Commends the judge.

AS the Judge of one of our western
courts was leaving the bench, otter
making a decision in a case, the losing
attorney remarked with some heat that
he was hopeless of getting square
deal" in that court. And what did the
judge do-reconvene the court and
mulct 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
an easy advantage of judicial power
and as man to man submits his honor
to the chivalric wager of battle!-

HAD BUT ONE PAIR

To lose one's trousers-that Is embar rassment indeed,
 This must have been the mental vision of an artisan residing on Fifth avenue near Twenty-second street about S:30 o'clock last night, for he consistently re- mained on guard in front of the broken plate glass window of a pressing club and saw to it that no bold burglar went in the place and stole fis trousers. His policy was "watchful waiting.''
 However, this did not suit his faithful frau" who complained to the police de- partment, stating in effect that her hus- band was catching pneumonia in the rain. Her statement as repeated by Chief of Police Martin Eagan is as follows;
 "Oh. chief the wind has broken n plate glass window of a pressing club where my husband had sent his pants to be pressed. Now he is out in the rain watching that window co prevent thieves going in there and stealing his pants. But I am afraid that ne will catch his death of cold and l would like to have you send some policemen down here and watch the place"
 Chief Egans only comment on the af- fair was terse He said:
 q wonder if that fellow has only one pair of pants-this must be looked into And immediately thereafter Chief Eagan gave orders to officers 70 relieve the citi- zen

QUEER PLACE TO
 RELATE STORIES

About 10 o'clock last night In an old field at Fifty-first street and Fourteenth avenue East Birmingham, where the body of the murdered Joe Brookins lay in the mire of weeds and mud. group of friends and acquaintances of the dead mand stood about awaiting the arrival of the ambulance.
 In the light of their lanterns and the frequent flashes of lightning, the con versation drifted until some in the group began reciting necdotes-humorous stories When the point of the stories were told the men would burst into loud guffaws And even while the body was being placed on stretcher to be taken to the morgue the story telling continued with enthusiastic laughter.
 Even the detectives who were standing to one side conferring with each other, shuddered at the exhibition of indiffer- ence to crime and death which the neigh bors and friends of Joe Brookins mani fested
 One explained it when he said: Wal, poor old Joe got shot and killed. It was dirty work-sure enough dirty workout tain't no use worrying as 1t might be me that be next"

 The same report was made on the gen. eral trust bills now being considered by the judiciary committee. six sections of this bill were disposed of today, it was said, and indications were that rapid progress would be made from now on.
 The democratic senators also told the President that there seemed to be no general disposition oh the part of the republicans to make the antitrust bills q party issue.
 MT. Wilson was much pleased with the fact that the majority of the republicans voted for the trade commission bill in committee and the apparent readiness of the minority to cooperate in settling the antitrust question was cited as the principal reason why there should be no great delay in bringing the session of Congress an end.
