PINK OF %POLITENESS.
Court of Appeals, Learned in q
Good Old School,

If there is anything that Judge Addi-
son Green prides himself upon especially.
it IL the etiquette of servant to master.
Judge" Green is the well known colored
attache of the court of appeals. His man.
ners when in the presence of the appellate
judges are Immaculate. and even to the
clerk and his deputy he shows the most
faultless Difference.
1t was in a good school that he acquired
this manner. For many years he lived at
the executive mansion of Missouri. He
served as a porter under six different gov
errors. and has probably seen and waited
upon as many politicians and state callers
In his day as any of the heightened servants
Of Washington city.
A lawyer learned a bit of etiquette from
Judge Green yesterday. in getting his
shoes shined. He handed Green a silver
dollar. not having 10 cents in change. When
Green had secured the change he brought
1t to the lawyer. who pocketed it without
counting. and started to go. Green politely
called his attention to the fact that he had
not been paid.
Why didn't you take the change out?''
asked the attorney.
That isn't proper" said Green. You
must never take your own pay out. Give
all the change back. and let the owner of
1t hand you what is owing to you out of
it. Yes. sir. / learned that long ago."

THEY WERE cREDULOUS.
Out of Town Lawyers Swallowed All
of Marshal James Noland's
inscriptions.

Many lawyers are brought to Kansas City
by the court of appeals. Their cases are
tried at home. and when an appeal is taken
they come to Kansas City to argue. Most
of them have been to the court of appeals
before. but occasionally a few come who
are evidently there for their first time.
While waiting for the court to meet, these
lawyers usually sit aroun in the clerks

windows at a building.

messenger boy. or gazing curiously at the

conner. He sees and hears many things
not to be seen or heard in his home town.
A piece of old clothesline fastened on the
wall by Marshal James holland and labeled,
"a strand from the rope that hanged Jim
Brown" attracted SO much attention the
other day and was wondered over so much
and with so great satisfaction by a group
of out-of-town lawyers. that Mr.. holland
waited until they had gone out, and found
another bit of white cotton rope in one of
the vaults. and added it to the wall col;
lection. He first burned one end of it and
dipped the other end in strong-smelling
coal oil. Under it was written:

ted by Thomas Swope to rent to the hoard
a house situated almost at the place where
the main entrance to the park will be,
surrounded by fourteen acres of ground,
for $500 per year. The offer was accept
ed and the house will be used until such
time as the board can spare the money to
build. The superintendent of the park will
be appointed in a short time so he can
get ready for the work that is to begin in
the early spring.
In the spring OF 1896 the board Of park
commissioners conceived the idea of Sc
curing a piece of ground in the suburbs of
the city for park purposes, the idea being
to secure a large tract of natural forest
and field that would for all time retain
its natural aspect in spite of any en-
croachment of the city.
Several visits were made to the valley
of the Blue river south of the city, but
no ground was found that answered all of
the requirements of a public park. Thomas
H. Swope learned of the desire of the
to visit a tract of ground owned b. him
in the Blue river valley and situated seven
miles southeast of the Junction. The
board visited the grounds and found them
an ideal place for a park. Then Mr.. Swope
offered to deed the ground to the city for
al time on condition that the place should
t f5@a sene Isma bubble 4 p that i IL should rne 0e be eaIle %
Swope park; that the plans for the park
and a general survey of the grounds be
completed before January 1, 1898; that the
sum of 5000 per year be expended fol-
ten years in identifying the grounds and
that at no time should a bonded debt be
contracted, in which the park grounds were
given as security. The board accepted
the gift and its action was later ratified
by the city council.
In the following Jun the public was in
vited to visit Swope park and examine for
itself the new pleasure grounds given the
city. As a result Kansas City turned out
en- masse. There was but one opinion ex-
pressed and that was that Swope park was
destined to be the most beautiful and pop
ular pleasure ground wned by Kansas
City.
The location of Swope park and its topo-
graphical features make it all that could
be desired for a public pleasure ground.
Nature has peculiarly adapted it for a
scenic park, containing, as 1t does, every
feature that will give It a rural character
and a place Of rest and repose for the
dweller in the city who wishes to seek in
summer time a change from the heat and
dirt Of a big city. And these features will

NO HIGH OAK ROAD.

Too E~XtravnEant and 1t Will
Re A~hanHnned.

The work of building a boulevard along
Oak street from T~hirty-first street south,
has been Indefinitely postponed by the
park board. and in view of the remarks
made by President Meyer. at yesterdays
meeting of the board, it is doubtful if it
will ever be revived.
There is no further report to make en-
the boulevard in the southern part of The
city" said Mr.. Meyer. speaking TO the
other members of the board.
p you mean the High Oak bonle-
w do not know it under any such
name" replied Mr.. Meyer: Il mean the
boulevard on Oak street. The problem is a
very difficult one to solve. 1 have visited
the grounds several times, and spent five or
six hours each time looking over the stu
alton. and the more I look at it the more
difficult does it seem. We need an outlet
to the south. it is a. necessity. and if we
had unlimited means at our command the
problem would be an easy one. We do not
want to be ~eXtravagant and do not intend
to be ~extravagant. and 40 further action
will be taken until the complete plans are
before us and We can tell exactly what the

The case against the Midland Dairy
Company. charged with selling milk that
contained a foreign substance, was dis
missed in police court yesterday morning
after the evidence had been heard. There
was no evidence to substantiate the charge
that the Midland ompan lac used a
preparation known as formaldehyde to
preserve the milk sold to customers. At
torney Ralph Latshaw and City Attorney
Brown INDUCED in a few harsh words
about the case, and for a time the usual

there was going to be a fight between
