TALKED JUDGE OUT OF FINE
attorney Named Elias Says Something and Is AbsoIved of Contempt
 of Court

"l was up in the Panhandle cam palgning," said a Texas member at the New Willard, "and dropped into a court just as the judge had fined one of the attorneys for contempt.
 "The offending attorneys first name was Elias-it would hardly be fair to tell his other name-and he was very much disturbed at the pros pect of paying $50, the fine assessed. "He decided to try and talk him. self out of his trouble and with a penltent air said: Jedge, I regret the action of your honor. Your honor knows that gettin' $50 to- gether at one time is an awful hard Job for me. It's all l can do to SUD- port my family. 1 feel that my pun ishment is just, but I can't pay the fine. Tell you what I'll do. If the court will remit that fine I'll buy drlnk.'
 "We all thought the judge was going to send the lawyer to jail for making such a proposition, but he just looked wise and owly for few moments while he was considering the matter, then turned to the sher- if and said:

AMERICAN HAS WON HONOR.

Prof. Caspar Rene Gregory, an American who has been professor of theology of the University of Leip- zig since 1889, recently returned to this country to spend the winter, and will devote himself to lectures in the east. He is native of Philadelphia, and has been honored by degrees from the leading schools abroad. He is said to be the only American teach ing theology in any German univer- sity. At the age of sixty-fve he is as persistent and optimistic as a youth, writes much, translates good deal, and seldom wears a hat, pre- ferring to go bareheaded.

ORIGINAL WEATHER MAN.

Cleveland Abbe, who received the Symons medal from the Royal Me- neurological society of England few days ago, is the man who inaugurat- ed the daily weather report which is served with the coffee every morn- ing. In 1869 he furnished a daily report to the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, and became known as "Old Probs." Soon afterward the government took up similar work, engaging Professor Abbe as meteor ologist for the Signal Corps in 1871. He held his post for 20 years. An other of Professor Abbe's achieve ments was his report (issued in 1819) on standard time-a report that started the agitation that re- suited in the modern standard-hour meridians from Greenwich.

GEORGE HALE

There appears in this issue of the News the name of Geo. Hale as candidate for road overseer of Missouri Township. Mr. Hale needs no introduction to the peo- pie of this township in this capa- city as he has served the people acceptably and well in this of flee before. It is generally con. ceded that if there is anything Nevada County needs from a material standpoint at this time it is roads. Roads are needed and used by the people every day and night of the year and we are not spending half the money on them that we ought to spend. MT. Hale nor any one else can do what ought to be done with the funds we have to operate on, but he can work wonders with noth- ing but scrapers and graders and drags. In fact Mr. Hale did about the first effective work that was ever done on the roads of this township under the new law. When you vote for Mr. Hale for road overseer, you vote for a man who knows his busi- ness and has been tried.

PASSING of Tact.

Tact, once a bright star in the dia-
dem of virtue. has sunk into disropute
and oblivion. 1t is Incompatible with
nodernity Our blunt celebrity and
lnswervable momentum permit no re-
fnement Of method, no Chesterfeldian
lrills
Formerly when a man wished to
Gccp his seat IN a crowded car he tact
fully held his newspaper before him
or fixed his steadfast gaze upon an
imaginary dog fight two blocks back.
Now he just sits, upon his face the
brazen, unapologetic spirit Of the
twentieth century.
Formerly when a man wished to
take bride he tactfully went through
heartrending struggle. He took out
his conscience. looked it over in a
kindly way, fondled it. talked to 1t
softly and finally convinced 1t that a
bride was the best thing for 1t. In
actually receiving the bride he tact
fully made 1t plain to the bribe-giver
that he considered 1t not bride, but
a legal and moral emolument for pa
triotic services rendered Nowadays
whatever conscience he may have left
is packed In moth balls in an upstairs
closet, and he proceeds on the doc
trine that the only thing wrong about

