TANNING A DEADBEAI.
Justice Who Was Governed More by
Equity Than by Law.
How We Forced n DishOnOrRble
Debtor 10 Lt0uIdatc Grocery BAH
which Had Bcen Running for
Number OF Years.

"Old Squire Rodgers, as every person
called him, was. according 10 the Pitts
burgh Press. one of those magistrates
who set aside the law when il got in the
way of justice. The only laW books he
had aboua his Office were "Smuli's Leg
islative Handbook" and the "Hagers-
town Almanac" He once broke all
presidents by collecting a debt from a
dishonest man who put in plea that
the claim was barred by the statute OF
limitations
The defendant owed $27 to a grocer,
an easy-going man who carried the debt
on his books for several Gears without
making any effort to collect II. He died
and left his family little but a lot of out
lawed accounts. His widow turned the
books over to Squire Rodgers and he
came across this $27 debt. lie knew the
man who owed it could pay it IL he
would, and he issued summons for
him. Knowing that the debt was out
lawed the fellow paid no attention to
the summons and the squire sent his
constable after him with orders to fetch
him to the Office at all costs. He was
brought before the squire and hear
ing was opened.
"Did you get these goods p" the squire
asked him after proof of the debt had
been taken.
"Yes, sir, but" ;sa4i..

THAT will do, sir" said the squire.

amount of the claim with interest"
Il won't pay it," declared the fellow.
'But you ate these goods and you've
got to pay it," retorted the squire.
"Pn take advantage of the statute Of
limitations" the defendant asserted.
THE statute of limitations was never
intended for such contemplate scoun

A woman weighing 200 pounds driv-

diminutive horse furnished amusement
for a small crowd yesterday, said the
Chicago Daily News. She got ss far
as Grand avenue. The little horse con-
cluded to stop. Upon being urged to
proceed by his weighty burden, he
merely sat down upon bis launches.

The woman got out and crowd be-
gan to gather. A couple of men un-
hitched the animal, got him up, rehar-
messed him into the buggy and helped
HIS owner back to her seat. Again she
cluclxed affectionateIy and again the

MIGHTY BEE HUNTER
he Tracks the Insects as Unerring-
ly as a Honey Bird.
Jasob Mowers, Of Half Day, III, Whs
In Approaching the Century Mark,
IN Signing for n Country Where
Game In Plentiful.

II was a mild sort of n joker who said |
that time must stand still at Half Day, |
III, Tor there necessarily it must always
be noon. When visitor to Half Day
sees Jacob Movers, trapper, bee hunter
and occasional blacksmith, he feels that
Joker had some little foundation in fact
for his witticism-
Jacob Mowers, like the hundreds of
bicyclists who whirl through Half Day
on summer Sundays is, according to the
Chicago Tribune, making a century
run. At present Mr.. Mowers is some
where about the ninetieth milestone,
but he still hunts bees, fells trees and
carts honey homeward in great chunks
Jacob is the oldest inhabitant of the
region in which he lives. He has lived
in the same log house for upwards of
half G century, and the structure has
stood time and weather conditions as
we'll as has its builder and owner.
1t was in the early '40s that the bee
hunter struck Half Day. 1t was not
called half Day then nor any other
name. The pioneer camped under a tree
and shot for his dinner a deer which
was browsing in the bush where the
well-populatedv village graveyard is now
located. He has seen the burying place
wax fat with the succeeding years, but
the old hunter does no intend, IL be can
help il, TO increase its proportions by
the length and width of his own body,
for he is bent on removing shortly from
this scene of his early labors and goin g

and honey more easy to be found
At Mr.. Mowers log cabin are TO be
seen evidences of his three callings'
Ancient horse shoes hang on the outer
wall, animal pelts are to be found with
I'm, and the bees are busy just beyond
the threshold. He has marked
aversion to entering any modern black
smiths shop. "Ihe smithing art has
been lost" he said. They don't dc

PhotoRraphing Criminals.

The right to photograph criminals In
order to place their pictures in the
rouges' gallery has often been ques-
toned. The prevailing opinion among
writer's who have discussed the sub
ject seem to be that the power may
properly be exercised over persons who
have been convicted of crime, but that
its exercise is of very doubtful legality
in the case of one who is merely ac-
cused of a criminal offense, but not
yet adjudged guilty. In an application
for writ of mandamus to compel the
police commissioners of this city to
remove the picture of convict from
the rogues' gallery, Justice Truax has
recently held that the fact that the
petitioner had been convicted of as
