French tawny cloth as should make

to be made. John brakes, shoe
maker, coming to this tailor's and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make 1t
Of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John Dpakes', the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes

"soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed

Our life is but soap bubble hang
ing from reed; it is formed, expands
to its full size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
gravitation; but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind 1t nothing but simple drop
Of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it is SO strik-

to disappear; to be born. to suffer and

Superior Court Has Power

Olympia. Wash, April 29-The supreme court today decided the case of Chester Thompson in favor of the prosecution, which is trying to have the slayer of Judge G. M. Emory con- fined as a dangerous insane person. The court holds that the superior court of Pierce county, which tried Thompson for murder, has power to dispose of the prisoner.
 This leaves Judge Shell authority to liberate Thompson or to entrust him to relatives and friends under bonds that they exercise due diligence to restrain him from violence, or to order his in- definite confinement in the peniten- tiary, county jail or asylum for the in- sane.
 Judge Shell has taken the matter under advisement for a week.
