One of the venerable members OF
the bar was a circuit judge much
earlier in his career and tells this
among the many interesting incidents
of that time:
II went once to hold court in a new
county of the northern part OF the
state where the transcripts from JUS
tees courts were usually incompre-
hensible and where little concession
was made TO forms of law in running
the judicial machinery. A man who
appeared as indifferent as though JUS
tice were a thing unknown to him
was brought before me charged with
selling whisky to Indians.

An Electrical TeIescope.

Rudolph NJ Hunter of Philadelphia
has invented, so it is said, an electric
ally operated telescope which if ever
built, will be many times more pow
erful than that in the Lick observa-
tory. The principal feature of Mr..
Hunters invention is an inclined spi-
raj track on which runs an enormous
truck supporting a focusing apparatus
consisting Of an immense concave mir
ror. In the center of this track tall
observation tower will be placed so de-
signed that the upper portion may be
either raised or lowered electrically.
Mr.. Hunter firmly believes that a tel
escope built according to his design
would be 800 times more powerful
than any now known.-Electric Re

Successful Operation 10 Oral Surgery.

DIR. w. f. Baxter performed a del
icate operation upon Mrs. l.. p.
Moore, of BellepOint, on yesterday
morning. 1t was in the removal of
tumor growing from gum tissue,
near the right upper bicuspid teeth.
1t had enlarged so as to fill that side
of the mouth and gave much pain
and annoyance.
Mrs. Moore was referred to DR..
Baxter by her family physician.
The operation was almost bloodless
and comparatively without pain.
DIR. Baxter has fine reputation as
a skillful and accomplished dental
surgeon.

at Excelsior Institute, last Friday
night. The large room was well
filled with intelligent careful listen
ers, and, am glad to say, all went
away feeling they had spent a
pleasant hour with this gifted in

The exercises abounded in wit and

with literary gem. Maude Muller

airy Nightmare was real "side-

Prof. Arnold is thoroughly realistic
before an audience. He is free from
artificiality, but graceful in gesture.
MANY wears of his life have been
given to his favorite calling. He is
a hard student; studies his subjects
well, and, when he comes before an
audience, he is as Dewey before the
Spanish Navy.

For / knew her ways
And her tender plays,
And knew the print of her fair feet,
And the breath of her faintest sigh.
So I stunned her groves and her
castles fair,
With a purpose grim and set,
Till felt secure,
And a trust mature
Was born in my breast that ! knew
her snare,
And the lay Of her hidden net.
I held no commune with her Vestal
train
The maidens of lovely mould
For l closed my eye
AS they passed me by,
And l bound my heart with an iron
chain,
Till it moaned like the god Of old.
Thus the years went by, but my lot
was lone,
I spoke and she dropped her head,
And saw her part
With a warm, young heart,
And / caught it tight with a stified
groan,
For my own lay shriveled and dead.
