LAW MYTH HUMANITY.

The court room full of Mena and Polk county people, who listened to talks of Judge j. s. Steel, could but realize that spirit of human love was, in all truth, in charge. Young men confessing serious crimes and some men not so young, who stood before the bar facing severe penalties, under ordinary rules of court, were, on as- surances of right behavior released to go their way and no man who saw and heard the white-haired jurist could doubt that his every heart throb was with asS for these boys and men
 flor their uplift and for their good.
 These particular cases had to dc with the work of tick eradication in Polk county, and what could have shown the earnestness and the human sympathy of Judge Steel more than the open confession that not long ago he was as opposed to the work as any man at the bar but that he had seen where he was wrong. That, like sani- tation to prevent sickness, like vacci- nation to exterminate smallpox, tick eradication was not only beneficial anc necessary, but that only in those countries where the pests had beer destroyed, and in none other, coult cattle be raised proftably.
 It would seem strange, indeed, il such day in court did not redount to the welfare of Polk county both ir its citizenship and in it's respect fol law-which, after all, mean about ths same thing.
 Would it not. indeed, be a sac thing if the people of Polk county should. by the conduct of few. prove that Judge Steels mercy and lovs had been wasted, his confidence be. trayed?
 Following. in the same day witt the above events. the Polk Quorum court appropriated the funds needed to carry on the work of tick eradica. tion---to finish the fine work that was at one time within 5To of completion This season has seen setback ir some localities, and the expense o1 getting back in these localities will be considerable. even in addition ts the loos thru destruction of the vats thru mistaken zeal of objectors witt disregard to law.
 But The Star believes the good vii come of this term of circuit court, and that men have again been impressed with the truth that law is friend not an enemy, just as our judge has 90 earnestly stated.

THE GREATEST vULGARITY.


 From the Kansas City Times.
 The greatest vulgarity is spending more than you earn.
 Most of us want to be respectable. There is nothing so respectable in all the world as living within your in- come.
 Somebody asked Chauneey Depew how much it took to live on in New York. He answered, "a little more than you have.v
 Every city is swafming with fools who are trying to maintain their station in life" by spending $100 for every $90 they take in.
 Sometimes it is the man who is the fool, sometimes the woman. One is as bad as the other. Worse. Quite often 1t is the children, witch is still worse.
 But whoever it is, attack said fool at once. 1t will make trouble, but you'd better have S10 worth of trouble now than $l60 later on.
 And no matter who you are, wheth- CT bedecked lady riding in a limous- inc you cannot afford, or a shopQirl wearing a silk shirtwaist that is be- yond your means, don't forget you are just plain vulgar Because anybody can do it. And it is the commonest, cheapest, wishy -washiest and most in- excusable thing which the mob does.
 There will always be inequalities, always some who have more money and make a greater display than you. Why worry that you are poorer than some around you?
 If you are going to have pang whichever you seen anyone living in finer house than you, or wearing costlier furs. or giving more gorgeous dinner parties, or riding in more ex- pensive automobiles, you would as well make up your mind to accumu- late bangs right up to the grave.
 Clean yourself of this nasty feeling. For envy is the nastiest of all spoil CTS of content.
 The way out is simple.
 Just don't spend. That's all.
 1t may hurt and humiliate, and all that, but what of 1t? Have not better men and women than you suffered to retain their self-respect?
 Begin now. Take a solemn oath that from this day on you will at least not be vulgar. that you will not spend more than you make.

MoNKEY CONVICTED A KILLER.
Verdict of Guilty Followed Animals
 Display of Rage

A monkey was brought into court at Constantinople in connection with the murder of the manager of the Ackermann circus. which had been giving performances for season in the Turkish capital.
 A married couple named Starr, who were members of the circus troupe, were suspected of the crime and ar rested, but no evidence could be dis covered against them. The judge thereupon resorted to reconstruc- tion of the crime. The circus manager had been murdered at moment when he was feeding an Indian monkey named Scamp. Starr and his wife were conducted to the cage.
 The instant the animal, which had previously shown much affection to- wards them, saw the couple, 1t broke into a furious rage, throwing itself against against the the bars of the cage in it's at tempts to attack the Stars. At a subsequent sitting of the court, the monkey was led in and had hardly caught sight of the Starrs when it again flew into paroxysm of terror.
 The spectackle produced great im- pressioE on the court, and, notwith- standing their emphatic denials, Starr and wife were judged guilty

 But while the voters were giving Judge Finger a decisive majority in the county they were doing differ ensly with the head of the Democrat ic ticket.

Hatfield, Acorn and Dallas.
