of William Allen White, when he was
charged with the conduct of country
paper in Iowa, he one day received a
call from an indignant contributor
who bitterly complained that matter

prise to the general reader to learn
that the petticoat was first worn ex-
clusively by men. In the reign Of King
Henry VII. the dress Of the English
was so fantastic and absurd that it
was difficult to distinguish one sex
from the other. In the inventory OF
Henry v. appears q. "petticoat Of red
damask, with open sleeves" There is
no mention of a woman's petticoat be-
fore the Tudor period.

Ginseno's Growth.

The manner OF the ginseng's growth
gives it queer shape and in some
cases fabulous value. There is first
u ulain root or trunk. Then on the
sides there vii, he smaller roots, one
on a side. and by curious formation
the ottshoQts resemble arms and legs,
so that the full grown ginseng looks
for the world like human figure.
The more the fancied likeness to the
human tor.n is developed the, greater
the value. according to some of the
Chinese. The root as an, herb has
wonderful properties, but too. so
much beyond IL the value of one that
looks human. The others will cure
cancers atd all sorts of other diseases.

One of the greatest plays ever
seen in Spokane was at the Auditor
ium last night. And it was a shame
that about 80 per cent of the house
was composed of people from out
of town, who are visiting Spokane
this week. "The City" is a play
which would deeply interest every
body here.
Norman Hackett's apostrophe to
"The City" is superb. 1t was made
in answer to George Rand's moth
er's assertion that the family never
should have come to the city to live,
but should have stayed in the coun-
try, where they could have held
their own. Hackett, as Rand. de-
clared that the city is not an evil.
1t is great reality which forces

GET BACK TO
SOIL FEELING

The "get back to the soil"
feeling received new impetus
this week in Spokane because
of the presence of the Dry
Farming congress. The man
who has had a luking desire
to some day own a quarter Sec
ton of the public domain and
has ben SO fortunate as to be
able to attend the sessions of
the congress has felt the long
ing to return to nature grow
stronger within his SOUL
After all, the farmers life
is the most Independent on
earth, even if he is forced to
work hard and keep long hours
at times. The increased cost
of living has lessened mate
rally the savings of the city
man, particularly the wage
Garner, and the farm is looked
upon as the best solution of the
problem.

he was booked as a witness.
He did not know that he had to
appear against the thief, SO did not
show up at the station again, and
the case was continued from time
to time owing to the absence Of the
complaining witness.
Last Friday Dysart was arrested
and thrown into Jail as a witness
in the case, and when the police
shifts changed that night the man
on the day shift had neglected tc
book him, and the man who took
the night shift did not even know
that Dysart was in Jail.
Therefore Dysart had to lie in
jail until the police accidentally
discovered that he was there. BY
this time the case had been tried
and Oldham had been sentenced tC
serve 10 days for the robbery.

Dysart had to serve because he

DECISION DAY in
THE SUPREME COURT

ing his voice down to nothing after the
first three words; Justice McKenna
has a weak voice, despite his efforts to
enunciate clearly, and even Justice
Holmes, who has strong enough voice
with Boston accent) takes delight in
verbal intricacies that are hard to fol-
low
But this is only one of the troubles
of the newspapermen. The supreme
court is a stickler for tradition, pro-
cedure, and forms, and it would never
do to favor the press. Therefore, the
correspondents must arrange to get
along without advance copies of opin-
ions. There is a Slight concession to
press associations, the representatives
of which are assigned seats directly in
front of the bar, and given pages who
carry their copy to messengers out
side the court room.
Naturally, the members Of the
court are the foremost legal techni-
clans in the country. Their opinions are
directed toward clearing abstruse le-
gal situations. Therefore it happens
that the correspondents who, il they
were legal sharps, wouldn't be in the
newspaper game, have hard time of it
ascertaining just what is meant by
such and such a decision.
1t is not safe for the reporter to send
out q bulletin" or a Flash" regarding

WASHINGTON, March 12.-It is
interesting to watch how industriously
Assoc late Justice Horace H Lurton is
working to earn his $4,000 salary.
The newest member of the supreme
court of the United States took the
bench on Janury 8, and he had not been
on the job seven weeks before he had
rendered opinions in seven important
cases-one- fifth of the number of cases
argued in that time. Three of these
were in the famous cotton leak" liti-
CATION, a complex controversy which
has dragged through the courts for two
years and accumulated additional OBJ
smurity with every move.
Justice Lurton takes his work Sc
riously. He remains wide-awake during
the entire day, listens attentively TO
arguments made by counsel, and shows
his interest by frequent questioning.
Not all of his colleagues are as strenu-
ous-tw at least spend a goodly part
of the day quietly snoozing.
The newspaper men who "cover" the
court breathed a sigh of relief when
the new justice cleared his throat and
started in on his maiden opinion-his
enunciation was distinct and his SEN
fences audible throughout the court
room. That is a rare quality OF the
other justices there are only three who
have really good speaking vo.ces-Jus-
tees Moody, Day and Holmes. The
rest keep the newspapermen on edge
to catch what they are saying. Chief
Justice Fuller, who is almost eighty
years OF age has a voice inaudible Is
feet from the bench; Justice Brewer is
nearly as difficult to understand JUS
tice Harlan warns up only when deeid-
ing very important case or one in
which he has felt the necess 'ty for dis.

lion; Justice White has a trick of be-
