Could Not Read His Writing

From the Cornhill Magazine. It was stated at the time of Col. Bur nabys death that he had left behind him the manuscript of novel, for which there was considerable competition among the publishers.
 This is quite true. The manuscript, a bulky parcel. was handed to me with discretionary power either to publish it myself or to use 1t in connecton with the proposed biography.
 Here a singular and as it finally proved, fatal obstacle presented himself. Fami- liar for many years with Burnaby's hand writing I could not after diligent endeav- or make out more than sentence here and there on the crowded page of man. uscript.
 Burnaby's writing was, possibly with the exception of Deon Stanley's. the worst 1 ever saw. 1t looked as if before string down to. write a letter he had pulled twig out of the hedge, mixed a little backing and then gone ahead.
 He wrote the whole of his Ride Nto Khiva" and his Ride on Horseback

Even Sam Blach Was Amazed at His Buy of Stein-Bloch and Other Rochester-Made Suits WHEN THE EXPRESS SHIPMENT CAME YESTERDAY

You know how human na- ture is-you buy something, get 1t home and you like 1t better or not so well. When MT. Blach returned with samples of his big Rochester purchase, we were all rightly enthused and our opening ads did scant justice to this deal Considering this is heart of .season), but when the suits came and were made ready for stock, the full significance of the event DecdIlle apparent, ana MI. Blach was as agreeably amazed as any of us. As you will be-no matter how great your anticipations. For many years we have sold "Stein Bloch S" and even at these underprices the gar ments are best of all. So too, with the other Rochester made, hand tailored suits even as low as $13.85. Get here today if possible. You'll be mighty glad.

Abuse of Dogs in Switzerland

From the Fall Mall Gazette.
 Whether from thoughtlessness or some other cause, there is a good deal to be desired in the way draft dogs are treated in Switzerland. Dogs, as every visitor to the country must have observed, are still employed there for drawing or help- ing to draw all kinds of light carts. Most milkmen and bakers employ dogs when taking around milk or bread. Butchers and vegetable and fruit sellers also use them. These dogs are of course, all of strong built. but of every different breeds, those most commonly employed being of the St. Bernard or mastiff race. On a market day the streets of Berne are full of them. As a rule they do not look ill fed and their harness fits them we'll Nevertheless, 1t is evident that they are often hard worked, for they may be seen lying stretched full length asleep on tho cold, wet ground, or even on the snow, and this after they have been heated by the exertlon of pulling, frequently causes pneumonia or rheumatism.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Macon Reunion

To the Editor of The ge-Herald.
 All in all the Macon reunion was a success. There was plenty to eat, and a place for everybody to sleep: and with but few exceptions at reasonable prices. The new part of the town shows great progress and good taste The street railroad system is almost as good. as ours. I did not hear of a single accident. The company give the veterans tickets. The decorations were attractive and more elaborate than any other city where the reunion has been held. In selecting another place for the next reunion some of the delegates for a moment forgot the infrmities of old age, and their voices rang out like the thunder of a battery on the field but that was soon forgotten.
 The reason that Chattanooga got the reunion was because 1t and the sur roundings are historic ground and the old soldiers like to visit the great bat tie fields. July of next year will bring together many of the surviving veter- ans of both armies to the field of Get tysburg. Let them form in line in valley and on mountain top and all shout peace, and If the dead could hear they would answer. Amen.
 A word about the farmers or Geor- |gia. They are up and doing. Thous- lands upon thousands of acres of upland has been terraced and in riding for Imiles you can scarcely see a wash or gully. The fields look more like a garden than farm. the preparation land cultivation being perfect They hist the land to water level open the furrow, put in the fertilizer. cover 1t |up and the grass that comes prevents the land from washing.
 Before long the old soldiers will have no memories of war. and this Is well. God grant that they may live in a land of peace with new life and thought.

Although the defense had closed their case, Mir Bowman asked to put mp an other witness. Judge I. H. Benners of the first division of the court of com mon pleas was called to the stand. He said

So Sam Blach's trip to the East was ripe with re- suits. You don't care much for why's and where fores-what you want is values. And what you'll get is values. The very best values we ever bought for the money in the first third of May-and your share is likewise. The plain statement of facts herewith is all that's nec- essary. Except this = please r e m e m b e T that when we say $20 and $22.50 Suits for $16.85, we mean what $20 and $22.5O usually buys at Blach 's- a cash to-all store. You always get big moneys worth here-therefore to save here is more economy than mere figures repre- sent.

Through Asio Minor with his own hand. But before they reached the printer they were fairly written out by a copyist.
 The hapless man used to make out as much as he could, then leave blanks, for filling up which he had to seek the asz sistance of the author. Sometimes there were more blanks in page than words.
 Despairing of making a anything of the manuscript of the novel it was submitted to publisher who turned upon 1t his most skillful descipherst Neither head nor tail could be made of the manuscript and the intention of publishing the novel was consequently abandoned.

Just notice one thing. The Suit prices jump from $19.S5 to $2S.S5. Observe the lack of a near $25 price. That's because we would have had to buy $50 Suits to sell at, say $24.S5, and that grade was missing. Regular $25 quality wasn't-so they re $19.S5. Then came the grade originally $35 here and we bought them so $28.85 could get a selection for you.
 You just start at Window No. 1 on 18th street side and go along to Nos. 3, 3, 4, 5 and then around to No. 8 on 3rd avenue and look critically at the s tyl e s and m O d e l S.

JUDGE FoR TIE RECALL
Wanamaker Of Ohio Points Out
Faults of the Courts

Chicago, April 27-UnQualifled in
dorsement of the recall of judges was
given by Judge r. II. Wanamaker OF
the Summit county, Ohio, court of
common pleas, in his address here
before the Illinois State Bar associa-
ton. He based his position on that
section of the Federal constitution
which gives legislatures the right
to impeach The legislatures he
continued, had failed to perform that
function, so the right now reverted
to the people.
Judge Wanamaker said that much
was wrong with the courts. What
he classified as the seven most seri-
Gus grievances against the courts to-
day, follow:
Too much delay.
Too much expense.
Too much idolatry Of ancient pre-
cedent; the more ancient the more
sacred.
Too many trials and appeals, to the
disadvantage Of the poor and the ad-
vantage of the rich.
Usurpation by courts of legislative
right and power.
Too much regard for rule; too lit
tie regard for reason.
Too much jugglery of the technical
pleader; too little justice for the eli
emit
who is responsible for this?" quer.
led the speaker. THE Judge, the
court, chiefly the court of last resort
whose decisions and judgments must
be followed by the inferior courts else
the judgments below forthwith will
be reversed and another trial had
Now, what do the people propose tC
do? Simply propose to change the
jury for removal from the legislature
to the people themselves"
Albert Martin Kales, attorney, o
Chicago, also spoke for the recall
while United States District Attorne,
James II. Wilkerson and Charles II
Hamill of Chicago opposed it.
