NEW COUNTY OFFICIALS
All Sworn In and Have Entered
Upon Their New Terms Of
Office.
There are few changes at Court
House; a number of the county
officials having been reelected,
and in our rounds Monday after
noon, with few exceptions, we
were greeted by familiar faces.
Probate Judge ]. V. Chase has en-
tered upon his second term Of OF
flee with the new year, with Will
Fisher his deputy. The affairs OF
this office will no doubt be con-
Quoted in the same efficient and
satisfactory manner during the
ensuing four years that has
characterized Judge Chase's
past administration. Recorder J..
b. lester took the oath of office
Monday morning and took posses
sion. The gentleman is not a
stranger in the Recorders office,
having been Mr.. Swisher's
deputy during his eight years Of
service and is no doubt well
qualified and knows perfectly
every detail Of the business. His
daughter, Miss Alberta Jester is
his deputy and it is the general
opinion that she will fill the Of
flee as acceptably as her aunt,
Miss Lula Jester, now Mrs. Frank
Boyd, who it is said made one Of
the finest deputies the office has
ever had. She was in the office
during the administration OF the
late Mike Sandidge. The present
deputy is a young lady of strong
character and very capable and
painstaking and her penmanship
is finely adapted to the work.

WOULD PUZZLE ANY SOLOMON
Pennsylvania Judge Finally Decides
That Goose Must Be Cooked and
Divided Between Two Women.

Wilkes-B Barre, PA dispute over
the ownership of goose was settled
the other day by Aid. John F. Dono-
hue. who is famous locally for his
common sense adjustments Of law
suits
Mrs. Alice Kreiger of Shickshinny
charged Mrs. Louis Pelinus with the
theft of a goose. Each woman claimed
the goose had belonged to her ever
since 1t was Matched, and the evidence
on both sides was of equal weight
WELL" said the alderman, after puz'
cling over the case, there is but one
way to settle 1t. Each of you women
will go rome, will get your flock and
each bring one here. Then you will
place the ganders on opposite sides
of the courtroom and the goose in
the middle and let her choose to which
flock she belongs.
"Of course" he added, there Is the
danger of her being fiirt"
The women objected to this plan
because 1t involved an outlay in rail-
road fare of more than the value of
the goose.
Then" declared the alderman, "the
defendant is sentenced to take the
goose home, kill 1t, divide 1t exactly In
half, and give one half to the prose-
cutrix."

left it in the cigar store he regularly

had expected Daggleberry in any day.
Daggleberry paid the messenger boy

this time as the result of a careful
plot. Daggleberry had a friend who

with his friend, and just as they were
parting pressed the cane upon him
and said:

pleased. Three days later the cane

Three Years, Makes Her

While it, of course, would not rise
1000 feet above the street level. 1t
would double the height of the great
est skyscraper now existing and serve
to demonstrate the value OF buildings
Of heights never before attempted.
While the increasing value OF real
estate makes height prime consldera-
tiol, the problem of transportation IN
such building would be a serious
one. The only legal height restriction
at present is that no structure shall
have weight of more than Is tons to
the square foot, and 1000 foot high,
200 foot square building would come
within this limit.

it, for a while at least.

ORIGIN OF A SONG
History of "The Little Brown
Church in the Vale"
Touching Little Ditty Composed by
an Iowa Physician Fifty Years
Ago Has Since Been Sung
Around the World.

Des Moines, Towa.-Not SO very
long ago the writer attended a great
religious convention. Thee were
thousands of people in attendance.
There were great speeches and great
singing. The influence of this great
meeting was so inspiring that hun
dreds of men marched the streets with
banners bearing appropriate notices.
Nearly every convention has favor
tie song The favorite song at this
convention was, THE Little Brown
Church in the Vale" and 1t was sung
with an enthusiasm that would make
any one want to come to the church
In the wildwood or anywhere else
where a church might be located
The town of Bradford, Iowa, has to
do with the history of the song. The
homes in this little village, as easter
ners would call it, are of the New Eng
land type and shelter class of people
who stand for moral, Intellectual and
religious development
In 1859 or 1960-or thereabouts-
the good people of Bradford resolved
to build a church where they might
worship God and teach their children
the Importance of Christian living and
Christian service. The times were
close and the people were poors but,
being masters of circumstances and
not their abject slaves" they con-
quered the hard times and their pow
erty by donations of stone, lumber,
hardware, paint, and labor. The Con
gregational Church Building Society
came forward with generous dona-
ton of money, and the little brown
church was ready fec dedication with
out debt
A little to the south of Bradford
lies the little town of Fredericksburg
In this little town, surrounded by one
of the most fertile farming regions In
the world, lived a physician, w. S
Pitts. He was born in New York, re
ceived his degree from Rush Medical
