The Christmas Spirit.

On Sunday morning at the
Methodist Sunday school there
was presented a beautiful picture
of that greatest of all human
virtues, charity. There was man
ifest the spirit of sympathy for
the unfortunate and the spirit OF
the kinship and fellowship Of
men.
Suspended above the altar
We're 200 we'll filled stockings,
each representing the love of
someone for the unfortunate lit
tie ones who are under the care
of the church in the orphanage
at jackson. Through the super
intendent, Mr.. j. H. Ledyard,
the Sunday school here request
ed the privilege of the managers
of the orphanage to play Santa
Claus for the little ones in the
home. The tender, of course,
was accepted, and a list of the
names of the little fellows, mum
bering IT'S, was sent to Mr.. Led
yard who announced at Sunday
school that the pupils Here coulc
select one Of like age and fill
q stocking to be forwarded foi
service on Christmas eve night.
The names were soon take1
and there were 20 applications
more than the list Of names.
Sunday morning the weather
was bleak, but through the snow
trudged the little ones who were
eager to bring the stockings they
had filled. The chancel presented
a beautiful picture and those
who were fortunate enough tt
be there will not soon forget the
happy occasion. 1t was truly IL
keeping with the spirit and Ifs
of Him who gave us the message
of hope, of love, of charity ant
forgiveness. "As much as "
co it unto the least of these,
even so, ye do it unto me. :"

Faimsr Stubbs : He Lives at
Home.

There was comment IN the
market reports the other day
because condensed milkis scarce.
Of course condensed milk is a
very useful product, but isn't it
about the height of absurdity
when the farmer buys condensed
milk?
And especially is this absurd
down here where cows can run
on pasture nine months in the
year.
Yet enormous quantities Of
Condensed milk are shipped out
Of Memphis every year to some
of the neighboring plantations.
If all our farmers were like
Ben Stubs. of Baldwin, Miss,
the money that they get for 15c

not so up into Illinois, Iowa and

Salaries Of United States Judges.

Realizing that the judiciary oil
the United States, as well as
that of the several States should
command the best legal talent,
as well as the highest persona
character TO be found in the
profession, one Of the first con-
ditions requisite for attaining
such results is that the various
judicial officers should receive
such compensation as, without
demanding any serious pecuniary
sacrifice, would command the
services Of the men most desired
for the bench.
The Board Of Trade ana Trans
nortation OF the city Of New
York, noticing that the judges
Of the New York State courts
are paid higher salaries than
those sof the United States
courts, appointed a committee to
inquire into the matter and to
report. recommendations, The
salaries Of the United States
judges Of various courts are.
briefly, as follows
Chief justice Of the Supreme
Court, $l3, 600 a year.
Associate justices Of the Su-
preme Court, $12, 500,
Circuit iadge ges, each per an
num, $1,000.
District judges, sc, 900.
In striking contrast to those
figures it is to be noted that in
sne State Of New York the chief
justice of the Court Of Appeals
receives $l4,10o, his associate
justices $la, 700 each, while the
supreme Justice Of the city OF
New York gets S17,500, justices
of General Sessions sl5,00a and
other justices in proportion.
Many other such facts appear in
,ther States, showing how in
adequately the national judges
are compensated.
When we compare theil
,alaries with those of judicial
olIicers in Great Britain, whence
We get our Common law system,
ge find our judges are pitifully
disposed of. For instance, the
Lord High Chancellor gets $780,
700 per annum, the Master CT
he Rolls $4,000, the justices OF
ne Kings Bench $4,000 each,
and the Lord High Chancellor
for Ireland S40,0
The committee Of the New
York Board of Trade proposes
the following salaries for our
United States Judges.
Chief justice, $4,000: associate
justices, sl7,500; circuit judges,
$4,000; district judges, $4,000.
According to our scale Of
salaries these figures would be
reasonable; but not by any
means more than they should be
Ia order to secure judges of
nigh attainments and character.
