BONDS ARE VALID
Judge Williams Hands Down Some I'm
pOrtant Opinions.

Judge Williams in the federal cour;
yesterday morning at the opening Of the
| term. handed down opinions in the fol-
lowing important county bond cases:
! The National Life Insurance company,
| Of Montpelier, Vi, against Haskell coun-
~, Kan; the Aetna Life Insurance
/ company against Seward county, Kan,
| and the same company against Meade
| county, Kan. These cases were argued
and submitted "a the last term OF the
| court and during the recess OF the court
| counsel on both sides filed pointed briefs
| The supreme court Of Kansas and The
[ circuit court of appeals in the meantime
/ have passed upon some of the mooted
| questions raised in these cases. so that
| the opinions handed down by Judge
Williams are strictly up-;o-date, and not
only embody his own opinions OF the
law, but follow the law Of the courts
named. Bentley and Hatfield were
counsel for the companies, and Hon. S.
S. Ashbaugh of this city. Hon. T. a.
Scates Of Liberal and County Attorney
F. VI. Davis OF Meade appeared for the
| defendant counties. The defendants con-
tested in all about $4,000 worth OF
| bonds, AMI attacked the validity Of the
bonds on the following grounds:
First. that counties under me present
law cannot refund county warrants.
Second. funding bonds cannot be is
sued without a popular vote.
Third, recitals in the bonds DO not pro-
tect innocent purchasers. They must go
to the records and are bound thereby.
Judge Williams held agains, the de-
fendan,s on ali CT these propositions. and
On a number OF other minor propositions
raised by able and skilled counsel He
held the bonds valid and remarked tia.
the higher courts had now settled near
" ever conceivable poin; in municipal
bond litigation. The supreme c0ur. ot
Kansas has very recently made rulings
in municipal bond matters along the
same line and in accord with the rulings
expressed by Judge Williams.
The case Of the Society for Savings
against Barber county. Kansas, brought
by Judge Herrick and Bentley and Ha,-
field. solicitors for the plaintiffs. was
called yesterday in the cour, by Judge

there is no way that you can get square
with the broker. He will swear that
you were trying to defraud him and he
never would have advanced the money
had he known the quality Of the stones.
Another good thing to remember
when soaking expensive articles is to
place them where they will not be tied
up. Some places will not advance you
any more money on pledged article
until it is redeemed In thai case, you
see, a $500 ring may be in for s., but
if you have not the SIS it is OF no more
good to you for raising money than a
consumptive monkey.
"And that reminds me used to have
bulldog who was in soak half the
time. 1t wasn't legitimate, of course,
but the pawn broker liked that dog
and he wanted him. I would not sell
him, but every time I got hard up |
would go and give t. fellow bill of
sale for the dog, and he would give me
refusal for eight weeks. Once | got
$40 on him, and kept soaking him I'M
til finally he got SO old the pawn
broker gave up all hope Of owning
him.
ION articles either of jewelry or
wearing apparel that have been bought
from houses that are well known,
broker will give you great deal
more money than he would otherwise.
Watches and jewels bought from the
best known houses in New York will
bring about third their cost price and
clothes about one-tenth.'

Mrs. Younglove says:

ter to go out to some apothecary and

cavalry, a fresh set of designs were pre-
pared. and more soldiers turned out.
1t is truly remarkable how many
guns and warriors now stand in the
shop windows, pleading to be taken in
to your home. The boy who signs for
cannon and a fort can ask Santa Claus
for them freely, for they are very easy
to obtain West Point soldiers have
also been made in great numbers, and
they can be seen firing big guns from
the Palisades and along the Hudson.
The moral question has been raised
as to whether it is not harmful to the
growing youth to place in their hands
so much that is conducive to the spirit
of war. Will not the children who play
with tin soldiers grow up with a mad
desire to toy with the real article in
later life? The German Emperor firmly
believes that as the twig is bent the
tree is inclined. and he Ias trained his
six sons to play with soldiers as relig-
iiously as we train our children to play
with alphabet blocks.
The toy builders have catered to the
spirit of the times this season as never
before. In great pasteboard boxes there
lie troops of artillery all mounted on
horses, ready to be set up in battle
array.
Many Of these toy armies come very
high; 81 for a troop of cavalry is not
cheap, yet they come as high as s12 and
SIS. A very good set consists of twelve
soldiers on horseback. three inches tall

AS early as last June the toy manu-

been painted as models for the trade.
Then came the threatened Japan-Ha-

GAS usual thing, though said the
expert, as he ordered the waiter to
hurry with the cantaloupe, 1t does not
pay to bulldoze your uncle, especially
if you have an article on which he VIII
give you only small sum. Take a
pair Of plain gold cuff buttons or
dress suit on which at best you cannot
get more than S. or Sc, and it is not
good policy to try and convince your
uncle that they are worth four times as
much as he knows, they are worth. He
either takes you for an inexperienced
idiot Or. a bunko man, and in either
| case you get the worst of 1t.
"a fierce bluff often works. Go in
with something you know you can't get
more than S. on and in an easy, Off
hand way ask for SIS, just as if you

to soak. Your uncle will be paralyzed
at your nerve, and as like as not will
/ split the difference with you before he
knows what he is doing. If you can
convince one of them that an article
really has some sentimental value you
| will get sometimes actually more than
| the thing is worth. But that takes a
| long time. 1t has to go to the pawn

be quick about deciding what you do
want. / can't keep the cook up all
night waiting for a damned dude to
find out what he is going to eat"
"All right, landlord" said the trav-
eler, bring me some dog and coffee. :
There was q smile all around the
table, as the ranchers recognized the
probability of row between the gen
eral and the new man.
Dog" yelled the general, and he
walked around to the opposite side Of
the table where he could look at his
guest squarely in the face. Dog did
you say? Do you take ne for Sioux

At that moment, when the general
was working himself into rage, a
sudden thought occurred to him.

you were a tenderfoot, but | see you
are an Indian; I'll fix you With

laughed at him for the joke the
stranger had perpetrated.
Presently Campbell returned carry
ing a large dish covered with cloth,
which he set down in front of the
guest. In his right hand he carried a
big revolver, and while he removed
the cloth with one hand he covered the
stranger with the revolver in the
other hand The cloth being removed,
a litter of puppies was found sleeping
in the dish.
"Now, young man, you see that
there is nothing that this house can
not supply at moments notice.
You wanted dog, and now you must
eat"
The general had realized that some
one had perpetrated a joke on him,
and he thought to turn it on the
stranger, but the young man from the
East was equal to the emergency.
Without appearing to take notice OF
the big pistol and the generals threat,
he carefully reached over, selected the
best looking puppy and began to prod
it with the fork, and in apparent
seriousness tried to cut into the ami
NAL with his knife. The generals
hand became very shaky. After sew
eral trials the stranger called for an
oil stone and proceeded to sharpen the
knife Still the knife was not sharp
enough, and grumbling at the hotel
which provided dull knives, the
stranger reached in his pocket and
drew out his own pocket knife. A
smile spread over his face as he re-
marked, 1T was more than a week
since he had had any dog" then he
proceeded, to all appearances, to carve
the pup, which set up cry of pain.
Now, these puppies were pedigree
hounds which had cost the general
considerable time and money and he
became alarmed at the strangers APP
parent fondness for them. Grabbing
the strangers hand, he seized the dog,
remarking, See here, you Indian,
this is white mans ranch, and II you
want anything to eat you will have TO
take catfish or Texas steer; that's all
we've got" Amid a roar of laughter
he carried away his pups.
