PuNs AND PROMOTIONS.

C1ergymen Who Have Been Reward
ed For Their Facetiousness.
Canon Melville owed his earliest pro
motion teya pun, says London jour
nal. When the late Earl of Dudley,
who knew Mr.. Melville suficiently to
remember that his Christian name was
David, had living at his disposal he
received a letter containing only the
words, Lord, remember David" The
earl's reply was no less terse and Scrip
tural: Thou art the manY
Perhaps the earliest instance OF &C.
clesiastical promotion woS by pun is
that of curate named Joseph, who
was prompted by Swift to take this
text for sermon preached in st. Pat
rick's cathedral, Dublin, before the
viceroy, Butler" the Duke of Or
mond. "Yet did not the chief Butler
remember Joseph, but forgat him"
The Rev. DIR. Mountain, who was the
son of a beggar, owed nearly every
step of his successive promotions in
great part to his Righteousness and
won the last step of all by a single
Jest. When he was consulted as bishop
of Durham by George II. as to the fit
test person to fill the vacant archiepis-
copal see of York he replied: "Sir,
hadst thou faith as a grain of mustard
seed thou wouldst say to this Noun
tain dramatically striking his breasD,
BE thou removed and cast into this
sea (see).'" That George III. should
so understand and appreciate the joke
as to accept its suggestion is perhaps
the strangest part of the story.
Apropos of puns, promotion and the
see of York, here is a good story of a
living given by an archbishop of York
In reward for an impertinent personal
pun. The archbishop, Sir William
Dawes, entertained his clergy at din
ner shortly after the death of his wife,
Mary who appears to have been a reg
ular Mrs. Proudie at once to his grace
and to the diocese. At dinner the arch
bishop apologized, with sigh, for
things not being in the apple pie orc err
that prevailed when his dear, dead
wife, Mary, was alive. Being himself an
inveterate punster, he added, with a
sad shake of his head, ''She, indeed was
Mare Pacifcum?' A curate who kne w
too well what a tartar the deceased
lady was rejoined, AYE, my lord. but
she was first Mare Mortuumy and was
absolutely and Immediately rewarded
by the archbishop for this impertinent
pun with living of f500 year.

IDAHO, FAIR IDAHO.

1t Is really an empire worthy of
the name that was carved out of the
old Oregon country In 1863 and des-
'gnated as Idaho. From the British
Columbia line on the north to the
boundary line that is marked by
Utah and Nevada on the south is a
distance OF 400 miles, while from
wyoming on the east to Oregon on
the west is distance OF 3O5 miles.
A magnificent area of nearly $50, 600
square miles, as diversified in topop-
rapby and productiveness as any Dor
ton OF the great west, is included
within the boundaries OF this state.
As member of the American fam
lily of com monwealths, admitted to
the union In 1890, Idaho is vet to
be considered as experiencing it's
hrst flush of vigorous youth In the
IA years that it has enjoyed the priv
ileges of statehood, it has been ac-

alive to all the advantages that the
state has to offer, and the result has

+" THE ONLY WAY T"
To the Worlds Fair, st. Louis

Fittingly and permanently commemor-
ating the vast Importance of the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition, the year 1904
will witness the completion of the new
line of The Chicago e. Alton Railway
between Kansas City and st. Louis.
Operation over this new road, which will
be the short line between Kansas City
and ST. Louis, will commence about
June 10, 1904-only short time later
than the opening of the Worlds Fair.
In time of completion, and also in other
ways the Atoms new line is typical of
the fair. The st. Louis Exposition will
show the highest examples of every pro-
duct of all kinds in the world, as will the
Chicago g. Alton new line show the high
est standard to which the worlds rail
ways can be brought. AS the Worlds
Fair will illustrate the processes which
make American goods preferred in the
markets of the world so the Chicago &
Alton will illustrate in all details con-
struction, equipment and operation
the accepted standards, which serve as
models for the worlds common carriers.
The trains run via the Atoms new
Kansas City-St. Louis line will provide
additional and very much faster service
to and from the Worlds Fair city, and
our readers will do we'll to make sure
that their tickets read between Kansas
City and st. Louis via 1.-THE Only Way

A COURT SCENE.
HOW A JUDGE, WHO WAS no RE-
SPECT0R OF PERSONS DIS
PATCHED COURT
BUSINESS.
He Was Not Seeking Compliments
From the Bar, But Was Bent on
Doing His DUTY.

