Jerome c. Knowlton, professor of
law in the University of Michigan, has
a vast fund of good stories and tells
them to perfection. One is of the time
when United States Senator Quarles
of Wisconsin was a student. One
morning Qnarles went to his class in
chemistry without having studied his
lesson. The chemistry professor asked
the students to recite in the order in
which they were seated, and Quarles
hid behind youth of massive frame.
But the professor knew he was there,
and when it came to his turn the old
gentleman called out in shrjll tone:
"Quarles, your ears are too long to
hide there"

ST. CLAIR JUDGMENT RENEWED.

A new judgment, which included the

Circuit Court at Kansas City in favor
of John b. Henderson, Jr., of Virginia,
and was for 1851 ,013.
This judgment originally was for
$4,000 against the county in 1873,
and drew 10 per cent interest from that
time up until now, and will continue
to draw 10 per cent interest until paid.
The judgment, unless renewed, would
run out in ten years, and so the hold
ers of it go into court each seven years
and have the original judgment re-
newed and the interest added to it.
This particular judgment was origin
ally in favor of General John b. Hen
