CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY
Passing of the Milk Train, Not Charge
of Bull, Caused Young Farm
er's Haste.

In rural New England the passing
of a railway train is still a matter
of public. interest quite astonishing TO
visitors from the city. Last summer
three ladies from Boston hired an
abandoned farmhouse in northern
New England, in a region devoted to
dairying. One warm August day they
walked through the rocky pastures
to farmhouse three miles distant,
in quest of two weeks supply of
butter.
On learning that they had come
through the fields, the farmers wife
exclaimed: why. you can't BIO back
that way alone! Our bulls out there
in the back lot, and only day fore
yist'day he freed my son-in-law on 3
stun for two hours. I'll have him go
home with YOU"
With some misgivings on the part
| Of the women, the little procession
started back under the guidance of
the young man, the ladies carrying
! the butter. All went we'll till they
had gone about a quarter of mile.
F, when the escort suddenly called, ex-
citedly: Come on" and started on
/ run toward higher ground. -,>
Thinking that they understood the
! occasion of his activity they needed
no urging to follow him. On and on
they sped, throwing away their but
ter as an impeachment to their speed.
Finally, bathed in perspiration and
gasping for breath, they sank ex-
hausted on a rocky ledge whittier
their guide had led them.
Standing just above. he waved his
arm in dramatic gesture toward the
valley below, where a freight train
/ could be seen crawling slowly out
from between a cleft in the hills, and
shouted: There she goes-the milk
train!"-Youth's Companion.

1t certainly is a s0mber outfit.
The Court Room in the Capitol is
about one third as large as Judge Nor

when assumed, always did impress me
as being highly iudicrous. Of course,
not the dignity Of rea! grandeur, wheth
er it be in the character of man or
the splendid, honest face of big New
FoundIand dog, but can't get over the
comical aspect of a grown man wearing
black silk gown just because he is to
hear a case at law.
The truth is don't believe man
knows any eaore when heswears a silk
gown than when he wears a. linen dust
er, and when eight Justices don their
black gowns ia the ''robing room" and
solemnly march across the hall into the
Court room. following each other ''in

Very recently the Court in deciding
the Standard Oil case held that 'rea-

permitted. The corporations had been
for years Trying to get Congress to so

the Supreme Court wrote it in.
This same Court some year, ago de-

THE JIM GROW BOOMERANG.

It is with considerable qualification
that we learn that the Court of Ar-
peals of Kentucky has awarded dam
ages in the sum of $3.50 to Miss Rel
la Ritchel, a Jewess of zKokomo. Ind,
who was forced to ride in q Tim
crow car while travelling in Ken
lucky a little more than year ago,
and was finally put off the train. The
lady in question was so dark in COM
pleXion that she could not convince
the train crew that she was not an
Afro-American, and 50, according to
the Infamous Jim crow car laws of
that state, she could not be allowed
to ride in the same car with white
people. We don't blame her for kick.
ing because she had to ride in the
Jim crow car, for every one knows
that the cars so designated are not
first-class cars, and every fair-minded
person cannot but agree that any one
who pays for a first-class ticket should
get first-class fare. Yet Afro-Ameri-
cans are COMPELLED to pay first
class fare and then are COMPELLED
to ride in "jim crow" cars. This law
is a specimen Of the spirit of fairness
that seems to be inherent in the ':su-
perior" race, wherever the brother in
black is concerned The senseless, in
human, inconsistent color prejudice OF
the superior" race cost the railroad
on which this dark skinned Jewess
was SO horribly outraged 90 a neat
sum of money, and that's where our
qualification comes in. We are only
sorry that the damages were not $i0,-
