NEW. vERslca OF CID STORY
But Its the Same Ahsent-Minded Man with the Baby and the
 Kerosene Can.

A party of genial spirits were sit ting talking on the topics of the day the other evening vhsn the conrersa- ton turned to ab5eat-mindedness. Several incidents were related, and finally man who had been an atten. tive listener broke into the limelight.
 That fast story said he. reminds me of friend of, mine who was left at home to care for the baby and suddenly remembered that he had to go to the store for kerosene. Taking the baby on one arm and the kero- sene can on the other, he went to the grocery joint and
 'I sec" smiiingly anticipated one of the party. he took the oil home and forgot the kid"
 No, he didn't responded the speaker. He placed the can on the counter and gently said. sit there a moment. dear and then, holding the baby toward tine clerk. added: Fill this with kerosene. please.

JUSTICE BREWERS REMARKABLE
 INTERVIEW REGARD|nG COURTS

MILWAUKEE. July 27.-The righ of . man to be r.ch. the dangers o tedious administration of justice ir
 the courts. the right of a woman te
 vote and her right to consideration
 from mankind were subjects touched
 upon by Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court in a remarkable interview here on great national problems. He sad:
 We have our difieulties today as onr fathers did in their time-not the same. but, none the less. difYiculties. But our fathers triumphed, and We shall do the same. Let TO man de. spair of the republic. The accumula. tion of wealth, if honestly made. ought to create no prejudice. and as the ways in which the fortunes were ac- cumulated are made known. will not result in any prejudice.
 "The upbuiiding of great fortunes is not strange" he said. when busi- ness transactions can be arranged by telegraph and telephone to all parts of the land and to all parts of the world. In a few minutes. contracts are made that will bring great results ether of success or disaster. But of course there will always be some who will be dissatisfied if they are not as fortunate as their neighbors Monop- plies are being formed all the time. more or less complete. but more to be condemned than the IFiyilege ac- quired by 1t is subject to condemna. ton.
 Duty of Wealthy Men to the Public
 "One duty which really rests upop men who have acquired wealth hon estly is to recognize the fact that they owe to the public the moral duty of using some portion of their wealth for the public good The more our wealthy men come into the habit of helping education and charitable insti- tutions and organizations the more they will disabuse the minds of the less fortunate of their prejudices.
 Undoubtedly there IS not a little social unrest because of this accumu- lation of capital, or wealth. in the hands of a comparatively few. but on the other hand there Is great body of our people who have acquired homes. who are enjoying comfortable and who deprecate any dis turbances which will affect the.r pres ent conditions of comfott- IL Is true

Pompadour. a large Thomas cat owned by Mrs. James Howe of Skow. began, Me. is noted for his intelli. gence and sagacity.
 A short time ago he called another cat to his aid to rid the house of . large number of mice. He directed the strange cat to stand by the door lead. ing into the shed while he (Pompa. dour). slowly worked string that had a piece of cheese fastened to it, ailur. ing the mice into the kitchen. That night 70 or 50 mice were slain by Pompadour and his assistant

 Since the organization in Guaymas of the Reyista clubs people have been thrown Tn jail. About week ago a big demonstration was held in the Gambrinus saloon in Guaymas. When the Reyistas gathered for the meeting 50 soldiers were placed in a circle around the meeting place. The bands played and the crowds yelled 'sviva Reyes. Some hot speeches were made. when the soldiers closed in, raided the place arresting I2 or IS of the participants and threw them in jail.

there are great many in the slums or suffering from want of work, ana they are the ones to whom the dema gogue makes his most effective ap peal.
 Abraham Lincoln said he relied up on the plain people; and he did n0t mean by that the class who arc knuwn as -buuls" or den;xens of the slums. He meant the great body of farmers. and those yho are living de gently. but necessarily frugaliy, in the cities,
 Defects of the courts.
 Much criticism is made today of the courts. their delays and cost of litigation. No judge ought to object to any honest and far criticism. It Is undoubtedly true that there is a cumbersomeness in our legal proceed. ure which has resulted in great de- lays. much expense and sometimes in- Justice. and there Is no duty more im- perative upon the bar and bench than to do what they can to simplify mat ters and put technicalities out of the way and see to 1t that substantial jus- tice is administered.
 The reversing of a judgment by an appellate court on the ground of a mere technicality. when substantial justice has been administered. is an other outrage.
 Suffrage Question Live One.
 The suffrage question? There are a good many of the gentler sex that think they know as much as we do and are just as well qualihed to cast a vote as we are. And they are busy endeavoring to. bring about that re- suit. and they have secured it in four states. Now, there are a. good many questions to be considered in refer ence to it. but it cannot be ignored And there never is going to be dan ger of their pressing the question as those suffragettes did in England with hatpins. They are appealing to our intelligence and mean to convince us if possible, that the best interests of the nation require that they should be permitted to vote.
 That question is coming before us Every state will have to meet it. The nation will have to meet 1t. It cannot be put to one side. It is question calling for intelligent consideration of the interests of the nation as s whole"
