ATTEMPT TO TAKE BOY
FROM HUMBOLDT SCHOOL
Divorced Parents Try to Obtain Pos
session of Son Formerly Award
ed to the Mother

Considerable excitement among the
children assembled in the yard of the
Humboldt School was caused yester-
day by the frantic efforts of Gertrude
King and her divorced husband TO
obtain possession of their 12-year- DID
boy. The couple was divorced several
years ago in Yuba County and the
mother was awarded the custody of
the infant.
Recently the mother brought suit
for failure to provide alimony and it
is believed that the father retaliated
by attempting to recover possession Of
the boy. To do this he enlisted the
services of deputy sheriff and pro-
ceeded to the school.
In the meantime the. mother learned
of the maneuver and both parents ar
rived simultaneously. Each grabbed
the boy and the tug of war that re-
suited was stopped by the principal.
Miss Elizabeth Kelly, who resolutely
declined to let the child be taken
away. During the argument Deputy
superintendent Deasy arrived and
Judiciously ended the strife by advising
both parents to consult lawyer.

HINTS FOR THE DAIRY.

Wasteful feeding may mean too much or too little.
 Always skim sweet milk; never let cream thicken.
 Cows should be milked with dry hands and the udders should be washed clean.
 Provide a milking stool with a bot tom to set the pail on for the boy. Don't expect him to hold the pail between his legs.
 Improved machinery improves every industry. The dairy COW is the most im- portant of the machinery connected with the dairy.
 Cream is a very perishable article and must be kept under the most favor able conditions if good butter is to be made out of it
 A Missouri writer says: Missouri has sgo. o.o0O dairy COWS. and has sum- shine. water. grass and feed enough to support 10.o0O. .0Oo COWS"
 Any farmer that has ten or more COWS should have a silo unless he is selling his milk to some company that refuses to take milk made out of silage.

The truth Of a coLoquy said to have taken
place in the Court of Appeals Of New-York be-
tween the Chief Justice and an attorney Is
easier TO believe than some Of the other stories,
frequently heard, mainly because the sarcasm
came from the court Upon the closing OF we
argument of the appellants counsei tns ClIS1
Justice remarked. after whispering 20 hls Coz
league:
necessary to hear anything from your slde, as
we have decided the case in your favor.
The attorney however, not being satisfied
pleaded that he had taken great deal OF time
in preparing his argument and declared that MS
client would not be satisfied unless ne said some
thing, and the Chief Justice finally said some
what tcily
Very well, Mr. X, we viii hear briefly what
you have TO say"
At the end OF the argument the Chief Justice
again remarked:
We'll, Mr.. Y. the court is still inclined TO de-
eide in your favo1, in spite of your argument.
A justice Of the peace in the western part OF
New-York. being TO judicial honors and
having a somewhat exalted opinion OF his own
Importance and knowledge OF the law, took
cCgnizance of a divorce suit and had the tensrt-
ty to bring the defendant before him in answer
to a summons. The defendant appeared with his
attorney. who demonstrated with the justice.
You have legal power TO try divorces

CogniZa BILE in a court of equity. Why. ne finally
exclaimed, somewhat out Of patience, you can

The judicial ire was aroused and tbs justice
bristled up:

see whether can Of not"
Whereupon he proceeded to try the case so
far as the plaintiff went, but how he was finally
| convinced that the judgment was void alb inido
history sayeth not.
Although II is not often that the integrity OF
judges, particularly of the higher courts Is
called in question there is sarcastic rhetorical
paradox which is old enough TO be respectable
and which goes:

SARCASM IN COURT.
Hozc Larcycrs Try to "Get EOe"
zcith Judges.

Stories are often told of the sarcastic shafts
NJ wit which lawyers have shot in the directloh
of the bench when driven to resentment tex
cusabIy or otherwise by rulings which they
considered unwarranted, but it is suspected
that the yarns. however good as stories are
heard much oftener outside than inside the
courtroom They are invariably coupled with
TN. names of leaders of the bar as, of course,
in any other connection they would sound alto
gether too improba to be even good stories
While judges not infrequently indulge in re-
marks in reference to the attorneys appearing
before them that are not to be found in any
code on diplomacy, they can do this with I'M
punfty from their impregnable fortress Of judi
cial position. When member Of the bar, now
ever. attempts to free his mind regarding an act
of Judge although it may be the result OF
the grossest prejudice or even ignorance on the
Judges part the attorney is at great dlsad-
vantage He stands il the open. and IS naoie
to receive a shot of judicial wrath as heavy as
the protectiles from the 13-inch guns on battle
ships which, in the vocabulary of the navy
annear to be termed railroad trains"
Woe be unto the attorney who attempts to
shoot back He only brings heavier guns upon
his unprotected position. For this reason it Is
only leaders of the bar-men who stand high

in the community. so high in fact. that in gen
eral estimation they command greater respect
than the judges themselves plus their robes OF
offfce-who dare release these shafts OF wit In
the direction Of the bench. Therefore the stories
Of the character here referred to are coupled
with the names of the bright lights Of the pro-
fesson who chance TO be such in the geograph-
icaI location Of the teller of the story.
Thus the name of Joseph H Choate has been
used in connection with one Of the lesser courts
in New-York City in the story Of the lawyer
who was called to order for some derogatory re-
marks addressed TO the bench in the following
manner:
Mr.. Choate you are showing your contempt
for the court"
Whereupon Mr.. Choate replied:
"On the contrary your honor, am doing my
best to conceal it,
story is told of an attorney in the western
part of Pennsylvania who. when the judge ap-
parentIy took sides with the defendant (his op-
ponent), remarked:
"I should like to ask and have it noted on the
record for the purpose Of having it complete
what other counsel appears for the defendant
besides the presiding Judge?
To the same counsel is ascribed another re-
mark Of a somewhat similar nature. He ap-
peared for the defendant. and the court in the
attorneys opinion at least. seemed TO have con-
stantIy favored his opponent. and in charging
the jury the judge had all but told them to bring
In a verdict for the plaintiff. The jury, how
ever disregarded the judges opinion and
brought in q verdict for the defendant The
Judge was obviously annoyed, and made some
remarks disparaging TO the jury, whereupon the
plaintiffs counsel said:
Pardon me- your honor, but this case was Of
very little Importance, and 1 trust you will not
take the losing of it too much to heart
The caustic remark Of an attorney IN an ap-
peIlate tribunal suggesting that the court was
making statutes instead Of constituting or fol-
lowing those already enacted is credited TO
several well known lawyers. and has generallS
taken the following form: ,
