Again. the model judge is a man WHO
keeps as free from politics as an angel
A 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 a stencil
in the nostrils Of the good people
The Judge who uses his office to make
political friends and political votes VIII
leave a record of corruption OF whleh
any decent man would be ashamed.
II is to be regretted that the ermine
is too often soiled by the political trick
ery and raseality of him who wears 1t
on the judicial bench, and yet 1t is true
that almost every man who holds any
Office from the district bailiff to the
vice president is hankering for some
thing higher.
Ihaye some respect for the man who
does his work so well 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, unselfsh, a poet by ma
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 impair
tial Judge ever sat upon bench, he
will 90 down in history the peer OF any
Judge and an honor to the supreme
bench Of Georgia.
| believe that the model judge is a
man who will by prayer and trust lean
heavily upon God, asking for his
guidance and protection and prays that
he may be delivered from mistake and
errors as he ministers between man and
man and that he may be able to mete
out Justice with perfect impartiaity
firmly believe that a knowledge OF
God and constant communication with
Him will make any man wiser and
truer and more infallible in all he does
and in all he decides.
As true and noble Christian as ever
lived or died In American history was
our late lamented Chief Justice James
jackson. knew him personally and
knew him well. He told me in n con-
versation | 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, SAN p. JONES.

THE ROGUE AMONG FISHES.
Classification of the Bel Among Its Filmed

An exception to the general rule in
regard TO the numbers of vertebrB is
found in the case of the eel. Eels in
habit nearly all seas. and everywhere
they have many vertebrs The cells of
the tropics are at once more special
lied and more degraded. They are
better eels than those of northern re-
gions. but. as the eel is a degraded
type. they have gone further in the
loss of structures in which this degen-
Grafton consists.
II is not well to push this analogy
too far, but perhaps we can find in the
comparison of the tropics and the cities
some suggestion as to the development
of the eel.
In the city there is always a class
which follows in no degree the general
line of development. Its members are
specialized in a wholly different way.
BY this means they take to themselves
a field which others have neglected.
making up in low cunning what they
lack in humanity or intelligence.
Thus, among the fishes, we have in

they are perfectly adapted to the lives
they lead. A multiplicity of vertebral