The Left Handed Brotherhood,

Ihere has been organized in New
Jersey The Excellent Order of the
knights and Ladies' of Ehud," the
same being society OF left handlers
or "southpaws. The clergyman who
promoted the organization modestly
said that all left handed people are
geniuses. We believe that red
headed people and those who have
been operated upon for appendicitis
have also organized. although they
did not claim to be geniuses. There
are societies of fat men, likewise
pegleg brotherhoods, but there is no
record that they boast Of mental
superiority, The "southpaws," how
ever. assert that they are original
and different. Following this logic
TO its bitter conclusion, 1t must be
that the man who loses his right
hand and Is forced to use the left
thereupon underoges an intellectual

may mean something to Bible read

MEMORIAL DAY
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "A Good Old Siwash."

Memorial day is the first spring
holiday of the year and is well
coined with joyous shouts by mil
lions of American citizens because
of the splendid opportunity which ii
offers for track meets. double-head-
er baseball games. automobile races.
motor boat regattas. boxing
matches, golf tournaments and aero
plane meets
This would indicate that Memo
rial day was invented for the pur.
pose of making it impossible for us
to forget our glorious outdoor
sports This is nor true however. X
was originally set aside as day
for the nationto remember, and
honor the men who thought so much
more of their country than they did
themselves that they consented to
die for il for SIS a month. with a
possible pension for their widows
and orphans If there should be any
money left in the United States
treasury after the Congressman got
through building political post
offices.
The real official sporting event on
Memorial day therefore. is the one
in which a large number OF men
averages 10 years OF age try to see
how many blocks they can march be-
hind the fife and drum before they
drop out TO rest. 1t still draws a
large audience to the disgust of the
sturdy young Marathon runner who
could beat the whole bunch in re .
lays
Thousands of people go to the
cemeteries on Memorial day and
strew flowers on the graves of the
soldier dead. Among these people,
however, we seldom find the horri-
fed watchdogs of the treasury who
live to add up the pension totals

An Up-to.Date Duel.

A foot race Is the latest form the
duello has taken in France. He who
is f1eetest of foot is most honorable.
Henri Desgrange, Of a sporting
newspaper, and NJ. Gentil, a bicycle
manufacturer, recently agreed to
run three races around the Bots de
Boulogne, a distance of about eight
miles, to settle a point OF honor.
To man not accustomed to the
sport an eight mile race, or, rather,
a twenty mile race in three heats,
should prove rather more danger
GUS than the average French duel,
which usually results in scratch
or flesh wound,
AS for honor, there Is no reason
why speed test should not satisfy
it as fully as a sham sword play.
1t Is even more ancient, for it is
probable that men ran away from
a fight ages before swords were
invented. OF course the man who
is chased is not supposed to be
quite as much up in the matter OF
honor as the chaser, but that is
beside the point. The French foot
race duel may suggest this ancient
and time honored method Of flight
but IS not prompted by the vulgar
sentiment Of the couplet,
He who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day.
being race for honor and not for
life
In this country we do not fight
duels any more. Even the good old
way of knocking down the man
who insults us is going out of fash.
ion. Rather, we abuse each other in
the newspapers. Perhaps the foot
race for honor would be an i'm.
provement even on this method I,
would only weary the participants
while the newspaper method wear
les everybody else.

that ii took some diligent hunting
to locate Ehud. He was a Judge OF
Israel who killed Eglon, the Moabite
king that oppressed the land. On
the pretense that he had message
from the Lord for Eglon, he showed
a. two edged dagger one cubit length
into the kings abdomen. But all
this is beside the point. The i'm
portant fact is that Ehud was left
handed. Presumably he Tented at
giving the prophetic message with
the right and drove the dagger
home with the left According 70
the modern Interpretation. it was a
stroke of genius.
The claim of the organizer OF
1.-THE Excellent order of knights ana
Ladies of Ehud" is that left handed
people have left handed mentalities.
1t is this that gives them their In
tellectual class But is it not a left
handed compliment?
If ambidextrous persons are adj
mitted to this new southpaw or
ganization it viii probably be as as
sociate members.
