the legislature passed a bill increas.
ing the salaries of judges OF the ST.,
preme ana superior courts to $4,000
and $4,000, respectively, and the sal

This makes it necessary for the judg-

1905 appropriates the money to pay
the back salary increases, to which
they will be entitled under this bill,
before they can get the money.

St. douglass.

Twas the night before Christmas.
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with start and
a shake,
And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring.
Soon came to their ears,
A noise that would follow them,
ALI through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And 1t caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
"Oh, why did we make such a fearful
mistake;"
"Oh, John dear, I fear that
Ny poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'n call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over it ALL
And then no more leaks,
For we know that it's true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do"
