The rest of the Turner family
were mystified. But Bill Turner
and Pa Turner carried out Ma
Turner's instructions and in half
an hour the cherry bureau was
out in front, looking pretty sick.
The Turner family lived on an
old farm that had gradually
grown nearer and nearer the city
and in front was a smooth road
over which many automobiles
passed.
An hour before noon there was
knock at the front door. Ma
Turner smiled, rolled down her
sleeves and went to the door,
There stood city man clad in

OAKLAND, April 25.-Joaquin
Miller, Bard of California" "Poet
of the Sierras," has gone to his
lonely retreat in the Berkeley Hills
to die.
After a separation of many years
his wife and his daughter, Juanita,
are with him to care for him in his
last hours.
Recently the aged poet fell sick
and for many days, while he lay
In hospital here, his life was
despafred of. His daughter has
tened from New York to nurse
him. Under her care the poet
rallied. When her father seemed
to be gaining In strength, the
daughter went again to New York
and Immediately returned with
Mrs. Miller.
Then, after two months in the
hospital, Miller was taken to
"Juanita Cottage" the retreat
which he had built with his own
hands in the heights overlooking
the Pacific.

many years of misunderstanding

RED CLIFF, Col. April 25.-
Up in a little mining camp, $500
feet up, on the western slope of
the Rockies, just over the crest OF
the continental divide, is the one
woman county judge In the United
states, Mrs. Lydia Berkeley Tague
of the county court of Eagle coun-
ty, Colorado.
Her husband was Judge Peter
Tague. When he died a month ago
from miners consumption, con-
tracted in the mines at Leadville
early In the 70's, the county COM
missioners gave to her his place on
the bench.
Her father was Judge Berkeley of
Boulder county. 49-er. She was
born In Boulder. Her earliest
memory Is that of going over to
the old courthouse and hearing her
father try cases. 1t was then that
she decided that to be a judge
was the one thing most to be de-
sired when she grew up.
And now, after some 40 odd
years, she still holds the same

er, so he went to sleep.
When he awoke the door was
closed and he was prisoner.
Loudly he buzzed for his mamma,
but she thought he was lost.
Next morning the flowers pet
ais opened again and poor, naugh-
ty, frightened Buzz-Wings few
quickly home. His mamma, after
listening to his story, told him he
must have been locked in a NOM
ing glory. That was one of the
very reasons she had not wan.ed
him to go further than Big

Mrs. Tague isn't quite sure
whether a woman can make as
good Judge as a man. Eagle
county hasn't any doubts about
the matter. Mrs. Tague thinks that
women go too much by intuition;
that they are too easily prejudiced
and inclined to take sides. Eagle
county says that the judge is a
trifle modest.
People call her "the common
sense Judge" because, they say, It

Her Honor" Knows Little Law But She Has Plenty
of Common Sense and a Strong Liking for Justice
Judge Tague Relieves


That the best thing in the
world is to be the mother of
five children---and the next
best Is to live in Eagle coun-
ty and be the county judge.
That women should vote to
maintain their self-respect.
That women would make
better judges and jurors IL
they possessed less sympathy
and more fairness.
That fewer lawyers, less
law and more justice, would
be a desirable thing.
That judges who know
enough to be judges ought to
know enough to keep out of
trouble and If they don't,
they haven't any business be-
ing judges.
And lastly, Judge Tague be-
lieves that II you are the boss,
why you should be the boss!

That was her comment on the re-
