Teeth In Their stomaehs.

Whatever 1t may be that the lobster
and the crab. rapacious, never dainty,
are eating they always see something
else that they want and can't wait un-
Ill they have masticated the first be-
fore attacking the second. But they
don't give up the first. not by any
manner OF means. Nature. hnmoring
this rapacious bent, has fitted the lob
ster and the crab with teeth In their
stomachs, and they swallow their half
masttcated food and finish the chew
ing process with their stomachs while
they seize and chew the other thing
that has attracted them. HOLSTERS and
crabs have no teeth In their mouths.
They chew with their claws what they
have time to and hand the unfinished
job down to their stomachs to do the
rest of the chewing.

ORIGIN OF AN EXPRESSION. ON.
~lf This Court Knows Herself, and
She Thinks She Do"

We frequently hear the expression,
IF the court knows itself. and II
thinks II does" but few persons are
aware OF the origin thereof.
The individual who gave birth to II
was Pike county Missourian named
Blackburn. who flourished In the west
many years ago. Blackburn ran away
from home when he was mere boy
and sought his fortune in the west,
where he grew 10 manhood as an In
dian fighter. hunter. trapper and
mountain guide. Although not an ed
ucated man. he was possessed of great
acumen, TO which was united a keen
wit. When gold was discovered in
California. Blackburn was one of the
first 10 proceed thither. The miners
as sort OF joke elected him alcalde,
an office that combined the duties OF
mayor and justice Of the peace. The
first case coming before the new al
calde was that of n gambler who while
drunk had ridden his horse over
young Mexican woman. She was seri-
ously injured.
The trial took place in the largest
cabin in the nelghborhood The gam
bier, who was rich, had retained able
counsel to defend him. Alcade Black
burn called the young woman to the
witness stand. She told straight
forward. honest story. When she had
finished the alcalde peremptorily end
ed the trial. The attorney for the de-
PENDANT protested vigorously. but the
alcalde disposed of his protest thus:
"lf this court knows herself. and she
thinks she do. fine you $500 damages
and assess upon you the cost OF putin
this young woman In good condition"
When asked what he meant by
good condition" the alcalde replied
that the gambler must pay the doctors

NO DEFICIT TO
BE TOLERATED
GOVERNOR, AUDITOR GENERAL
AND FlNA NCE COMMITTEE
ARE WORKING ON THE
STATES BUDGET.

Lansing, Mich. Feb. 2S.-Because of
the necessity OF cutting down spec
ial appropriations until the state is
once more on it's feet financially many
OF the institutions which are really
sadly In need of additional buildings
and other improvements will have to
wait for two years.
The biggest special appropriation
asked and which will not be allowed
is that of Senator John Leidlein of
Saginaw for highway purposes. His
bill or bills, which provide whole
new system OF highway construction,
calls for special appropriation of
preparation will be cut off i'm its en-
tirety.
The next biggest one is that of the
University of Michigan for a total of
$S50,000. Most of this will be refused.
The Soldiers Home board asks for
s201,25O for current expenses and $685.
900 for a new dormitory and $500 for
q bakery. The committee on Soldiers
home has already reported on this
matter and cuts the current expenses
to a fiat 100000. cuts off the dormitory
entirely and allows $500 for the bakery.
Same Treatment to All.
The Ypsilanti normal school which
asks $4,000 for new buildings will
have to struggle along without IL this
year and Alpena which asks an APP
preparation for a normal school will be
left IN air for this session of the leg
islature at least.
Senator Collins of Bay county is
working hard for an appropriation
for the establishing of a school for
crippled children and Bay City has
rendered the site to the state. Nobody
denies but that such an institution
would be worth while, but with the
fiances OF the state i'm it's present con-
dition 1t is extremely doubtful If any
new institutions will be authorized this
year.
Michigan cannot afford this year
to be even liberal i'm its special APP
14oDr.G ions" says Auditor General
Fuller. I'VE have been living under a
false economy for the last ten years
This idea of having a million dollars
deficit every year is wrong in prin-
ciple and wrong i'm practice. The Leg
lisature this year should be reasonably
liberal in its appropriations for the
current expenses and the institutions
should be forced to live within what is
allowed them. There is no sense i'm
being stingy in the matter of current
expenses and then having a lot of def
icits to make up. but when it comes
to big special appropriations, we must
hold down to the bone this year.
