PONY FOLLOWED HIS HONOR.

vanished; he became totally absorbed
in it, oblivious to the world outside;
he pursued his subject to the profound
est depth. This concentration of the
powers of his mind, no doubt, assisted
him to become the great lawyer that
he was; but it sometimes raised a
good joke upon him.
Judge Monroe lived on that high,
steep hill on the west of Frankfort.
His saddle horse, on which he rode
down to court, was little pony, raised
on the hill, where he learned, with
the goats, to climb the hill and the
stairsteps of the houses. When
mounted, the judges long legs nearly
reached the ground, and when seen at
a little distance it was hard to tell
which of them was riding; whether the
pony was carrying the judge or the
judge the pony. He was a kind, little
fellow, loved the judge with all his
might, and when at liberty they walked
around Frankfort as boon compan-
ions-wherever the judge went, like
'Mary's little lamb" he was sure to
60"
One morning, when the judge had a
specially heavy subject on hand, caus-
ing more than, usual absent-minded-
ness, on dismounting, totally oblivious
to the pony, he forgot to hitch him,
as he often did. and started off for the
court room, the pony in close pursuit
and through the capitol square and up
the court steps they went and into the
middle of the court room they walked
seemingly ready to take seats on the
bench together, neither of them at all
embarrassed. The roaring laugh and
clapping of hands of the lawyers and
the crowd walked the judges from
their reverie. and the old town that
night was jolly as circus.-Cincin-

MAI. OGDEN'S GRAVE.
1t Marks the Geographical Center
of the United States.
Shaft Erected to the Memory of q
Brave Army Omcer Is Proof of the
Fact That Truth Is Stranger
Than Fiction,

The geographical center of the
United States is on high point of land
in the public reservation at Fort / iley,
Kan. 1t is marked by a large nionu-
ment, erected in memory of an officer
in the regular army, Maj. Edmund
Ogden, U. S. A., who died near this fort.
The monument was erected by DO
seph o. Sawyer, the father of DR.. =. y.
Sawyer, now a resident of Pico lights,
Los Angeles, who was named for the
major several years prior to his death.
Between Maj. Ogden and j. o. Saw
yer there existed a warm friendship
which lasted through many years
Back in the SOS Mr.. Sawyer, who was
noted civil engineer, had a contract
with the government to build a wagon
road between Fort Riley and Santa Fe,
n. NJ. Maj. Ogden was in command OF
| the government troops commissioned
to guard the road builders, for Indians
were plentiful and hostile to the whites
in those DAYS. but n far more To be
dreaded enemy was soon with tlAem,
for the cholera broke out in their camp
and Mai. Ogden was one of the first
to succumb to the disease. After his
death the army surgeons became panic
stricken and ran away. All of the COM
missioned officers and their wives died
and at one time the death rate cached
as high as GO in one day. Mr.. Sawyer
took complete charge of the eXPedi-
ton, becoming doctor, nurse and COM
mander of the troops, some of which
had already mutinied. Very little was
known in those days about the tr eat
ment of the disease; about all they
could do was to deal out quinine; and
nfter long fight the scourge died out,
leaving but mere handful of men to
return to the fort.
In the year 1856 Mr.. Sawyer de- ter

PONY IN COURT ROOM.
Creature Loved It's Master, n Learned
Judge, So Much That 1t Followed
Him Inside.

Henry Ward Beecher, often visited
the courtrooms in and around the city
of New York, where, he said, the wit
and bubbles, quirks and pranks of
the judges and lawyers made better
fun than the circus.
There were two scenes, many years
ago, enacted in the United States court
room at Frankfort, KY, which Mr..
Beecher would have said were equal
to Barnum's best. They were well
known to the lawyers of Kentucky of
the olden time. At present we will
speak of one of these scenes.
Hon. T. b. Monroe, at the time re-
ferred to, was United States Judge for
the district of Kentucky. He was
sometimes extremely absent-minded;
when he became deeply interested in
a great legal subject everything else
