Tho Defendant Argues IN c. -
fore the supreme ceure.

washfugtou Senator pAtt0eDo0 e
| Colorado began an argument In his
| own behalf In the Supreme Court Of
| Tho United States on tho 9Th on the
contempt case brought against him BY
| tba supreme Court OF Colorado. The
cas-. grows out OF structures on tho
court made by Senator Patterson In his
two Denver papers. the News and the
| Times.
| The case grows out Of reflections by
Mr.. Patterson's papers on the decision
OF the state court In the Colorado cleo
,ior cases OF 1904, In which the court
WAS accused of revolutionary and par.
tisan conduct. He dterward 5usti-
gcd these statements as witnesses In
| the facts. and he repeated this nsser-
tiou TO tho federal Supreme Court.
Tn, state court imposed hnc OF $1..
600.
before outlining his case. Patterson
explained that It was impossible for
o, Governor Thomas or Senator Teller
10 be present this afternoon to make
arrument. the latter being detained in
another court to testify In behalf OF
former Land. Commissioner Hermann.
who is on trial for destroying. public
records.
terson reviewed his case from the time
the Objectionable articles were pub
lIshed up to the imposition of the flne
Of 81 900. He cited four reasons why.
in his opinion. the Colorado court had
no Jurisdiction over his case. Two
were on technical grounds. tho third
alleged that the articles dealt with
grave public questions and did not i'm
pugu the integrity OF the court. and In
the fourth, he stated. his articles were
true, and declared no man could be
righttully punished under our govern
meut for speaking the truth.
in answer TO questions from the
herch. Patterson gave his ideas as to
the liberties of press in criticising
courts and then In Justification Of his
publications gave his version of the
action OF the courts at the time OF the
election OF 1904. He declared that the
court, at the request OF the Republican
state chairman. had issued injunctions
and appointed officials TO supervise the
elections: that contempt proceedings
begun after the election resulted In the
imprisonment and fining OF thirty
men.
He said that returns from ten Dem
ocrstic precincts were thrown out.
thus defeating more than twenty Dem
ocIutic candidates who had been
elected by majorities ranging from 200
to 1900. and all this without giving
the men affected an opportunity to bo
heard.
The court appears to show unusual
interest In the case.

Mari ] B. EDDY
HER SON SUES FOR A RECEIVER
FOR ESTATE.
SAYS she is DECEIVED
Dy Her Advisers Who Arc Taking Ad.
vantage Of Her Age for Their
Financial Advantage.


Concord, N. H.-A bill in equity to
secure an accounting of the financial
affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker-Glover-
Eddy, head of the Christian Science
Church, has been filed in the Superior
Court for Merrimac county. by Mrs.
Eddy's son. George w. Glover of Dead
wood, South Dakota. and his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Baker-Glover. and George
W. Baker OF Bangor. Maine. nephew
and next friend" Of Mrs. Eddy.
The bill is directed against Alfred
Farlow and other trustees OF the Chris
tian Science Church in Boston; Calvin
A. Frye. Mrs. Eddy's secretary; Lewis
o. Strang, her assistant secretary. and
Herman S. Herring. first reader OF the
church in Concord.
Besides demanding an accounting OF
all transactions regarding Mrs. Eddys
affairs. the bill asks for restitution in
case any wrong-doing appears; for In
junction during the litigation against
interference with her property and
business, and for receiver.
In a statement issued tonight by Tor
mer United States Senator William h
Chandler. special counsel in the action,
It is declared Mr.. Glover is actuated
by no spirit OF disrespect TO his mother
but believes that the proceeding is in
her real interest
Mr.. Glover says that the action is
not directed against the religion oi
the Christian Scientists. The state
ment further declares that Mr.. Glover
had long thought his mother was grow
ing too feeble In body and mind TO at
tend to important business matters.
but that for long time he was unable
to confirm this suspicion because those
about her seemed unwilling TO allow
even her nearest relatives to have an
interview long enough TO reveal her
actual condition.
Early in January. Il Is said. Mr..
Glover. during q visit to Concord. was
enabled TO have a short talk with his
mother. and after due consideration be
decided on the present action as an
imperative duty too long neglected.
Specifically the bill alleges that the
nominal plaintiff. Mrs. Eddy. who sues
..by her next friend has for 4 long
time been incompetent TO do business
or understand transactions conducted
In her name. The next allegation Il
that the defendants have possessed
themselves of her personal property /
and have carried on her business.
II is also alleged that. having done /
this. knowing Of her inhrlity, they /
have become trustees for nearly al o. |
her property which has cone !-to her
possession. and are bound 20 give &C
count thereof and Of all transactions II

