TWO PUGNACIOUS JUDGES.
Sensational Case I'm South Dakota
That Had It's Prototype
I'm Kansas,

In the dispatches of a recent Sun
day there was an account of a sem
sational occurrence in the district
court of Watertown, S. d. In the trial
of q divorce case one of the attorneys,
| George w. Case, said something of
iensive to Judge Julian Bennett, who
sat on the bench Thereupon Judge
Bennett responded notify and Mr.. Case
said: Judge Bennett, you can ad-
dress me in that manner from the
bench. but were not court in session
I would not tolerate such statement
from you" Springing to his feet,
Judge Bennett exclaimed: 'HThis court
is adjourned" and with that knocked
Mr.. Case down with blow in the face,
says the Kansas City Journal.
And the story is doubly interesting
as showing how history will repeat
itself, though we regard the Kansas
incident which we are about to relate
as the funnier of the two. In 1868,
the famous Judge Joyce was justice
of the peace in Hays City, and, as the
only judicial officer in the region, adj
minstered the law with an autocrat-
! ic hand. In the town were two law
yers. only one of whom has to do with
this story. His name was Ryan, and
some months before he and Judge
Joyce had quarreled, with the result
of Ryan being disbarred from practice
on the ground that he had been a
] rebel soldier whose diSa Utilities had
never been removed OF course, the
fact of Ryan's being rebel soldier
was not cause for his disbarment, and,
anyway, Joyce had no right to disbar
him, but everything went in the west
in those days, and for sOIpe months
Ryan had to stay out of court. How
ever, after Joyce had considered his
enemy sufficiently punished he sent
word to him that he could come into
court. The next case which came up
| for trial was against a fellow who
had stolen COW. and he engaged
| RYAN to defend him. In due course
| the prosecution made its case. good
one. by the way, but while the wit
nesses were being examined Ryan sat
with his hat pulled down over his
eyes, saying never a word At last,
when the guilt of the prisoner had
been established beyond al doubt, the
prosecution rested, and, turning to
Ryan, Judge Joyce said:
"The defnce can now take the
sthand."
whats the use? A man can't get
justice in this court" responded Ryan
"Mishter Constable, adioorn the
coort!" shouted Joyce, springing to
his feet. "Come OUTSIDE, We monkey
faced hellion, an I'll give We justice! ~
And whereupon everybody ad-
iourned to the outside, where Joyce
and Ryan went at It hammer and
tongs. with the result that Joyce re-
ceived a beautiful licking. Later.
when the blood had been washed off
and considerable red liquor washed
down, Joyce reconvened the court and
solemnly gave judgment for the de-
| PENDANT.
"But, here!" shouted the lawyer
for the prosecution. "We proved that
man guilty and he ought to be sem
fenced"
evil We hould yer yawpP" sternly
responded his honor. THE coort
finds itself reversed an Misther Ryan
wins on appeal"

A TALK ABOUT MULES.

Hot weather affects the mule less
than the horse.
The usefulness of a mule continues
longer than that of a horse.
A good, honest business mule is
worth, and will command, a good
price any day in the week.
A mule Is easier "broke" or trained
to work than horse, and is more re-
liable after initiated.
You hardly ever see a sick mule; he
seems practically immune from the
diseases which attack horses.
We would rather plow corn with a
team of mules than with horses; they
break down less corn and turn
around quicker.
A mule can endure more hardship
than horse, will pull more in pro-
portion to his size, and will stay
with it" longer.
An energetic mule will make a trip
quicker than a horse, though he may
not 90 so fast-the secret of his
speed is his uniform gait, steady and
persistent.
If team of mules runs away they
look out for themselves, and though
they may make some close turns and
go through a needles eye, so to
speak, they usually come out I'm
harmed.
The mule is not handsome, doesn't
make q good roadster, isn't stylish.
doesn't "do himself proud" if hitched
to a fancy, yellow road wagon or
cart, but what he lacks in appear
ance ne makes up in actual useful
ness on the farm.-Midland Farmer.

BlOuses.

Blouses now can be really lovely,
even the simplest. For five o'clock
tea, or even theater wear, there is a
new kind of gauze, white, shot with
gold, that makes an ideal garment,
requiring but little trimming beyond
a tucked collar OF net, lace or plain
chiffon, perhaps run through with a
suggestion of black velvet and gold
ribbon, tied with a wide knot of a
colored or black glace. A great deal
of individuality is shown in the
blouse, and, above all, in the putting
on of the same. If you really are III
hurry, never don blouse without
coat, for it must be carefully adj
iusted by the aid of pins. Another
item to be observed in wearing the
blouse is that everything be perfectly
fresh. Once gauze or chiffon be-
comes soiled, it produces a tawdry
and dissipated appearance.-Washing-
ton Star.

