THE. DIARY HABIT

One of the most prominent features
of the early part of January used to
be the keeping of diaries Little black
and red covered books neatly ruled
and dated were very favorite
Christmas present. Some of them
were large sizes volumes with room
for a very extended daily history of
ones doings.
Most young people at some time or
other tried keeping these books The
entries for the first week or two would
be very detailed and complete Not
merely would personal events be
chronicled, but the weather and local
events were described. Many emotion
/ al young people detailed their states
of feeling and mental reactions By
about January Is it became an old
story. Entries became meager and
scattered, and few dairy keepers could
keep it up much beyond February
Occasionally one finds among house
hold treasures however a well kept
diary of some of our ancestors In
the old days when life was quiet and
there were few distractions, people of
literary and contemplative turn
found journal keeping a very interest
ing diversion.
They enjoyed reviewing the events
of the day, and in after years it was
a great pleasure to renew the expert
ences of former times. Also it was
an exceedingly convenient thing to
have these personal records and many
business disputes were settled by
them. Some of these old diaries give
a wonderfully accurate picture of the
life of former generations
The modern age is too swift to
spend time in this way. 1t is all we
can do to perform the duties and en-
gage in the pleasures of the day,
without stopping to record them. Few
people spend hours in the contempla-
ton of the past, and there is little re-
viewing of former experiences. Rath-
or the mind is concentrated on the
future. So the old time diary seems
to have gone out, and our past his
tory lapses into oblivion, with only
! the great landmarks of experience
standing out.

white but the flesh was pink colored.

Seward Fire Boys
 At Annual Banquet
Interesting Entertainment by the Men
 Who Guard the City.

The annual dinner of the Seward Volunteer Fire Department took place last evening at Cooper's Cafe and de- veloped into a most pleasantly in- formal affair where everyone seemed to feel perfectly at home. In addition to the members of the department themselves the Mayor, the Engineer in charge of the Railroad Commission and representatives of the press had been invited as guests and, needless to say, gladly took advantage of the courtesy. c. E. Martin was toast master and had rather difficult time, due, no doubt, to the diflidence of men who know each other too we'll when it comes to making speeches. Chief NJ. A. Horner spoke a few words right to the point and H. k. Ellsworth, assistant chief, sketched the history of the force briefly but fully. R. J. Weir, of the Engineering Commission, expressed again his ap- preciation of the splendid work done by the department at the recent fire on the dock Charley Martin told pretty story from his place at the head of the dining table and Gus Manthey also sprung a few. F. k. Bigford and few others contributed and after the most pleasant dinner the whole bunch went to the show in body and at once made it very appar- ent that they were having a good time.
 The following is the list of the members of the department, nearly all of whom were present, and the guests;
 M. A. Horner, chief; H. E. Els worth, assist. chief; c. E. Martin, toastmaster; F. R. Wiesendanger, James Hammond, F. A. Taylor, r. R. Bigford, A. R. Modine, w. G. Weaver, Gus Manthey, John RosneSs, Martin Lanning, T. J. Finnegan, Charles Sheldon, Max Herman, Roy D. Fonda, John Rose, E. L. Senft, George Kos mos, Virgil Rich, Henry Richard, Arthur Gray, Charles Lechner, L. Woolsey, Walter Rothfus, Ed. Murphy, F. N. Chovin, Roy Ashland, Frank Nickerson. Guests; Mayor c. A. Myers, R. J. Weir, J. J. McGrath, F. G. Ennis and Neil Sexton.

Ruling OF 1868
BROUGHT OUT TO
UPHOIDP PROTEST
Atty. George A. Davis Claims
Vaughan is Judge and Can
not Prosecute in Court

Away back in February. ,lSa3. l13
years ago, the supreme court of the
Limited States held that the appoint
ment OF q federal official is cDnsid-
cred made as soon as the signature
OF the president Is affixed to the com
mission, . r. K. -.
4 copy of the case in which this de-
cision is contained has been handed
to Federal Judge Charles F. Clemens
by ATTORNEY George A. Davis as bas-
is for the latter's recent objection TO
Horace w. Vaughan assisting in the
prosecution OF cases in the United
States court. -. ..."~...
Mr.. Faughan:s commission as fed.
eral Judge has already been received,
bearing the signatures, of the presi-
dent and the attorney general, but Mr..
Vaughan has not yet taken the oath
of office. But Attorney Davis holds
that he is now judge, and no longer
U. s. district attorney.
The cGse cited by Attorney Davis
was a mandamus proceeding against
James Madison, who, in 1908, was Sec
rotary OF state. The object of the
suit was to force him to give commits
sions to certain justices Of the peace.
In deciding the case, the supreme
court stated as follows: .-.
1T is, therefore, decidedly the opin-
ion of the court that when a commits
sion has been signed by the president,
the appointment is made, and that the
commission. is complete when the seal
of the United States has been affixed
to it by the secretary of state"
8ir. Vaughan's commission has been
returned to Washington for the cor
rection of an error in the date Of his
appointment.
