to the Constitution and the schedule
is:
1. That general elections shall be
held only in even numbered years;
2. After the municipal election
which was held in February, 1910,
the municipal elections Will be held
only in add numbered years;
3. That the judges of the courts
of the several judicial districts are
to be elected only at the municipal
elections. The reference in Amnd-
ment Eight to special elections to
fill unexpired terms has no applica-
tion to these judges, who are elect
ed for full terms of service, wheth-
er their predecessors in Office had
served full terms or not;
4. No election can be held under
these amendments, at which these
judges can be elected until the
municipal election in November,
1911;
g. The terms of all judges of the
courts of the several judicial dis
tricts, holding Office at the date of
the approval of the amendments
November 2, 19O9-whose terms will
expire in 1911, will continue to
hold their offices until the first
Monday of January, 1912.
Alonzo T. Searle held the office
of Judge for the 22nd Judicial Dis
trict on November 2, 1909, the date
when the smendments were adopted
! by the people at the general cleo
tion held on that day, and | am of
opinion that, by virtue of the last
clause of the schedule, he will con-
tinue to hold that office until the
/ first Monday of January, 1912, and
/ his successor will be elected at the
municipal election held in Noyem-
Der, 1911. This opinion will extend
! to all other judges of judicial dis
tricts whose terms will expire in
| 1911.
l am also of opinion that the
schedule has the effect of continu-
| ing such judges in office without any
other or further commission, but,
| inasmuch as the absence of a COM
mission might be made the basis of
objection to the right of such judges
to exercise the judicial function dur
! ing the extended year. | am furth-
er of opinion that a commission
! should be issued to them, to expire
on the first Monday of January
/ 1912, and that the records of your
Office should be examined, the
names of such judges ascertained
and commissions issued to them ac.
cordingly.
In answer to your second inquiry
l am of opinion that no judge car
be elected at the general election
held in November, 1910, and thai
this applies as well to judges who
hold their Office by election as tC
those appointed by the Governor.

q was never so sorely disappointed in any one before," said Horatio Pas savant pathetically to Clara after re- counting to her the complete collapse of fortune that had come to Wilfrid Stennis.
 Will he have nothing at all?" in- quired Miss Passavant, the money, as usual, uppermost in her mind
 Under the will he could legally hold on to all, but if Miss Trevecca chose to contest she could probably break it, seeing that the instrument was executed under a total misappre hension on the part of the testator But Stennis insists upon relinquish- ing everything-quite quiXotically. as l told him; but he is obdurate. He says it is what Andrew Meleen would have wished. and declares he is going to earn his own living once more.'
 q admire him for that" said Clara, with a half-sigh.
 What shall you do, my dear?" in quired the lawyer anxiously.
 You must take me away to Europe at once, papa; it will be all over town in 24 hours, and I will not permit my self to be commiserated or made the recipient of polite condolences"
 Perhaps that would be the best thing assented the old worldling. "Carboy is coming on, and l can get him to take charge of the office for awhile"
 Clara had her way, as usual, and thus escaped much of the gossip anent the breaking-off of the mar riage. A year later she married a Russian count twice her age, and New York society knew her no more.
 It was even as lawyer PassavaDt had said Wilfrid chivalrously refused to touch another dollar of Andrew Meleen's money!
 The interview between him and Eunice Trevecca, though very brief, was touching and a trying one Acting on one of those boyish im- pulses which will never leave him. and actuated by an exalted idea of making restitution and doing penance. he rode and walked straight to Mac dougal street after leaving Roger HeWs.

"One funny thing l have learned about human nature" said the drug store cashier, lis the habit many peo- pie have of marking their own name in the city directory. They do that be- cause the directory is the only place where their name ever gets into print and it has such a fascination for them that they can't resist calling attention to it. A funny old man who likes to talk tells me that he has made spe- cial trips to different parts of the city just to mark his name in the direc- tories of the neighborhood. He puts little cross in red ink before it. 1 asked him what good it did. He said none possibly, although he is teach CT of languages and may get a few calls on account of that queer adver- tisement.
 But his is an exceptional case. Not many persons spend time and money in hunting city directories, but every time they happen to see a new one they can't help looking up their name and putting some kind of mark around it."

marriage to her mother was illegal, Andy bein' alive all the time.''
 During this interesting recital some things became clear to Stennis.
 Presumably you found out all this when, as you told me, you were sent east after my uncle's death?"
 Some of it-not all" admitted Hews with cheerful candor.
 "Why did not you acquaint the law yers with the true state of affairs?"
 Well, you see" replied Hews, with another knowing wink, "at that time l only suspicioned certain things meant to work up the case later. If the fact turned out to be as l thought, it looked as though good thing might be made out of it"
 Meaning to turn it to account with me afterwards?' inquired Stennis.
 "Sure!" was the unabashed answer, now that his unsuspected plot to mar ry Eunice had ignominiously failed.
 Silence ensued, both men being busy with their thoughts; Hews looked TOT q QulCk anu easy Cdplluldlioh' HI length Wilfrid spoke again:
 How much time will you allow me to consider this proposal of yours" he inquired composedly.
 Time? Why how much time do y want? Not a day, not an hour! It's take it or leave it, now or never!'
 "I rather think I'll leave it, MT Hews," drawled Wilfrid, a half-smile lifting one corner of his tawny mus tache.
 You'll never do it!" exclaimed the astounded and mortified Hews.
 "Won't I?" queried Stennis. You have made one grand mistake, MT Hews: You took me for as big rogue as yourself! A fool l may be, but not that! Why, you despicable villain, do you imagine 1 would conspire with such a rat as you to defraud woman, a motherless girl and she my own flesh and blood?'
 The tempter stared at the tempted in blank dismay. That any one with a sane head on his shoulders should re- ject such a plain business proposition passed the moral comprehension of Roger Hews-a man without con- science.

A Boston lady who found herself trying to eat stones when she thought she was eating bread, and who incl, dentally broke one good tooth and a set of false ones. Is suing the baker for damages.

 But Stennis, if he heard them, paid no attention to the words; his brain was busy taking in the full signifi- canoe of this amazing climax to the strange disclosures of the day, the truth of which he could no longer doubt. However this was no time for connected thinking; the main thing was to let the truth be known at once
 He went to the door and unlocked it, then turned to the crestfallen Hews with these words:
 "Oblige me by immediately taking your story and your proofs to MT. Pas savant. He will not value your infor- nation quite as extravagantly as you do, but he will doubtless pay you something for your trouble. As for Miss Trevecca-I shall have the pleas ure of breaking the news to her my self"
