1.-THE one thing 1 do not like about
Washington" said Secretary Gresham,
sis the demoralizing effect the life here
has on young men. 1t appears TO make
dudes and prigs of them" Then Mr.
Gresham spoke Of his son aud told how,
some years ago, he had sent the young
man from Indianapolis to work on
farm. The old farmer who took him
was to pay the boy so cents day, ana
tho Judge agreed II Otto was not worth
as much as this to make up the differ
ence himself But Otto had good stun
in him and worked so we'll in the har-
vest and bayfield, that the farmer vol
unfairly raised his wages to IS cents
day. Thus the youngster worked one
summer, coming home occasionally to
see his mother and have her to patch
his clothes.
For two or three years Otto Gresham
was Mr.. Hendricks private Secretary
and was intrusted with all of that great
Democrats political secrets. He never
told even his father one OF them. Be-
fore he died Mr.. Hendricks said to
Judge Gresham: "Your son knows every
political secret I have in the world.
They are safer with him than they are
with me-" Otto is now rising lawyer
in Chicago, earning his $4,000 a year,
and Is too busy to spend even day In
Washington.
Secretary Morton has as fine lot Of
boys as any father in the world. One
of them, Paul, he found job for in a
railway Office at Burlington, la. His
nav was $50 month, and he paid $40
/ for his board. In three years, when
only little past his majority, be was
made gene. General Freight agent Of the G.,
B. & Q. system.

Morton, "but when heard his salary
had been raised to SO, 900 a year went
at once to the president OF the road
You have promoted Paul. said. Yes
'Aad made his salary $1,000 Yes,
but he's doing so well we might make

'Whatp exclaimed President Perkins in
surprise. Yes, l mean what l say.
Three thousand year is too much for
boy to have all to himself In wicked
city like Chicago and he compromised
on 81, 00o"
Paul Morton is now manager Of one
of the largest coal companies In the
West and is amassing fortune, which
is better for the sons Of great men than
having them drive swell carts along

ANTI-LAwSUIT COURTS
Chienn0 Nal.

North Dakota has introduced q new
kind OF court which is certainly not in
tended for the benefit of the illegal fra
ternity. Some peace-lovinR members
OF the Legislature at the recent session
of that body persuaded it to enact law
. the main object OF which is to prevent
law suits and restore harmony between
disputants instead Of creating business
for attorneys.
The new courts are termed courts of
concillation." The law creating them
provides that in each local election for
justice OF the peace four Commission
ers of Cancellation" are to be elected,
two of whom are to act with the justice
In hearing testimony and arguments In
civil cases before local suit is begun.
The main testimony IS to consist OF the
statements OF the principal parties, and
no attorney Is to be allowed to appear
in such hearing.
The justice and the commissioners are
then TO try to persuade the contending
parties TO agree upon some equitable ad-
justmont Of the difficulty between them.
Justice and fairness between man and
man, rather than legal rights. are to be
the basis Of Cancellation. Should this
peace commission fail to effect settle
ment of the dispute none Of its proceed
ings or the statements made to 1t are to
form a part Of litigation that may ensue.
This is certainly an interesting ex-
pertinent. II is rather IN oriental idea
of court Jurisprudence. A tendency
hoe for eomo TINA haen rPonnfn0 out In
western civilization 10 revive meta
physical ideas which antedate the
Christian era. Theosophy has taken
root and Mahommedanism Is about to
plant itself in American soil. Oriental
dispensation of justice without statute
or lawyer has been very favorably pre-
sented in Dumberless tales to American
readers. II North Dakota courts OF
cancellation largely dispense with Law
courts and lawyers the new State will
have set its elder sisters an invaluable
example.

who were In could not get out. Among
the latter were Mrs. Bissell, wife OF the
Postmaster General. She had made .
friendly call on Mrs. Cleveland, and 1t
took her nearly an hour TO make her
escape from the building. For Is min
utes she stood tightly wedged in mass
OF humanity, unable to stir step. She
took it all very good naturally, as she
did some of the remarks which she was
forced to overhear in the crowd. Said
one woman in Mrs. Bissells hearing:
81 don's think this combination ought
to put on any airs. Why, the wife OF
the Postmaster General used to give
music lessons!"
Mrs. Bissell tells this story on herself,
and she laughs at the foolish people who
pronounce her name as II IL were Bis
sell, which is evidence enough OF the
fact that the wife of the big Postmaster
General is a natural, unaffected woman.
The truth is, themost important people
here are the least pretentious. A lew

tary of State Gresham and Secretary OF
