~ HAS. C. HOPKINS, more famili-

- county as just plain Butch" the
Republican candidate for sheriff of
Musselshell county has conducted his
campaign for that office in such a
manner that he is now considered one
of the winners in next Tuesdays elec-
ton. He has waged clean, energetic
campaign from one end of the county
to the other, and has perhaps seen
more voters personally than any other
candidate on either ticket. He is a
good mixer, is entertaining, and makes
friends wherever he goes. His elec-
ton is considered certainty.
Butch" had made his bid for sup
port from the voters of the county on
his own qualifications to fill the posi-

the clerical end of the office as well
as the physical qualifications to get
out and round up a bad man should
the occasion require. In fact Mr.. Hop

TOO MANY LAWS.

Too many laws; too many courts
and TOO many technicalitics' is the
trouble with this country, according
to Supreme Court Justice Wesley u
Howard, of New York.
The remedy, according to the JUS
tice, is 10 revise all existing laws in
to 4 dozen volumes, framed in the
simplest language and then compel
the courts to administer this law as
it is written.
THE law should be firm and posi-
tive he says but it has become like
quick sand and slips quicker than YOU
can place your feet. If Judges would
heed form less and substance more,
law suits would be fewer and shorter.
Such conditions have arisen before
in Greece. in Rome. and in England.
They were cured there. They can be
cured here"

PASSING OF THE PlGTAlL

Although the queue, less reverently
known as pigtai!, is most commonly
associated in the public mind of to-
day with the people of China, and al
though that fashion of wearing the
hair has probably been attributed by
the thoughtless in many instances TO
what most Of us were taught by our
school biographies to regard as the
half-civilized condition of the Chinese,
1t is fact well worth noting that the
Chinese are by no means the only nd
ton on earth to have shown respect
and Partially to the queue. The re-
cent edict sanctioning the abolition
Of the pigtail in China reminds the
London Chronicle that it is not so
very long ago since the plgtail disap'
peared not merely from the British
army and navy, but even from every
day civilian life in England. Waist
long pigtails were the fashionable
wear In England about 1140, and be-
fore that the bag wig had been
adorned with a pigtail Topped up in a
black silk flag. AS late as 1858 an old
gentleman was seen in Cheapside with
his gray hair tied behind in a short
queue, and 1t appears that even today
may be found in England relic Of
the pigtail; for, according to the
Chronicle, three pieces Of black vel
vet on the dress tunics Of officers in
the Royal Welsh Fusiliers are the re.
mains OF the ribbon with which the
queue was tied.
