Judge Burke and Maud Muller-The
appeared in the editorial columns of
the Baltimore SssH of last Sunday:
at cannot escape the observation of our Tow
son readers that when their genial neighbor,
Judge Burke, goes into the bayfield, he is &C
companied by an able bodied veteran who has
seen many years service by sea and land.
This veteran has served under Fighting Bob
Evans and other old seadogs, and on land
scaled the walls of Peking and beat the Boxers.
The reason why this man of war is put to &C.
COMPANY and watch the Judge while he is rak
ing the meadows sweet with hay is to safeguard
him from any possible Maud Muller who
might pass that way and ask for drink of
water and sing to him some old love ditty. If
Maud Muller should ever come that way and
see the handsome Judge in the bayfield,. she
would never be able to pass him by. His friends
know this very well and have provided against
all possible accidents of this kind by employ.
ing grim-visaged son of Mars to guard him.
He would never be able to protect himself. He
IS ali right on the bench of the Court of APP
peals and tolerably safe when presiding with
characteristic grace and dignity at Towson.
But it is the hayfield-better look out, Judge
No writ of injunction lies against Maud Miller,
who is invariably associated in literature with
a bayfield, and q member of the judiciary. If
it were straw crop, now, and there was cool
spring and mint bed near by, there might be
another inference just as sweet and attractive.
But we forbear lest the judicial scythe should
be turned in our direction"
The basis of the above editorial was the fol-
lowing from the news columns Of the same
issue Of the Stn:
Judge N. Charles Burke, of Baltimore county,
and Tom" Kelley are harvesting the hay
crop on the Judges place at Towson.
Everyone knows the Judge; but tom"
who is sn original and interesting character, is
not SO widely known. He served years in the
United States army and rs years in the navy.
He has served under Sampson, Schley, Flight
ing Bob" Evans and other heroes, and has
seen many knowing accidents, by food and
field" and can tell of many battles, sieges and
fortunes he has passed. He was in Boxer trou-
bles and was present when the Americans
scaled the walls of Picking.
As the luxuriant grass was falling before the
Judges scythe passer-by inquired of Tom"
who the mower was.
1.-The boss" replied Tom.
"What boss p
