a Dead Bird.

Samuel Butler, the witty but eccen'
trio author of "Erehwon"-which
means "Nowhere"-and of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, is
now more read than during his HE
time. He died in 1902. In one OF MS
notebooks he tells this incident, which
must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:
Frank Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the hippopota'
mus cage when little boy and girl
aged four and FIVE, came up. The NIP
popotamus shut his eyes for minute

INQUIRY INTO TRAIN ORDER
Public Hearing on Union Pacific Train
Cancellation March q.

Lincoln, Feb. 2S.-If freight business
In Nebraska has fallen off to such an
extent tha: the Union Pacific road is
warranted in canCelling half its trains
on branch lines, the railroad commits
sion wants to know about it.. TO this
end a public hearing has been ordered
for March 4, when the facts and fig
ures to ~substantiate action already
taken by the road must be forthcoming.
Within the week, the Union Pacific
road took off one freight train a day
on the Manhattan branch through Be-
atrice and ordered tri-weekly service
on lines from Kearney, Grand Island
and Columbus. The commercial club
of Norfolk did not sleep on the matter,
but made a complaint to the railroad
commission before the order had time
to get cold. The railroad quickly no.
tilted the commission that the train
would be put back and service on this
line has already been restored.
This brought the attention of the
commission to the order and on repre-
sensations from the railroads that IN
gines on local freights capable of haul
ing 1900 tons at a load were making
daily trips with from eighty to $50
tons, the hearing March 4 was ordered.

IAUCS JuDGE WHITLEY
President Roosevelt Commends In
stead of Censures Him.

Washington, March 3.-President
Rooseyelt'S defense Of LebbeuS X. Will
fey, based or an analytical review by
Secretary Root OF the charges against
him, was made public. The charges
were preferred by LOrrin Andrews and
have been repeated by him before the
house committee on the judiciary as
the basis OF Impeachment proceed
ings. They relate to Judge Wiliey's
administration of the United States
court for China at Shanghai.
President Roosevelt's decision Is
contained in a letter to Secretary
Root. He first comments that it ap-
pears that Congressman Waldo OF New
York stands sponsor for the charges.
Il cordially concur in your finding"
he continues, which is to the effect
that Judge Whitley is not only inno-
cent, but is attacked solely because OF
the fearlessness and Integrity with
which he has stamped out vice and
crime in Shanghai. 1t is clear that
Judge Wiley has been attacked not
because he has lone evil, but because
he has done good. The assault on him
is simply an Impeachment OF decency
and zeal for the public good and If
successful would tend to COW and dis
courage every honest public servant
who darcs to withstand the forces
banded together for evil and would do
| grave damage 10 the honor IN inter
est OF our country in the Orient, II
the attack were to succeed the bene-
fCiaries would be every keeper OF a
house OF prostitution, every ~swindling
lawyer, every nan who lives by black
mail and corruption in the cities Of the
far east. These are the people whose
hopes have been revived by the effort
to overthrow this upright and fear
less judge who has already done so
much for the good name OF America in
China. II is not too much to say that
this assault on Judge Wiley in the in
terest of the vicious and criminal
classes is a public scandal"

It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands, Her hands were so bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doc tors care for a year and half and he seemed to do her no good. l took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if had de- pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.

 One of the stories of Peter the Great which are current at the court of St. Petersburg is of the great czar's wres- fling match with young dragoon Once in the imperial palace-so the story gOes-Peter was at table with a great many princes and noblemen, and soldiers were posted within the hall. The czar was In joyous mood, and, rising, called out to the company: Listen, princes and boyars! Is there among you one who will wrestle with the czarT There was no reply, and the czar repeated the challenge.
 No prince or nobleman dared to wres. tlo with his sovereign. But all at once a young dragoon stepped out from >the ranks of the soldiers on guard Listen, orthodox czRr," he said. "l will wrestle with thee" "Well. young dragoon," said Peter, "I will wrestle with thee, but on these conditions: If thou throwest me, will pardon thee, but If thou art thrown thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those cOndltlonsT
 q will, great czar," said the soldier They closed, and presently the soldier with his left arm threw the czar and with his right he prevented him from failing to the ground. The sovereign was clearly beaten. The czar offered the soldier whatever reward he should claim, and he Ignobly claimed the privilege of drinking free as long aS be lived In all the inns belonging to the crown. What became of him his tory does not say.
