JUDGE LINDSEY AIDS LAD.

1 came to work for you"
Two years ago Judge Ben. B. Lind
sey was interrupted at his work by
a boyish voice. Looking up, he saw
a youngster with a shock of bright
red hair and mirthful blue eyes. He
was wearing knee pants and for mo-
ment the judge wondered what the
small fellow could do. The vermiIion
crown appealed to him.
So Jay Bacon was kept in the juve-
nile court and given a chance to ad-
vance. First he was made a sort of
messenger boy and handy Andy" for
everyone. He was given the dignifed
title of clerk, but the young man is
authority for the statement that he
frequently did many services beneath
the dignity of his title
He had studied stenography at
home with his stepfather, D. H. Col
burn, who is one of the probation
officers, and his first attempt at TAX
ing dictation from Judge Lindsey con-
Vinced the latter that his clerk could
hold his own.
Then Judge Lindsey was appointed
judge Of the new juvenile court. Un-
der the statute creating the court he
was to name a stenOgrapher at a sal.
ary of $4,000 a year, almost as much
as stenOgraphers to district judges re-
ceiVe. The next promotion had come
to Jay Bacon. for without considering
any other applicant Judge Lindsey
appointed him to the place.

for his health. It's the granger's coin
he Is after, and he will ram just as
much of it down his jeans as his own
nerve and brass, coupled with his vic
TINS gullibility, make possible. He
usually does the most business in dis
tricts far removed from the nursery
he represents, where he and his house
are little known. In addition to being
guilty of palming off on his unsuspect-
ing customers trees and shrubs that he
positively knows will not grow in the
latitude where he offers them for sale,
he often sells apple, plum and other
trees that are not at all true to name,
a fraud that it may take years for the

Der of rank frauds of this general type
that have come under our notice we
are convinced that the only safe courJe
to pursue is to give these fellows Il
wide berth. They regard neither God,
man nor the devil, much less their I'M
sophisticated would be victim. 1t is,
as rule, true that it usually costs peo-
pie who get swindled by these fellows,
even if there are good grounds for
damages, more to recover what they
have lost than the amount involved in
the swindle. II these fellows should

you really must have an order of fruit

IF looks count for anything, Mis-

some Of the representatives being
published in the Commercial Appeal.
The majority OF them appear to be
about the sorriest and cheapest look
ing set of pig-headS that ever raj and
got elected to an office. If the origi-
mails look anything like the published
pictures, we don't believe they could
fill an alderman's place in a worn cut,
run down country village, and how
some of them managed to get any
votes is something too deep to pry in
to. If they happened to be sorry and
cheap looking, Of course, they can't
help it, but they could have kept
from running for an office, and, by all
means, could have kept their mugs
out OF the papers.

Henry Watterson Is not altogether
correct in declaring that party lines
have ceased to exist in the United
States, BUTT must be admitted that
the demarkations are fainter than
ever before in our country's history.

the time approaches for the selection

that, unless some remarkable changes

tial election"
The ABOVE clipping from the News
is but kindred statements to those
being made throughout the country
and only goes to prove the breaking Of
old party lines in both the the old

little difference in what Bryan ad-

We have for years past noticed one
very undesirable feature in the attend
ance OF the public school in the high
er grade, viz: There are, as a rule,
many more girls attending than boys.
Why is this? Where are the boys?
They leave school, many of them, in
their early or middle teens as soon as
he is able to get a position as clerk in
some store or Office under the i'm
preston that they are wasting time
by remaining in school longer. The
average boy thinks that il he gets
some business position that will en-
able him to earn a few dollars a
month, and that looks towards his
final occupation in life. while his
claSSmate sticks to school three or
four years longer, he has just so many
years the start Of his companion who
remains in school. Now the real
facts in the case are that the re-
verse of this is the truth. The boy
who remains in school and acquires a
thorough education lays a foundation
that will surely, other things being
equal, enable him to surpaSs his class
mate, who left school three or four
years earlier.
