WE ARE HIS HONOR"

We have wonl We are Justice of the Peacel We suppose we are now "Your Honor," or "His Honor," or 'sOur l Honor''-this title business is ticklish business to get straight, when one isn't
 used to it. When an honor is thrust upon man it would seem no more than fair that he should have chance to try it on first, to see how it's going to fit, and learn how to wear it. 4 green hand might not know whether to pull it on over his feet and fasten it with a belt or suspenders, or sit on the floor, draw it down over his head and wriggle into it, like lady getting into her hob- ble.
 The judicial title isn't thing to be frivolously monkeyed with, without some serious first thoughts. Therefore, until we get little used to it-at least until we ''qualify''-we shall avoid the risk of being in contempt of our own court, by eschewing Honor" al- together, and adopting as title just plain Judge" We will respond to "Good morning, Judge!'' or Good afternoon, Judge P like that--depending, of course, upon the time of day.
 Our election was success. Although we reluctantly consented to accept the unexpected and unsolicited nomination, having accepted it we entered into the contest with determination to win or die. We left no turn unstoned. As you all know, our campaign was cross between whirlwind campaign and campaign of education, with the un mistakable earprints of both. Our struggle attracted the spellbound atten- tion of the whole state, and the out come was awaited with widespread and intense anxiety.
 We have no disposition to brag over the splendid result which speaks for itself; yet we trust we may be excused if we point with pride to the fact that by our tireless and vigorous campaign we not only got ourself triumphantly elected, but we pulled through every other candidate for Justice of the Peace on every other ticket. including every one of our opponents-even, Ford. And the profound satisfaction of that achieve ment is not diminished in the slightest degree by the cynical observation of sneering layman, who was never nomi- mated for anything in his life. that, f'inasmuch as the law requires that seven justices should be elected, and there were only seven justices nomi- mated on all the tickets, there wasn't possible chance for any one of them to be defeated; the nomination alone was the same as an election, and every can- didate was bound to win, even if he didn't lift finger"
 That may all be, but when we are running for office we don't believe in taking chances.

The Making of a Man.

Before the beginning of years There came to the making of man Time, with gift of tears; Grief, with glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven; Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance, fallen from heaven: And madness risen from he'll; Strength, without hands to smite; Love that endures or a breath; Night, the shadow of light; And life, the shadow of death. And the high gods took in hand, Fire, and the falling of tears And measure of sliding sand From under the feet of years And froth and drift of the sea, And dust of the laboring earth, And bodies of things to be, In the houses of death and birth; And wrought with weeping and laugh.
 ter,
 And fashioned with loathing and love. With life before and after, And death, beneath and above; For day and night and a morrow, That his strength might endure for a
 span, With travail and heavy sorrow, The holy spirit of man. From the winds of the north and the
 south They gathered as unto strife; They breathed upon his mou tn, Eyesight and speech they wrought For the veils of the soul therein; A time for labor and thought, A time to serve and to sin, They gave him light in his ways, And love and space for delight, And beauty and length of days, And night and sleep i'll the night. His speech is burning fire, With his lips he traileth; In his heart is bland desire, In his eyes foreknowledge of death He weaves and is clothed with derision; 1; Sows and he shall not reap; His life is watch or vision Between a sleep and a sleep.
 -Swinburne.

A Pretty Good World.

This world s pretty good sort of world, Taking it altogether, In spite of the grief and sorrow we
 meet,
 In spite of the gloomy weather. There are friends to love and hopes to St cheer
 And plenty of compensation For every ache for those who make The best of the situation. . There are quiet hooks for lovers of
 books, s With nature in happy union There are cool retreats from the noon-
 tide heats Where souls may have sweet com
 muuion, ..'... ... And if there's a spot where the sun
 shines not
 There's always lamp to light it, And if there's wrong we know ere
 long
 That heaven above will right it. So it's not for us to make fuss Because of life's sad mischances Nor to wear ourselves out to bring about A change in our circumstances, For this worlds pretty good sort of
 world,
 And he to whom we are debtor Appoints our place and supplies the
 grace
 To help us make it better. s.+ Selected.

OUR DESIRE
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

Let's put the best of what we are
 Into everything we do, Thongh some, perhaps, may ridicule,
 What is that to me, or you? So long as we strive for the right,
 And truth rests in the heart, We aim to do the best we know,
 It will give the better part. It's not perfection that we claim,
 But it should be our desire To work for what is highest, best,
 And untiringly aspire.
