Lord Yelverton, chief baron Of the
exchequer in Ireland, once went on a
Lent circuit, and one Of the Assze
towns happened to be a place OF which
one OF his college contemporaries held
the living. At his own request. the
chief baron's reverend friend preached
the Assize sermon.
The time being the month OF March.
the weather was cold, the judge was
chilled, and unhapply the sermon
was long and the preacher descended
from the pulpit and approached the
Judge. Sinking and smiling. looking
fully satisfied with his own exertions,
and expecting to receive the compN-
ments and congratulations of his Quon-
dam chum.
Well my lord" he asked, land how
did you like the sermon
oh, most wonderfully" replied Vel
verton. 1T was like the peace OF
God-it passed all understanding;
and-like his mercy thought II
would have endured for ever"

The propriety of promiscuous kiss

The testimony Of Mrs. Lockwood.
her sister, Miss Maud Plumstead. and
Mrs. Evelyn Maybee, indicated that
the correspondent, Morton 8. Arvis.
showed no favoritism in his kissing,
but treated all three women with
equal generosity. Mrs. Lockwood's
story of the events on the night when
her husband contended she had been
guilty of conduct which entitled him

called to see Miss Plumstead, and that
she was Just entertaining him until
her sister returned, when Lockwood

According to Professor S. j. Hunter
OF Kansas, the best way to get rid OF
grasshoppers in the alfalfa fields is by
the use Of the disk harrow. Professor
Hunter has been carrying on expert
ments for several years to eliminate
the destructive hoppers and from the
results of those experiments he has
learned that disking is not only fatal
to the grasshopper, but that 1t also
greatly increases the yield of alfalfa.

SAYS
BEAVERS NIGHT
Be PEACHED
Superior Court Judge Defends
Order Which Was Attacked
by Chief of Police.

That Chief Of Police James L.
Beavers and Policeman James II.
Kirke are subject to impeachment if
the facts in the temporary restraining
order of Mrs n. P Powell, who has
been sentenced to four months in Jail,
are substantiated in court, was the
startling declaration of Superior
Court Judge John T. Pendleton in dis
cussing the case Saturday morning.
The judge defended the State courts
in granting the temporary injunction
and said that Chief Beavers had mis-
stated the facts if he said the courts
were interfering with his breaking up
a disorderly house. He said the in
junction distinctly read that the police
were only restrained from making the
woman move from the house and in no
other way baked any action that
might be contemplated
He said the police were at liberty
to raid as often as they saw fit and
make a case against the woman every
time she violated the law.
In the petition for an injunction
the woman said Kirke made an i'm
proper proposal to her" said Judge
Pendleton. She alleged that when
she ordered him away he threatened
to have her place raided every night
until she was forced TO move. She
said Kirke had told Beavers of having
made the improper proposal and had
poisoned his mind against her.
If she can prove that Beavers
knew of Kirke's proposal and his
threats and permitted himself to Dc
influenced, the two are subject to i'm
parchment
Judge Bell granted this particular
temporary restraining order. but
would have done the same thing had
been on the bench that day. The law
allows no latitude or discretion in this
matter. A woman comes into court
and makes a sworn statement that
her home is not a disorderly house
and that she anticipates irreparable
wrong and injury on the part of the
police in forcing her to move. If the
court were to wait until the matter
could be tried, the injury would be
done
"A Judge can not do otherwise than
believe the sworn statement. The
law demands that protection he
granted. There is a wide difference
between a temporary and a perma-
nent injunction, and ii is more than
likely the permanent injunction would
not be granted.
This particular injunction has been
pending in the courts a little longer
than the ordinary. II has been called
three or four times, but on each oc-
casion the attorneys for the city or
the defense were not available and
II had to be postponed. II was called
Friday, but the lawyers were in the
other court trying the case. It will
be heard at an early date"
