to receive and is always doing some
charitable act. We remember years
ago when Indian Joe Alleck's poor
old mule was turned out to hustle for
himself in snow two feet deep, seeing
Jim gather up an armful of excelsior
in rear of store and carry it out in the
street to the poor, starving beast. The
mule filed up on the first rations he
he had had for week or more, and no
doubt would have expressed his
thanks could he have had the gift of
speech same as the party who sat down
to the fine oyster supper at his ex-
pense. The party tried to be lively,
but Jim's vacant chair was constant
reminder of his absence. The ladies of
the party,-the ladies' Jim--said they
would newer forgive you for not COM
ing to that supper.

Important Decision As Fees.

The supreme court last week ren, dered decision in the case of Greene County vs. Light. George o. Light, the county clerk of Greene county, sued the county for sS66, alleged to be due him as fees for the issuing of S,G00 warrants upon the county treas urer. The contention urged by Light was that the issuance of each warrant, and the taking of a receipt therefor, as required by law, constituted a set clement within the meaning of the statute allowing the county clerk s fees at the rate of 10 cents for each settlement. The supreme court held that the issuance of the warrant, after same had been ordered by the court was not a settlement within the terms of the statutes and dismissed the claim.

St, Louis, Dec. 16.-The case of the state against Edward Butler. charged In an indictment with bribing 19 mem- bers of the house of delegates to pass the city lighting bill, appears on the circuit court docket at Fulton, Mo, for trial to-day.
 The opinion of the supreme court in the case tried at Columbia has not officially been handed down, and the case can not go to trial until certain formalities have been complied with in regard to the former case.
 It is probable that the case will be set for trial at the May term Of court. Judge Alexander Waller, who was one of Buffers attorneys in the other case, Is judge of the circuit court in which Butler will be tried. He probably will disqualfy himself and select another judge to hear the case.
