SEEMED APPROPRIATE TO HER

Reason for Appealing to Loco

One day last winter a feeble Irish
woman called upon us for aid. The
case sounded urgent, SO l went with
her at once. Everything was just as
she had stated. Her husband was
very i'll, she was too old and feeble
to work, their children were dead,
there was no fire and their only food
was bread which their neighbors, al
most as poor as they, had given them.
/ asked her why she had not come to
us before and she replied that she
had appealed to the church and to
several individuals without success.
Thin" she went on, "Oi wint to tn

FAITH" ALL THAT WAS LEFT
Symbols Of "Hope" and "chsrlty" Had
Got Away from Unfortunate Sun
day School Scholar.

A young Philadelphia Sunday school
Teacher tells this story of the result
Of an attempted application Of the
principles of economies:
For some time she had endeavored
TO impress upon the minds of one Of
her charges the names of the three
qualities, faith, hope, and charity. One
Sunday she presented the pupil of the
poor memory with three new shining
coins, a penny, a five-cent piece, and
4 dime.
"The penny" she said, represents
faith, the fve.cent piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think Of
what they stand for"
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week be-
fore, and called upon the holder Of the
coins to produce them and give their
names in proper sequence. The
youngster shufled from one leg to the
other, stammered, blushed and seemed
altogether overcome with mortifica-
ton. Finally he burst out with:
please, Miss Fanny, I amt got
nuthin' left but faith. Baby swal-

Oil Lamps Brighter Than Electric

Light.
Probably one of the most wonderful
as well as useful of modern inven-
tions is that of a New York scientist
who has just secured from the Gov
eminent protection IN a lamp burner,
which by converting the oil into by
d~ro-carbon gas, burning on a mantle,
gives an eighty candle power light
with less oil consumption and with
out carbonizing the mantle or over
heating the lamp. It can be fitted to
any lamp and the wick lasts a life
time. There is absolutely no danger,
no odor and no smoke. The Union
Light Co., of New York City, have &C.
quired the selling rights of this burn
er, which is called the "Herzog," after
the inventor, and, we understand, are
making a special discount to introduce
1t into each township with a view of
securing a local representative.

GOV. HADLEY TELLS WHY HIS
SIGNATURE WAS AFFIXED
TO MEASURES.
Sees CHANGE IN CONDITIONS
New Tribunal is Created at Spring
INSTRUMENTATION Of Appeals Court
Is Increased $7,5oo-"New
Law Needed"

Kansas City.--Gov. Hadley signed
two bills passed by the legislature
that were fought by the big corpora
lions all last winter. One creates q
new court OF appeals, with a court at
Springfield, and the other increases
the jurisdiction of the courts of APP
peals to $500.
There will now be three courts of
appeals, one in Kansas City, n in
st. Louis and one in Springfield, with
the state divided into three districts
as nearly equal in population as pos
sible. The court bill was passed six
years ago and vetoed by Gov. Dock
cry. 1t passed again four years ago
and Gov. Folk vetoed it.
In the Dockery administration there
was an attempt to increase the juris-
diction, but the railroads were strong
enough to keep the jurisdiction down
below the fixed price they had at
that time to pay for a life lost through
their negligence.
In signing the bills the governor
took occasion to tell something about
the condition of litigation in this state
and how the courts are situated. After
giving figures that show the need of
another court, If justice is to be
speedy, Gov. Hadley said inihis state
ment:
1.-The supreme court Of the state Is
now more than three years behind In
its docket, Cases are often held under
advisement by that court for six
months, and some cases for more than
one year after they have been finally
submitted.
while the Kansas City court of
appeals is practically even with its
docket 1t is the opinion Of many lead.
ing practitioners in that court that 1t
would be advisable If the court did
not have so many cases to determine,
in order that it could give fuller and
more deliberate consideration to the
cases that 1t decides.
Conditions lntoIerabIe.
1.-THE condition existing in the SUI
preme court Of the state Is int%oleraple,
and clearly in violation of the consti
tuition, which provides that Justice
shall neither be delayed nor denied.
This condition Of affairs works pc
culiarly in favor Of the defendants in
negligence cases, for the reason that
the poor man, who usually is the
plaintiff in this kind of litigation, car
seldom afford to wait the long period
necessary for the determination Of
his case.
And should the judgment be re
versed through some technical inaccu
racy, then it often happens that it is
impossible for him to again find his
witnesses to press his claim. The
result is that this delay in the deter
mination of cases on appeal results
in a practical denial of justice in 9
large amount of the litigation in this
state.
"There is no difference of opinion
among the lawyers and the people. o.
the state that there should be SOM
correction of this condition. There IL
some difference Of opinion as to how
this correcting should be made"
