A countryman named Street owned
o. runaway COW. AS the season adj
vanced Street was compelled to make
several long pilgrimages into the
country for the reprehensible animal.
On one occasion the trail led on
and on until Street had entered the
environs of town where a new troll
ley system was installed. Just as
the cow-hunter turned a corner IN the
outskirts, the car numbered up and
the conductor called out:
Cedar Street,"
The owner of the estrayed cow
stopped In his tracks and bawled back

Embraced Whole Fraternity.

Among the unwritten legends that
float around the court rooms of Man
haitian are a dozen or more stories
which haze the venerable commission
er Of jurors, Judge" Thomas Allison,
for a hero. His shrewdness, his
sympathy and his tact are all famous.
One day half a dozen men were in
his offlce to qualify for jury duty-or
to disqualify, as most of them re-
garded the matter. Two young fellows
who had come in together stepped up
to the desk In their turn. The first
gave his name, address and age. and
then the commissioner asked:
"Your occupation?"
Artist"
Are you worth s250?"
"No."
You're discharged"
The other young man also gave his
name, age and address.
The dialogue went:
"Your occupation?"
Artist"
You're discharged"

THE popular vote of president-elect

THE popular vote of president-elect
Wilson is 6,156, 748; Roosevelt $685.
14O, and Taft 3,376.422. The socialist
vote for Debs, with the count still
unfinished, is 673,8S Great stress is
laid upon the fact that Wilson re-
ceived smaller popular vote than
Bryan. Any one with common sense
knows that there was three-cor-
nered fight on. If the fight had been
confined to Wilson and Taft the
former would have several more hun
dreds of thousands of votes. That he
won by an overwhelming electoral
vote is sufficient.

$3.50 Tests.

OSCO U6SbS.
In tryouts, i. e., reweighing of pack
ages, tests have proven that PSI we're
correct and ISL incorrect; total 1032.
Staple articles tested showed that
265 We're of correct weight or measure
and 1869 were incorrect.
The adjustment of scales, weights
and measures has been time killing
job the first year, over thirty-three
per cent. of the former being off, and
over fifty per cent of the weights re-
quiring adjustment. Sealed scales,
weights and measures totaled 1851;
adjustments 842; condemned or con-
dernned for repairs 1,576.
Instances were found of where mer-
chants had been playing losing game
for years, running up into consider
able money in years end. On other
hand found merchants using scales or
measures where they were short
changing consumers which if total
lied amounted to considerable amount
in years end. This was not through
intention to defraud, but because no
weights and measures law had ever
been enforced. Merchants as whole
favor law, as do the people. First
years work has not allowed city
sealers ION account of the vast work
of getting things in order to devote
the time which should be spent in
looking up instances of where short
weight or measure has been given, to
make prosecutions. The time, how

JUSTICE NOT ERRINc.

Then the announcement was made that stay of sentence had been or dered in the case of c. A. Shumann, which prevents his execution in this county on the date originally set there was immediately an echo from the pessimist. in effect:
 "Shumann will never hang"
 This convicted and sentenced man has no more chance of defeating tho ends of justice simply because the supreme court will review the case, than if there were no supreme court. Because stay of execution is granted does not indicate that the verdict of the circuit court has erred. It is not surprising that there is a generq demand for the edict of the trial court being carried out. The people here have seen too many mis- carriages of justice not to expect
  others. The killer has too often de. feated justice.
 When a man takes the law into his hands and executes a fellow member of society, he must pay the penalty the law prescribes. The law has said Shumann is guilty of murder, and must hang. Shumann win get a IT, view of his case before the supreme court but that court must find that Shumann has not reosived a fair trial before it will interfere and set the trial aside.
 Shumann may escape the penalty of the law, but it is very improbable
