Most people harbor the delusion that
all judges are dry az dust and that
service on the bench kills mans
sense OF humor even IT richly endowed
with that quality originally. This is
not true, however. Hon. William w.
Rucker Of the Second Missouri district
was for many years a circuit judge.
but he still INDUCES occasionally in q
little dry humor.
A Poor Place to Make Money.
During the campaign OF 1900 Judge
Rucker In debate with his Republican
opponent attacked the agreement en-
tered into by General Bates and the
sultan Of Sulu as authorizing slavery.
His antagonist replied that under that
agreement provision was made where
by the slaves can buy their freedom.
whereupon Rucller said: THAT re-
me tof the story of pauper nam
ed Smith Who was in the Livingston
county poorhouse. Que OF the county
Judges was out there on tour of in
spection. He asked Smith how he was
well, judge. lave plenty to eat.
plenty to wear aud Il good bed to sleep
in, but this is the poorest place to make
money in tha, ever saw. SO ii ap-
pears to me that the provision as to
the Sulu slaves purchasing their lib
erty places them in as poor situation
for making money as was Smith while
in the poorhonse.'
Judge Robinson Chips In.
After listening to Judge Fuckers
story Judge j. NJ. Robinson Of Indiana
related this: I'VE hear many pleas
