Comments the Judge
From Law Notes)


 As the judge of one of our western courts was leaving the bench, after making decision in case, the losing attorney remarked with heat that he was hopeless of getting "a square dealn in that court. And what did the judge do-reeonvene court and muiet the attorney in a heavy fine for the fragrant contempt He did not He came back at the attorney in good, strong Anglo Saxon and prepared to thrash him if the insult was repeated. Involuntarily we are impelled to say, Good for the judge, who thus valves the easy advantage of judicial power and as man 10 man submits his honor to the ehivalric wager of battlei
 How much more admirable this than the case of the justice of the peace who on being taken te task on the street by man against whom he had decided A case, said: "Be careful, sir, or I'll adjudge you in contempt oi court "You cant do that, you Tt oil the bench, retorted the man. "I want you to understand, said the justice, drawing himself up to his full height, 'that wherever 1 am, am an object of contempt"

Communication ]

As there has been much said pro and con in regard to baseball being played on our church common, 1 desire to eX- press my attitude concerning it. The excess for the last two years from the school children and later nearly every day from older ones, has been very an moving, but l bore it until my window was shattered and an easy chair l had only vacated few moments previous, covered with small tiny fragments of broken glass. It gave me such shock l have not been able to recover from it and the continuous playing causes extreme nervousness, as what occurred then is likely to happen at any time, as my residence is in such close proX- imity bat cannot be used without in- vading my yard more or less. My ob- ject and desire Is to inform the public l made the protest without consulting any one and did not know that there were others that had the same feeling in regard to it. It really seemed to me that forbearance had lost it's virtue, but to a woman between seventy five and eighty years old, proper reeogni- ton should be given, also to all others that find it disagreeable, as other ground can be available. | wish to say the players have always been very respectful as they realize | would never say anything against their game were it not for self protection and comfort. In considering the annoyance it must necessarily give to me, there has been much less playingsthe last few days, owing, 1 believe, the result of my talk ing with some of the older ones that have engaged in lthe sport previously and they have my thanks. l found the church committee had control Of the ground and appealed to one of them as under this management l felt unsafe and found it was seriously af- fecting my nerves. l was informed baseball would continue as that was the game boys and men enjoyed most
