Tile Judge Maintained Order,

Gin Mississippi there used to DO n
county where it was almost impossible
to hold court. Tho lawless bacl,woods
element would como into the comfy
seat and break it up said Neil
Caruthers, n prominent attorney Of
that State. 'Judge Clarke once went
there to hold court. The first day he
had n bucket of water poured over
him from chimney hole in tho roof
and several pistol shots were fired into
tho courtroom. The next day as he
opened court he laid two large pistols
on the desk, and ut the first sign of
disturbance leveled the pistol ut the
man and conducted him to Jail. After
that there was no more disturbance,
and the better element of the COM
munitY WAS anxious that he should re-
turn the next term. He declined,
with sentence that has passed into n
political proverb in Mississippi: Il
regarded my coming into this county
ms mn adventure regard my leaving
it MS nm escape. st. Louis Globe.

loyal to his profession and was apt to

sent for Rogers He could not be

right side of the garment under tho

and q darner with largo button
should DO inserted between the cloth

folded double where the button is to

Ho decided that if he was TO secure
the claim he would have to buy it, and
he felt that the sooner he bought it
tho better.
So one morning he walked over to
Mrs. Ashby's sod cabin, and after pass
ing few commonplace remarks, said:
''Mrs. Ashby, I've concluded that
might afford to take your claim off
your hands being as you're so anxious
to sell. Idon't really need it. but to
accommodate you I'll buy it,"
what will you give?" Miss Ashby
asked.
"Well, it amt worth it," Enness re-
piled, "but I'll allow you what you
asked for it when you offered it to mo
shortly after Ashby's DEATH"
81 told you then you could have it
for 5000, l believer" Mary remarked
stYes. I think it was 5000, and
though that is too much, I'll give it
just rs u matter of accommodation, us
l said before"
"Mr. Ennoss," Mary said, "if you
want to buy this claim you can have
it for $1,000"
Ennoss started and stared in amaze
ment.
"You surely don't mean that" he
gasped.
81 do mean it. we won't take a
cent less"
"But you offered it for $780,"
eyes, because wo felt that wo were
compelled to sell it, but We don't feel
80 now"
"You will feel So" Ennoss said, MS
he arose and left tho room. "You'll
fail on your crop next year md thon
you'll DO glad to get what I offer, but
l won't promise to give It,"
tIe WAS angry and disappointed. Ho
had never dreamed that his offcr would
DO refused, and he really wanted tho
land. Ho consolcd himself, how.
ever, with the thought that Miss Ash
by would yet como to his terms and
be glad enough to accept his offcr,
and he determined to patiently Dido
his time.
"4'm very sorry to havo to decline
your generous aid, Mr. Enness," Miss
Ashby interrupted, with queer smile,
''but the truth is we'vo contracted the
w VIZ IOT u
town site for four times what you
Offer"
Without n word Enness left the
house and walked back home. He
was too completely beaten to say u
word, but he thought good donl.
For the first time in his lifo it APP
ponred to him that it was very easy
for greed to overstep itself.
1t was manifest to him, too, that
even woman could accomplish great
deal when sho resolved to try, oven
though sho laborcd under adverse cir
cumstanccs.
A few weeks Inter Mrs. Ashly stood
in tho doorway of the little sod cabin
and looked out across tho Kansas
prairie for the last time. Her face
was no longer sad and wan, for she
was very happy. She was ut last 60
ing bnck to tho old Eastern home for
which she had SO long yearned, and
the old, dark days of hardships and
privntions were only remomberancc.

italists. One of the leading bankers OF
Great Britain is now on his way TO Temes-
cal to inspect the property.
For many years past he had made his
home, when in town. at the Baldwin.
About year ago he met with a run
away accident 10 the mountains. His leg
was broken in two places and he was
frightfully bruised. He came to this city
for treatment, taking room at the Bald
win. His injuries were so severe that he
did not leave his room for several months
Since the accident he had resided con-
tinuously at the Baldwin, but seemed
very much discouraged and dOwnhearted.
He was interested with Ned Robinson in
mining in Southern California and had a
home in Riverside.
The dead man was looked upon as an
authority on mining and occasionally wrote
articles for the daily papers. He was en-
ployed several years ago as an expert by
the State Mining Bureau.
Before the reverses and Affections that
darkened his latter days came Crossman
was known as one of the most genial and
generous men OF his class. "He was his
own worst enemy" sorrowfully remarked
an old miner as be looked at the white face
at the Morgue last light.
The deceased wrote his will about three
months ago and it is now in the hands of
his lawyer, ex-Judge Cotton. Besides the
mining property, of which the value is un-
known, he owned an orange orchard at
Riverside. Crossman was born in the East
seventy-three years ago. His widow is a
Mexican lady past the prime of life.

THREE TIMES OUT.
How Supervisors Committee
Didn't Know It's Mind.

The Health and Police Committee OF the
Supervisors some weeks ago passed a lesolu-
tion Withdrawing from the Jordan BItuminous
Rock and Paving Company the right to operate
their plant on Howard street, as some residents
in the neighborhood complained OF it as an i'll
smelling nuisance.
Some weeks passed away, and the Jordan
B. r. & p. Co. heard about II, and went around
the Geighborhood and secured a number of
signers to protest. which said the place was
not an lsmelling nuisance. but rather a de-
sirable neighb0rhOod. This protest was duly
filed. but II came TOO late. for the Health and
Police Committee heard by this time that no
attention had been paid TO their order, and that
the plant was still there, and The day
following the filing OF the protest
they soemnly resolved that tile Jordan
Is. X. & r. Co., "having disregarded
The action of the committee and declined TO
said company be at an end and rights and priv.
leges granted them he Withdrawn and they be
required summarily to remove their plant"
This action was transcribed In the beautiful
handwriting OF the committee clerk and duIy
read before and approved by the entire body of
the Supervisors al its last meeting.
Yesterday the Health and Police Committee
met again and a gentleman OF quiet and per.
suasiye manners was present 10 behalf OF the
Jordan Bituminous Rock and Paving COMPANY
and It's protest, and the committee took 1t all
back and by formal resolution permits the
plant 10 stay where IL is.
At the end of three solid columns OF legal
opinion directed at the Supervisors on an en-.
tirely different matter City and County Al
tOrney Creswell very APPLY remarks, 'Nothing
more need be said on the subject"
