county court will adjourn during the
afternoon. One of the Judges said that
they expected to yesterday but that

delayed them. There are three cases

attorneys yesterday and the Folsom

yesterday in the Wheeler divorce case.
Very likely these cases will be fin
ished during the day.

Redfield Scores a Coal

WILLIAM c. REDF1ELD, former Secretary
of Commerce, says that he can recall
with microscopic dstinctness the moment that
gave him the biggest thrill of delight in his
whole life. 1t was when he was going to school
and trying to master long division
Three or four aisles over from where he sat
boy yawned 1t was not an ordinary yawn,
but one of such genuine expression of feeling
toward things in general that it attracted Red
fields attention.
He was fortunate in having paper wad
right at hand, ready for any emergency, and
he aimed this at the boys cavernous mouth.
By one of those rare exhibitions of magma
nimity on the part of an inanimate object, the
wad went right square into the goal, and Red
fields joy knew no bounds. He had played the
cne chance in million and won.
Encouraged by his dexterity in that instance,
Redfield then tried throwing rings at knives
al county fairs but never again did he exhibit
such wondrous aim. i,

By Fred c. Kelly

TDHILANDER C. KNOX used to tell the story
of a Pennsylvania lawyer, known through
out the state for his sharpness, who once met
his match in very unexpected quarter.
An old woman was being cross-examined
by him as to how the testator had looked when
he made remark to her about some rela-
tive.
81 don't remember. He's been dead three
years." she answered, testify.
"Do you mean to tell me that your memory
is so bad that you cannot go back three
years?" demanded the attorney.
The witness was silent
Did he look anything like me?" the lawyer
finally ventured.
Seems to me he did have the same sort of
vacant look" responded the old lady.

The next lanolady was also sharp in her
denunciations.
Women" she told me, "have absolutely no
respect for the property of others. Men
have. Women may be the most careful per-
sons in the world-in their own homes
Their mahogany is always unscratched. Their
overstuffed furniture is carefully guarded
with slip covers. But how different they are
when furniture belongs to some one else
"About month ago three girls from Chi
cago came to live with me. I gave them
nice room which had been newly decorated
Yesterday they left. I went over the room
and the border of a new velour portiere were
covered with ink stains. 1t was too much
trouble to get blotter, SO they shook the
fountain pen In the air. 1t wasn't their wall
So they used indelble ink
IT had permitted them to make coffee.
They prepared it on handicapped table
or one side Of the sitting ROOM They served
it in the opposite alcove. Consequently there
wore coffee drppings across the entire length
of my brand new light blue rug. I paid near
ly 500 FOR that rug. The stains won't come
out.
II had forbidden those girls to keep food
because it brought mice. When they left,
the cupboard, underneath the washstand, was
filled with crackers, cake and cheese-also
mice.
"When men live in furnished rooms they
eat in restaurants, as they should. Women
always insist on running their digestions by

real food. If they ate in restaurant they
would get the nourishing things they need.
But they prefer to buy box of crackers or
piece of cake and MUNICH it on the foot of

Terminal the proverbial gayety of our native
chorus girl pales by comparison. These stu
dents from out of town are always bent on
kicking the lid right off all our social activi-
ties the very first shot. New York is none too
rapid for them. They intend to show US.
II remember two mild-mannered little girls
who came to ME last summer. Their aunt,
who lives in the neighborhood, asked me to
take them in. When l first met them | was
certain their mothers back in Kalamazoo had
tucked them into bed every night at 1O:3o
sharp. But in half an hour knew from their
own remarks that they smoked drank when
possible and stayed out late. The first night
they were here two college boys took them to
a show. They stayed out until o'clock in
the morning. I am convinced that they had
never done such thing in their lives before
And only their desire to appear thoroughly
acclimated to our wicked metropolitan air had
prompted them to walk around the block until
that hour.
"When they did come in they brought one
of the young men through the front parlor,
Where my daughter was asleep, so that he
could telephone his anxious parents that he
was quite safe. They wanted me to under
stand they true bohemians and didn't
care who knew it.
"The next morning asked them to leave

roomers wanted to Sleep"
Too many telephone calls for feminine
roomers was the burden of the next lament.

telephone calls," said this woman. ga girl

Why He Sauntered

SENATOR PITTMAN, of Nevada, walks
briskly, but he says there was a time when
he didn't dare do so. In the days when he
was miner and lawyer up in the Alaskan
gold fields no one walked rapidly; they just
sauntered casually, because it was unwise to
walk as if headed toward any particular des-
tination.
IF a man was seen walking fast" says Pitt
man, every one would jump to the conclusion
that he had either discovered new place gold
could be found or else storekeeper who had
just received consignment of plug tobacco"
In either case he would be followed and his
plans thwarted.
