CORRECTED HIMSELF.
The Judge Made a Mistake and Was
Quick to Admit IL.


1t was an action against an insur-
ance company in a civil court to re-
cover the value of a quartz mill that
had been burned. The defendant in
troduced the former foreman of the
mill. who testified that the plaintiff
had admitted to him that he had set
fire to the mill in order TO get the
insurance money.
The presiding judge knew the wit
ness and had a very low opinion of
his veracity. He also knew the plain
tiff to be an honorable and upright
man, wherefore he burst forth with
the remark. Every body knows that
to be lie
Whereupon the counsel for the In
surance company sprang to his feet in
a rage. 81 object TO the language Of
the court" said he, land | demand

Certainly. Colonel Brown" said the
court. You are quite right, and the
court was altogether wrong In making
such a remark. The court will en-
deavor to correct the effects Of its
inadvertence. Gentlemen Of the jury,
instruct you that you must disregard
my remark. You are the exclusive
judges OF the evidence and OF the
credibility Of the witnesses, and It

The CITY.

Cities are made, not born. No two
cities are alike. The sum OF one city Is
never equal to all the parts of another.
Once q city. not always a city; some
times only dust heap. A city is made
up Of part Of the country filed with
inhabitants. 1t consists of houses,
streets and debts. No city Is complete
without a hospital and a franchise
plant. The hospital is used to shelter
Its victims and to provide its surgeons
with plenty Of working material. The
franchise plant enables it to support
politicians. A city without politicians
would be like steam laundry without
any steam.
Cities are an antidote for farms. Up
to date, however, no cure has been
found for the antidote.-Life.

His Wanderinus Ended.

In recent long-drawn trial in New
York the defense introduced a miner
as a witness and went into a detailed
inquiry as to his exact whereabouts
for the past ten years. 1t was most
wearisome. For day and half the
lawyer asked this man to tell his
wanderings year by year. Finally they
got down to 1911, and asked him:
What did you do on May 16, 1911" Il

remain there?" Il have been there

In his place and said fervently:

PRINTING QUESTION BOSS UP.
Joint Committee to Adjust Number
of ailla.

W 0UVVOs
Pierre.-The bitter contest over
printing bills of the last legislative
session showed its teeth again Friday
in an innocent looking resolution in
creasing the number of house bills
printed for distribution from 75O to
10000 and another providing for extra
house journals. Before it got far on
its road a dozen members-Ruckman,
Withee. Johnson of Sphinx, Benson,
Patterson and others-were taking
part. The final result was the adop-
tion of an amendment for a joint com
mittee to adjust the number of bills
printed between the house and senate.
The resolution fixing pay days start
ed a lot of discussion as to just when
the members might be absent on a
recess. The date OF January % as the
first recess was objected to-. indicat-
ing that the expectation OF the mem.
bers is to take their recess on that
date. The whole matter finally went
over to a special committee after all
who desired had discussed it.
The house adopted a resolution by
Quickstad setting the fortieth day as
the last for receiving general bills
M the forty-fifth day as the last for
committee bills. which is the earliest
closing date ever fixed.
Among the senate bills Friday was
one by Hagen. of Beadle. which gives

house fixing the liability of townships
and counties for damages by defective
bridges, dividing the responsibility or
the line between structures built by
the different subdivisions.

and several committees were an
