WOULD FoREGo THRAsHING
An Attempt to Intimidate a Tarhee1
Judge That Proved
Signal Failure.

While Judge William NJ. Shipp was
presiding in the court in Nash coun-
ty, N. c., some years ago, a jury of
PIP good men and true" according
to the Tarheel Standard, brought in
verdict which the judge did not
approve, and he told the jury that
they had committed perjury or they
were set of fools and did not havd
sense enough to sit on jury.
One of the Jurors was a Mr..
Westray, who had been graduated
from the state university and was a
large land owner, and was known
as the most successful farmer in the
county. He was indignant over the
insult offered the jury and deter
mined that for one he would not SUBJ
NIT to it, provided he could resent
it without going to jail. So at tho
recess for dinner Mr.. Westray APP,
preached the judge and asked him,
as matter of law, appertaining to
the prerogatives of a judge, if he.
the judge, had any authority of law
to say what he did to the jury
Judge Ship answered that he Ger.
tainly did have that right by law.
otherwise he would not have eXer-
cised it. Mr.. Westray then put this
question:: Judge Ship, if 1 should
here and now proceed to give you a
genteel thrashing for what you said
to the jury, would you take it like
a man for your part as an individual,
or could you fall back on your judi
cial prerogatNes and put me in jail?"
The judge said in that event the
prerogatives would come into play,
and be mighty handy, and that he
would board Mr.. Westray at the ex-
pense of the county for two years.
Mr.. Westray then said: "Very well,
judge, if that be the case, we will
forego the thrashing," and walked

THE eoop-NAruRED MAN.
KANSAS

Here's to the man who has nothing to do,
He chatters and chuckles the busy day
through.
He bothers your work and he hinders
your nap,
And If you get angry he cares not a rap.
He likes to come round in a casual way,
With nothing to do and nothing to say.
He tells you the story you don't want to
hear,
He tells you the news that falls fat on
your ear.
For time that is precious has ruthlessly
fled,
And the family is waiting at home to be
fed.
You wish him all Joy that lifetime can
view,
But you wish that he wouldn't make
merry with you.
And he goes on his way with look of
regret,
When your work has been spoiled and
your plans are upset.
And because you're unmoved by his hui
morous prank
He says it's pity you're such a sad
crank.

it would no longer be safe for him
to remain in the vicinity of Farren-
ford. For the present he might let
matters rest, and there was other
work he had cut out to do, that ne
cessitated his presence in the city.
So it was that he came to occupy
the little cottage at the end of the
long garden at the bottom of Pleas
ant avenue. 1t was little more than
a pavilion, with two rooms on che
ground floor and two above. He
bought few pieces of simple furni-
ture and moved in, occupying the up
per rooms. The others he left to
the mice and spiders. At least, ne
could not believe that he had prying
neighbors, for they worked too hard
all day to bother themselves about
the affairs of others, and since he
had moved in in the evening, and the
house stood out of sight behind the
tall factory, it was doubtful if any
but few knew that the house in
the garden was occupied. So it was
that he felt genuine pleasure in his
retreat, for it seemed to afford a
refuge where he could pursue his
task without fear, and where he
hoped, for the present, no one could
find him out. To make matters
safer, he had taken the precautions
to change his appearance, so that
even the worthy innkeeper at Exton
would have had trouble in recogniz-
ing his former guest.
So far Hendricks had not been sue
cessful in his efforts to trace the
man who had written the letter.
the torn envelope OF. which had been
treasured ever since. 1t bore New
York postmark, and he hoped that
the writer was still in town, though
it might be otherwise. At least, he
might possibly come across one who
knew where he was to be found.
Though SO far he had accomplished
nothing, he still had hopes. A man
of the type he was seeking must in
time be found if he was in the city.
Those of his class belonged to certain
groups, and, however mysterious
their movements, their presence in a
place was always known.
