Story of a Lost Pocket Book.

A party in town lost a pocket-book
last week containing considerable cash
and he advertised the loss in the UNION.
In a day or so he was presented with
his pocket-book and it's valuable con-
tents by the parties with whom he has
been stopping. The wallet was found
in the pillow case on the bed in which
the party had been sleeping, the lady
of the house finding it when she
changed the linen on the bed. The
owner of the pocket-book says that he
has no knowledge of ever having placed
the wallet there, and thinks he must
have transferred the purse from his coat
to the pillow case in his sleep. Here
is a proposition in psych ology.

Referring to the bill introduced in
the legislature pensioning judges who
have served twenty years continuously
on the bench and who have reached the
age OF seventy years, Judge Baxter said
he was not an applicant for the benefit
of its provisions. He had never asked
the government for a pension for his
service in the civil war and never
would as long as he was able to earn a.
living for himself. Judge Baxter is
not looking for any soft berth and
''found'' at the public expense.-St.