MAKES WOMEN COARSE.
Not One Girl in Twenty Can Steer
Safely Among the Rocks Jour-
nalIsn Places In Her Path.

Inreply to a letter sent by Edward
Box to representative men and women
journalists of this country asking. us
the newspaper office place for girl?'
a leading woman writer and editor
SAYS, in the Ladies Home Journal:
For a young girl l consider a newspa'
per office the most appalling moral
eye-opener imaginable. Naturally
where all subjects are published, they
are to a great degree discussed, and
woman must hear things that no
amount of chivalry from her masculine
coworkers can prevent. That bon
eamaraderie, which a woman of the
world understands and can cope with
is often the undoing of the young girl
who grows fippant and unwomanly in
her desire to be regarded favorably by
members of the staff"
A leading editor in replying to the
same question embodies in his letter
the opinions of the 20 other men who
also answer the inquiry negatively:
"It depends upon the girl it is said
And it does. But so much dependsupon
her, she is asked to carry so much, she
is required to be so everlastingly on the
defensive, that there isn't one girl in
20 who can safely steer across all the
rocks she meets. And even if she does
I do not see how it is worth her while
We are supposed to pay our women

tied as getting 500 a week, but. actu'
ally. she gets what I say. since pay her
each Friday. And hers is an unusual

He Could Not Spell.

The owner of a small bookstore in
Harlem, DESTROYS of a distinctive
name for the same, after some hours
of deep cogitation, finally hit upon
the legend: "Harlem's Literary Nee
ca" This he thought exceedingly
good, and he had man put it up in
enamel letters upon his window. Aft
err the job was done he was standing
out by the curbstone admiring the
effect of the inscription, when he
heard an old Irishman, who had
stopped and was also looking at it,
soliloquize as follows: "Well, now,
will you lux at that! The cheek of
that Scotchman, calm himself 'Haar-
r-lem's Literary Mickey just to catch
some of the Irish tradel An the
BLACKBOARD don't even know how to
spell Mickey" The inscription has
been removed. - Philadelphia Tele-

BEST HOG FOR FARMERS.
Weigh $50 or 300 Pounds In
Nine or Ten Months.

My opinion is that the most profitable
hog for the general farmer to raise is a
hog that can be made to weigh $50 or
300 pounds as early as possible, say at
nine to ten months of age, says CORE
spondent of the Prairie Farmer. AS to
breeds, my choice is the Poand-China.
The most favorable time for the young
pigs to arrive must be determined by
circumstances and the conveniences at
hand for caring for them. My expert
ence is the earlier the better, as find
it difficult to get the same growth on
a May pig at nine months as one far
rowed in March. am not prepared to
say just why this is so, but one reason
undoubtedly is that they are just in
time to feed on the young and tender
Cover and grasses. Where one has not
a good warm place for the young pigs
and wishes to raise a large number ii
is probably best and much more con-
venient to have them farrowed the
last of April or May and turn them off
at lighter weight or else keep them
through the winter, which takes more
care and feed. Another advantage to
be gained by early farrow is that if you
are an advocate of fall pigs you can
wean your pigs at six weeks or two
months old and breed your sows again
to farrow about September, or if you
do not wish to breed for fall litters your
sows may be fattened ready for mar
ket at that time, when pork is usually
a better price than later. This takes
them out of the way and gives better
opportunity to care for the young
pigs.
The young pigs should be fed liberal
ly with bone and muscle making foods.
Oats either ground or whole are an ex-
cellent feed for growth Do not feed
corn or other fattening feed until they
have made considerable growth. when
it is an easy matter to put on fat. If
they are pushed too fast in the first
place they will only make a lot OF fat
little chunks. There are several rea.
sons for getting the pigs to market as
soon as practicable. 1t saves feed, as
every experienced feeder knows that
the first 200 pounds is much cheaper
than the next 200 pounds, and the 100
pounds from 300 to 400 is usually quite
expensive.

nnIfe NJ GonI na Horses.

