The Cars Ran at Long Intervals.

II saw a funny thing at Westville, a town in Connecticut, the other day." said Mr. Trotter.
 'sThe street car company Up there has had trouble with it's transfer tick cts. Passengers would take transfer at crossings and give it to some one else. This was practice which an noyed the company. To prevent this miniature faces are now printed on each check The first is a cut of,a smooth faced man, the next face with mus tache, then one with whiskers. There is a picture of a lady with hat and lady with bonnet. When conduc- tor gives transfer ticket he punches the face which most nearly resembles that of the passenger who gets it, and this arrangement makes the misuse of transfers more difficult, as you can readily see."
 "Yes, we see," replied the auditors.
 "Well, took my transfer and got on another car to finish my ride. After the conductor had taken my ticket the man next to me handed him his. The conductor looked at it and then at the passenger, and then said:
 "I can't take this transfer, sir
 "'Why not?' asked the man.
 "'Because it was not given to you. This was given to some other man, and you have no right to ride on it.
 But it was given to me, protested the passenger.
 "'Oh, but that's impossible, tha con- ductor went on. Don't you see, the transfer Is punched for smooth-faced man, while you have full whiskers.'
 "'Is that all you have to go on" asked the passenger.
 "'Isnt that enough?'
 "sIndeed it isn't. am the man who received that transfer, I tell you, and l raised this beard while waiting for your car to come along

Again the model judge is prompt man, he moves by the clock or his watch, never late himself; all others have learned they must be on time. The cost of running the machinery of the courts is heavy on the tax pay CTS, and many judges have increased the cost and made their court a burden to the community by their want of promptness and rapidity. 5
 ya:a, the model judge is a man who keeps as free from pe1itics as an angel. judge who aspires to political pre- ferment and other things in the line of politics, who makes the judicial bench but stepping stone to something else his ambition requires, is poor judge. A judge who is politician is stench in the nostrils of the good people. The judge who uses his office to make political friends and political votes will leave a record of corruption of which any decent man would be ashamed.
 It is to be regretted that the eryniue is too often soiled by the political trick cry and rascality of him who wears it on the judicial bench, and yet it is true that almost every man who holds any office from the district bailiff to the vice president Is hankering for some thing higher.
 have some respect for the man who does his work so we'll in one official po- sition that he is by the very force of circumstances promoted to something better but he who uses his official po- sition for personal aims and political advancement will sooner or later dem onstrate to his constituency what he is
 Chief Justice Logan E. Bleckley, of Georgia, is my ideal of model judge, genial, clever, unself1sh, poet by na- ture and lawyer by birth, an honest man as naturally as you please, no bet ter lawyer in any state, no kinder gen. tleman in any calling, no more impar- tial judge ever sat upon bench, he will go down in history the peer of any fudge and an honor to the supreme bench of Georgia.

 As true and noble Christian as ever lived or died In American history was our late lamepted Chief Justice James Jackson. kHew him personally and knew him we'll. He told me in con- versation l had with him in his own home some time before he died that since he was twenty-five years of age, through all his official life as lawyer, congressman and judge, every day he had carried the witnessing spirit of God in his heart and enjoyed the peace of God in his soul every day.
 None who knew his life would doubt his statement as to his peace with God and his noble Christian character. For judges like him the world suffers to- day. Yours truly, SAM P. JONES'

measure introduced by Senator PETER,

for providing work for unemployed persons
IN the District in various needed public i'm
provements. The District Commissioners,
IN sympathy with the benesolent purposes
OF the bill. have made a report on the meas
ure and submitted a substitute for 1t which
would accomplish all the good that Mr..
PETERS bill contemplates. and even more in
the way of providing work. and at the same
time would greatly benefit the District by
insuring the completion of the much-needed
Improvements referred to. The plan Is sug-
gested of issuing bonds to pay for the work,

draft on a depleted treasury. and the cost
will practically be distributed over a Series
of years THIS seems much wiser finan-
ciering than the present plan of construct
ing by installments a sewer system, which
can be OF no use until the whole is COM
pIeted, at a rate which would prolong the
work for half century.
The suggestions in the COMMISSIONER re-

proposes to accomplish so many good things
in different directions. should receive the
careful consideration Of the District COM

1t has often been said by those who have
studied the prison system Of the United
States that unhealthy sentiment has so
wrought things as to make Imprisonment
a limited variety of pleasure, and this &C
cusation is undoubtedly well-founded in
many instances. OF course, most men
prefer personal liberty. and will risk a
great deal to secure that boon when the
right to 1t has been forfeited, but they are
only rarely inpelled to escape by discom-
forts other than those which have their
origin In mere Incarceration. An example
which shows conclusively the desirability
OF an American prison as a place of resi-
dence comes to the surface in the case of
Narcisse Nero. an Italian, who for the past
eleven months has been legitimate inmate
of the Idaho penitentiary. Narcisse was a
burglar who had been sentenced for a year.
Good behavior shortened his term one
month. but when the warden notified him
to that effect and requested him to depart
the gentleman from Italy declined to do
any such thing. declared himself to be
thoroughly satisfied with his home and
assured the officials that it was much more
comfortable than any place he had ever
struck outside. When the warden insisted
that Mr.. Nero should go. whether he
wanted to or not, the Italian said he was
not compelled to accept the months re-
bate on his sentence. Governor Mcconnell
conceded with the prisoner. and the chances
are that Mr.. Nero will remain in the abode
of his choice until his full term has ex-
pired. after which he will probably commit
another crime, so as to return to to his
pleasant quarters. 1t is undoubtedly true
that there are many such as this man in
other portions of the country than Idaho;
some such are in Washington. They would
just as soon be in prison as be at liberty,
in fact. many of them exhibit a decided
preference for prison. This would not be
so IL prisons were really what they are
supposed to Replaces of punishment
