County Attorney Richard Funck,
and N. J. Palmer, clerk of court of
Cass county.
Mr.. Funck made a statement of
the case to Judge Stanton, and said
that he had decided, af ter fully in
vestigatine the case, that Johnson
should be dealt with leniently, and
as the latter was willing to plead
guilty to less serious charge, which
statement was accepted, and Judge
Stanton sentenced Johnson to serve
a term of ten days in the county jail
at Walker.
Under the latest law on the sta

present at such pleading the clerk
of the court of the county in which
the crime was committed, for the

Mr.. Palmer was present.

Their chief difference is in the style of archi-
lecture and the size of the purse of the owner.
There is one, however, which breaks all the
traditions Of Newport cottage architecture. No
great architect designed it and sculptor en-
deavored to chisel cunnngly upon its front a
design symbolical of the simple life led by the
owner. A carpenter to all appearances, was de-
signer as well as builder and the only stone
worker a wall builder. 1t may have cost
the lordly sum of $4,000 but it does not look it.

There is nothing palatial about it, however, for
its chief apartment, the living room, is simply
furnished with wicker chairs, plain tables and
modest escritoire. Two modest sleeping rooms
complete the equipment for the entertainment of
its owner and his friends. Although the living
is rich, there is nothing else about this simple
building to suggest the garish lobster palace

This little building, set back only a few yards
from the well known Ocean Drive, is visited by
its owner for three or four days in August each
year while the fleet Of the New York Yacht Club

FOR THE CHILDREN
Japan's Doll Festival.

The feast Of dolls is one Of the most
popular festivals in Japan. and the
girls in this fairylike country look for
ward to it from year to year. 1t be-
gins on March 8 and lasts for a whole
week. and during this time the chill
dren visit each others house, to drink
innumerable cups of scented tea and
eat many sweetmeats. as we'll as to
admire the wonderful dolls.
Many Of these dolls are kept in the
go-down, or family storeroom, where
the choicest treasures are laid by and
are never seen except when their fes-
tival approaches. and they are brought
out by the proud little maidens to
whom they belong and arranged in
groups so as to form pictures. There
are grand court ladies in flowing kimo-
los of gorgeous hues and dear little
dancing girls with painted faces and
hanging sleeves like the g~listening
wings of brilliant butterflies. Then
there are noble warriors. or samurai,
standing at guard. perhaps, by a doll
dressed up as al emperor, while out
side on the landing there will be a real
dolls garden" with the low dwarf
trees for which Japan is famous and
real goldfish swimming gayly about in
a little glass pond.

The Grand Multi.

One player stands on a stool in the
midst Of her playfellows, representing
in her own person that mysterious
grandee the grand multi.
She makes any motions which she
pleases. such as lifting her arms, e
tending her hand, signing. putting her
hand to her head, etc.-in fact, any
kind of absurd gesture-saying at the
same time. "Thus does the grand muf-
til" or $50 does the grand mufti!"
Now, these two words 'thus'' and
$50" make the game, for when she
says '"Thus does" etc., every one must
make just the same gesture or do the
same thing. But when she says $50
does the grand multi" no one must
initiate her. If any player does she
pays a forfeit.
1t requires great attention and
quickness not to get confused by the
game as it quickens and thus to make
mistakes.

might well study the career Of William
81. Moody. now retiring from the su-
preme court. Early in life he decided
to make a name for himself. and he
worked and studied night and day
with this end in view, never giving up,
although facing discouragements that
would have t1oored most men.
When a small boy Mr.. Moody drove
a milk wagon from his fathers farm
near Newbury. Mass, and while on the
road he studied at every opportunity.
He has said in later years that he
started life with the habit Of doing
something most of the time. and this
habit stood him in good stead when
he grew up. In Washington he was
recognized as u Of the most active
government officials from the time he
went there.
Young Moody finally left the pater-
nal farm to go to Phillips academy, at
Andover, where he was graduated in
1872. He got his diploma at Harvard
university four years later and then
studied law. first at Harvard and later
in the Boston Office of Richard 81.

Why, Pete.
She caressed his brindled coat, and
a strange lump came into her throat

blinked back the brightness to her eyes
and completed her task.
She wondered If Richard would come

and then tomorrow evening he would

I9cLIf4El i
n. MOODY.

The first fee he got was 81. and the
client handed it to him without ever
giving him a chance to fix the price.
To look over Mr.. Moody's varied
public services since he went to con-
gress in 1895 is to find easily the rea-
son for what at first might appear to
be favoritism. At the beginning Of
his seven years in the house he won
the friendship Of Speaker Thomas B.
Reed-Czar Reed. That gave him a
start a little quicker. perhaps. than he
would have got it otherwise. but be-
fore long his associates realized that
his mastery Of details in committee
work, his untiring energy and skill as
an orator would have put him in the
front rank anyway. Next he showed
his ability as secretary Of the navy,
from May 1. 1902. to July l. 1904. and
after that as attorney general from
July 1. 1904. to Dec. 16, 1906. when he
resigned to be appointed a supreme
court justice.
Altogether there were few men of
the Roosevelt period who were more
constantly in the public eye. 1t was
a species Of publicity. too, that ap-
pealed not only to Moody's tempera-
mental chief. but to the general public.
because Moody's almost daily en-
frances into the limelight were invari-
ably connected with one or another
Rooseveltian enterprise Of the trust
batting order. Now it was the paper
trust, now the beef trust-always it
was some trust be was attacking or
about to attack.
Many good stories are related Of the
retiring supreme court justice. among
which are the following:
On one occasion when an opponent
protested that he had been done an in
justice Mr.. Moody with quick courtesy
instructed the stenographers to furnish
an abstract of the speech to the pro-
testing member. so that the latter
might have opportunity to mark for
expurgation any Objectionable para.

When a colleague at one time doubt
ed whether Mr.. Moody's constituents
would indorse a measure he was sup
porting he replied:

shiver like a dry leaf in a November
gale whenever a protest came from
home. but to exercise my intelligence
and to vote for according to
