Canute Had Nothing on
Michigan Court Crier

In 1888, before Michigan had be.
come state, the sessions of the Su.
preme court were held in the terri.
torial capitol building. The crier OF
the court was Isaac Day, Familiarity
known as General Day" or "Field
Marshal Day." He was large, portly
man. One afternoon during the ses.
sion of court severe thunderstorm
occurred. While the general sat in
somniculous quietude, leaning on his
ivory-headed staff Of Office, gently
snoring, an interlude to the raging
tempest without, a tremendous peal OF
thunder Jared the building and
startled all it's inmates The general,
awakening, sprang upon his feet and,
giving heavy rap on the floor with
his staff, cried out In tone little
lower than the thunder, Silence! y
The effect was irresistible, and for
time the court and bar were con.
vulsed with laughter.-Detroit Free
Press.

The sick man raised his fine white

turned on the girl. The child, sensing
conflict, had buried his head in her

who looked about eighteen-she
turned out to be twenty-ave-and a
beauty she was, too-on a coal-black
thoroughbred"
"Aha!" said Cousin Jouett Goforth.
He was the kind Of man who says,
AHA"
ION the other side was an old fell
low with long gray beard-a plains
man, he was-a six-shooter In his belt,
one wooden leg, and flask OF whisky.
He took pull out of that every min
ute or two. He was mounted on an
Indian pony like mine. AS we waited
we fell to talking, the three Of us,
though you couldn't hear much In that
uproar. The girl said she had trained
her thoroughbred for the race. He
was from Kentucky, and so was she.
She was bound to get her hundred and
sixty acres, she said She had to have
It. She didn't say why, and didn't
ask her. We were all too keyed up,
anyway, to make sense. Oh, forgot.
She had on get-up that took the at
tention of anyone that saw her, even
in that crazy mob. The better to cut
the wind, she had shortened sail and
wore short skirt, black tights, and a
skullcap."
Here there was quite lombard
ment of sound as silver spoons and
knives and forks were dropped from
shocked and nerveless feminine Ven
able fingers.

there in the front line, were headed
down the old freighters' trail towards
the creek land. l. said, I'll be the
first in the Run to reach Little Bear
That was the name of the creek on
the section. The girl pulled her cap
down tight over her ears. Follow me-
she laughed. I'll show you the way
Then the old fellow with the wooden
leg and the whiskers yelled out,
'Whoop-ee! I'll tell 'em along the
Little Bear you're both a-comin.'

soldiers, their guns in one hand, their
watches in the other. Those last five
minutes seemed years long; and funny,
they'd quieted till there wasn't a
sound. Listening. The last minute
was an eternity. Twelve o'clock.
There went up roar that drowned
the crack Of the soldiers musketry as
they fred in the air as the signal Of
noon and the start Of the Run. You
could see the puffs Of smoke from their
guns, but you couldn't hear sound
The thousands surged over the line.
It was like water going over broken
dam. We swept across the prairie In
a cloud of black and red dust that
covered our faces and hands in q
minute, 80 that we looked like black
demons from hell. The old man on
his pony kept in one rut, the girl on
her thoroughbred in the other, and I

in the middle. That first half mile
was almost q neck-and-neck race. The
old fellow was yelling and waving one
arm and hanging on somehow. He
was beating his pony with the flask
on his TANKS. Then he began to drop
behind. Next thing heard terrible
scream and a great shouting behind
me. I threw quick glance over my
shoulder. The old plainsman's pony
had stumbled and fallen. His bottle
smashed into bits, his six-shooter flew
in another direction, and he lay
sprawling full length in the rut Of the
trail. The next instant he was hidden

 Adoption of the above resolution. offered in part, amounts to virtual support of the per cent beer bill sponsored by United States Senator Hiram A. Bingham of New Haven.
