Sometimes person who comes into

back number has a kick to make be
cause the regular price is charged The.
Bath Times gives the following effcc-
tive call down to such kickprs: We
wish to remind such that they are get
ting a dirt cheap bargain in a back
copy for the regular selling price.
Most newspapers charge more for back
copies than for current ones incrra%-
ing the price with every passing month.
For instance, Il copy of the New York
Press. which is a cent paper, is worth
10 cents when it is Il month ola. 20
cents when two months old and so on
until it is worth 81 when a year has
rolled around. The reasons why n back
copy is more valuable than a fresh one
are evident to one who stops to think
about 1T. Back copies are limited in
number and the limited supply cannot
he rcplenished. Back copies are stored
IN valuable space. IL takes time to find
the copy desired, especially if the Gus
toner does not know the date Of the
paper wanted. So. don't kick at pay
ing two cents for back numbers Of the
Times. You may have to pay what
they are worth by ana by"

twelve years old and small for his age.
Since he was the smallest tot imaginable
he was trained on the claironet until ne
IS now soloist of great power and aoil-
ity.
One Of his peculiarities is that he will
not carry mis- instrument in sight when
on the street He is very sensitive to
this matter. and when he has 10 take the
clarionet with him to the band or or
chestra will wrap it up in an old news
paper to conceal it.
Shortly after Fred arrived in Philadel-
phia he took out his clarionet and went
TO playing. It happened that a neighbor
next door belonged TO a large orchestra in
Philadelphia and ne heard the music on
several occasions, One day. he caught Doc
WorrelI in frontaof the house and said:
who is il that plays a clarionet in
your house?'
My boy" said Doc.
''Boy?" asked the man.
Yep, a boy" said Doc, ''Tll show him
to you" He called Fred out and the
man said he would like to hear him. So
they entered the house and Fred played
for the astonished musician.

hung on musical staff The neighbor
proposed that Fred go with him to the
orchestra meeting that evening for re-
hearsaL Fred wrapped his clarionet up
in an old newspaper, and accompanied by
mis- father, went to the rehearsal. The
neighbor was there and had spoken to
the leader about his find" not stating
the size Of the new player.
When all was ready the leader said:
Where's that new clarionet?'
There he is" said the neighbor, point
ing out Fred
The orchestra turned to the boy and
smiled.
But the leader said: Where's your in
strument?"
Fred pulled it out from under his chair
and unwrapped it.
The leader changed the music all
around. He picked out a Misunderstanding
piece with a hard clarionet solo in it and
told Fred to look it over.
Fred looked looked 1t over and said he
guessed ne could play it.
So the band started in and Fred went
ahead wits his knees crossed like he was
blowing corn on an improved suIky, and
when the solo part arrived he braced
himself and played it Ike hero. The
baton Of the leader dropped and stopped
the music He said: That was well
done, my boy" Then turning to his IA
Their he asked: "Where do you live?"
"Out west"
'Haddington?" asked the leader, re-
ferring TO a small town west of Philadel-
phia.
mo, Kansas, said Doc
West! Well L should say so. I
thought you had nothing but Indians out
there. That boy wants to be kept in the
east, my man, mark that"
Fred's fame spread after that and he
played with nearly every orchestra in the
city, and when the players heard he was
coming back TO the Indians they made
up an amalgamated band and came to
his grandmother's house and gave him a
farewell serenade.

THE sTOTCAL INDIAN.

