JUDGE BREWERS WISH
He Wanted to Be Legislator Instead
of Judicial Odicer.

Chicago, March 21.-"Had 1t not
been for a little incident during his
days as a struggling young lawyer in
Kansas, David J. Brewer might have
died a politician instead of a member
Of the United States supreme court, -
said BENJAMIN D. Mcguire, former
member of the Illinois state supreme
court. speaking reminiscently of the
late Justice Brewer with whom he was
graduated from Yale in the class
of Sc.
"Mr. Brewer while at college was
noted for jumping up on the slightest
provocatfon IT, make a speech, especial
ly on political lines,'' continued Mr..
Mcguire. " I want to be a legislator;
I care nothing about judicial career
Mr.. Brewer has often said. This was
his ambition when, few years after
he located at Leavenworth, Republic
can county convention was held in
1863. Mr.. Brewer let it be known that
he wanted to go to the legislature.
Failing to receive the nomination,
he hurried from the convention bitter
ly disappointed. After he left num-
Der of friends suggested his name for
probate judge and he was nominated.
He said he would not accept it.
Finally. rather than make another
convention necessary, he agreed to be-
come a candidate. He not only was
elected for that term but was re-elect-
ed in 1864

EMPLoYEs GIVEN BIG RAISE.
Philadelphia & Reading Increase An
Wages Under $500 a Month.

Philadelphia, March 31.-Following the
lead of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany which has just given a 6 per cent
wage increase to 195, 900 employees on all
railroads connected with its vast sys-
tenn east and west of Pittsburg. came
an announcement from the officers of
the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
company late this afternoon of a sim
liar advance in wages to its men.
Like that of the Pennsylvania the
Readings increase affects all employees
who receive less than $500 a month
The Readings advance, however, does
not include those employees whose
wages have been adjusted in the last
80 days. From time to time during the
last three months the Reading has ad-.
justed wages of certain classes of
trainmen and other employees. Includ-
ing these the increase announced today
affects about 81 900 employees.
The general prosperous condition of
the railroads and the high cost of Iiv-
ing are given as the reasons for the in
crease announced by both companies.

WILL CUT GRAIN RATES.
Grand Trunk Determined to Prevent
Diversion of Traffic.

Chicago, ILL.,. March 31.-Officials
of the Grand Trunk have decided, in
order to meet the competition when
the new rates on grain from Buffalo
to New York made by the American
railroads go in May 1, to put in effect
equally low rates, so that the rail
and water rates on Canadian grain
to Montreal will be as low as by any
American route. The reduced rates
are a result of the contest over rates
in which the Grand Trunk lines refus-
ed to reduce it's differential when the
Eastern trunk lines endeavored to
force this on the differentiaI lines.
Every pressure was brought to bear,
including a threat on the part of GER
tain trunk lines, to cut rates on west
bound business to Chicago.
While sufficient pressure was

MAKING LOVE IN PORTUGAL
Chief Point Of Difficulty Is Getting
sHe Admitted to the Presence Of
ii the Fair One.

The most important event in the
life Of a Portuguese woman is mar
riage. Next in Importance are the
early days of courtship, for Portu-
guese courtship is the essence of ro-
nance, and the ways of the Portu-
guese lover are singularly picturesque.
Here is little drama in which Cupid
is stage director If young Portu-
guese sees in the street pretty girl
with whom he would like to become
acquainted, he follows her. Chaperons
are not impossible distractions. He
follows her right up to her very door
and notes the address. Next day he
comes again, and If the young lady ap-
proves of him-for she certainly saw
him the day before-she is on the
lookout
Sometimes hard fate in the guise of
an angry parent prevents her, and
then the gallant youth is kept wait
ing. Sooner or later she leans over
the balcony and smiles at him. The
happy youth ties note to cord
which the fair lady drops from the
balcony. The next day the young man
comes again This time he rings at
the door. If the inquiries which the
young lady's elders have made prove
satisfactory, the swain is admitted to
make the acquaintance of the young
lady. After that, courtship in Portugal
is about the same as it is in Kankakee
or Kalamazoo.-Leslie's Weekly.

HOW THE WORLD HAS MOVED
Less Than Century Ago Railroads
and the Telegraph Were Deemed
ImposslbIiities.

Alexander Wells, an old citizen of
Wellsville, o., has copy of an inter-
esting and novel document issued by
the school board of the town of Lam
caster, o., in 1928. The question of
steam railroads was in its incipient
stage and a club of young men had
been formed for the purpose of dis
cussing the points at issue. They de-
sired the use of the schoolhouse for
purposes of debate. This was looked
upon by the members of the board as
an innovation bordering upon sac
rilege, as indicated, which is the docu-
ment in the possession of Mr.. Wells.
1t reads as follows:
You are welcome to the use of the
schoolhouse to debate all proper ques-
tons in, but such things as railroads
and telegraphs are impossibilities and
rank infidelity There is nothing in
the Word of God about them. If God
had designed that his intelligent
creatures should travel at the fright
full speed of Is miles an hour, by
steam, he would clearly have foretold
it through his holy prophets. It is a
device of Satan to lead immortal souls
down to hell"
Such sentiments possibly reflected
the feeling, to some extent, in the
days of IS years ago, but they sound
strange at the present time, when the
device of Satan" is daily carrying
people over the land at the rate of so
or 70 miles an hour. The world has
progressed somewhat since 1928.

The UNIQUE Rat.

From letters received it would seem
possible to make out quite case for
the rat. Not only has he served as
food-Dr. Kane on his polar expedi-
tiop attributed his comparative i'm
munity to scurvy to the soup made
from the rats his servant shot with a
bow and arrow-but Mr. Frank Buck
land has suggested that their skins
are eminently suitable for glove-ma-
king. At any rate, rat skins have
sometimes been used as clothing, for
we read of a lady at Glasgow who had

were as soft as the finest kid. while
by way of a freak complete suit Of
rat skin was once made by Cornish
