Mr. Grant Rogers's bill for enforcing
the liquor law proposes TO make 1t obligs-
tory upon all the judges to inquire Of
men brought before them for intoxication
where they got their liquor, and imposes
fine Of $50 upon any judge who neglects
to do so. This is new departure. Here
tofore the .method Of furnishing judges
who refused to do their duty has been to
remove them by Impeachment proceedings.
but Mr.. Rogers's plan is to fine them. 1t
is plan calculated to lring the courts
into contempt, and should get no consid-
Grafton from the legislature. When u
ju ge refuses TO do his duty there is only
one proper course to pursue and that is to
remove him. He ought not to lie allowed
to condone his offence by paying u fine

REVOLVING Round y small Boy.

As one of the Columbia cars stopped
at II street one evening a rather stout
woman descended to the street and walked
diagonally toward the sidewalk. A little
fellow ON n wheel, who afterward proved
to be the woman's son, dashed toward her
from the rear with the evident and praise
worthy intention of welcoming her home.
The brake did not work in time, however,
and he collided with his mother with con-
siderable force.
This enraged the lady, and turning, aft
er she had recovered her balance, she pre-.
ceeded TO warm the youngster with an
umbrella. Two young fellows, who had
no clew to the relationship existing be-
tween the thrasher and the thrashed, hap.
pened TO BIO passing, and one thinking the
punishment administered too severe, in
terfered and catching hold of the umbrel
la told the woman she ought to be ashamed
of herself for beating II little boy that way,
just at this juncture the woman hus-
band came out of the house, and seeing a
man with one hand grasping his wife's
umbrella and the other clutching his son (
collar, proceeded to mix up with the young
man without further introduction. Al
this the companion of the young man put
in his oar, and the fight promised to en-
brace the entire neighborhood, when the
butcher, who lives on the corner and who
had seen enough to grasp the situation,
separated the combatants long enough to
explain matters and save the participants
from arrest. Washington Post.

THE FAIRY SISTERS.


There was once little maiden,
And she had q mirror bright.
It was trimmed about with silver.
Twas her pride and her delight
But she found two fairy sisters
Lived within this pretty glass.
And very different faces showed
To greet the little lass.
II she was sweet and sunny, -
Why, II was sure TO be
The smiling sister who looked out,
Her happy face to see,
But if everything went crisscross
And she wore n frown or pout,
Alas, alas, within the glass
The frowning one looked outi
Now, this little maiden loved so mueh
The smiling face to see
That she resolved with all her heart
A happy child to be-.
To grow more sweet and loving
She tried with might and main
Till the frowning sister went away
And ne'er came back again.
But If she's looking for home,
As doubtless is the case,
She'll try to find little girl
Who has a gloomy face.
So be- very, very careful
II you own mirror, too,
That the frowning sister doesn't come
And make her home.with you.

than that the army must be permanently

future policy in the Philippines and the
amount of opposition we encounter there.
The length of our occupation of Cuba will
have good deal OF bearing upon 1t also.

far more accurately as to the number of
troops we shall need than we can today,