a few days ago we made some
remarks In this column descrip
tive of the dilatOry practices OF
our courts, explaining the cause of
the crowded dockets and the APP
parent need of more circuits. and
contending that the romedy is in
the hand Of our judges, without in
crease Of number. We did not say
that even a ma ority Of our present
Judges, however excellent mon
they may be, can apply the remedy.
We doubt that we could ourself :.
III wo had tho necessary legal quail
lfications; we hardly think we
could. But men should be elected
judges who can answer the re-
quirements.
If they could not be found in
the state, then it might be neses.
sary to supplement quality with
number.
in the articles referred to we ex-
pressed a purpose to refer in a
subsequent issue to examples we
had seen Of the dispatch of bust
ne@ which were complete proof Of
our contention. Here is one:
Court was coming on, and John
Doe was defendant in a case which
had been continued a time or two,
and Major Jones was his attorney
The latter wrote urgent letters and
sent hlm messages by noighbors to
como to town at once, rs he must
see him Oh important business.
The ciont promptly cbeyed the
summons and hurried to his law
yer- office. M>jor Jones laid
down his pen, turned on his chair
and scarcely waited for an ex-
change Of greetings, said, John, Old
fellow, you'll have to get up your
Witnesses in that case and have
them all here promptly at The
opening Of court.
Doe What do YOU mean

ready but better that than the
Deniteutiary Clark is iapartial
and all right but he's not the sort
OF a Judge we need in our business
Just now.
Doe had seen all his witnesses
before he got home and they all an
Swered when called in court.
At the opening of court the
jurors were called and one having
failed to answer, the crier was di-
rected to call him. He started for
the door but was promptly stopped
by the jndQe, who said firmly
"Stand within the bar and call in
tone distinct enough to be heard
over the room. There will be no
calling from the door or windows.
These seats are for the accommo-
dation of persons who have bust
ness with the court, and must be
reserved for them as far as neces-
sary. They must be here when
called. They are here to attend to
public business and not to trade or
lounge around town. Every mo-
ment Of our time is paid for and it
is an injustice to the county that
one man be allowed to detain the
whole court while waiting for him
to be called in from the streets, Mr..
Sheriff you will see that there is
no noise or confusion to interfere
with the dispatch of business.
The juror was called again as
had been directed, and having
failed to answer, the clerk was or
dered to enter Judgment nisi"
with fine of $40.
Several spectators tip~toed out
of the room, evidently for tho pur-
pose, as appeared later, Of warning
friends who were witnesses or we're
otherwise connected with the court
and soon dozen or more men en-
tered, with the tread Of a cat, and
took seats.
The electrical effect Of the judges
little speech was seen in the call
ing OF witnesses. 1t proceeded
thus:
John Johns" "Hcrep' And
Johnson was out in the aisle and
rushing toward th3o bar by the
time the last syllable Of his name
was pronounced. Before he got
thoro, however, another witness
had answered and was ch,-ing him
lown the ajslo, and q third was on
the move. Witnesses, iutors, law

the leading lawyers, was juror
or witness, we have forgotten
which. He kept hotel. and hav>
ing many guests at that time, he
tarried little too long after the
recess for dinner one day. When
he failed to answer his name, fine
of $40 vas promptly imposed, and
the judge refused to modify tho
sentence, at least up to the time of
our latest information.
Col. Sandfer had the largest
practice in the county, and was at
torney for ono of the parties 10
suit which was on trial at the time
for the noon recess on another day.
1t should be said that Judge CLARK
always required clock to b, placed
in the3 court room, and when the
time for the order cf tho day ar
rived that meant the prompt sus-
pension of everything else, and
when the time for the regular busi-
ness arrived 1t was resumed on the
minute. On tho day MENTIONED
Col. Sandifer was not in his place
at the minute court was called to
order. The Judge directed that
the trial proceed Hls attention
was called TO the absence Of the at
torncy who alone represented one
of the parties. The judge said that
the business of the court could not
be delayed by the tardinesS of per-
sons whose business it was to be
there. That if those who occu-
pied prominent positions were
not required to be prompt it would
not be reasonable to require the
less favored to be in their places,
therefore they should 90 on with
the trial. The opposing counsel
then plead with the Judge, saying
that this would place him in very
embarrassing position, that Col.
Sandifer was III very delicate health
indeed, and he was sure he would
be there Just as soon as he could.
Just then the missing attorney was
seen coming and the judge, some-
what reluctantly consented to wait
until he got to his place.
1t was creditably reported of
Judge Clark that on one OCCASION
when he went to RutberfordtOn,
perhaps it was, to hold court, he
reached the court house few min
utes late, on account OF the trains
delay. His first act on taking his
scat was to direct the clerk to en-
ter fine Of, $50 against the pre-
siding Judge. The unanimous voice
of the bar was raised in his behalf,
but he promptly refused to hear
any appeals in his behalf. He said
n time was set for court to open
and 1T was the duty Of every one
who had business there to be on
time, and above all the presiding
Judge. He had taken the risk of
depending on train s schedule.
That was his concern, not the cOun-
tvs, and he must pay the penalty
as he wonld require others to do.
Some unfortunate persons felt
that Judge CLARK imposed hard.

gave more general satisfaction. He
put through tho work Of two or
three average judges, and it was
done incOmparably better. Wit
