"Is that clock right" he asked after

Because If it is l shall have plenty
Of time to catch the II 80 car"

the clock is about 20 minutes slow.

him as he longed to be loved.-Chicago

When tho Puss Gets Her Back Up.
1t is not anger alone that makes cats
arch their backs. Indeed, when two
cats are preparing to fight they do not
assume this attitude, but crouch low,
just as they do when about to spring
on their prey, the body being extended
and the hair not in the least erect.
But when, on meeting dog suddenly,
fear is combined with anger then the
cat, standing at its full height, at once
arches its back, with an instructive eff
fort to appear as formidable as posi-
BILE.
Darwin compares it to the similar
attitude of the lynx when attacked and
TO that of birds which ruffle their feath-
tail when alarmed. 1t is noticeable
that a cat will also arch its back when
in an effectionate frame of mind, rub
bling itself against its masters leg. At
the same time it slightly raises its fur
and holds its tail erect. Its whole at
it assumes when savage.
Darwin accounts for this In the fol
lowing words: Certain states of mind
lead to certain habitual actions which
are of no service. Now, when a direct
ly opposite state of mind is induced,
there is a strong and involuntary
tendency to the performance of move
ment of ~ directly opposite nature.

Stones duties as clerk make him an
official of the Supreme as we'll as the
Superior cour, and he is a familiar figure
In both. His long service is due TO his
fitness for the ot1ice-an argument which
in several conventions has broken down
the argument of usage and rotation,
Benjamin G. Stone was elected clerk
of courts in September, 1886, and
has since served continuously in that
capacity. For the preceding eight years
he was deputy clerk, the late Alvin A.
Dennett being the clerk.
The duties of deputy clerk of courts are
ably filled by Mr.. Edward F. Tompson,
who has held the position since January,
1899 Previous to being clerk Mr., Tomp-
son had served one term as recorder of
the municipal court from March, 1891, to
March 1895. He is a native Of this city and
graduated from the Portland High school
In the class of 1873. Four years later he
was graduated from Colby college. He
studied law with Symonds & Libby and
Clarence Hale, Esq, and was admitted
to the Cumberland bar in October 1885 He
was one of the members Of the common
council from Ward Three In the years 8S
and $50, and was the secretary of the
Republican City Committee In the years
1899 and 1890. For the last four years he

II Is Probably the Busiest Court In

Judge Bonney the Dean

He Was Appointed To the Bench
Twenty-Five Years Ago.

In these days, when the machinery Of
the law in this county is SO much inIpeo-
ple's minds, an interesting institution Is
the SuperiorICourt of Cumberlandscounty
In the first place it is one OF the busiest
indeed, probably, the busiest-court in
the State of Maine. The judicial system
of Maine contemplates a system of cir
cults. The higher courts are supposed to
be held by Judges of the Supreme Court
who go to the various county seats sever
al times year to hold court the Chief
Justice annually assigning his assocl-
ates as we'll as himself, to the counties
which they are to visit. This is the old,
historic method, coming down from CEN
turies Of English usage. st has been in
use in Maine long years, and is today the
system. But as time went on Cumber
land county grew greatly in Importance,
and it gradually came about that when
the Supreme Judge would come here he
would lind more cases than he could
dispose of in the time at his command.
The result OF this was that liti9ants were
The Portland daily press., 1900-10-06

forced to wait, and justice was delayed.
About 1868 this state of affairs had be-
come very serious; and one Of the first
duties that devolved upon Thomas B.
Reed, who that year servedshis first term as
Representative in the Maine legislator
was to champion the bill to create a
Superior Court for the county of Cum
berland
The object OF this Superior Court was
to relieve the session Of the Supreme
Court OF large part OF it's business. The
Circuit system still continued; but the

years, studying law in his spare mo-

in the offic of Hon. Josiah n. Drum

law office in Bath. He returned to Port

He said once, with humorous twinkle
of the eye, that he was the only man who
ever got the unanimous endorsement of
the Cumberland Bar for a position.
''When I wanted to be Postmaster of
Portland, he said, "every member OF
the bar hastened to sign my petition they
were SO anxious to get me off the bench.''
Judge Goddard was succeeded by Judge
Joseph W. Symonds, who after few
years of service, was appointed to the
Supreme Bench.
