Wild Western Justice.

In frontier settlement in the wild
west German cobbler was elect
ed police justice. His reputation as
an honest toiler was well established,
but his legal knowledge and sense of
humor were SO far of unknown guam
titles.
One of his first cases was that of a
tough citizen who was duly arraigned
for breach of the peace. The Justice
heard the evidence in the case and pro-
nounced sentence of three months in
Jail. This SO enraged the defendant
that he ended in vigorous abuse of
the court by promising to call on him
promptly that day three months and
prepare him for a first-class funeral.
The judge heard this abuse silently,
and then, without emotion, cogitated
as follows:
We'll, you kills me to-day three
months ago, will youP Let me see.
This is Aug. 1. Three months will be
Nov. 1. Thanksgiving will be the 27th.
l will miss my thanksgiving dinner.
Christmas is next. I will miss Christ
mas, too. Six months from Aug. will
be Shanuary. makes it six months.
und den you kills me, will it? You
shust go right away to Jail six months.
and then l see you any more l shoust
shoot you so full of lead it will take Won
steam derrick to lift you down to your
grave. You hear me?"
The six months were up long ago,
and the justice still sits upon his cob
bler's bench when not dispensing
justice from his official seat. The
tough citizen is presumably herding
cattle in Arizona.

John A. Sutter.

John A. Sutter was born in Baden
in 1903 of Swiss parents. and was
proud of his connection with the only
republic of consequence in Europe.
He was warm admirer of the United
States, and some of his friends had
persuaded him to come across the At
lantic. He first went to friend in
Indiana with whom he staid awhile,
helping to clear land, but it was busi-
ness that he was not accustomed to.
So he made his way to st. Louis and
invested what means he had in mer-
chandise, and went out as New Mex
leo trader to Santa Fe. Having been
unsuccessful at Santa Fe. he returned
to st. Louis, joined a party of trap
pers, went to the Rocky Mountains,
and found his way down the Columbia
river to Fort Vancouver. There he
formed plans for trying to get down to
the coast of California to establish
colony. He took vessel that went to
the Sandwich Islands, and there COM
municated his plans to people who as
sisted him. But as there was no vessel
going direct from the Sandwich Islands
to California, he had to take Russian
vessel by way of Sitka. He got such
credit and help as he could in the
Sandwich Islands and induced five or
six natives to accompany him to start
the contemplated colony. He ex-
pected to send to Europe and the
United States for his colonists. When
he came to the coast of California. in
1910, he had an interview with the gov
ernor, Alvarado, and obtained permis-
sion to explore the country and find a
place for his colony. He came to the
bay of San Francisco, procured small
boat and explored the largest river he
could find and selected the site where
the city of Sacramento now stands

I am the result of transmigration-

last of all, blooded horse. I belong

sensibly, trained me to be coquette.

General Grant at School.

He attended the district school. where
he was a fair pupil and noted for his
kindly disposition-a trait of character
which he inherited from his mother.
In after-years, one of his early play
mates said of him: II never saw him
show any resentment, and do not be-
lieve that he ever felt a tinge of it.
He was never rude, oppressive, or dis
agreeable to other children. Once,
when he was very young scholar, he
was very much troubled by one of his
lessons. A school-mate, noticing hi:
perplexity. said, You can't master
that Ulysses replied: Can't What
does it mean?' Why replied the boy,
it means that-that you can't. There!
Ulysses went to the dictionary. ant
tried unsuccessfully to find the wore
there. Then he went to his teacher
and asked him what was the meaning
of the word can't, telling him that he
had searched for it in vain in the die
tionary. The teacher gave a proper
explanation, and added, Ulysses if in
the struggles of life any person should
assert that you can't do a thing you
desire to accomplish, let your answer
be, The word can't is not in the die
tionary. "-Harpe7's Young People.

Too Willing to Suit.

A needy Frenchman once heard that
a marriage was on the tapis between
the daughter of certain wealthy mer-
chant and the son of a rich banker.
The dowry that was to be given to the
bride was 500, 600 francs. The mer-
chant was well known to be on the
lookout for good bargain or to save
dollar, so on this the Partisan found
ed his hopes on good dinner at least.
He accordingly called at the mer-
chants residence and asked the privi-
lege of seeing him on very important
business. After a little while he was
admitted to his presence.
''The matter, sir, on which l called. u
he began, involves for you the prac,
tical saving of 250.000 francs. l.
"Oh, my dear sir, interrupted the
merchant, ''this is too serious to be
discussed before dinner, and, as it is
now my hour for dining, pray take
dinner with me, and we will after
ward consider your proposition at oul
leisure"
Having partaken of a meal that left
a pleasant flavor in the unfortunate's
memory the rest of his life they re
turned to the merchants study.
"And now 1 am ready to hear YOU
proposal" he remarked.
The Partisan, after moment;
thought. began:
Il understand, sir, your daughter i:
to be shortly married to the son of the
banker, D'Argent?'
''Yes, that is true"
''And that her dowry is half mil
lion?"
This was also assented to.
''Well, then. here is my idea; I an
ready to take her for half that sum
and thus you will save or gain exactl.

Then the People Laughed.

Some time ago prominent scientist
lectured in one of the leading churches
of the city, and, in the course of an
hours talk, undertook to show the re-
lation between geology and the Bible.
1t may be that he was not as clear as
was expected; it may be that the ar
guments of scientist were too deep
for the audience, and still again, it is
possible that the warm evening pro-
duced drowsiness that drugged the
senses of the hearers. At all events
the relationship sought to be estab-
lished was not very sharply outlined
to the aud ience, despite the number of
degrees tie speaker has had tackled to
his name by institutions of learning,
and, as th learned man ceased his dis
course, look of doubt as to just what
was the o ct of the lecture was ap-
