HOMESPUN YARNS,

Two gentlemen of positive color STEP
ped into Judge z. +. COlbOrn's office on
Second South street the other day and
! asked if that was ticket brokers' Of
flee.
No, gentlemen" said the judge, with
that urbanity that has made him ia
nous the extent of the continent. mo,
l have not the honor to be a ticket
broker. What particular broker were
you looking for?"
LOving's his name, sub; yes, sub, Low
7Loving?" said the judge; Loving? I
never heard of such a broker in Salt
Lake Then a great light broke upon
him. Say, he inquired, isn't your man S
name Darling?'
"Suah, sub, DahIin,' that's the name all
the time and the couple were started
up the street.
The Jeffries-Corbett fight last week
gave rise TO many "reminiscences. Joe
! Caine was led to tell about the famous
Warm Springs fight when he was a re-
porter on The Herald.
I got wind of the matter" he said,
/ Just as the special train was pulling
out and jumped aboard. Old Mulkey
caught sight Of me before we got out
and came around to put me off the train.
l showed fight and one Of the fellows on
board took thy part, so L got through.
The scrap was pulled off all right. It was
bloody mix between two local thugs,
whose names I've forgotten. Coming
back to town, Governor A. l. Thomas
and a whole mob of deputy marShals got
/ aboard and put the entire train under
arrest. An officer was placed at every
door and no man was permitted, to 20
out. Tom Jennings is one of the fellows
who climbed out the car window at the
Hot Springs and walked to town. When
the train got in, l climbed through a
( window, caught a mack, got to the office
at IN the morning, held open the press
till 1 got ND two columns of a hot story
10 n a
still.
"Oh, the arrest didn't amount to much.
Two or three Of the principals were tried
and given light punishment; the others
got off free
A friend was congratulating ex-senator
Brown on his knowledge of politics just
after the last state convention
THAT reminds lie, said the senator,
"Of what happened to me when | was
a lad just out of school. Ny father was
a farmer on large scale and there was
not a better horse trader in the state of
Michigan. David Harum would not have
been in it for a minute with him. One
day-it was in my first year of law prac-
tice-we were cut driving, my father and
L We called on old John Gould, who
was fathers greatest rival in all that
country as a horse trader The two men
got to talking horse, Of course. Now,
was inter- ted in the subject myself, as
I had ju bought a little mare, and l
what | knew on the subject They lis
tened, and 1, thinking that l was making
a deep impression, put on more steam.
Finally, father turned to me and said:
Yes, Arthur, you are undoubtedly
right Your judgment as 10 horses can
not be questioned. MIR. Gould and l are
only Judges Of men,.
''WeH, 81 " said the senator in con-
clusion. that went through me like a
shot. 1t has lodged in my mind ever
since, and when you tell me now that l
have a knowledge Of politics, 1 say, No,
1 am only a judge of men,"
Tad is but 5, so that his ideas are not
entirely clear yet on all subjects
The other morning he asked: How
does the juggler know that the man is
bad when the police arrests him?'
1.-THE what?"
''The juggler, who juts the man in jail?''
Tt was some time before it was figured
out that the juggler meant the judge.
Even then it was not easy to explain the
difference.
