LIST at this time Judge Everett L.
.,tertield. former resident of this

,o.iding Judge In the trial of the case
',me state of Missouri VS.. Hyde, for
y. murder of the late Col. Thomas H
s.one in Kansas City. His boyhood
t,ieods are especially gratified at the
Indce,s good fortune at this par
ocular time in becoming a grand
hther
We clip the following from the Kan
as City Journal;
When Judge E. e. Porterfield dis
missed court for the week end at the
nrheard of hour of O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, he took the jury somewhat
;pto his confidence when he explained
that il was "because Of business-of u
,rvate nature, you understand. Moth
\ q tn do with the b. Clark Hyde
SCI Then without waiting for the
,ieux of four or five lawyers who
pslefed around him for the purpose,
he left-left hastily, as he had adjourn
cd couIt, nor stood on the order of his
going.
What's the matter? Family sick?'
asked the court room nuisance elbow
ing his way through the crowd of his
brother and sister regulars, to the at
torney's table.
ave don't KNOW" the lawyers re-
Piled in chorus, someone adding naive
ly: "Guess he plumb tired out with
our objections. ="
This was not the reason, however.
Nearly month and half of quib-
bling in the Hyde case has made the
Judge practically immune to such pet
ty worries, Somehow, in few minutes
the news came that Judge Porterfield
had walked from that room grand
father in all the glorious significance
of the woodland he had never been
one before! Actually!
"Why didn't he wait and tell us
about it?" querried Former Judge w.
T. Johnson, laughing in his beard.
Probably he didn't think of it,"
speculated Senator James A. Reed.
Ana The lawyers went their separate
ways smiling to themselves and dis
the COURTS good fortune.

minus the gray hairs"
they say. "Was it boy? Oh, yes,
that's wi at it was. Well, we'll"
Word had been brought to Judge
fe W econds before he dis
missed court that his son, Edward
and his wife, of 1904 Ben
ton Boulevard, had become parents to
a ten-pound boy. The judge stated last
night that he was distinctly glad Of it..
Edward E. Porterfield, Jr, father Of
the boy who worked the miracle of an
early Adjournment, is in the insurance
business. He was married on January
II, last, to Miss Marguerite Hughes.

Red Cross Christmas Seals date back
In their origin to ncharity stamps"
first used for the soldiers relief funds
In Boston in 1872, during the Civil
war. After the war, this method of
raising money was discontinued in this
country for generation, although it
found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland,
Austria, France, Spain, Denmark,
Norway, Russia, Sweden and other
European countries. There are now
several hundred different types of
charity stamps used in all parts of the
world, as many as forty being used in
Austria for chlldren's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. After beng used in these coun-
tries for three years, as direct result
of the interest Of Jacob Riis in this
movement, the Delaware Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association, headed by Miss
Emily P. Bissell, and the Red Cross
Society Of Delaware, combined in is-
suing n tuberculosis Stamp. 30 sue
cessful was this campaigC that nearly
$4,000 was realized, and the next year,
in 1908, the American Red Cross was
induced to issue National Red Cross
Tuberculosis Stamp. From this sale,
Sl35,000 was realized, that amount be-
ing almost doubled in 1909. Last year,
for the first time, the sale was organ
lied on prebensive basis, taking
in all parts of the United States, and
$4,000 worth were sold. In 1911,
the slogan for the campaign is, "a
Million for tuberculosis from Red
Cross Seals"
