A Kansas Solomon.

It appears that Judge Ruppen-
thai, the youthful jurist who
now presides over the district
court in this district running
from Russell county west to the
Colorado line is displaying some
of the characteristics of a sol
ONION in his judgments. He is
evidently aiming at reforming
wrong doors instead of imposing
punishments that are revenge
full rather than reformatory in
their nature.
It is related that Cove county
citizen, who was somewhat given
to drinking and who was inclined
to be quarrelsome when drunk,
made too free use of knife dur
ing a quarrel some time ago as a
result of which he recently found
himself on trial in the district
court for assault. He was found
guilty and here is the sentence
imposed on him:
Imprisonment for one year in
the county Jail and to pay fine
of $500 and costs.
To give a bond of $500 to keep
the peace for two year.
To give a bond of $1,000 to alb
stain from the use of liquor and
to keep away from all places
where liquor is sold or given
away.
Upon the execution of the
bonds and the payment of the
fine and costs. the defendant
was paroled from the Jail SEN
tence, but required to appear in
court and report to the Judge on
the first day of each term of
court.
This narrowed the real pun
ishment inflicted on the culprit
down to the payment of the fine
and costs, and it leaves him free
to support his family if he has
one. At the same time the Jail
sentence is hanging over him for
one year and the bond for two
years, during which time he
must abstain from the besetting
sin that leads him into trouble
By that time he ought to have
overcome his old habits and
build up new ones of peaceand
sobriety, becoming law abiding
well-to-do citizen.
The country needs moreJudgeS
who can exercise such wisdom
and discretion in dealing with Of
tenders who may be reformed.

Dodge Republican:

Dodge Republicans: Over
month ago a stranger, probably a
mover, went into Sam Stubs
grocery to make some purchases.
He was followed to the door by a
faithful old dog. At the door the
dog modestly waited for his mas
ter to return. After making his
purchases the man left the store
by side door, escaping the tired
dog. The man got his team and
drove away, not noticing that the
dog was missing. For week the
big white dog lay at the entrance
of the store watching the door
intently. Every time any one ap-
preached the door from the inside
he was on the alert and he was
visibly disappointed when it fail
ed to be his master. At the end
of the week the dog had become
acquainted with some of the peo-
pie who pass the corner often.
Sometimes he would follow a new
made acquaintance across the
street to the other corner. but
never farther than that. Then he
would return and anxiously take
up his vigil at the grocery door.
He is still there Since the first
week he seems even less inclined
to leave the corner even to go
across the street. He makes
friends with new people every
day but no one can coax him to
leave that corner. He does not
watch the door now in the same
expectant manner as thought he
feels that his master will never
come out. Still he is even more
faithful since he has reached this
attitude. Still he is evidently de-
termined to spend the rest of his
life faithfully waiting at the door
where he disappeared. Heis only
nlold house dog, with nothing
but brute instinct to guide him,
but in loyalty and constancy one
might have a long search to find
his equal in the human family.

Here is a good sermon that is
worthy of more than a passing
thought which we clip from an
exchang: Young man, the time
given you in this life to heel
YOURSELF for the rainy day is
very brief. You have to wait
during the years of youth until
you can reach the age when you
may butt into the affairs of men,
then it isn't long until you are

HIT BY CAR, HURT

In Collision with Bergen Street Trolley
Says He Wasn't Given Time

Anton Laupheimer, go years old, of
1874 West Kinney street, a well-knowE
German resident of the Hill section,
who has been in the trucking business
for a number of years, had a narrow
escape from being seriously and per-
haps fatally hurt last night when troll
ley car No. 10S, of the Bergen street
line, collided with his truck at Bergen
street and Seventeenth avenue. He
was driving south and the car was
going in the same direction.
Laupheimer claims he failed to hear
the sound of the motorman's gong and
had not thejtime to pull out of the way
of the car. He managed, however to
clear one of the tracks and thus pre-
vented his wagon from being hit with
full force.
He was thrown from his seat and
slightly injured. Policeman Ulrich, of
the First Precinct station, ran to the
injured mans assistance, and after rem
dering first aid rode with Lamplaimer
to bis home.

niture on It was partly wrecked.

c. u. Henry Stengel of 1915 Broad street,

the prisoners in his address at the close
of Yesterdays session, when the taking OF
the testimony was over. He denied that
there was any evidence adduced to show
that his clients had stolen the brooch.
They worked for the Stengel family, and
the iewelry was the property OF the mis-
tress of the house.
The arrest OF the trio was made by De-
tective Sergeant Frank Tuite, Of head
quarters the man and wife having been

S WIN DIE RS
PASS $42
CHECK
Secure Name of Mrs. Hen
dershOt'S Grocer, and
Work Ruse on Clerk.

A clever pair of swindlers, repre-
Delineator. fashion magazine, worked
a new game on William Baldwin, who
is connected with the Boremann
Grocery Company, of 81 Pennsylvania
avenue, by means of a bogus check
on which they realized $42. The police
are now looking for the pair, who are
believed to be the same two who, with
a woman, distributed several bogus
checks in Paterson some time ago and
who were arrested there and later
jumped their bail.
A young man called at the Boremann
Grocery Company yesterday afternoon
and ordered several small articles
which took considerable time to put up.
AS he was purchasing the goods the
telephone bell rang and clerk an
swered it. In reply to questions from
the other end of the phone the clerk
said that a check from Mrs. Hender-
shot, of 1101 Broad street, was safe to
accept. The voice at the other end OF
the phone said that Mrs. Hendershot
had given him a check for $42 and ne
wanted to know if she was reliable.
The man inside, buying the small
articles, was able to judge then whether
or not the check would be cashed there,
so he went out and told his confed-
crate, who was the man that tele-
phoned The man came in and cashed
the check for s42 without dificulty.
When the Boremann people telephoned
Mrs. Hendershot she explained that
man representing himself as an agent
of the Dellneator called at her home
and agreed to send her a copy of the
magazine for year. but stipulated
that she must receive 1t through her
grocer. AS it would cost her nothing
Mrs. Hendershot told the man he
might send it. He then ascertained
from her the name of her grocer. He
sent his confederate there and made
out the bogus check on the Citizens
National Bank, of New York, payable
to bearer. It was indorsed by f. S.
