1t is perhaps in order to say just this
much more regarding Lincoln county's
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair:
Several weeks notice was given that
the County Court would be asked to
make the appropriation. At the De-
cember term the Lincoln County Board
of Trade and other citizens verbally
petitioned the Court to appropriate a
certain amount for the exhibit. The
Court wouldn't do it. Then a strong
petition was fired at the Court. The
Court yielded, for the very good reason
that not one little petition in remon-
STRANGE was fled This is the whole
story.

A Consi Ierate Judge.

Rarely does judge show hesitancy
in the court room, or a disposition to
change his mind when he has once
publicly expressed it; but an account
of a refreshing exception is furnished
by Sir Henry Hawkins, Lord Bramp-
ton, the eminent English justice, in
recent book of "reminiscences.
Baron Martin, whose native leniency
and sense of fun often placed him at
the mercy of the very men he was try
ing, was once about TO sentence an
old offender, charged with a petty
theft.
Look" said the baron, with an as
sumption of severity, Il hardly know
what to do, but you can TAX six
months"
II can't take that, my lord; it's too
much,' said the prisoner, respect
fully but firmly. 81 can't take 1t.
Your lordship sees 1 didn't steal very
much, after ALL"
The baron INDUCED in one of his
low. chuckling laughs before replying.
"Well, that's vera true; We didn't
steal much" he said "Well, then,
We can TAX four months. Will that
do-four months?'
"Nay, Nv lord. but can't take that,
neither, s.il the witness, patiently.
"Then tax three"
That's nearer the mark. my lord. -
the prisoner said, approvingly but
I'd rather you made it two, if you will
be so kind
"Vera well, then, TAX two" said
the judge, with the air of one who is
pleased to have done the right thing
at last. "And, mind, don't come again

Other old-timers have tales like this
to tell. One of them gave this as his
explanation of the peculiar persistency
which keeps the frightened animals
between the rails. II think it's sort
of hypnotism caused by the combna-
ton of fright, the straight level of the
track and the cleaning lines of the

Why Frightened Animals Almost In
variably Keep Between the Rails.
Railroad men at Rochester, y. Y,
are still talking about the race for
life on a recent Sunday morning be-
tween a horse and a freight train
across the long bridge which spans the
Genesee River at Charlotte. The bridge
is nearly half mile long, and the ties
are open. leaving siX-inch spaces, be-
meath which CLEANS the slow-moving
river, but the horse galloped straight
across this nerve-racking path few
yards in front of the locomotive. and
only sank down when exhausted by
fright and its efforts for safety. The
train was halted within ten yards of
the poor creature. The horse was
found to be uninjured, but every shoe
was torn from its foot. Another horse
which had started with it fell and was
cut to pieces.
What interests the railroad men in
the case, besides the battle against
such odds, is that it furnishes another
proof of pet theory Of theirs con-
corning the actions of animals caught
on the tracks by fast speeding trains
Engineers and firemen have formu-
lated a theory which, they declare, has
been so often proved that it might be

then these critics were wont to
shake their respective heads in proph-

qualities were undeniably and truly

Inheriting moderate fortune from
his father, young Stuart had set to
work to expand this moderate inherit

day

not altogether a marriage of conven-

there was little romance in the feel

Miss Livingstone was a beauty of

worldly advantages which a marriage
with Clayton Stuart would offer could
not help but have their weight with q
