EARLY KANSAS JUDGES

In the early days. says the Kansas
City Journal. two Topeka attorneys
went over into Jefferson county to
try a civil case before a justice of
the peace. One of the lawyers went
equipped with a lot of law books,
while the other took nothing along
save a bottle and his wits. The man
with the books clearly had the law
on his side, and when the evidence
was in he commenced to read from
the books to the court to show this
fact. "Your honor" shouted the other
attorney, springing to his feet, 81 ask
you to find my colleague guilty of con-
tempt of court. He comes here with
the cunningly formed purpose of
prejudicing this court by reading from
books about cases which are not be-
fore this tribunal. 1t is an insult to
the bench, and 1 ask your honor to
take judicial cognizance of the mat
ter" And thereupon the virtuous JUS
tice of the peace fined the book law
yer for contempt of court and gave
judgment for the other attorney.
However, this instance is no more

THE MAN FROM WORCESTER.
His Ability to Make People Give Up
Their Hoarded Treasures.

President Schwab of the United
States Steel corporation, during the
course of an address delivered lately
at a banquet of the Worcester (Mass.)
Chamber of Commerce. told story
that the reporters overlooked, but
which is too good to be lost. He was
making clear the general estimate in
which the shrewdness of Worcester's
business men is held.
rye had superintendent at Home

tionally bright man. whom we sent en-
a tour of New England to see what he
could find there in the way of new de-
vices and improved methods. Among
other places he visited was Worcester,
where he remained more than a
month. Shortly after his return he re-
ceived a hurry call in the middle of

used.
In 1896, congress, in making the ap-
preparation. embodied mandatory
clause; and, with much misgiving,
Postmaster-General William L. Will
son, in October 1896. established the
first route, which was out of Charles
ton, w. Va. On the first of July, 1897,
only forty-three routes were in opera
ton. To-day there are more than
5000 routes, serving 100000 farm
houses, in which live more than
4000,0 900 people. 1t requires some ex-
perienee of life in the country. under
old conditions. to realize what it
means to these people to be suddenly
brought from an isloated position into
daily touch with the outer world, the
news and events of which had only
sifted to them at hap1azard. The ter
ritory covered by the rural routes is
equal to about 10000 square miles,
equaling in erea the New England
States, New York and New Jersey.
Eventually they will cover 100000
square miles or more. The appropria-
ton for the maintenance of the SER
vice advanced from $40, 900 in 1897 to
$4,000 in 1898; S150.000 in 1899;

Palmer Fulton, a grandson of Robert
Fulton, who launched the first steam

LOGIC OF THE SABBATH.
Writer in AinsIee's Pleads for One
Day of Rest

AS psychologist. believe in the
Sabbath day. One day in seven should
be kept holy from work and sacred to
mans primitive paradise of leisure. l
am no Puritan pietist' or even Sab
batharian in any severe sense, but
hold that this is one of the greatest of
all human institutions and that the
command to keep it as a day of rest
is written in our physiological con-
stitutions. If need be, it may be kept
in sleep, mans great restorer. Mon
day our nerves and brain must be re-
freshed. and we must start a new
weekly rhythm on a higher plane than
we closed the old one. The mental
scenery must be changed The brood
er's overthought must have enlarged
our plans and given us both momen-
tum and direction. What form the
rest cure should take differs perhaps
Tor each person. l go to church, but
my neighbor should perhaps spend the
day in the fields. with children, in
music, in books, but for all there
should be peace. tranquility, repose.
surcease of worry and relaxation. In
no land should the Sabbath be so hal
lowed as in this land of hustle, ten
sion and Americanitis.' &C. Stanley

NOT A SUCCESSFUL DIP.
6aId-Headed Man Did Not Appreciate
Barber's Offer.

A droll incident occurred at a re-
cent church bazaar. The vicar of a
certain parish invited each of his par
ishioners to contribute something for
a monster lucky tub" and, as may
be surmised, the prizes unearthed by
the enthusiastic clippers" were of a
distinctly unique order.
On one evening of the festival a
pompous old gentleman-his Uranium
was as destitute of hair as a billiard
ball-strutted up, paid his three-pence,
and. after carefully adjusting his eye
glass, plunged his hand down to the
bottom of the tub.
A large crowd assembled round him,
all very anxious to get a peep at his
prize.
His chagrin may be easily imagined
when he found he had drawn an en-
velope containing L local hairdresser's
business card. upon which was in
scribed:
zone free haircut and shampoo.
The card had been contributed in
good faith by an impecunious, albeit
witty, wielder of the razor.

says he knows they were the work of
man. He is builder by trade, and
he recognized the layers of mortar.
Continuing his explorations, he
traced the line of walls, and was able
to distinguish how the streets were
laid out. He did not see any doors
or window openings, for they were
hidden by masses of seaweed and in
crustations.
He traced the masonry for a dis
tance of one hundred feet, where he
had to stop, as his diving cord would
not permit him to go further. He had
proved beyond a doubt that he had
found the ruins of an inhabited
town, which, through some catas-
trophe, had been sunk to the bottom
of the sea.
Some people think that they iden-
tify this lost town with the island
mentioned by Pliry the Elder, under
the name of Cissa, near Istria. This
island cannot be found now. and it
is thought the submerged town may
have been a settlement on the island
that so mysteriously disappeared.

A Name to coniure With.

Writing to the Indian Telegraph, a
Bengalese correspondent says:
'The great ability of his highness,
Maharajah Chandra Sham Shere Jung
Bahadur Rama, prime minister and
marshal of Nepal, as the supreme ruler
of such an independent territory, may
be well estimated by the fact that the
emperor of China has lately been
pleased to confer on his highness. the
rare title of Thung-ling -pimmakokung-

strong republican towns. Miss Flynn
carried Morris and Chokio by a NICE
majority, while King had So votes to
spare in Hancock. The women's
vote, which was larger than usual in
Morris, gave Miss Flynn a majority.
The election resulted as follows:
King, 7O5; Flynn Oil; Roberts, 344,
The contest between Munro and
Stenger for the county authorship
was considered one Of the uncertain
ties of the campaign. Munro worked
hard throughout the campaign, while
Stenger did but little canvassing.
The democratic nominee carried Nor
ris and received the united support
of his party, but Munro made large
gains in the country, where his work
was largely conferred. The election
resulted as follows: Munro, 997;
Stenger, 649.
The judge of probateship was
another interesting feature of the
campaign, and the closest contest of
all. Editor Babe, the republican
aspirant, was practically a young
man in politics and worked hard,
while the election of his opponent,
Mayor Bevans, the independent can
didate, was generally conceded.
Bevans was assured of the solid
support of the democratic party, and
counted ON the support of his old
friends in the republican party, but
over confidence led to his defeat. The
newspaper fraternity of Stevens
county is to be congratulated on hav-
ing such an able representative in
the court house during the next two
years.

H. T. Bevans also received the united

The fight between Delahunt and

most interesting feature Of the cam

slightly the advantage on account of

thought that the republicans being

interest as the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November of every
even numbered year. While a greater
number Of people participate in the
Fourth of July celebrations and the
holiday festivities, there is nothing
like a general election for real en-
thusiasm. AS a whole the 1902 cleo
ton was very peaceable fight, and
while there was a certain amount of
aggressiveness on the part of the
democratic state campaign managers,
the local election passed off without
any serious conflict.

President Mitchell does not care to

there will be much debate on various

conditions at some eollieries are diff.

decided before the plan is accepted by
the miners will be that Of taking care
