With the opening OF next week
Of district court Judge 0. L. Moore
who has for twelve years presided Is
succeeded by Judge r. l. King
Judge Moore has made one Of the
most capable judges ever on the
bench in Kansss;his defeat was not
due to any lack of eminent qualifica-
ton on his part but solely to Politi-
cal scrap which gave Marion county
an advantage. His work during the
dozen years Of service in this district
has met with the approval OF every
fair. minded man and no judge ever
ruled court who was more conscien-
tious in his decisions or who was less
swsyed by policy. Because he would
not compromise with what his con-
science told him was right made him
enemies-but he leaves the bench
with a record Of honor, Of legal abil-
ity and Of high, clean dignity that is
priceless. He has opened a law office
in this city and there will be no lack
Of clients for such men in any pro-
fession are the kind for which the
business world is looking.
That his ability is recognized over
the district is evidenced by the fol-
lowing editorial in the junction City
Uniou:
"The record Of Judge Moore while
be neld that Office has been one OF
marked ability applied honestly and
successfully to the working out Of
justice. He has been fearless in his
decisions, and has been eminently
lust in all that he has done. There
has never been q charge Of harshness
or injustice against him during the
entire length Of time that he has held
the Office, except by those who have
come before his court continually be-
cause OF persistent violation OF the
law. These have had cause because
he has been firm and stern in his
stand against williul crime of all sorts.
"Yet while Judge Moore has taken
a stand against crime which has made
the willfully guilty person fear trial
before him, no one has ever been
kinder to the hayward individual who
has been in trouble because Of bad
company and thoughtlessneSs. His
sentences have always been light
where he saw that 1t would be OF
greater ultimate benefit to the crim-
inal II he were shown mercy and len
iency. In other words he has given
d man who is truly repentant for the
crimes which he committed and will
really try to reform il he has oPpor-
tunity, all the chance he could ask
TO-. However, when the hardened
criminal and persistent law breaker
has come before him he has made his
justice severe, both as just punish
ment and as a warning to others who
persist in breaking the law.
"Judge Moore retires from the
bench with the goodwill Of everybody
and goes into the private practice OF
law with all the best wishes for good
things to come from all who know
him. We wish he could 60 higher in
his profession, to greater honor as a
Judge, for we feel that he is abund-
antly capable IT doing 50, and would
be an honor to any bench in the state. "

suummnxuMOR the first time in a num-
~ Der of years, after the demise
of Grover Cleveland, and I'M
~ til the retirement of Theo-
KSapssssss,xsaT dore Roosevelt, the United
&#sSSfESSs 8&8# States did n~Otnumbcr among
NE<z6sEzzHS its citizens a living ex-preSi-
dent of the republic; and the number OF
living widows of presidents is compare
lively small considering that some OF the
nations chief executives married women
many years their junior. Surviving presl-
Dental widows are Mrs. Garfield, Mrs.
Harrison and the lately bereaved Mrs.
Cleveland. Regarding the life Of Mrs.
Garfield and Mrs. Cleveland since they
left the White House the public has heard
more or less from time to time, but Mrs.
Harrison has lived so quietly and in such
Seclusion that the American people have
been told little of her home life.

ter is the remarkable heartshaped stone which
the general and Mrs. Harrison found on one
of their honeymoon walks. Adjoining this
room is that formerly occupied by the gener-
ais secretary. This room and those on the
second foor-reached by an outside stairway
are all now utilized as guest chambers. Mrs.
Harrison is of the opinion that when there IS
a large house party at the lodge it is good for
both hostess and guests not to see too much
of one another, and consequently she gives her
visitors a sense of independence by installing
them in a habitation of their own, so to speak.
Although there are IA bedrooms at Berkeley
Lodge and a greater or less number OF guests
are being entertained almost constantly, Mrs.
Harrison lives very simply and maintains a
most unpretentious establishment. The wants
of the household are looked after by a capable
housekeeper, George, an old colored servltor'
who has been in the employ Of Mrs. Harrison
for a number Of years, and a general utlity
man, whose duties range all the way from
gardening to service as guide and boatman on
the occasion of those picnics or one-day excur-
sions which constitute the one form OF diver
sion favored by Mrs. Harrison.
Mrs. Harrison is enabled to live in a style

single dwelling, but a whole cluster OF log
structures, occupies a knoll overlooking the
lake, but is so hidden by trees that it is I'M
observed until the visitor is close upon it. The
main building is a picturesque two-story struc-
ture with a large octagonal tower on each
forward corner. The space between these
towers, across the front of the house, is oc-
cupied by a wide porch. Practically the whole
central portion of this building is given over
to a huge living room, open to the roof and
with a monster fireplace of field stones, laid
up roughly with no mortar showing. Con-
spicuous on the mantel is a portrait OF the
late ex-President Harrison draped with an
American flag. The towers which flank this
unique structure are given over to tiny bed
rooms, those on the second floor being reached
by galleries to which stairways ascend from
either end of the living room. These sleeping
apartments are reserved for the use of Mrs.
Harrison, her daughter and closest personal
friends.
Located a few yards distant from the main
building and connected with it by means of
a rustic walk is the housekeeping annex"
which contains the dining room, kitchen and
quarters for the servants. These rooms, alike
to all those at Berkeley Lodge. are ceiled in
selected spruce, which, though unvarnished,
retains its beautiful cream tint as though 1t

of loaded glass and all
the open fi%replaces are or

one in the living room.
A nook in the annex
that would prove Of inter
est to every housewife is
the "storeroom." House
keeping half a dozen
miles from the nearest
market requires foresight,
even if you have your
own vegetable garden, and
SO Mrs. Harrison has a
capacious closet, the we'll
filled shelves of which re-
mind one of a full-f1edged
grocery store. While on
the subject mention may
be made of another unique
adjunct of the Harrison
country seattle tin
closet. This tin closet con-
sists of a small room,
completely lined with tin,
in which is stored all the
bedding, clothing, etc.,
when the house is closed
for the season, a neces-
sary precaution to thwart
the field mice-a destruc-
tive pest in this section
of the country.
The third of the princi-
pal structures on the Har-
rison estate is the Refuge,
a two-story structure
rustic, like the rest-set
in the midst Of a densely
wooded area. This build
ing was erected by the
late Gen. Harrison in or
der that he might have a
place to carry on impor-
tant work wholly undis-
turbed, and here he did
all his preliminary work
on the celebrated Vene-
zuela case and other i'm

upon which he engaged
following his retirement

OLD SOAkERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.

When a person has used coffee for q

A Frank Opinion.

Once a youth thought it his solemn
duty to learn something about Henry
James. So, to the great admiration
of his frivolous friends. he picked up

peared into its pages.
Two weeks later he was thinner, but
still at it, when one of the afore-men-
toned frivolous friends came into the
room, and, for the first time showed
interest.
Say" he observed, "is The Wings
Of the Dove a collection Of short
stories or one long story?"
The deliver into James glanced up
from the pages.

schisms That Seem Small.

bitterly were found by Sven Hedln IN llDet.
Searching for the cause OF this aversion ne
found that one of the sects believed tnat cue

the other was convinced that the wheel should
turn to the left. In the region of the Drama
mira he found a mountain which is so sacred
that whoever walks around it 13 times has all
his sins forgiven. The result OF this DelleI
is that criminals from far and near infest this
region. When Sven Hedin started to ride
around this mountain on his horse the Pill
