On Second Thought

It may also be said of Mr. Taft that he has better facilities for displaying a fancy waistcoat than ay other man in public life.
 Buck Kil3oy says he has noticed that as soon as man gets a, little money together the plain people lose a friend.
 Judged by his uniform, every lodge officer is lieutenant general.
 Wherever four drunken men get to- gether male quartet is organized.
 As general rule, the man who says he can't be nauzzlzed ought to be.
 If you are taxpayer most Of the jokes are on you.
 Buck Kifby says he has noticed that the man who threatens to Tell All never has much of importance to com miinicate.
 A father figures his boys as possible assets, but he lists his girls as nabili- ties. E;py Wiley says young Polk GIidden is not only too lazy to hold job, but that he is actually too lazy to search for hidden treasure.

CLERKS OF US. COURTS

Lawyers as a group are able and skillful in what ap- pertains to their occupation. They receive a training which informs them of the conditions of the past. They are organized into strong unions, which may not be entered except under pro cess established by law. They participate more than any other class in making laws. The lawyers have built into the law many soft places for themselves, keeping the rich fess system in vogue, and almost always, when salaries are paid to them,. reserving the right to do any and every kind of work, in addition to their public employment.
 Out of such a system it was to be expected there would grow a tradition of the sacrosanct quality of courts, for courts are con ventions of lawyers. and ev- cry lawyer is an officer of the court.
 Because of this tradition that courts are incapable of evil, and need no supervis- ion, they have come to need supervision somewhat more than other governmental bodies, and, so far as United States Courts are concerned, are getting it.
 The annual report of Geo. W. Wickersham, attorney general for the United States, contains the results of an investigation into the financial operations of the United States Courts, as conducted by the clerks of the courts.
 The following is the attor- ney generals equalization of the work done in this line:
 Number of offices examined: ;22o
 serious Irregularities were
 Number of clerks resigned or
 x9mber n1s%lsSe@ of clerks indicted: he
 Number of clerks convicted
 The seeming disparity in the number of offices in which serious irregularities were found and the number sof clerks resigned, or dis missed, indicted, and con victed is explained by the statement that in some in- stances where serious irreg- ularities were found the per- sons responsible therefor had died, OF criminal prose cutions were barred, or criminal liability could not be established.
 The attorney general states the need for a more frequent visitation of the United States Courts, and proposes to extend a system of yearly examination to the offices of referees in bank ruptey in which many irreg- ularities have been found.
 It is improbable that out side the courts there could be found a body of men handling money of whom more than ten per cent. e-ouId be found indulging in serious irregularities.
 It would not be true in the postal service, nor among the banking and fiduciary Institutions of the country.
 Itis. the condition in Unit ed States courts because those organizations have so long gone without that wholesome regulation, su- peryision, and watchful in-

Christie Macdonald.

1t is safe to say that no attraction
of last season gave greater pleasure to
theater-goers than Christie Macdonald
in THE Spring Maid" There has been
no difference of opinion as to the
charm of the star and the delightful
music and humor of the opera, all of
which accounts for the fact that Miss
Macdonald is playing another season
as the captivating Princess Bozena,
and that all consideration of the pro-
duction of her new opera has been put
aside for the present. She will make
her appearance in this city at the
Gennett theater next Saturday, Nov.
%, when theater-goers can enjoy the
seductive waltz song, DAY Dreams,
the romantic 1.-TWO Little Love Bees"
and the bubbling Fountain Fay" She
will have the support of the company
that appeared during the long run of
the opera in New York, the famous
beauty ballet chorus and an augment
ed orchestra.

"Ready Money"


Everybody in New York who is in.

ing about James Montgomery's new
comedy Ready Money" with which
Manager H. H. Frazee will unques-
tionably make a fortune this year 1t
is now playing to capacity at every
performance at Maxine Elliott's thea
ter in New York City and Sir Charles
Wyndham's new theater in London
and the indications are that it will
play out the whole year in both cities
and possibly longer At present Mr.
Frazee only has one company on the
road with his play but the success has
been so positive he will probably be
compelled to send two others out to
cover the country and also organize
another big company for runs in Bos-
ton and other large cities of the east.
Ready Money" is one of those COM
edies that sends the auditor away
from the theater laughing and think
ing and creates conversation at the
breakfast table next day. Such plays
are rare and always enormous money
makers. Ready Money" will be the
attraction at the Gennett Monday
next.
