The clerk was surprised. The
manager made inquiries, and, ap-
preaching the visitor, said, "Excuse
me, sir, is this your writing in the

But" continued the manager, you
are not really the king Of Spain,"
to which the visitor replied, "No; but

Judge a Regular Fellow.

When newspaper reporters, skilled in the
study of human nature, return verdict that
some man is "a regular fellow" it means some
thing that reflects character, integrity, fairness
So, it was a great compliment that all the re-
porters who cover the federal building beat in
Chicago paid retiring Judge Lands when they
presented him with large plaque signed by
them all and bearing this inscription: For
newspaper meE the federal building will not be
the same after you are gone. We've known you
for a long time and Wen miss you for longer
time We think you are an honest-to-God man
and Judge with the right kind of backbone"
Judge Lands would rather have that sort of
testimonial from the reporters than any gift
that could be bestowed. You may say that the
boys on the federal building beat liked him be-
cause he made news, but he made more than
news. He made the reporters know the human
side; his severity with the crooks higher up, his
firmness against crime, his tenderness for the
victim of circumstances, his honesty and cour
age That's why they called him IAN honest
to-God man" And there's timely little ser
mon in this incident for US all.
