A Pleasant Visit.

A Pleasant Visit.
A young fellow who a got into
the habit Of spending all his evenings
away from home was brought ITO his
senses in me following way, says The
Home Advocate:
One afternoon his father came to him
and asked hin if he had any engage
ment for the evening. The young man
had not.
well, I'd like to have you go some~
where with me-"
The young man himself tells what
happened.
".All right 1 said. Where shall I
go?'
'fHe suggested the Columbia Hotel
at 1880, and I was there. When he
appeared he said he wanted me to call
with him on a lady. One I knew quite
we'll when I vas a young man. he ex-
planned.
we went out and started straight
for home.
".she is staying 1t our house. he
said.

have made the appointment for the
Columbia under those circumstances.
but I said nothing.
"Well, We went in, n 1 was intro

1.-The situation struck me as funny
and / started to laugh, but the laugh
died away. None of the three even
smiled. My mother and sister shook
hands with me, and my mother said
she remembered me as a boy, but
hadn't seen much of me lately.
Then she invited me ITO be seated.

The Mount Airy Leader comments
unfavorably on the suit Of Editor Me-
Neil against the railroad to recover
damages because of injuries received
while travelling on a free pass after tae
time had expired. We must say that
we endorse the position taken by The
Leader in the following:
Editor Mcneil secures $4,000 damages
for injuries received while riding on an
expired pass. That may be good law
but it does appear that the railroad is
punished for it's kindness to a man
who really had no right on the train.
He was a dead-head in every sense
Of the word, as his pass was out OF
date, and he was riding simply through
the courtesy Of the railroad people.
While we are glad to hear of an editor
making a. raise, we think that railroads
should have some consideration at the
hands of the courts.

Denver Judge Shocks Courtroom DIG
nifarfes to Listen 70 Eewsboyae Pea.

Judge Lindsay, of the county court OF
Denver, in a report upon the work OF
the Juvenile court OF that city. relates
the following little incident which de-
Official report:
One day in a busy civil session Of
h court, trying a win a involving
100000. b court room door opened
and a boy poked In his tousled head
and freckled face. The bailifY .shooed
him out, but he returned, not with any
thought OF ~disobediance. but because
he had learned that he had rights
there
II ordered a recess OF three minutes,
to the disgust, / fear, OF one or two
Of the distinguished counsel. and the
boy came to the bench. I'M aid and
smiling now, where he was crying with
fear the first time he was brought
there three months before.
He was what Is commonly cailsi
a street boy, or newsboy. He a that
he was having trouble; hat for two
years ap olicenan on theb eat had let
him sell papers OF a certain corner and
now, as he expressed IL, a fly guy had
taken his place, and cause he vas a
new cor he thought he owned the
town. and had. therefore, ordered HIM
OF the favorite corner, and he was
losing 90 cents a day.
The boy had a case, to me as impor-
tant as the one before theb ar involving
the millions that a dead man had left
behind for surviving selfishness and
cunning craft to battle for in the
courts / do not apologize, but I re-
joice that L thought the boy and his
little cause the most important thing
before the court"
1t is easy to imagine the disgust that
spread, like butter on a hot pancake,
over the faces Of the millionaire ill.,
giants and their pompous lawyers at
having their weighty cases held up
while justice was done to a boy of the
streets.
Their amazement is not extraordina-
ry. What the judge did was a remark
able and altogether unusual thing. No
doubt h public gave q little gasp
when it heard about it. 1t is very hard
for justice to refrain from slyly peep
ing under the traditional bandage and
sizing up the Iitigants.
There is often a rich kernel of right
in a little thing. A principle of justice
is no bigger when it applies to rich
peoples millions than when it applies
to a poor boys pennies.

the last place where this fact gains
practical recognition.
Injustice on the part Of the commu
nifty, represented by the fresh police
man, might have driven this boy out
of honest business. 1t might have i'm
pressed indelibly upon him a feeling of
resentment against the law and Of con-
tempt for 1t as an instrument OF injus-
tice and favoritism. Millions of bad
citizens are made in that way every
year
It is good to know hat there is a.
least one court room where right rep
resented only by a boy of the streets
in his regs has as good footing as the
cause of ZEN clothed in broadcloth and
represented by high-priced lawyers.
Such a jdge makes a court worthy OF
a republic. And he will make citizenship
worthy Of one, too.-Milwaukee Jour

Great Loss Inflicted on Farmers Dur

of the hog raisers has been appalling.

HOME AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Rip Van Wrinkle in Real Life -Leaves
Home but Keeps His Word About
Coming Back.

Kokomo, Ind, July 5.-Wilkin
Younkins, now an old man, returned
to the Ruseiaville neighborhood after
an absence of twenty years to a day,
having left July, 1884, with the state
ment that he would return in twenty
years. His son, Timothy Younkins,
now a merchant, was years old
when the father left. and was the
first person the wanderer recognized
upon his return.
1t was from his sons lips that the
father received hts first information of
the death of his wife. which occurred
a year ago. During the years of his
absence Younkins never wrote a line
home, and he was thought to be dead.
He gives no explanation of why he
absented himself, but says he feels
like Rip Van Wrinkle.
