An Object of Contempt.

William E. Borah, senator from
Idaho, tells this yarn:
There was at one time in Georgia
a judge who had many duties beside
his legal ones to perform, but who
never for a moment forgot that he
embodied the law" under any and
all circumstances.
On n occasion ne was called
upon to act as auctioneer to dispose
of some merchandise left by a dry
goods merchant who had died some
time before.
During the auction one of the bid.
ders created a disturbance. and final
~ the exasperated a%uctioneer, assum-
ing his character as judge, fined the
man sixty dollars, and sent him to
Jail for contempt of court. An at
torney made an application to remit
the fine and release the prisoner on
the grounds that there had been no
contempt of court. He maintained
that the judge when acting as aue-
tioneer was not a court and there
fore was not liable to contempt.
The judge heard this application
presented with rising wrath. and as
suming all the dignity of which he
possessed, he glared fiercely down
upon the diminutive attorney.
Sir" said he, in stentorian tones.
Il would have you know that ! am
judge of this place under any and all
circumstances; | am Judge all the

Good Reading for Sunday


There is a devil and his name is
Doubt:
The country and the city know
him we'll.
He makes each human mind his
citadel
And many an honest aim he puts to
rout.
He argues well, about it and about
He kills more love than any
tongue can tell;
lie leads obedient mortals to his
hell
And mocks them when they seek a
pathway out.
You do not know him. YET you doubt
your friend;
You sheer at him, but doubt a
mothers love,
He camps upon your trail until the
end,
As smooth as silk, as futter-
ing as a dove.
In every brain he builds his little
fires
lie is the trustiest devil Satan hires.
