Too Much for the Judge.

Judge William Yost of Greenville.
KY, who is a candidate for the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals. is one of the
biggest men in the state, physically at
least. for he stands feet inches in
his stockings, and has a pair of should
ers like those of a professional prize
fighter, says the New York Times. The
judge is a great joker, and when in
this city recently a bootblack called
out Shine, sir!" the judge looked at
him vacantly, pretending to be deaf
and dumb. After several minutes OF
sign language he understood. He
leaned against building, and the boy
went to work Another bootblack ap-
peared, and the one at work said:
"Youse needn't stop; dis is all NINE"
"Sh-h! He'll hear yer" whispered the
other.
I'm gettin' FIVE a shoe for desc
scows," was the others reply in loud
voice. The second boy looked so as
tonished at his friends holiness that
the latter laughed and said:
SAY, yer chump, he's deaf and
dumb, Seer"
The other boy, who had been looking
with all his eyes at the giant, blurted
out in a loud tone of admiration: Say,
he's a big, ugly lookin' divil, amt he?"
This was too much for the Judge.
and he broke into a laugh. The boys
looked for an instant at him, and then
fled down the street, leaving the Judge
with but one shoe polished to look for
another bootblack to make equally pre-
sentable the other "scow."

LAS a matter of fact" said Mr. Pei
ton at the table the other morning,
according to the Chicago Tribune
THE yacht building business has, like
a good many other things, been mar
rowed down to such a state OF per-
lection that victory for one side or the
other is merely a matter of chance or
seamanship. Take the Columbia and
the Shamrock, for instance. They're
both perfect specimens of the yacht
builders art. One is just as good as
the other. and this thing of racing
them is about as sensible as it would
be to take two locomotives, both turn
ed out of the same shop, built exactly
alike and race them on parallel tracks.
One might win from the other, but
it wouldn't be due to any superiority
of its machinery. The track it ran ON
might be smother than the other, or
it might be handled better, that's ALL
So what does yacht race come to in
the end? It's merely scheme to let
somebody get lot of advertising and
to have bunch Of banquets and a big
social hurrah."
But, Arby," said Mrs. Pelton-she
never calls him Arbuthnot unless she
is angry or has formal callers-"Why
does the Shamrock have to give the
Columbia time allowance"
"Oh, that's a technical matter that
you wouldn't understand if 1 explained
it to YOU" he replied. 1T really
doesn't amount to anything at all.
They give it just to make outsiders
think the boats are different"
And then" she went on, there's
elapsed time. What does that mean?
Mr. Pelton looked around to see If
they were alone, and replied:
Elapsed time? Good gracious, Mar
guerite. l should hate to expose my
ignorance by asking such a question.
The elapsed time is the time that
elapsed before the boat that was be-
hind at the start got over the line"
oh" said Mrs. Pelton, II supposed
the corrected time was really the time
that the last boat got started, What
does the corrected time mean, dear?"
That's the time they figure out when
the time allowance is taken off. Any
one ought to know that much
well" she asked, 'if one boat has
a time allowance of forty-three seconds
and the other doesn't start till seven
teen seconds after the one with the
allowance and the first boat gets to
the home base eleven seconds ahead,
what is the corrected time for the one
that had to start from the scratch?''
THAT means" said Mr.. Pilton, as
he took his hat from the hall tree and

With college record and degree,
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name,
She walks in old. long trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home Is her kingdom, love her dover
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven

To win a smile and wipe a tear.
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined,
AS round some reverend saint en-

And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world In good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew.
And life for her is high and grand.
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.

THE QUESTION OF R1ruALrsM.

1t is the understanding that the ques-
ton of ritualism viii occupy a very
considerable part of the attention Of
the great Episcopalian convention now
in session in San Francisco. We have
pointed out two or three times recently
that there is a good deal of feeling in
the Episcopal Church on this question.
This feeling is probably Stronger in
the West than in other sections of the
country. 1t is but natural that the
West should be less sympathetic with
forms of any kind in religious matters
than the East or even the South.
Evidence as TO how the West feels in
respect to ritualism is contained in the
sermon. at the opening services of the
convention. preached by Bishop Moriss
of Oregon. The Bishop pointed out
the religious needs of the great West
and the inadequacy of the means for
satisfying those needs. The churches
there are few and far between, es-
pecially Episcopal Churches In a voice

less numbers OF our brethren to whom

Gospel of Christ in its simplicity and
power and which is to them as yet an
unheard Of story"
1t is clear that Bishop Moriss is not
in sympathy with the ritualists. Doubt
less he looks upon all but the simplest
forms in church service as being of
little or no benefit to religion. Indeed,
from the way he spoke of the various
things which are included in a ritual
istic service 1t may be that he looks
upon ritualism as being altogether
wrong.
But there are good men in the Epis-
copal Church who approve so highly
of ritualism that they will make a hard
fight for it in the convention. 1t is
probable that some of the most inter-
esting debates of the San Francisco
meeting will be on this subject.

Morehouse of Port Jervis, N. j.. was
bitten on the leg by a rattlesnake. A
doctor was sent for. but being several
miles away, it took him some time to
come. Meanwhile Abe's friends barred
his leg and tied bandage tightly
around 1t above the wound. They were
quite sure that Abe would die before
the doctor could get to him, but they
proposed to do all they could to pro-
long his life. 1t was noticed that as
soon as the leg was barred a swarm
of mosquitoes settled upon it, Having

upshot of the matter was that when

in no need of medical attention; but
the ground all around was black with
dead and dying mosquitoes. They had
sucked all of the poison out, nobly sac
rificing their lives that Abe might live
and they might get mention in the
papers.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem.)
says: President Roosevelt assures the
members of Congress that their wishes
in regard to appointments will be fav-
orably considered. provided they shall
recommend fit persons for office. A
strict observance of this rule would re-
quire a civil service investigation
which senators and representatives
have not been much in the habit of
making-at least, not in this section
of the country"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: Viewed in the light of
results. the fact remains that the work
of the American navy in the Spanish
war has never been surpassed in sheer
brilliancy. But, in this, as in other
armed struggles. 1t may be accepted
as a safe rule that the innards' of a
war will never bear close inspection If
its conduct is to be idealized."

There is every reason to believe that