Ed. Dorsey, now nVlnS d o4dCh"SiA'
Oklahoma, sends the following:
Much has been writtenf the character
istics OF the Indian, buWnany phases CT
the disposition of this people are yet i'm
perfectly understood. His liking for fun
is Illustrated by the incident following;
Previous TO the opening Of the Cherokee
outlet for settlement prospector camp
ed for the night near the Ponca agency.
His team, consisting of a bay and
spotted. or in the nomenclature of the
country, a calico" pony, strayed during
the night, and the next morning the
traveller, in great anxiety, made his way
TO the agency and secured horse on
which to make a search for the missing
stock. In relating his loss 10 the agent
minute description Of the ponies was
given, and the crowd Of Indians stand
ing around, apparently oblivious to every
thing said, learned perfectly the appear
ance of the strayed animals. During the
day one of the Indians went to the TonK-
ava tribe, located some fifteen miles to
the west, and here also in the evening
came the traveller in search of his ponies
Noting his approach the POnca explained
hurriedly to the Tonkawas the white
mans mission and arranged that he
should conduct the interview. Having no
idea that he had ever seen any of The
Indians. and supposing them ignorant Of
English, the traveller by signs indicated
his loss. Ponca apparently comprehends,
and draws on his vocabulary for the in
quiry: Little calico, little bay?" The
traveller delighted answers Yes" and the
Indian makes with his finger the outline
of a brand on the riders horse, and with
a look of interroga ton asks its correct
ness. Receiving an affirmative gesture,
another brand is located by the Indian,
until every brand and mark of the ponies
is located with exactness. The traveller
sure by this time that his ponies are
found, has alighted from his horse, and
inquiries, with a sweep of the hand,
''Where, where?" Then another draft on
the Indians English. Me no see them. "
Believing that he is not comprehended,
the traveller by signs requests the Indian
10 show him the way to the ponies, but
still elicits the response. "Me no see
them" Convinced that the Indian knows
the whereabouts OF the ponies, the travel
er tries every means of which he can
think to get the information, but every
effort. whatever its nature. gets the ans
wer, Me no see them" Finally, work
ed up to a pitch of intense Indignation.
the traveller remounts and starts for the
agency of the Tonkawas, calling down
malediction on all Indians, and the young
Ponca in particular. As soon as he is
well out of hearing the crowd, who had
retained the most immovable connposure
broke into the widest hilarity. The en-
tire colloquy was repeated word for word
The gradations of the travellers delight,
surprise, entreaty, exposulation. indig-
nation and wrath were recounted with
roars of laughter and the most perfect
mimicry. Every one Of the Indians IN
derstood English perfectly. The story is
told by the white participant vino sub
sequently heard the denouement and
found his ponies.in Kansas.

Appeals. He gets a complete copy OF all
the proceedings in the case in the district
court and the district Judge signs these
as correct. This copy is then filed in the
Court Of Appeals across the hall from the
District court and becomes a petition in
error. The man bringing the suit is the
plaintiff in error, which means that he
is a plaintiff claiming error IN the pro-
ceedings below. This is placed on dock
CT in the Court Of Appeals. This court
holds three terms yearly and hears about
fifty or sixty cases at a time. The court
consists of three judges and il has con-
siderable more dignity than the courts
below il. There are no juries and no wit
nesses. The case is called and the TWO
lawyers submit their case, first on printed
briefs, that is little books containing their
citations OF authority and arguments.
The attorneys can let the little books do
all the talking, bur usually they do not.
One at a time they arise and make long
speeches 10 the three judges. The audi
ence does not ordinarily consist of more
than one or two people, although there
are lots of lawyers present. The lawyers
talk law pure and simple, and
layman cannot follow them very
long They sprinkle a lot of Latin in
among their English, and usually the out
slider feels that he is in a strange coun-
try and flies for out doors. When all the
cases have been submitted for a term the
judges of this court gather up their briefs
and depart. Each man is given so many
cases to write the opinions in. A judge
writes up his opinions and then all three
judges meet and discuss the opinions sub
mitted. If one of the judges cannot agree
with the other two he files a dissenting
opinion. lis court can affirm or reverse
the ruling Of the District court and does
one or the other in every case, if ii is not
dismissed In case matter Of litigation
in the district court involves more than
50, 600 the case is taken, on appeal, to the
Supreme court at Topeka, and in certain
instances a case can be appealed from the
Court of Appeals TO the Supreme court.
The fifth court in Wichita is the Fed
eral court. which holds in the Federal
building If a man violates a Federal law
he is taken before the United States COM
missioner in the Federal building and af-
ter a preliminary is either held or released
by the commissioner. If held his case
goes on the Federal court docket and he
is tried later by jury. The Federal court
is the most dignifed of all the courts in
Wichita and is conducted with great de-
c0rum.
When a case is decided IN this Federal
court, it may be appealed to the Federal
Court of appeals, and when decided there
if it involves a constitutional question it
may be appealed to the Supreme court Of
the United States, which is the end of it
