The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1902-05-22

II UDGE BAKER, the newly ap-
poned Judge Of the United
n States Court Of a Western ju-
dlcial district was on his way
to Chicago to attend a banquet given
in his honor by the Legal Light Club,
and his whole appearance radiated
satisfaction with himself and all the
world. He had attained the height
of his political ambition, was recent
Iy married to the woman Of his choice,
and enjoyed life in the beautiful home
he had planned and built His health
and temper were uniformly good, and
what more Of fortunes favors could
he reasonably expect? The Judge was
both contcnted and grateful.
Yet that very morning he had re-
ceived an anonymous letter threaten
ing his life. He knew it was from the
opal" Of criminal he had sent to the
penitentiary, and it did not cause him
a moment Of anxiety, but he had left
his wife in tears. She had bought him
a silyer-mounted revolver, and begged
him to 60 armed. And he had laughed
at her fears and refused to carry the
weapon.
"You would make me a lawbrcaker,
Myrtle" he had said, by causing me
to carry concealed weapons. l an
used to threats and am not afraid OF
them. Those fellows know that they
are guilty and deserve all that They
get, and they know, too, that an

and not one Of them dares TO look mt
in the eye. They can only bluste
and threaten at Il safe distance b,

for sacrifice l will fall in the trac
of duty"
So Judge Baker carried with him o
his trip neither weapons nor worrie
He threw off every care and was
genial at heart as he was in appea
ance. As he was speeding along o
the Omaha express he gave himself u

enjoyment Of the next few days. S

II Seemed So.

IT did seem that the weather
would continue dry, but nov since
we have had all abundance Of rain,
we remember that things are not
what tIev seem to be sometimes,
and that, in fact, We are not verv
good Judges Of the weather that is
to be, nor can we. with any degree
Of accuracy, recall the weather that
has been.
The only words the little six
weeks-cld, Kansas baby said was,
"Seven years famine" and then it
died, That coming along with
our little dry spell scared some in
to taking famine right along,
But, the strangest kind Of things
happen in Kansas, for we are re-
minded by song we have heard
tliat-"Roosters lay eggs i'll Kan
sas."
We do wonder if we can't all SCI
trouble enough without having tt
run ahead Of time to get it?
