1t is seldom indeed that men Of

Interfering with Justice.
(Omaha Bee) .


When Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands has occasion to utter words of
stern rebuke from the Federal bench
nobody has to interpret his words.
They speak for themselves.
A millionaire cattle king named
Dorsey was recently sentenced to
eight years imprisonment after being
found guilty of using the mails to sell
tubercular cattle over the West. The
white plague is readily communicated
to human beings through diseased
cattle. and this mans crime was a
dreadful thing to think about. Com
plants of his criminal conduct came
from Mexico to Alaska" the court
said.
But man with a million has many
avenues through which to reach par
doning power. and this convict was
able to get to President Wilson, who
reduced his sentence to four years.

Will be offered at the University of

This demand comes from thinking
men the world over; the bunk about

revelation then afforded of the tot

the saw-dust with which they were
stuffed.

All fresh, and white and sweet,
In the land of long Forever.
Where the stars and fairies meet,
l wish a wide veranda,
And a garden, and all that.
But most of all l wish and wish
little dog and cat.
1 wish green trees, green shutters,
Wild flowers Of every hue,
A brook that babbles laughter
When my wishes all come true.
A pantry filled with milk and meat.
Silk cushions and mat.
And golden combs to fluffy up
Ny little dog and cat.
I wish a tiny salon,
With books around the wall,
A fireplace with blazing logs,
Should raindrops choose to fall.
Each day when work was over,
Such frolics we'd be at,
The sandman'd find me smuggling down
My little dog and cat
Although I'm in the city.
And know its dust and way,
turn my heart a-wishing,
And my dream is there to stay.
No hater of my fellow-kind,
No misanthrope like that
And yeti know I'd love to death
