poe,n.t cara for the bud Man.

Do you know 1t is not a compliment to be called just man? It carries with it an intolerant spirit, a mean dis position, and fault-fnding manner There must not be too much business in this country. The deeds must be filtered and sugar coated. The just man is the man who demands that ev- erybody come up to his standard. Ever think how hard a job that is? We have our own standards and 1t keeps us busy measuring up to them, but to have to measure up to some other mans standard is awful, simply awful.-Lawrence (Kan.) Journal.

Detective HazeIhurst Resiqns.

Charles Hazelhurst of this city and Frank Decker of New London, special agents on the Shore Line division of the New Haven road, have resigned. their resignations having already taken effect. The reason it is stated, is be- cause of a lack of harmony among the numerous detectives.
 Mir Hazelhurst has been a railroad detective for number of years and was perhaps the best known of the New Havens' agents.
 As a detective MT. Hazelhurst is known as one of the most energetic and fearless officers in the state. His work for the railroad has been hi~' successful and the professional crook that he does not know or remember is rarity.
