Everybody realizes the necessity oil

The Judge was perplexed. He knew

an inspiration came to him and he
smiled because he had not thought of
it before.
Did somebody write you the infor-

this would bring the desired result.

Ferguson, "and no human being gave

He was one of those sentimental
chaps who imagine the only way to
capture a girls heart is to send her
volumes of poetry. Selecting a book
OF seasonable verse he sent it to his
lady fair with the following scrubbed
on the fy-leaf:
Dearest, as I seek your heart,
A book Of verse l do impart!"
And the pretty but sensible girl,
who did not care a rap if Shakespeare
had been a pirate instead of a poet,
returned the verses with the following
lines:

BEAT.
copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Co..
By F. D. BENNETT

Every eye in the courtroom was
nxed upon Richard Ferguson, reporter
Tor the Morning Post. The Young
journalist stood facing the Judge in
silence.
1t was the second time in a single
DAY that Ferguson had emerged con.
splcuously from the ranks of his pro-
lession. The first occasion was in the
morning when he scored "beat" for
MS paper on the conviction of an &C.
cused millionaire, the events of whose
sensational trial had filled columns
OF the press for many days. The jury
mad deliberated for three days and
TWO nights and the defendants fate
had not been decided until the early
hours of the morning.
The verdict was sealed and the en-.
velope containing it had been left in
the court vault. Yet the judge had
read In his morning paper, two hours
before he appeared in his chambers,
the result Of the jury's deliberation,
the number of ballots taken and the
way the jurors stood at each vote.
So positive had been the announce
ment in Ferguson's paper that there
was no room for belief that he had
made lucky guess. His report was so
accurate that it made the reading of
the real verdict farce. The Judge
looked sternly at the reporter, whom
he had known for years.
did you write that article?" asked
the court.
Il did, your honor"
Il shall demand full explanation
OF you, and perhaps of other persons"
the judge was severe now-"for
there is something radically wrong
here. l cannot cite you for contempt
until l know more of the case. Do
you object to replying to my ques-
tions?"
Not in the least" replied Ferguson,
In the best of spirits.

place of envy and they crowded closer,

Many farmers would handle more
live stock if they could do it easily,
but the laborious and costly way most
farmers have of handling, sorting, and
marketing live stock, together with
the small profit therein outside of
maintaining the fertility of the farm,
has kept many from following the
business.

Our Washington Letter.

Washington, March 18th Especial
Two OF the most important measures
| introduced at this session of congress, the
employers liability bill and the postal
savings bank bill, were introduced by
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. Both OF
these bills are now under consideration
in committee and will be reported to the
senate at an early date. The indications
are that both will become laws at this
session.
A sub committee of the committee on
judiciary is holding hearings on the en-
ployers' liability bill, giving the work
men and the railroads every opportunity
to present arguments for and against it.
The object for which Senator Knox strove
in framing the bill is the one that will be
kept to the front by the committee IN re-
porting upon it and that is to give the
workmen the greatest consideration posi-
BILE for their protection and yet keep
within the bounds of the constitution, so |
hat when the bill becomes a law and |
yets before the courts, it will not suffer
he same unfortunate fate that the fOrmOr
aw did.
The postal savings hank bill is now
icing considered by a subcommittee of
ne committee of postofiices and post
Dad. Two other bills, having the same
beet as that introduced by Senator
.nox are before this subcommittee, but
is believed that the Knox bill will be
9ported to the senate. This bill embod-
IS the views of the postmaster general
nd has the backing of President Roose-
cit and the administration. Every I
fort will be made to secure its passage C
this session of congress and the pros
'cts OF success are good. Bankers and v
lanciers as a rule will favor it, as they t
cognize that it will go a long way to- Fl
ards preventing the recurrence of such
lancial stringency as the country has n
st passed through. The people will h
oIcome it as it will provide an absolutely n
lie depository for their savings.
