Why He Left.

Kenesaw Mountain Lands, federal
Judge in Chicago, has a wealth OF
poise. He sits through long stretches
Of litigation, apparently lost in some
maze OF abstraction on the other sice
OF the moon, but he never misses what
is going on. And suddenly he will
break in when attorneys are wrang-
ling, or a witness isn't speaking we'll
and with a judicious question or soma
pertinent advice, will readjust the
court mechanism and set it running
smoothly again.
One hot day the federal prosecutor
was examining a witness in Judge
Landis' court, and wasn't making
much progress. The witness was an
itinerant printer.
"where were you working in Janu-
ary of that year ?" asked the prose-
cutor.
"On the Texarkana Bugle," replied
the wltness.
"How long did you stay?"
1.-TWO months"
"Why did you leave?"
"The editor and I disagreed on a
great national question"
"Where did you work next?"

was there seven weeks"
"why did you leave?"
"The editor and | disagreed on a
great national question"
Three other jobs were mentioned,
and each time the printer explained
his leaving with the same phrase.
Then Judge Landis sat up in his chair
and raised q hand.
"wait a minute" he commanded.
"What was this great national ques-
tion?"
"Prohibition," said the witness.

How a Town Was Saved by a Clock.

In the old days when every city haa
to be we'll guarded the ancient town OF
Basel, in Switzerland, was surround
ed by a high wall. There was only
one gate. Beside it stood a tower
with a clock in il, and at the foot OF
the tower lived the old man who was
the keeper Of the gate. II was his
business to be always on the watch,
that no enemy might get into the town.
The old man did his duty so well
that for years no harm came to the
city: but inside il were traitors VINO
planned to turn il over TO its enemies.
The old guardian suspected that evil
was hanging over the city, but there
were no soldiers to help him, and so
he could do nothing but watch and
listen.
One night, when all the lights OF the
town had been put out, the old mans
keen eyes caught sigh, Of shadows
skulking near the tower. He knew II
was the traitors, and that they were
there for no good purpose.
II was even then nearly midnight
and his sharp ears caught the whis-
per, "When the clock strikes twelve =
That meant. Of course, that the stroke
OF twelve had been agreed upon as the
signal for the traitors TO fling open
the gate and deliver the town into the
hands Of its enemies.
The old man, listening in his little
room, wondered what he should DO
He had little strength himself, and
there was no time to get help.
AT last, when il lacked only i've
minutes OF midnight, he thought OF
plan. Climbing the stairs OF the tow
er as fast as he could, he CROPPED his
way to the clock and opened its case
with trembling hands.
A little later one long clear note
struck from the top OF the tower. On
| " one, then silence. The old man
leaning from the window, heard ex
cited whispers below. 80
"Why doesn't it 60 on striking
"Could we have slept while w
waited? ?"
The sharpness Of that one solem'
stroke on the silent air frightened tn
traitors. They crept away, sulky an
fearful, in the darkness. Outside IN
gate the waiting enemy also heard tn
stroke, and after a time they wen
away bewildered.
The next morning the mayor sent
, the gatekeeper to ask why the cloc
was an hour fast. When he hear
what had happened, he ordered a gre'
celebration in honor OF the old ma
, who had saved the town. Later Of
, the people set up figure over n
, gate OF the city to make them remen
her their deliverance: curioi
, 6eure that once in so often stuck o'
I its tongue, as il to mock the memo'
s | of the traitors whose plans the quiz

AS for the clock itself, il was ne

PRESIDENT CALLS CONGRESS
In Special Session for May 10

On May 7th, President Wilson is
sued the call for an extra session of
Congress. The President does not ex-
pect to return by that date but evil
IDENTIFY thinks that it is well to give
the new congress little time for
organizing before he arrives.
Without doubt the first work done
will be the passage of the appropria-
ton bills that were killed by the fill
buster at the close of the last ses-
sion.
The complete text of the Peace
Treaty is now being received by cable
and the official draft will doubtless
be ready for their consideration by
the time they are ready for it.
The much discussed League of Ma
tions is an important part of the
document. There is little doubt that
it will be promptly approved by our
senate in spite of the antagonism OF
those senators who place playing pol
itics above patriotic duty.