"Zebroids" SHAT is to say, hybrid
between the zebra and horse-are the
subject of report by the United States
minister to Brazil, says press report
These animals are already in use on
small scale in the Transvaal, and they
are subtle for Africa, because the
Tsetse fly does not injure them. They
have been tried successfully in Brazil
and are found very strong, lively and
docle. The hybrids take after the fe
male horse, and are black. brown, gray
ETC.. in color. The best horses fol
strong hybrids are the Clydesdale, SUI
folks and "Percherons" of France
Arab horses give excellent zebroics
very swift and active.

ELEVEN BILLIONS.
United States Treasurer Roberts Es'
innate of the Metallic Money
of the World.

An increase of more than 100 per cent.
in the money of the world in less than
a generation is an exhibit of the annual
report of the director of the mint.
Nearly the whole of this increase is in
metallic money and much the larger
portion is in gold. The total stock re-
ported in 1878 was about $4,6O0.O OO,OOO.
More than half of this was in paper
money, not fully covered by the metal
lie reserve. The situation at the begin
ming of 1900 showed a total monetary
stock of about $11 600, 100000, of which
only a little more than one-fourth was
in uncovered paper money, says the
Philadelphia Times.
Director Roberts finds that, while the
money supply of the world has in
creased about $7OOO,OO0OO0, the in
crease in gold money since 1873 has
been about $4,000, OOO,OOO; in silver
about OO,OO0,OOO, and in uncovered
paper money only about 65O,0OO,OOO.
A'large proportion of the increase in
god has taken place within the short
space of seven years, while the quantity
of silver money, which was at its max
imum of about $4,250 900 at the be-
ginning of 1896, has since been some
what reduced by the retirement of sill
yer by Germany and its retirement in
other countries. The conditions of 1893
showed a total monetary supply or
about $4,000, 100000, which has since
been increased by about $1,1OO, 100000
About $94O, 100000 of this increase has
been in gold money.

How 70 Put Up Wire Fences.

Wire fences should be straight from
point to point. Corner posts should be
tree trunks dug out with the lump or
stump set in the ground not less than
3H ora feet. Line posts should be driven
so that if fxost raises them they can be
driven down past it. Should be either
1917 or 80 feet apart, with false post
between; IL inch staples are best. For
trees. use board nailed on tree, fasten
wire on board. Sap corrodes zinc and
rots wire. Two points are safer and
cheaper than four points. In stretch
ing always begin on top wire. Never
use more than one staple on line post
two on end, or better, ratchet.-Ernest
Moses, in Farm and Home.

Miss Matilda, looking into her white
face, fell to trembling; she had not
before noted how old her cousin
looked.
"I never meant to be unfair" she
said. "He always called me Matte.
"Shall take it out of the drawer?'
repeated Miss Martha.
But it was Matilda's hand that
caught up the yellow paper and held
it to the flame. Then she drew it back.
"Waitl" she said. "Sha'n't we open
it?"
"Have I the right to answer that
question:" asked Miss Martha.
Suppose" answered Miss Matilda,
Suppose I-should say yes!"

She dashed her hand on the table,
making the flame of the candle shale.
"What foolery it all isl" she said;

Yes, will open it for YOU"

maybe it was intended for you.
Miss Martha looked at her. "yhat
difference does it make now?" she
asked. "Oh, what fools we have
BEEN" she cried; "what foolsl" Sine
grasped the letter and wrenched il
open and held it under the lighted
candle.

The paper fell to the floor.
"Matilda!" Miss Martha said in an
awful voice.
Miss Matilda threw her arms around
her.

over and over again. MARTHA

1t was some time before Miss
Martha could quiet her, which she
did, evidently by saying: "Burn it!

Then Miss Matilda took up the let
ter and held it over the candle.
"And even now" she said, hyster-
ically, 1--WE do not know which il was

I was older; there was a pathos atoIt

uncle's house for a home-in my Sc
cret heart I may have thought that

Her eyes were on the paper that
shriveled under the flame until ii
futtered to the table, a mere black
tissue.

Hn,v to Wash XYooIenx,

No part of the laundry work is, as
rule, so unsatisfactory as the wash
ing of the wooden garments. The
structure of wool fiber is so different
from that of linen and cotton that it
should receive different treatment i'll
the laundry. Rubbing and wringing
cause the wool fibers to knot, thus
giving us a thickened and shrunken
fabric; therefore wooden goods
should be sobbed and squeezed to re-
move the dirt, and the water should
be pressed out, not wrung out.-La-

One of the best disinfectants for the

strong for the first two or three appli-

Sufferers from this horrible malay

from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs

poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
