Charles N. Arnold nearly caused
Lester Petrie and William Mcclellan,
the minority members of the board
OF supervisors, to have heart failure
Tuesday night.
The members were discussing the
appointment Of DR.. James T. Wayson
as city and county physician, on q
motion Of Ben Ho1linger. Mcclellan
and Petrie opposed his appointment
on the ground that 1t should Be taken
up with the list Of nominations pre-
scented by Mayor Fern. ...- -
Suddenly Arnold jumped to his feet
and with o show Of anger said, look
ing directly at the two Democrats:
az wish to call you gentlemen's at
tenfion to the fact that as chairman
tonight have all the powers given
to the mayor and can appoint whom
ever see fit" r.. -
For q moment there wasn't sound
in the assembly hall, and then Nc
CIelIan, In a small voice, said, But I
don't believe you would do it, -.
"You are right, Mae, /, would not, :"
replied Arnold grinning. but McClel.
Ian and Petrie sighed with relief when
new business was taken up.
Not having had much experience

steamer Elsass, opened, couple OF
cases of wine from among the ex-Teu-

wharf, and tried to drink 1t all Satur-
day or Sunday night, according to q
story circulating on the waterfront.
The doughty infantryman got along
beautifully and was well "lit up" until
he essayed to walk too near the edge
Of the pier. He lost his balance and
fell with a resounding splash into the
wet and brackish water of the eva
basin. He was pulled out within a
few minutes, about as damp outside
as in. Hawaiian Department head
quarters sent an officer around to the
Elsass yesterday to learn all the de-
tails possible.

Madison, Wis.-Three centuries ago
dainty Priscilla Mullines became the
bride of John Alden, and rode on a
white OK to the log house he had built
in the Massachusetts wilderness. The
course of true love had not run smooth
in Priscilla's case.
Miles Standish, the doughty warrior
who had saved the Plymouth Colony
from the Indians, had wanted her to
take the place of his lovely Rose"
who had died soon after the Pilgrims
landed He was a warrior among
men, but afraid of a maiden's eyes,"
and he had sent John Alden, his fried,
to do his proposing for him.
Longfellow describes it in his poem,
"The Courtship of Miles Standish."
Priscilla waited in maidenly modesty
until Alden had sung the praises Of
his friend, and then whispered why
don't you speak for yourself, John?"
Evidently, John did, because Stand
ish, who had been reported killed by
the Indians, appeared just in time to
attend the wedding.

Our Supreme Court

AS originally made up the supreme
court consisted of a chief justice and
five associate justices. In 1907 a sixth
associate was added when a new dis
trict had been created to take in the
new western territory comprising the
states Of Ohio, Tennessee and Ken
lucky In 1887 the expansion of the
nation westward again called for an
increase in the court, and two more
associate justices were added.
In 1868 a ninth associate justice was
needed, but five years later, when ap-
preaching vacancies made it likely that
President Andrew Johnson might have
the appointment of the new members,
congress, then in open antagonism to
the chief executive, reduced the num-
Der to seven, thus preventing him from
making an appointment.
This number two years later after
the Inauguration of President Grant,
was increased to eight associate JUS
tees and a chief justice, and as then
constituted the court has remained.
