Once upon time there was n farmer
who was IN great need OF n thousand
dollars, but he did not have n single
dollar. A friend came forward and
said to him y will let YOU have tho
money n you will give me your written
obligation 10 deliver 10 me a thousand
bushels OF either wheat or rye after
next years harvest" This proposition
was accepted Notwithstanding the fact
that wheat and ryo we're selling at n
dollar and half a bushel The farmer
had neither grain, but he knew he
could raise both on his farm. and the
contract gave him the advantage Of
two harvestg IN which TO raise the
necessary amount. SO the contract was
plainly written and signed. binding the
farmer 10 deliver 900 bushels OF either
grain, az HIS election. az the appointed
time. When the time Of payment ar
rived II was found that the market
price Of wheat had gone up TO two
dollars per bushel. and the market
price Of rye had gone down TO one
dollar per buahel; and the farmer OF
course elected TO pay his obligation In
rye. But what was his surprise 10
find the man who held his obligation
insisted on having II discharged by the
delivery Of thousand bushels OF wheat
instead OF rye. and all the friond0 and
nelghbors OF the creditor arose and said
why. this man came 90 your rescue
when you were IN trouble. and now
he wants TO be paid honest. valuable
grain, and II is dishonest in you TO even
want 10 pay In rye But" says The
farmer. did he not agree to take either
grain AT my optlon?" They could not
but admit this fact. but atill they In
sisted that the buahel was n "dlshon-
est" bushol and are still no insisting
and demanding that the farmer shall
not exercise the option given him In
his contract. and that good faith"
required that he discharge his ohllga-
ton In wheat. and the creditor and his
friends even insist that all men Of
brains will say 80. The case IL not yet
decided. which party II right. the

The appeal for funds which the chair
man OF the democratic national com
mittee has sent out 10 the people II one
Of the most eloquent and significant
documents which will appear In the
present campaign. We recall the fact
that some years ago, when Henr7 u.
Lowering was running against Henry
Cabot Lodge for congress. his commit
tee appealed 10 the masses OF the Uco-
pie for money. II was pointed out that
Mr.. Lowering was a poor man ana that
be was iishting the poor mans battle.
On the other hand. Mr.. Lodge was a
millionaire. who could command un-
limited funds for campaign purposes.
The response was generouA Some $500

well-to-do democrats who have always
contributed 10 the party exchequer are
now either sending their checks 20

independent organization OF their own.
So senator Jones makes his appeal TO
the people.

PORTRAIT OF JUDGE SCOTT.
An Oil Painting of the Eminent Jurist
is Presented to the Supreme Court
of Missouri.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. S.-An
oil portrait of Judge William Scott,
who was a Judge of the Supreme Court
for nearly 20 years, from 1s41 to 1862,
except a short period, was presented
to the Supreme Court by the members
of the bar of the State to-day. Colonel
James o. Broadhead of st. Louis, who
practiced before the court while Judge
Scott was on the bench, and who was
a personal friend of the jurist, made
the presentation speech. He paid a
glowing tribute to the ability of Judge
Scott, and in closing presented the
portrait to be hung on the walls of the
court room.
Justioe Brace, in a fow fitting
remarks, accepted the portrait.
The court then ordered the remarks
of Colonel Broadhead and the names
of the contributors to the fund with
which the portrait was secured to be
placed on the records of the court.
The portrait will be assigned a place
beside that of Judge Napton, who
served on the bench with Judge Scott.
Attorney George Robertson, of Next
co, assisted by Attorney General
Walker, raised the funds for the por-
trait from the member of the Missouri
bar. Judge Scott was considered one
of the ablest judges that ever graced
the Supreme bench. A large number
of lawyers was present when the por-
trait was presented this morning.
