Forgot Where BE Was.

A country negro got what he de-
served but was not looking for Sat-
urday afternoon. He was before
Magistrate Chappell for violation
of contract. The magistrate kindly
told the negro he could return to
his work and be ready when called
for. Instead of being thankful for
the consideration of the Officer, he
remarked that it was we'll that it
was so because the magistrate
couldn't send men enough to arrest
him. That official promptly grabbed
the insolent negro and in the scuf1e
Constable Ben Havird quickly
dealt him a blow on the head with
a pair of handouts, but in place of
breaking his head the lick broke

treat criminals all right. but they
must not monkey with them.

Several days ago Mr.. B. E.
Julien, postmaster at Helena, re-
ceived word from the first assistant
postmaster general that the Helena

the efficiency of Postmaster Julien
