JUDGE WILL WAIT AND SEE.

An earnest plea was made by At
torney Charles Pettijohn to Judge
Pritchard of the criminal court for
leniency to client who had entered
a plea of guilty to larceny. The
burden of the attorneys argument
was that his client was the father of
twins, and was tempted to theft in
order to feed the mouths of the in
fants.
"Your honor, 1 will say frankly, I"
said Mr.. Pettijohn in closing, chat
if / were the father Of twins and
needed food for my family, I would
not hesitate to go out and steal it. /"
"Mr. Pettijohn, when you are the
father of twins / will consider your
proposition" said Judge Pritchard.

Some Wichita Items
Wichita Kansas, Oct.

Wichita Kansas, Oct. 70,
left Meade October 4, and.
got to Pratt at p. m. and stay
ed all night at the Cupps house..
Boarded the Santa Fe train at 9
O'Clock the next morning, and
got to Kingman at 10. Stayed
with my grand daughter. Mrs.
Ethel Hart and husband, the rest
of the day and night, and took in
the sights of the town. which is
a fourishlng little place. The
next morning 1 boarded the train
for my home in Wichita.
Along the road from Meade to
kingman | could see scarcely
any difference in the crops, and
from Kingman to Wichita crops
looked pretty fair, but was SUR
prised to see such a small guam
tity of alfalfa along the Minnesota
valley.
was much surprised when I
got off the train and took the
street car for my old home on
Cleveland Ave. and saw how the
town had built up where there
was scarcely any houses when l
left here three years ago, and
they have not stopped building
yet. You can hear hammers
Gathering all over town. There
is much improvement all over
town.
Wichita is considered a dry
town, but | believe l have seen
more drunk people than when
the saloons were open. That
has nothing to do with the BUSH
ness of the town, however.
Every body appears to be in a
hurry, and the streets were
crowded at all times with peo-
pie and teams. l have been busy
poking around and getting things

PIONEER DAYS IN MISSOURI.

In 1851 there was in Huntsville a
man who pulled teeth for rs cents,
and a Photographer who made da-
guerreotypes at $3.50 each. The
first was called doctor" and the
second professor. They moved in
the highest circles, as being repre-
sentatives of the sciences and arts.
With deer, birds and all manner Of
game in the woods and fine fish in
the streams, SO cheap that the poor
est larders were stocked with it, the
grocers did a big business in mack
erel, herring and sardines. The lat
ter were real dainties, because the
better food was so plentiful the pio-
neers got tired of it.-Macon Repub-

Mr.. David could not be called
stupid. He was rather slow, and,
added to this deficiency, his tongue
had way of getting mixed up. Not
every one understood this, and as a
result the poor fellow got into many
complications. One day he was
making perfunctory call on lady
with whom he had little in common.
He got up to go.

much, Mr.. David" said the lady. 81

Halloween Party

Mr.. and Mrs. Chef Hu1burt
entertained the mem bers of the
Christian Endeavor society with
"a Halloween party Thursday
evening of last week. It was a
real old time all saints night party
attended by ghosts, hobgoblins
and spirits in ancient style. The
guests were welcomed at the
front door by two attendants in
white who silently motioned them
to the different cloak rooms. On
the upper floor two other spirits
took them in hand directing them
to the parlor by the back stairs
on the way down they fell over
the cliff of despair however
allghtlng safely, when death as
doorkeeper with cold, clammyand
icy hand welcomed them into
warmth and light. Here cheer
and merriment held sway with
gracious hand. Suddenly, un-
announced a spirit entered and
gave a very realistic ghost dance.
Some of the younger ones caught
this ghost, when it at once ma
teraliZed into Mrs. Fuhr. Later
pumpkin pie, cakes, doughnuts
and nuts and other refreshments
were served. The whole was a
very entertaining evening, some
thing pleasant was doing all of
the time.

The Preponderance OF Public
Sentiment

John Callan O'Laughlin, the
Chicago Tribune's Washington
correspondent, who has been out
in the states of the central west
for his paper, sums up and con-
c1udes series of articles on the
political situation in this region
with these remarks:
At the present time the insur-
gents have the upper hand so far
as the preponderence of public
sentiment in the middle western
states is conc erned. The large
proportion of independent voters
is behind them. The later do
not see that the Democratic party
offers them any hope of full relief
from the evils to which they OBJ
ject. They are emphatically OPP
posed to old line Republicanism
as exemplified in their minds by
A1drich and Cannon. Therefore
they are in a waiting attitude,
with, as stated, their sentiment
backing insurgency.
If the Republican party is to
retain the support of these men,
my investigation establishes, it
must heed their demand for the
enactment of the progressive pol
icies which the election of Pres
ident Taft promised.
That is fair summing up, judg-
ing from conditions hereabouts.
The Meade County News de-
voted considerable space last
week to sketches and items of
historical interest concerning the

THE OPEN TROUT SEASON.

Fishermen should bear in mind tina.
it is now contrary to law to fish in
waters inhabited by trout except dur
ing the open season for trout fishing
Under the old law it was possible to
fish for suckers in trout streams dur
ing the close season as there was no
penalty unless it could be shown that
trout were caught. The privilege was
so much abused however, and so
many trout were taken illegally that
the law was changed and there is now
a penalty for fishing or attempting to
fish in trout waters at any time ex-
cept when trout fishing is permitted.
1t is now also against the law to
catch or have in ones possession over
six pounds of brook trout in one day.
! The old law allowed the taking of ten
pounds Including having in poss-
ession" is designed to make the law
more easily enforced, as under the
old law, fishermen if they had over
the ten pound limit would claim that
part were caught the day before.
The other changes in the trout fish
ing laws are not important. The pen
atty for fishing for hire or for selling
trout is made a little more severe and
the wording is changed so as to be
more easily enforced. Fish wardens
are given some additional powers, be-
ing now allowed to get out warrants
on their own complaint and to serve
warrants for fish and game law viola
tions.
The trout open season remains the
same as before, from May Is to Aug
ust Is, except in Windham county
where the open season is April Is to
July 10. This, it will be seen gives
them no longer season in that county,
merely opening it and closing it a
month earlier. II this change proves
a success in Windham county it is
likely to become general state law
in two years Fishermen will there
fore watch results in Windham coun.
ty this year and next with special in.
