More Truth Than Poetry.

There is whole lot more truth
than we wish there was in the follow.
ing extract from Arthur McEwen's
syndicate letter to the Los Angeles
Express:
Judges are lawyers, and are prone
in practice to regard the courts as be-
ing inventions for the use and benefit
of their profession. 1t is judges who
are principally to blame for the &C
emulation Of unhung killers in the
Jail. When lawyer takes the case
Of murderer he sets about delaying
the time Of trial, knowing that the
greater the space between the crime
and the facing Of jury the better
the prospect of acQuittal. Delay is
got by asking for continuanccs, which
the Judges grant. The alleged con.
yenience of an attorney is considered
paramount to the interest of Justice.
At best the law is sufficiently cum
brous and productive of delay, but
the judges could expedite trials
greatly if they wore not disposed to
accommodate the bar to a scandalous
extent. AS for the Bar Association,
it's function is to help keep up the
fiction that lawyers as a body are
public-spirited citize1s. Its own
members are about the only persons
who profit tinanc ally by the security
enjoyed by the residents Of Murder.

A FEW years ago the American HUI
name Association offered prize of
$4,000 for desirable stock car by
which cattle in transportation could
be watered and fed at proper inter
walls, and while no device which was
presented seemed to warrant the
award of the sum named, the result
was that improved cars were manu-

The Black African Rhinoceros Is One OF

The Black African Rhinoceros Is One OF
the Most Savage Animals.
If the entire. world was searched
over more irascible, obstinate. reck-
less and pig-headed brute could not
be found than the black rhinoceros
of South Africa. 1t breads nothing
in creation, and will give battle to a
lion, an elephant or buffalo equally
as in it's mad rage it attacks tree,
a rock or whatever stands in its way.
In its wanton display of strength the
black rhinoceros tears up bushes ana
small trees and digs the earth with
it's fore feet, throwing the clay back
ward like dog. In appearance the
animal is clumsy, yet it can keep up
with swift horse for short dis
lance. All the mammoths of the
wilds give it wide berth.
Recently tourist in BCnrland was
witness to a remarkable scene in the
wilds. A wounded rhinoceros COW
with her calf was keeping a magnifi-
cent lion at bay. There the two

DUKE ALFRED of COburg-
Edinburgh is having troublesome
time. His attempt to hold on to his
English allowance of $75, 900 per an
mum while serving as a German
prince at a good salary offends the
sturdy Welsh and English Radicals,
who cry out against the grab-all pol
icy of the Queens second son as
scandalous Popular sentiment is
with the Radicals. Prince Alfred
never was liked in England. He is
close listed and penurious and has
affected German ways. He is mar
red to Russian princess and his
daughter is married to Slav. He has
no English sympathies. Mr.. Glad
stone, who is cordially disliked by
the Queen, has attempted to justify
the Sake Coburg- Edinburgh grab thus
far, but he seems to be firing Of the
job 1t is a thankless one for him,
as he only offends his friends and
hardly conciliates royalty which cor
daily dislikes him.

THERE is enormous waste Of farm
land in England through the hedge
system. There are 600, 900 acres oc-
cupied by hedge rows, and since
farm ing has paid poorly the labor of
keeping these hedges trimmed has
been greatly neglected. A hedge
with the ground it fills, and that
spoiled by it's roots, uses up rod in
width. Hedges with bitches beside
them take up more land than this.
But it costs too much to root out the
hedges and level the meats, so that
the reclamation of hedge land goes
on slowly. There is still greater
waste of land in some sections of
England and Scotland by withdraw
ing it from cultivation to be used for
game preserves. Thousands Of acres
that used to support a considerable
agricultural population now supply
only what food the hunter can get
by killing deer and other game.

ONE of the most remarkable con-
tests of endurance ever witnessed in
the world was brought to a close at
Madison Square Garden, New York,
the other night. To sit astride a
bicycle almost continuously for six
days and nights and to break all dis
lance records ever made is feat for
which Albert Schock will be greatly
applauded. But looked at from a
rational point of view, what real good
can such struggle do? 1t is COM
bat against nature that is only one
grade better than prize fight or one
of the old walking matches.

What Could Have Allied Her?

The human body is a very delicate
and highly complex organization, and
it is not surprising that it sometimes
breaks down for no easily ascertaina-
bic reason. A farmer met the vii

and said:

REPORTS of outrages committed by
tramps in the rural districts show
that these vagabOnds are becoming
desperate and dangerous. They take
by force what is denied them. and.
not satisfied with receiving food and
shelter, they have begun ranSackipg
houses for money and putting in
mates to the torture in order to
compel them to deliver up yaluables.
The farmers should protect them
selves against these modern free COM
panions by force and arms. Trey
should provide themselves with fire
arms and use them on the slightest
provocation. A tramp filled with
bird shot is a tramp reformed, SO far
as houSebreaking and violence are
concerned. The peppering of a few
