LAW NOT FOR UNCLESAMO ONLY
Such is Sharp Reminder of Judge Munger
to Attorre7 nth,
GOVERNMENT GETS NO ADVANTAGE
VIII BE Treated No BETTER and
No Worse Than the Defense
in the Big Land
Case.

Judge Munger of the federal court, re-
garded as one of the most patient and
temperate judges, yesterday interrupted
the haggling of Attorney Rush for the
government and Hall for the cattlemen
in the big land trial with this admonltion:
mr. Rush, the rules of law are not ex-
elusive to the government. The govern
ment shall have no preference here over
anyone else. The rules Of law are for both
parties, not for one party. The govern
ment will be treated in this case the same
as the other party, neither better or
worse"
The entire afternoon was devoted TO
the examination Of witnesses living in
Sheridan, Cherry and Box Butte counties
to prove the extent Of the Spade ranch
enclosure by persons living in the vicinity
of the ranch during the years 1904 and
1906 The witnesses testifying were
James T. Margrave John F. Barton, Allan
Light and Patrick Donahue. These wit
nesses were all ranch and cattlemen
The question of permitting the map
showing the range, township and section
lines to go into evidence was repeatedly
objected TO by the defense. Frequent ami
mated disputes took place between At
torneys Rush for the government and Hall
for the defense on technical points and
rules Of evidence, with an occasional ad-
monition by the court
witness Gets Confused.
These was a dreary monotony OF same
ness in all Of Fridays testimony, broken
only by an occasional burst Of humor on
the part Of a confused witness who hardly

the stereotyped objected TO as inmate
rial, irrelevant and no proper foundation
being laid and having no bearing on this
case or either Of the defendants"
Then the question would have TO be
read over again and the witness would
have 70 appeal to the Judge with the plea,

In the various missions and in
Robert College beside the Bosphorus,
in q land where the word selibertyo is
blacked out of the newspapers by the
censor, this was and is favorite song,
and its singing has brought tears to
the eyes OF more than one American
visitor. America was not their country,
save by that faith which makes the
New Jerusalem the country OF the
faithful, and causes the Lord to say
in Zion OF many whose birthplace 10
remote, This one was born there"
And 90 the orphans made their gift.
The missions furnished the silk, bat
the work was all done by the orphans,
and was a labor Of love.
There are flags in the national
Capitol that were captured in war,
aAd which hang there as emblems OF
valor and conquest. But among them
all there is not one that tells a tale
more replete with interest than the
flag which represents the gift of the
Armenian orphans of Harpoot. 1t is
the trophy Of faith that was faithful
unto death, of gratitude that made
lavish return, and of a conquest of
hearts through kindness. Youths

Minerva Of the Kettles

A happy solution of the servant-girl
question May evolve itself from the
manual training school connected
with the New York Juvenile Asylum,
the majority of whose charges are the
children of immigrants. In the
dining-room some of the older girls
wait on the table, and young hands
do the work in the kitchen below. A
description of the institution in the
Metropolitan Magazine contains the
following illustration of the wisdom
of the young pupils:
each pupil is put through an exact
training in preparing the food and
serving it. Lists of food classified
according to diet value are memorized
from neat copy-books IN which have
been entered tried receipts. The
little maids are greatly in demand,
and are often more proficient in
culinary science than their older
mistresses.
One girl who was sent into the home
of q family in the country was request
ed to prepare certain dish for tea.
II am afraid it would not be ap.
propriate," the youthful Minerva OF
the pots and kettles ventured. sit is
more proper for breakfast, it requires
such awfully long digestion. y

Money Value Of PoIIteness.

The attitude of too many public
servitors seems to be one of hostility
toward the public. Manifest indispo
sition to answer perfectly proper
questions is shown. Such defects OF
character are almost certain to bar
the way to advancement in any call
ing. Superior ability may bring high
degree of success without any grace
or suavity of manner, but the majority
OF employees do not possess exception
al talents and must rise by energy, in
tegrity and a pleasing personality
This last-named quality more thar any
other explains the rise Of certain per
sons to high estate. Very ordinary
men have smiled their way to honors
and fortune. A cheerful, friendly per
son may pass for something much bet
ter than he really is, SO great is the
value which the world sets upon good
nature.

THE FACE ON THE CENT
II IS Not That Of an indian, But Of a Pretty
gI 81 Little Girl.

Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen, who
lived and died in Philadelphia, was
the queen OF the American mint.
With the exception Of Queen Victoria,
whose image was engraved on every
coin Of the British and Indian empires
Mrs. Keen was frst in the number d
her metal photographs. Her face ~ .
girl of twelve summers was TO be seen
on every American cent issued since
1886 from Uncle Sans coin factory.
1t is usually assumed that the face
on the head side of the copper is that
of an Indian, but close look will
reveal Saxon profile. Just borrow a
cent and look at it. The setting is
that of an Indian.
Between 1923 and 1910 James Barton
Longacre was chief engraver in the
United States Mint in Philadelphia.
In 1885 a competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was TO be issued, and
which has since been in service.
There were over thousand designs
offered. The prize was good one.
Longacre racked his brain for some
original and singular design that
would strike the judges, but for
months he failed to satisfy himself.
One morning a number of Indians,
with their chief, who had been to pay
their respects to the great white chief
in Washington, came to the city, and
were shown through the mint. They
were introduced to the white chiefs
ricture-maker, who was just then
showing his young daughter Sarah
the great concern. The old chief was
attracted by the sweet-faced maiden,
and her interest in his feathers and
paint. She childishly wondered how
she would look in the feathered head
gear. This was told the chief, who
solemnly Invested himself of his
feathers and had them placed On the
girls head. The effect was SO striking
that the father took time to make .
sketch of the picture, finishing it
afterward for his own amusement.
At the last moment of the period
given for sending in engravings he
bethought himself of the possibility
of the combination of Indian feathers
and Saxon sweetness. He got it in,
and much sport was made of the child
at the time in the city because of the
incident. The sketch passed through
the seventh sitting, and finally reached
the last round. By one vote it won,
and ever since Sarah Longacre's
young face has served for the humbl-
est of coins, than which no single
coin in the world has such tremendous

A BIRDS BALLROOM.

Where the Cock O. the Rock Performs
Like the WhirIing Dervish.
Dancing is by no means confined to
quadrupeds. A writer in the Strand
says that it is the principal play OF
many birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers
is the South American cock o. the
rock. These birds have regular dane
Ing places, level spots which they keep
clear of sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the birds assem-.
BILE around this spot, and then a cock
bird, his scarlet crest erect, steps into
the center. Spreading his wings and
tail, he begins to dance, at first with
slow and stately steps, then gradually
more and more rapidly until he is
spinning like mad thing. At last,
tired ont, he sinks down. hops out Of
the ring and another takes his place.
Some OF the quail tribe are great
dancers, and SO are the American
sand hill eranes. II is a most ludic-
rous sight to watch crane dancing;
he is 90 desperately solemn over the
whole performance. He looks like 2
shy young man who has Just learned
to waltz and is rather ashamed Of the
accomplishment.

A CONTRAST
A Safe Country.

The Vanguard pictures Iceland as q
whole land for prohibition. About
half the size of Missouri, it haS "no
Jail, no penitentiary; there is no court,
and only one policeman. Not drop
of alcoholic liquor is made on the
island, and its $4,000 people are total
abstainers, since they will not permit
any liquor to be imported.
There is not an illiterate on the
island, not child 10 years old unable
to read, the system of public schools
being practically perfect. There are
special seminaries, and a printing
establishment which every year
publishes number of excellent books
on various lines"
Such is the report brought by
Northern travellers of this incompara.
BILE and ideal land. 1t speaks with a
mighty voice for prohibition.

The Orphans Mite

In the diplomatic ante-roe of the
Department of State at Washington
hangs rich silk Oriental rug, worth
several hundred dollars, the gift Of
penniless orphans to the rich govern
ment of the United States. 1t was re-
ceived near the end of the year 1905,
and accorded place of honor. 1t is a
gift fit for king, for it is of silk,
warp. wool and knots, is double-faced,
with rich nap on both sides, is nearly
three yards long and four feet wide,
and it's two million knots were tied
by hand.
1t would have required nearly two
years. time for a single rug-maker to
have made it, and it occupied three
months with an average of more than
six workers, knotting each thread into
the warp and wool after the method of
the Oriental rug-maker. The pattern
of the rug is that of a United States
flag. A skilled worker knotted in the
following inscription:
Presented in gratitude to the
United States Government by the
Armenian Orphans of Harpoot,
Turkey"
After the Armenian massacres there
were large numbers of Christian
orphans, left without home or friends,
who were gathered into the missions
in different places and fed and clothed
and taught. The cost of their main
tenance was born by friends in
America who felt the peculiar obliga-
ton of caring for the children of
Christians who had died for their
faith. Many of these orphans are
now we'll grown, and have been taught
rug-making as a means of earning a
living.
Among them it has been a frequent
question how they could in some way
make known their gratitude to the
people who took them in their dis
tress and furnished them shelter, pro-
lection and an education. To send
any adequate testimonial to each in
dividual who had helped them was
impossible, and formal letters of
thanks were not enough. Moreover,
they felt that in very real sense the
whole nation had been their protector.
Its flag had been over the missions, "a
symbol OF freedom and OF hope. To
Its shelter they had fed, and beneath
it they had been secure. They had
learned 10 sing of land they had
mover seen:
my country, tits Of thee,
Sweet land Of liberty,
OF thee / sing!"