I, is declared that there IS reason 70

converted some OF her property %

KNOW how to use money when he gets it,"
80 hiram received seventy dollars for his
work that summer, and in the fall he went
TO hive with Miss Fanny Gregg, a maiden
lady OF sixty, agreeing to work for his board,
IL allowed to attend school.
Miss Gregg was somewhat eccentric person
herself, and the villagers said that "two queer
ones hau met when Hiram went to live
with her; but her eccentricity was valuable
to hiram, for she gave him sympathy and
encouragement in his fixed determination to
'-be somebody"
He spent twenty of his hard-earned dollars
for the first whole suit OF new clothes he had
ever owned in his life, and he felt his self.
respect rise good many degrees when he
arrayed himself in his purchase and started
off to school with a satchel Miss Fanny had
made for him, filled with the first new books
he had ever had.
The remainder of his money had been
given into Miss Greggs keeping, but Hiram
had well-de6ned idea of what he intended
doing with it and the savings he intended
adding to it.
,Decently dressed, he did not look nor act
like the Hiram the villagers had aiways
known, but he still had an original way of
speaking and acting that distinguished him
from other boys, and the villagers still thought
him queer"
Some of his teachers began to see in him a
degree of shrewdness and keenness of per-
ception unnoticed by others.
The second summer he demanded and re-
ceived fifteen dollars per month of Farmer
with Miss Gregg and attended school.
In the spring the town fooP' announced
his intention of going West to seek his for
tune, and the villagers shook their heads and
prophesied all sorts of disaster as the result of
such a venture.
"You'd better stay here, Hi, and try to get
you a little piece Of ground, and settle down
to farming" eounseled Mr.. Gerrish. But to,
his wife he said "The boy hasn't wit enough
to go off among strangers that way. He'd
better stay here among his friends"
But Hiram put his few belongings into n
satchel and departed-"to come to no good

human misery was something he had not yet
heard Of
His odds and ends of cast-off clothing could
not but give him singular appearance. Ills
short, and sometimes his boots were not
mates; but he would even turn this mortifylng
fact into Joke
If fellow can't have what he wants it's
good idea to be satisfied with what he can
get, was one of Hiram's favorite sayings:
lie was boy of fourteen when he hrst
neard the words applied to him that form the
title of this story.
He had gone down to one of the village
stores one evening to get pound of soda for
Farmer Gerr1sh's wife, with whom he was
staying that winter.
The soda had been given to him, and he had
started to leave the store, but had stopped
near the door to look at the things in the
showcase, when he heard a stranger at the
other end of the store say In low tone to
the village merchant:
"Well, it's a pity that boy couldn't add to
the variety of his clothes. Does the town
hire him to wear out its old duds, and who is
he anyhow"
"Oh, him." Hiram heard the village mer-
chant chan Say. say. s sneeringy an, Hes sort. sort Of :.
works around for his keep. / guess he amt
,gct any more sense than the law allows
him"
Had any one met Hiram hurrying home
with bowed mead, feW moments later, he
might not have greeted them with his usual
smile and CHEEKY words, for his face wore
fierce, determined look and his cheeks were
wet with something that was not melted
flakes of flying snow falling on his hot face
The wind blew keenly through his thin, i'll
fitting garments, but every drop of blood in
his body seemed boiling
"I'll show em who's their town fool! I'll
show 'em!" he said, again and again. Fool
if l do wear their old duds now and work for
my keep. l earn all get, and they know it.
IN show 'em!"
The next day at school he was the same
smiling good d-natured boy he had always
been; but his lessons were unusually well
learned and he was less mischivous in
school.
He had never been known to be rude or
saucy to his teachers, and some of them, be-
lieving what they had heard about him, ac-
cepted his good behavior and unusual cour-
tesy as evidence of the fact that he had not
wit enough to be as bad as some of the seem
ingIy brighter boys.
They never saw beneath the surface of his
nature, and, like some other boys, Hiram hid
his strong points and revealed the weak
ones.

Meanwhile, the boys who had gone to school
with Hiram, and who had laughed at what
they were pleased to call his "greenness-
these boys, most of them, grew to be men,
and left the school to engage in various occu-
pations.
The most successful one of them all be
came clerk, and then part owner OF sman
dry goods store in the town.
About this time the first railroad it had
ever had ran into Wendom, and the town be
gan to have what would be called boom
in the West.
Soon after the arrival of the railroad, there
came into the town a number of capitalists.
who had heard of the superior advantages the
town offered for the establishment OF large
mandatory, now that it had railroad faciii-
ties, and the result OF their visit was that
within ten days more than hundred men
were at work on the river bank, excavating
for an immense mandatory. that would
give employment to hundreds of families
and add greatly to the Importance and popu-
lation of the town.
A house, handsomer than any in the village,
was erected for the superintendent of the
works, who, it was said, would arrive some
weeks before the manufactory was complet-
ed, and all applications for situations must be
made to him.
He would be the most important parsonage
in the town on his arrival, and there was
great curiosity~in regard to the kind Of per-
sonage he was likely to be.
Hes going to have house fine enough
for Queen Victory" said old Farmer Gerrish
to his family, one evening. "Everything's
finer n fiddle, and 1 reckon none Of US II
be good enough for such high-and mighty
oentleman To look at :"
He was not, however, too good nor too au-
gust parsonage for more than half the male
population of Wendom to look at when he
arrived the next day, On the noon train.
"Nothing SO mighty high-falutin' about
him. whispered old Mr.. Gerrish to a neigh
Dor, as a pleasant-faced, full-bearded man
stepped from the train.
"Looks pretty young to be boss over such
a big concern as that, don't he?" said some
one.
Eyes, but he's probably got an old head"
replied Mr. Gerrish. Hes full of snap and

He stopped short and stared in open-mouth-
ed wonder at the trim-looking young man
