with the next set coming On, re mar
ried and got the prettiest girl in town
We always thought that he married
only because he wanted to be a goea
fellow and did not wish to be impolite
to the girl he'd paired eff with in the
first crowd. Still he didn't stay home
nights, and once or twice a year
say election or Fourth of July-he
and lot of other young fellows would
20 out and tip over all the board side
walks in town, and paint funny signs
on the store buildings and stack beer
bottles on the PTea cber's front pofch'
and raise Ned generally. And the fei-
lows of his age, who owned the stores
and were In nights, would say to Samp
when they saw him coming down
about noon the next day:
go it when you're young, Samp.
for when you're old YOU can't. And he
would wink at 'em, give 'em ten dol
lars apiece for their damages and jolly
his way down the street TO his office.
Now, you mustn't get the idea that
Samp was the town drunkard, for he
never was. He was just good tel-
low. When the second set of young
fellows outgrew him and settled down,
he picked up with the third, and his
wife's brown alpaca began to be no
ticed more or less among the women
But Samp's practice didn't seem to fall
off-it only changed. He didn't have
so much real estate lawing and got
more criminal practice. Gradually he
became criminal lawyer, and his
fame for wit and eloquence extended
over all the state.
Colonel Morrison chuckled and
crossed his fat legs at the ankles as
he continued. after lighting the cigar
we gave him:
"Well, along in the late seventies we
fellows that he started out with got
to owning our own homes and getting
on in the world. That was the time
when Samp should have been grubbing
at his law books, but nary a grub for
him. He was playing horse for dear
life. And right there the fellows all
left him behind. Some were buying
real estate for speculation some rum
ming for office; some starting a bank /;
and others lending money at two per
cent a month, and leading in the pray
er meeting. SO Samp kind of hitched
up his ambition and took the slack out
of his habits for few months and
went to the legislature. They say that

Colonel Morrison read over the item
again, and smiled as he PROCEEDED:
"But it does say that he occupied

to indicate that whisky made old Samp

exclaimed the colonel as he reached
for his hat and put up his glasses.
"And this is how whisky served him;

had gone back to his flann@ shirts and

he certainly did have a good time
though, when he got there. They re-
member that session yet up there, and
call it the year of the great flood, for
the nights, they were filed with mu'
sic, sas the poet says, and from the
best accounts we could get the days
were devoid of ease also, and how Mrs
Sampson stood it we never could
find out, for, of course, she must
have known all about it, though
he wouldn't let her come near
Topeka. He began to get pursy and
red faced, and was clicking it off with
his fifth set of young fellows. 1t took
big slug of whisky to set off his
oratory, but when he got it wound up
he surely could pull the feathers out
of the hird of freedom to beat scan

weren't always sure he'd fill the en-

Der and clench his fist at the prosecut-
ing attorney, yet he didn't claim to
know much law, and he did turn over
all the work in the Supreme court to
his partner, Charley Hedrick. Then
when Charley was practicing before
the Supreme court and wasn't here to
hold him down, Samp would get out
and whoop it up with the boys, quote
Shakespeare and make stump speeches
on dry goods boxes at midnight.

rison of the stenographer when she had
finished sharpening her pencil "Oh,
yes, along in the eighties came the

in debt, and, when the boom broke, he
was still living in a rented house with

TnE PENALTY FOR EXTORTION

Magistrate Glenn Swami and his
aide, Eugene Cooper, have been SEN
fenced to serve from one to three
years in prison for extortion of money
from poor seekers of justice.
Judge Smathers is living up to his
promise to make an example of those
who debase their office as servants of
the people to make personal profit for
themselves, and he hasn't started a
day too soon. If there is one infamy
above another, it is the prostitution
of a court of supposed justice for sor-
did gains. The curse of the effete
East is the prevalence of judges who
must be bribed to obtain a hearing.
The unjust steward is the figure of a
tribe of human leeches whose exist
ence has been co-existent with the in
stitution of courts by men.
All nations have suffered from such
villainous and some of the most ter
rife predictions of doom are directed
by the prophets of old against those
who make mockery of the words fair
+ play" Swami and his satellite have
been convicted of trimming helpless
colored women of petty sums to fatten
their purses. The entire profession of
law, of which these minions know but
the faintest smattering, it is true, is
daubed with the prints of grasping
fingers. Judge Smathers has instilled
another salutary tremor in the veins
of the guild of which Swami has not
been the conspicuous and solitary fig
