THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE
Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof Of Deafness Also.

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the
hill. was a passenger on a Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to a couple of clerks who were
deeply interested in some discussion,
which caused one of them to raise his
voice to quite a high pitch, says the
Washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced warily around to see
If any one was listening to the talk
Of his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence of the dignified
justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: For
heavens sake. lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice Is blind
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf also." Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark it is i'm
possible to state, yet, all the same, a
calm smile fitted over his face at
the conclusion Of the young fellows
admonition to his friend.

WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE.
Practically UnobtainabIe During Period
Of Missouri's History.

However scarce money may be at
times at the present." said an old Mis-.
sourian, the Oldest inhabitants will
recall when 1t was almost unobtain-
able and other commodities had to be
used as media Of exchange. The
VOLTS scalp was worth a dollar be-
cause 1t was state bounty upon the
death Of a wolf, and venison hams
and deer skins also had a purchasing
value. Skins of the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable. When
the first sheriff of Audrain county, in
1887. went to Jefferson City to deliver
the county revenue, he met an old
friend on the way who, needing
money, wanted to borrow the actual
coin part of the county's revenue. The
good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and
went on to the capital and delivered
only the scalps. By the time of the
next settlement the loan was repaid
and the sheriff made his next settle
ment complete. No note or other OBJ
lgation than the mere word was
gtven."-Columbia Herald.

1t is curious thing" said PROM
inent lecturer recently, how some

'Howdy' every time you come across
them. Last Christmas / visited friends
back at the old home on the farm.
When the supper dishes had been put
away, the chores done and the evening
lamp lighted we gathered beside the
organ for good old fashioned Sing
On the center table were strewn the
Christmas remembrances taken from
Christmas tree on the evening before.
Glancing over them / suddenly ex-
claimed Hello! my good friend,
Hello!' and as the others looked up
with surprise, / picked up a copy of
Heart Throbs' and read to them from
its pages the piece I spoke in
school 40 years ago.
That was enough to set In motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs, and the music was for
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits of prose
and verse that have been preserved
In this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
historical significance. but Heart
Throbs Is the only book I know that
slaps you on the back in a friendly
sort OF way, suiting itself to your
moods and proving faithful to every
emotion: Next to my love Of the Bible

Martins Revenue.

A correspondent tells the story OF
two house martins nests built against
an attic window OF farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring. however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
aoticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
Of this. and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
1he house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession OF

CALHOUN INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
Continued from Page one,

(CoDtlnued from Page oneD
Railroads legal staff and Attorney Earl
Rogers of Los Angeles, who has been
especially engaged for the defense OF
President Calhoun and his associates
appeared for the railway corporation.
Other than a few lawyers, several
newspaper men and seventeen of the
nineteen members of the grand jury
there was no audience present.
Judge C Fey announced, after run
ming his eye over the indictments. that
he would fix bail in the sum of $4,000
on each of the eighty-nine counts.
Bonds Aggregate Fortune
He gave the accused until IL o'clock
tomorrow morning to furnish bonds and
remarked that he would accept in lieu
thereof cash bail of $4,000 on each count.
Assurance vas given that pending the
ARRANGEMENT of bail no arrests Will be
made by the prosecution, so the nine
men accused of the giving or taking or
bribes are g. liberty on their own
recognizance until tomorrow.
The failure of Jurors Sonntag and
Young to accompany the grand jury to
Judge Coffey's court was not explained,
though their absence was formally
noted. The fact that Me. Sonntag and
Mr.. Young followed each other in that
order from the grand jury chamber
shortly before the body started for
court and that they appeared to be
laboring under excitement and anger
gave rise to a report that the voting OF
the nineteen indictments was not ac-
complished without friction. No con-
firmation of this could be obtained.
The statement was made unofticially
that all but $4,000 of the entire amount
of bonds, $S90,OO0, will be forthcoming
The
United Railroads alone will have to put
up for it's president, assistant to the
president and two attorneys $56O,0O0 in
securities or S2S0,000 in cash.
Schmitz, in addition to $4,000 security
he has already given to secure his lid
erty pending the trial of the five counts
of extortion brought against him ana
Ruef jointly, will have to put up $780,
900 in bonds. Ruef will have to put up
$40, 000, but inasmuch as he now is and
for more than two months has been a
prisoner without any immediate hope
of release, it is understood that he will
make no attempt to give bail. 1t is said
indeed that under the circumstances
and in view of the fact that he has
turned states evidence, he prefers to
remain the prisoner of Elisor Biggy.
Glass Must Raise $4,000
President Glass OF tne Telephone coiH-
already has given bonds in the
sum of 500, 200. He will have to put up
$50 600 more to retain his liberty. Theo-
dore Halsey has put uo $4,000 In bonds
covering the eleven indictments pre-
viously found against him. He will
have to put up $4,000 additional to-
morrow.
When Foreman oliver of the grand
Jury filed the nineteen indictments in
court he stated that these were "only a
partial report from the grand jury"
This is taken to mean that more indict-
ments are to follow.
