarkable specta-
rles one sees in London is that of a
man playing a barrel organ through
the streets. He Is sometimes accom-
panied by his wife, who gathers the
pieces of money contributed by au-
ditors, The organ is a particularly
good one; it must have cost a small
fortune, for it has five cylinders and
discourses fifty tunes. But the most
remarkable feature of all is the placard
surmounting the organ and announc-
ing that the man playing the instru-
ment Is the son of an earl, compelled
by parental harshness to carr his liv-
ing. The placard speaks truly, for this
eccentric person is the Viscount Hin
ton, son of a noble earl.
This eccentric individual quarreled
with his father fourteen years ago, and
since then has led a life of vicissitude.
He first took to vocalism in the Lon
don music halls, and enjoyed fair sue.
cess until finally his voice failed him
and he had to adopt other means for a
livelihood. 1t occurred to him to turn
troubadour. He secured a fine barrel
organ on credit and proceeded to tour
the highways and byways of the me-
tropolis. His two children were adopt
ed by the dowager Duchess of Cleve-
land; the son is a subaltern in the
Welsh fusileers and the daughter it at
school-Eugene Field in Chicago

Robert A. Smith, Jr., was born in
Green River, Wyo., Aug. l. 1880 His
parents were born in Scotland and his
father is editor and proprietor of the
Rock Springs Miner. Young Robert has
spent all his life in Green River and Rock
Springs except about ak months when he
vent with his parents on a trip to Europe.
At school he has alwys been diligent in
his studies, bis average during Ootober
last being 90. 1t was about 4 o clock in
the afternoon of Oct. 81 when the ~circHla-
tor Of The LEADER called at Mr.. Smiths
house. When Robert was told of the
prizes offered by THE LEADER he went to
work Immediately. That evening be se-
cured several names. He said to his
mother; Those Cheyenne boys have =
big start, but | am going to work for the
first prize" From that very moment he
never faltered nor hesilated. Very likely
he received a good many rebutfs as all So
licitors do. but young as he was. he was
not discouraged in the least. He started
out to do his best and win if he could.
His eF5its we're crowned with success.
1t will be remembered that Arthur Rich

three and sixty six names respectively,
when Robert Smith had only fise. One
might travel a good many thousand miles

what she Medical RECORD says .fm.

what she Medical Record Says Eft.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-Dr. George F.
Shrsdy, editor Of the Medical Record, in
an article upon the epidemic of influenza
says:
"There is now no doubt that influenza,
or what is popularity known as "the
grip" has become scattered broadcast.
1t is also quite as evident that its general
characteristics correspond with those
noted in connection with the prevailing
type of the malady 10 Russia, Germany
and France. Fortunately it is of such q
mild type that, save its INVASION Of large
districts and for the large pumber of per-
sons attacked. it would scarcely be nc
ticed in the category OF ailments cor
nected with the usual ones which occur
during the Winter months, associated
with rapid and varied changes of ten
perature and humidity.
"The reports Of fatalities of the dis
ease, as might be expected, have been
very much exaggerated. Particularly
does this remark apply 20 the death rate
in Paris. In point of fact, there is no
disease with such wide prevalence which
has such a comparatively low mortality.
''In this country, at least, there is yet
to be reported the first case of death
which can be laid to pure and simple
attack of the disease. Even the serious
complications are so few as scarcely to
merit recognition along side OF those
which are constantly occurring with the
usual disease of the season. The after
effects of the epidemic will doubtless be
marked by feelings of piostrstion, more
or less continued and lowering of the
health tone. TIE previously robust will
quickly rally, while the feeble will re-
quire stimulants and tonics for variable
periods"
