MUSIC GAINED THE COURT.

A Passing Fife and Drum Corps
Pacided an Angered Judge.
The tune Of yankee Doodle" played
on a fife and drum, once prevented
conflict between the District and Pro
bate courts in Wyandotte County. 1t
was IN the early days. The courts then
met in adjoining rooms of the old court
house. jacques w. Johnson was Judge
Of the Probate Court and Joseph Will
Jams was on the District bench
One summer morning the Probate
Judge was hearing a contest between
two women over an estate. Both wom-
eD claimed to be the wife Of the man
whose estate was IN question. The pro-
ceedings soon took the form of quar-
rel between the parties and their at
torneys. The noise disturbed the Dis
trict court.
"Nfr. Sheriff" said the District Judge,
"tell that Probate Judge if he does not
keep better order l will cite him for
contempt"
noise continued A few minutes after
he returned and this was the message
he brought:
".Tell that judge | do not recognize
his authority to interfere in the affairs
of my court, and if he does | will send
him to jail for thirty days"
The lawyers sat up straight In their
cane-bottom chairs, for they expected to
see a clash between the judges. The
judges face flushed with anger. At
this juncture a party of boys passed by
the building playing Yankee Doodle
on flies and drums.
The judge listened a while and then
said, Courts adjourned until tp-mor-
row morning" and he grabbed his hat
and ran out after the drum corps. Thus
the charm Of music prevented a CLASH
of judicial uthority.-kansas City

THE HARVEST MOON.


Its Brightness Enables Farmers 10
Gather Their Crops During Night.
September is 1.-THE month Of moon
light" Poets and impressionists at that
season of the year, have, from time i'm
memorial, flooded the world with har-
vest-moon imagery. Pictures of moon
light lovers stroIling along moonlit
lanes, rowing on moonlit rivers, in
moonlit boats, moonlight cleaners and
the harvest home have been painted
over and over again in word and color,
but the why and wherefore of the extra
ordinary brilliance of the Queen Of the
Night during the period that she Is
known as the harvest moon" has been
completely lost sight Of by the great
majority.
Those who observe the ordinary as
economical phenomena Of daily occur
renee are familiar with the time varia-
lions In the moons rising and settling.
This is due to the direction of the
moons apparent path with reference to
the horizon, of whateyer place it is
viewed from. It's distance from the
earth and it's daily motion eastward in
right ascension.
For the first few days in every lunar
month the moon rises or sets twenty
three or twenty four minutes later for
three or four successive evenings, after
which the retardation varies from that
time to an hour and seventeen minutes,
and sometimes more.
In the latitude Of New York the max
imum retardatiOn is seventy-seven min
utes and the minimum is twenty-three.
When the retardation is a minimum
at the time Of the full moon, the light
is very powerful, and farmers have
often taken advantage OF the practical
~ all-night brilliancy for several days,
to harvest their grain. September 81
being the autumnal equinox and the
full moon occurring nearest that date
being usually in the height Of harvest
time, it is called the harvest-moOn.
To understand the action Of the
causes which produce this phenomenon
it is necessary to remember that at the
time of the autumnal equinox the sun
sets exactly in the west, and the south
ern half of the ecliptic, or the suns
apparent annual path in the sky, will
then be wholly above the horizon and
the northern half entirely below; the
ecliptic, therefore, making the least pos
sible angle with the horizon.
In high northern latitude as in Alas
ka, British Columbia, Norway and
Sweden, and the north Of Scotland the
moons path at such times is almost
parallel with the horizon, and for more
than a week she rises at very nearly
the same time, giving the farmers am
pie light and time to garner their crops.

Strenuous Lie Dangerous.

A warning is uttered by the Practi-
toner against the dangers Of the siren
uous life. 1t is good to be strenuous, it
is averred, but It is also good, as the
poet tells us, to play the fool or, at
any rate, to be idle at the right time
and in the right way. This is just what
the strenuous man forgets and the con-
sequence is too often premature break
down-a common event in the storm
and stress Of modern life. The strenu-
Gus life is helping to Overcrowd our
asylums. We need to learn the incalcu-
liable value cf rest. This consists, not
in a change Of excitement or in hard
work disguised as a game, but in genu-
Inc repose. A man who knows how to
rest from labor will live longer and ac-
complish more than one who allows the
fever of strenuous living to fret his
mind and body to premature decay.

PANAMA is RICH IN RUBBER.
Interesting Method Employed I'm
Saving the Valuable Product.


Saving the Valuable Product.
Rubber plantations may become an
important element in the industrial
life Of Panama. The rubber tree
thrives we'll on the isthmus. The pro-
ductive life Of this tree is twenty-five
years, it is indigenous to the country
and IS found growing wild on both
coasts Of the republic. 1t will not
stand high winds, SO windbreaks, either
natural or artificial, must be provided
1t requires q well-drained, rich, lOamy
soil that will give plenty Of moisture
during the dry season and not contain
stagnant water or be sOggy during the
wet season.
The rubber is obtained by making an
incision into the bark of the tree.
From the opening flows a light yellow,
viscid liquid containing from 81 to A
per cent of pure rubber. When subjected
to heat this liquid evaporates, leaving
the rubber as a residue. The rubber
tree is generally tapped when it is
eight years old. Tappings made in April
and November seem to give the best
results. From twenty to twenty five
trees can be tapped in day, but the
work must be done in careful and
systematic manner The most favored
method on the isthmus is to make two
or three Y or rectangularshap Incl
siOns in the lower part of the trunk
and allow the sap to flow into earthen
vessels, from which it is poured into
il barrel and a solution of five ounces
of chloride of SubcarbOnate of sodium
is added, with sufficient wafer to cover.
1t is stirred frequently for twenty
four to thirty-s hours, when the
water is drawn off by means of a fau-
Get in the bottom of the barrel. This
operation separates the rubber and is
repeated until the product turns white.
The number Of rubber trees in Pana-
ma is estimated at 550,000 which does
not include 100000 trees growing wild
in the dense forests of Veraguas prov
ince. The india rubber exports from
Panama to foreign countries during the
year 1905 were estimated at 10000
pounds, valued at $SS,00O gold. The
total shipped from Colon to the United
States during the same period was
estimated at 10000 pounds, valued at
$4,000 gold.

Albert Sidney Johnston.

OF all truly great Americans, least
is personally known of the chieftain
who fell at Shiloh, and whose fall be-
gan the series of fatalities which at
tended the Confederacy to the end,
seeming to show that Providence was
on the side of the Union.
Though Kentucky born, Albert Sid
ney Johnston came of the Oldest and
best New England stock. Not less
than Robert E. Lee he was the ideal
Christian soldier, not less than Lee
a master of the art of war. Had
he lived his fame would not have been
eclipsed by that of Lee; even more
than that of Lee, it belongs as a her
itage both to the North and to the
South.
Johnston was the rose and expect
ancy of the young Confederacy, as he
had been of the young Republic of
Texas. whose army be commanded.
He looked the Cavalier. He seemed
born to the purple of the patrician. But
his forebears were Yankee to their
bootheels, mariners, scholars and
fighters of the old Connecticut line
Intellectually he was the South's first
man when the trial came, and, had
he been spared. this would have re-
vealed itself conclusively, and equal.
