FRONTIER JUSTICE.
How All All Around Squire Took the Law
Into His Own Hands.

HOW aI All AfOuHu squire IOOK Cn6 lk4W
Into Bis Own Hands.
They were discussing the administration
of justice in this and other countries, when
the major told this story to illustrate q
claim made in the course of his argument:
when out on the frontier trying to dis
prove the adage that rolling stone gathers
no moss, became pretty well acquainted
with rugged old pioneer who came dan
gerously near to being an absolute monarch
In this community. All the legalized au-
thority he exerted was that of justice of
the peace, but it was astounding how far
he could make it go. The whole judicial
system does not contemplate a greater
power than he eNerted through his little
office.
"On one occasion a drunken rustler
wantonly shot and killed hog that hap
pened to be the squire's property. He sat
right down and made affidavit to the facts
In the case After reading this aloud to
himself he drew an affidavit for the arrest
of the offender. He then stood up and swore
himself in as special constable, pinned a
cheap star on his breast, took his winches-
ter, mounted his horse and went after the
hog killer The special constable of his
own making got the drop on his man and
returned with him as prisoner.
"Then you should have heard the trial
The squire first read the charge to the ac-
oused, who entered plea of not guilty.
Then the court stepped to the front of his
ownsbench, which was a rough redwood
table, and conducted the prosecution, ask
ing himself questions and answering them,
allowing the prisoner to enter an objection
or take an exception whenever he desired
"The case for the people being made, the
squire said the fellow must have fair
trial and appeared as lawyer for the de-
Tense. So long as he was enaoting this role
and the rust]er was doing the swearing it
looked as though he might be acquitted.
But again the squire become the prosecu-
tor for purposes of CROSS examination, and
the way he showed the desperate up look
ed as though 1t might be life sentence.
After arguing both sides, with rousing
close for the prosecution, the squire re-
summed the BENCH summed up the evidence,
quoted such law as he knew, gave the
prisoner at the bar scathing dressing
down, fined him 800 and sentenced him
to six months in jail, which he was with
out the slightest right of doing. This was
in the United States, mind you. "-Detroit

Beat very stiff and dry 10 whites of egg:
(one-half pint, sift together twice, hall
pound of powdered sugar, ounces of pas
try flour, an even teaspoonful OF cream tar
tar. Add all this to the eggs. stirring YER,
gently with wooden spatula Sprinkle q
half teaspoonful of vanilla powder to II
and fill in the regular angel food tins.
Soak these molds in cold water always be.
fore using Fill while wet-just rinse
them out-and when baked turn molds
upside down. Never grease or line the
molds with paper. Just have them wet,
and the cakes will fall out when cold, as
white as snow, all the crust sticking to
the mold. Frost very thin and give icing
very delicate flavor, or just little lemon
luice or maraschino.
