CAIRO JUDGE
Mistaken for n Washer and Swatted
One.

ST. Louis, Mo. Aug. 10.-Judge
l.. p. Whitnel is confined to his home
In East ST, Louis, because of injuries
he sustained on an Illinois Central
train Monday night. He said That he
was in the smoking car when his
friend. Judge William ~ Butler, OF
Cairo, entered and sat down beside
him. While they were talking, he
says. some one struck Judge Butler
from behind, knocking him down.
Judge Whitnel says as he turned
around a white man attempted to
strike him, and that he grappled
with the man and wrenched his back
before the brakeman and conductor
overpowered his assailant.
The man. he says. was turned over
to the authorities at Carbonate,
where he gave his name as Berry,
and said that he was member OF the
East st. Louis police force.
A telegram from Murphysboro,
H., states that Judge Butler was go
ing TO Marion to convene the VIII
Hanson county circuit court, and on
the train with him were Mr.. and
Mrs. John Berry of East st. Louis,
who were returning from a visit 10
Cairo. Judge Butler mistook Mrs.
Berry. the message says, for a for
mer acquaintance and spoke to her
In cordial manner Mr.. Berry
thought the judge intended TO be
familiar with his wife and struck
him In the face. To prevent further
trouble, II was said. Judge Butler
went into another car. and was fol
lowed by Berry, who knocked him
down.
The telegram adds that Berry was
arrested at Carbonate and fined for
assault and battery. After paying his
fine he returned TO st. Louis. Judge
Butler was not seriously hurt.
The real motive for the continued
assault ON Judge Butler on the ear
I is said to be an old grudge entertain
ed by Berry against Judge Butler
who. as prosecutor or Judge, had been
instrumental In sending some of Ber-
RVS relatives or friends "over the
road.
Everyone who knows Judge But
Ter knows that he has cordial, gen
lal manner, and greets those whom
he considers his friends with heart
mess that is characteristic of him
The brutal assault was objectionable
and no adequate excuse can be offer
ed for IL.

Miss Edna Mclaughlin, stenogra-
pher and assistant bookkeeper fol

that Mr.. Price signed the name or
IN. Hardin" TO the certificates II Is
on this that the government bases its
charges of fraud against Price.

demanded extra freight charges

weight certificates after the original
figures had been entered by the
partan-prica comnnnv hut which

wrote 142 books. Among the Romans,
Cicero often wrote three or four I'M

''Rab and His Friends" by DR.. John
Brown, was written, II is said. at

The story is told that Dean Shipley

Ing the hymn known all around the
world, IRON Greenland's Icy Noun

Chalmers was once asked how long II
took to prepare a sermon. He replied:
THAT depends on how long you
want it. If your sermon is to be half
an hour long, it will take you three
days; If it is to be three-quarters of nm
hour, it will take two or perhaps one,
but If you are going to preach an hour.
then there is not much occasion to

There was servant problem when
Dean Swift was alive just as there is

''Rules and Directions For Servants
he wrote: when you have broken all
your earthen vessels below stairs,
which is usually done In a week, the
copper pot will do as well. 1t can
boil milk. heat porridge, hold small
beer. Apply It indifferently to all these
uses, but never wash or scour it" And
again: III you want paper to singe a
fowl, tear the first book you see about
the house. Wipe your shoes, for want
Of a clout, on the bottom of a curtain
or a damask napkin" "In roasting
and boiling" he goes on. "use none but
the large Goals and save the small ones
for the fires above stairs" Another
touch that might have been written to-
day is the following: when a butler
cleans the plate leave the whiting
plainly to be seen In all the chinks, for
fear your lady should not believe you
had cleaned it." Once more: "There
are several ways of putting ont a
candle. You may run the candle end
against the wainscot, which puts the
snuff out Immediately; you may lay 1t
on the ground and tread the snuff out
with your foot; you may hold it up
side down until it is choked in its
