INSISTED ON JUSTICE.

Some One Had to Suffer to Satisfy The
Judges Conscience.
As a burglar vas trying to break
into a house of a citizen Of an
oriental city the framework Of the
second story window to which he
chung gave way, and he fell and
broke his leg. Hmping before the
Justice the next day, he Indignantly
demanded that the owner Of the
house be punished.
you shall have justice" said the
judge.
The owner, being summoned,
claimed that the accident was due
to the poor woodwork and that the
carpenter, not he, was to blame.
"That sounds reasonable" said
the Judge. "1et the carpenter be
called"
The carpenter admitted that the
window was defective. 'But how
could I do BETTER" said he, when
the mason work was out of plumb"
ITO be sure" replied the judge,
and he sent for the mason.
The mason could not deny that
the coping was crooked. He ex-
planned that while he was placing
it in position his attention was dis
tracted from his work by a pretty
girl in a blue tunic who passed on
the other side of the street.
"Then you are blameless," said
the Judge, and the girl was sent
for.
II admit" said she, chat 1 am
pretty, but that's not my fault, and
if the blue tunic attracted the ma
sons attention the dyer, not 1, is
responsible"
"That's good logic" said the
judge. LET the dyer be called"
The dyer came and pleaded
guilty.
"Take the wretch" said the
judge to the thief, "and hang him
from his own doorpost."
The people applauded this wise
sentence and hurried off to carry it
out. Soon they returned and re-
ported that the dyer was too tall to
be hung from his doorpost.
Find a short dyer and hang him
instead" said the judge, with a
yawn. "Let justice be done at any
cost"

His Deep Concern.

The kind old lady noticed a small
lad entering a cobbler's with a small
package.
"What have you there, sonny?"
she asked kindly.
MAJ slipper" replied the lad.
"You see, there is a tack out of
place in it, and I want to have it
fixed before ma notices it."
"Ah, what a considerate little
boy! I suppose. you are afraid the
tack might hurt your mothers
foot?"
"Well, it isn't exactly that. You
see, the tack is sticking out on the
sole, and this is the slipper ma
spanks me with."-Chicago News.

The subject of vegetarianism had
occupied a great deal of attention

back to his sisters side, rubbing his
bare legs vigorously.
"What's the matter ?" asked sis

coyotes on the bank of Clear Lake,
and as soon as the bird RECEIVERS
from its injuries the youngster will
send it to President Roosevelt as a
New Years gift. One of the eagles
feet was caught in the trap, and

bird sunk its talons into Jimmie's
thigh, but the boy was game, walk

he was released. The eagle has a
spread of wings of eight feet and is
in good condition, barring the
scratches it sustained while endeav-

RAILROAD MAP CHANGED.
How Sale of Colorado and southern

Commenting on The change made

of New York, send out the following
bulletin:
The absorption of the Colorado
and Southern road by the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, thus trans
ferring it to the Hill system, became
an official fact during the week. The
Colorado and Southern will need
several hundred miles of new build
ing to make it a complete link to
the south. The Hill system now has
total mileage of 24,144 miles. The
net amount of stock in round num-
bers is $617 900, 900, with bonds of
s515, 000.0 900. The gross earnings in
1907-08 amounted to $215, 1000, 900,
with gross income approximately
$225,000,00 The net income of the
system last year was $74,000,0O0
with charges of $22, 900, the
fixed charges thus amounting to less
than 80 per cent of the total net in
come. The increased difficulty of
