Representative Henry of Texas. dis
cussing the Cochran Dalzell incident in
the house, was telling how Thomas
Fannin Smith. Of Texas, was accus-
toned to bullyrag the judges before
whom he practiced
Does counsel think this court is a
fool?" asked the judge of Cnith after
a particularly boastful statement had
been made by counsel.
II should not like to answer your
honor's question, and would be glad to
be excused" Smith answered, cas-
might subject myself to contempt of
court"
You are fined $40 for contempt" the
judge answered.
With a great display Of bills Smith
paid the fine to the clerk, at the same
time muttering: Anyhow, it as $40
more than the court can show"
You are fined $50 additional OF con-
tempt" the court ordered and as Smith
did not have this amount he was to
raise 1t before the next day or go to
Jail.
Your honor" he finally said "in
view of all the circumstances, am
convinced your honor was Joking about
that $50 fine. and move that it be re-
mitted."
Smiths assurance was so great that
the judge RENTED the $50 fine.

Why Missionaries Stay.


Why do the missionaries stav ~
their posts at such times? Sometimes
because the danger to their personal
safety is no greater than they would
meet by Withdrawing. OFTEN their de-
parture or the sending away Of their
families on warship would be inter-
preted by the people in their care as a
sign of far greater perils than really
exist. A missionary OF the American
board in Macedonia lately said that IL
he and his co-laborers should flee In
response to the warning of our gov
eminent. the whole district would be
thrown into panic. Many of the peo-
pie We're coming to sleep at night on
the missionary premises, but kept at
their work by day, and the continued
presence of the missionaries was a
strong assurance Of safety to them.
In some cases the abandonment by
missionaries OF their fields in time of
danger has caused severe loss, not only
Of property. but of prestige which 1t
required many years to recover. In the
recent Boxer troubles in China the
American board cabled to its mission
aries to use their own Judgment as to
remaining in certain district An
other board sent imperative instruc-
tons to it's missionaries to withdraw,
and they obeyed reluctantly. Our mis-
sionaries decided to remain and the
wisdom of their choice is now conceded
by all acquainted with the facts. 1t is
not the government which assumes to
decide when the missionaries ought to
leave their fields but certain newspap-
ers, which If the missionaries followed
their advice would quite quickly be the

These men are manifestations, not

adjacent land began to fence in the dry

another change: it began to fill up so

farmers whose land has been recap

this fine body Of water, and have dyna-
