COURT DAY IN EARLY KANSAS
How a Mild-Mannered Sheriff In.
duced Spectators to Diaarm.

uuceu spectators 10 Dt1AFm.
LIN the early days of Kansas, when
the state was divided into nine dis
tricts instead of 30, Judge William
Brown presided over the Ninth judicial
district, which took in all the territory
from Marion county to Colorado on the
west, and the Indian territory on the
south. The judges district was bigger
than the state of Massachusetts,, and, be-
sides calling for several thousand, miles
of travel by stage every year, it en-
braced some wild and woolly territory
When he arrived at Medicine Lodge to
hold his first term, he found each Jury
man with. belt full of cartridges en-
circiing his waist, and at ieast ore large
egg slung from his hip. The ;itigaG IS
and spectators were attired in the same
manner, and to Judge Brown, who is
emphatically man of peace, tho Pros
pect seemed uncomfortably wnrii1e.
He mildly suggested to the sheriff that
he persuade the crowdto 10y aside thcir
arms during the sitting of the court
The sheriff, weN-l1nown character by
the name of Reuben Lake, was noted
for his plain speaking ard profanity.
'Now, sheriff." said the irdre. with a
mild look through his srectac'cs, T
wish you would suggest to these gentle
men who are jurors, and others WAC
have business in court, that it yrcT.G
perhaps be better if they would remove
their pistols temporarily. Be carefu,
not to say anything that might offend,
sheriff, but just make nice, polite re-
quest, you know"
GAIL right, judge" said Reube. "I',..
do just as you say" and jumping upon
chair, he shouted: "Hear We. hear We
the honorable district court Of Rarhc,'
county is now in session. All OF you
bIankety blank blanks who hava any
business in this court wiIEltake off them
guns, pile 'em up back there by the door
and come to the front. "-Kansas City

Furnishings of u E;eGrooI2 That May

The old saying about living IL i band

DOM may be packed in a box six feet

,."vGr Englishman is the creator of
ihis folding furniture. With it persons
travelling will not be obliged to lament
lie absence of their own beds and bed
ling, but may carry such things with
them as personal baggage.
One of these boxes contains wash
&tand with tiled back and shelves un-
dcrneath, 4 dressing bureau with n
swinging mirror, cane-seated chair
and one rug upholstered chair, together
with bed, bedding, draperies, toilet
set, and wardrobe of comfortable
size. This furniture is made of we'll
seasoned hard wood. Each part fits
into it's place and fastens without the
aid of nails or screws. In the dressing
bureau drawers, for example, the bot
tom is drawn out and the sides fold to-
gether. What boon this furniture
will be for frequent movers who are
never satisfied with one place for any
length of time, while the camper out
may carry his home with him.

TWO NOT AS GOOD AS ONE.
Mutual Benefit Telephone of Murfrees

Mutual Benefit Telephone of Murfrees-
boro Quits Business.
From Independent Banner, Murfreesboro,
Tenn, November 20, 1896.
To the Pu6iic:-We find it impos-
sible to continue in business, and
hereby give notice that from and
after this date, our teleph one eX-
change will be closed.
We have tried hard to give salts
faction and merit the support of the
community, but find it Impractical
to operate two exchanges in the
same town, as it creates confusion
and increases the expense to the
merchants and business people with
out any advantages.
1t is now apparent that telephon-
ing has grown to be an interstate
business, and II local exchange with
out such a system cannot serve the
public purposes.
We wish to thank our many friends
for their sympathy and suppo TT, and
assure them that it is gratefully re-
membered. Signed,
MUTUAL BENEFIT pELEPHO NE Co..
