the short corn crop had its compensa-

thrifty farmers who few years ago
had cause to complain of poverty. The
improving comforts of rural life and
the great financial independence are
broadening the intelligence Of the

A KENTUCKY JUDGE.
How He Passed Out Justice in
the Blue Grass State.

Down in Allen county, Kentucky,
there has just died Judge whose
judgment and DEGREES appear to have
been guided by a brain as luminous
as the sun and tempered by heart
as warm as its beams. His name was
Nathan Skaggs. He lived in obscur-
ity and never sought for fame. So
little was known of him down in Ken
lucky, that when he died, a cores
pondent of the Courier-Journal said:
He was for many years guide at
Mammoth Cave Thereupon one
who knew him wrote to say that al
though Judge Skaggs lived for rs
years within thirty miles of Mammoth
Cave, he never went to see it.
"But the writer goes on to say
Judge Skaggs was worthy and upright,
deserving of high repute, though not
eminent as iurist. We are told:
The most ardent admirer of this
blunt man would scarcely assert he
was possessed Of either legal knowl-
edge or training, yet his bitterest
enemy, would not have questioned
his integrity He appears to have
dispensed good, sound justice in dis
pensing with legal formalities. His
biographer says:
GAS evidence of his determination
ofpurpose he flatly refused once to is
sue license to the late Jim Harrison,
of New Roe, to retail liquor, and his
decision from the bench, while never
classed among the classics, still pos
sessed the saving grace of brevity,
and was not susceptible of miscon-
struction. 1t was: Perhaps, under
the law as it now exists on the statute
books, license should be granted in
this case, but hogs will have horns
