A Bad Change.

While holding a term Of court at
Augusta once Judge Walton sentenced
a man to seven years in prison for q
grave crime. The respondents coun-
sci asked for a mitigation Of the sen
tence on the ground that the prison
er's health was very poor. "You1
honor" said he, II am satisfied that
my client cannot live out half that
term, and beg of you to change the
sentence" "Well, under those circum.
Stances" said the Judge, Il Will
change the sentence. I will make II
for life instead Of seven years. It Is
almost needless to add that the re-
spondent chose to abide by the orig
inal sentence, which the Judge per-
mitted him to elect.-Argonaut.

ROTTEN COTTON GLOVES.
The Origin Of q One Time Popuia
Slam Phrase.

The origin of "rotten cotton gloves"
a phrase which for some years be-
longed to the slang Of England and
America, is worth relating. At time
when John lie Hay was playing at the
Prince Of Wales he was command.
ed" to give his ventriloquial perform
ance at a birthday entertainment at
Sandringham.
His two figures, the usual squeaky
old lady and the usual rude old man,
had been newly dressed for the occa'
sion, that their clothes might not SUI
fer too keenly by comparison with the
rich surroundings. But when Mr.. 1e
Hay had placed them in position and
was about to begin his "show" he
found to his disgust that his costumer
had forgotten to change the old mans
dirty cotton gloves for pairsof new
kids.
The tone of shabbiness this gave to
the male figure was too conspicuous
to be ignored by poor Mr.. lie Hay. and
in an eternal half minute his quick
wit found a way out Of the trouble for
him.
"A nice thing" remarked the male
doll, looking around at the royal 1audi'
ence with alarm, bringing me to q
swell house like this in these terrible
glovesv'
This caused so much amusement
that the ventriloquist decided to make
more Of the "wheeze," and the badly
behaved OIL gentleman's incessant
grumble throughout the entertain
ment, "rotten cotton gloves" proved
one of the chief successes Of the even
ing.
The Zine" was in all Mr.. lie Hays
subsequent performances In America
as we'll as in England, and If, say, q
man had had bad deal in Wall street
or in Throgmorton avenue it was the
usual thing to say that he had a ''rot-
ten cotton deal."-London M. A. p.

Office until 1904, when he was elected
mayor Of Seattle, which he governed
for two years. He Is a noted lawyer
and heads the important legal firm of
Ballinger, Ronald and Battle. He is
member of the Loyal Legion and
has written many law books. He was
made commissioner of the general
land Office, with headquarters in the
national capital in March, 1907, and

in giving utterance to that opinion. In
fact, we do not want TO get on that
subject much-it is too exasperating.
When one thinks OF the multitude OF
chunps' who march obediently and
unquestoningly up 10 the polls under
the crack OF the party whip and vote
the ticket" with little or no thought as
TO who is on it, one wonders not that
our popular institutions exist lamely
at times, but that they exist at all.
However, this is only one side OF the
picture. Over against II is TO be seen
the great number OF independent vot-
ers who refuse to be led by the nose
under thee ry OF party regularity
and who vote as they please even
when the way they please to vote is
extremely displeasing to the politicians
OF their own party. But when poll
tician "cusses' you, you are likely to
be in good health and conscience.

WORTH CONSIDERING

A / last weeks meeting oil the Good
~ Roads Commission Senator
Blair Lee, and others, fired a
broadside into the road building me-
thods OF the State Geological Survey.
He quoted facts and figures to prove,
not only the extravagant cost OF these
roads, but their want OF durability and
their great eNpensivcncss for maintcn-
ance. We are not saying that Scna-
tor Lees charges are accurate, but he
certainly voiced the sentiments OF n
great many interested and intelligent
observers OF the work done by the Geo
logical Survey. The State OF Maryland
IS undertaking big and expensive cx-
pertinent in the matter OF good roads
building. There can be no doubt OF the
popular sentiment for such roads. 4
failure 10 do this work properly and
economically at this time means n
blow to the cause ui improved high
ways from which the State would prob
ably not recover in generations. Now,
therefore, is the time for just such out
spoken criticisms rs Senator Lee made
last week. That criticism could be
