Judgment V/as Cenfirmed. A certain old time justice of the peace, wishing to bring suit against a citizen, cousulted the statutes and found that s of such a character might he bLrought before any justice of the peace. “Well, then,” thought he, “I'll just try the case myself.” Straightway he made out a writ against his adversary and signed it. On the day set for trial the defendant appeared with counsel. Both gentle- men not unnaturally objected to the constitution of the court. “Why,” demanded the justice, “do you deny that I am a justice of the peace?” The lawyer would not contest this point, but argued that s\zc!l a construc- tion of the law was against all sense and reason. A vigorous altercation ensued, and then the judge remarked that not for the world would he have two gentle- men suppase him governed by any per- sonal considerations. “I will there- fore,” he added gracefully, “render Begins Dictating His Speech Ace cepting Nomination, BE A LONG ONE WILL NOT Intends to Touch on All Vital Issues of the Campaign, Particularly the Anti-Injunction Plank of the Chi- cago Platform. Hot Springs, Va, July 14—The writing of the speech of acceptance of William H, Taft, to be delivered on July 28 in Cincinnati, when he is offi- clally notified of his nomination for the presidency by the Republican party, has been begun. Mr. Taft has, in a general way, discussed the vari- ous matters he will incorporate in his speech with Republican leaders who have visited Hot Springs during the past ‘ten days, but he had not framed a single sentence of the important document until now. Mr. Taft went out upon the golf links as usual and played eighteen holes. He proposes to play every day while at Hot Springs and it is mot likely that anything that he will have to do will interfere with the game. “I play golf just as I would take medicine,” he said, in referring to his regular visits to the links. After he returned from the links he went to his office and was closeted with his secretary, beginning the dic- tation of a portion of his speech. The entire day was not devoted to this work, as there were many letters to receive his personal attention. His mall now consists of about 150 letters daily. One of the most interesting portions of the speech of acceptance will be Mr. Taft's reference to the injunction plank of the Republican platform adopted at Chicago. He will make his position on that subject very clear, it 1s said. The speech will not be a long one, but will touch upon all of the vital issues of the campaign. Judgment against myself and then appeal to the supreme court.” “But the mischief of it was,” sald the justice, relating the story after- ward, “that when my judgment got to the supreme court it was unanimously to improve by attending teachers’ meetings, institutes and training schools and by reading books prescribed by the Teachers’ Read- ing Circle Board and other edu- cational books and papers, Teach- ers should bring with them all credits they wish to offer includ. ing certificates. The examination will be held in the assembly room of the High School building. Dated at Bemidji, Minn., July 14th, 1908. W, B. Stewart, Co—Supt. of Schools. Mrs. D. W. Hayden Passes Away.

Fred Malzahn, first door north of First National Bank, Be- midji, Minn. reaffirmed.” The Dog’s Tail. A prominent citizen was on trial charged with harboring a viclous dog. The attorney for the defense had been consulting a dog expert and had learned that if a dog holds his tail up over his back when he barks he is not angry, while if he holds it straight out behind him he is in a belligerent, blood- thirsty frame of mind. Anxious to air his newly acquired information, the lawyer began cross questioning the prosecuting withess thus: “Now, did you notice the position in ‘which this dog’s tail was held when he came at you?” “I @id not,” said the witness, “for that was not the end from which I anticipated injury. I had another end in view. Now, if the dog had been a hornet”— “No levity, sir!” thundered the attor- ney. “Answer the question. In what position was the dog’s tail when he came at you?’ “I believe, sir,” faltered the terrified witness, “that it was behind him.”— Chicago News. The King's Cock Crower. In the good old time there was an English court official known as the king's cock crower. It seems a strange office. Why did the king require a cock crower, and why could not the common barn door variety serve his majesty’s purpose? The reason, as you shall see, ‘was that the barn door varlety cannot be depended upon for times and hours, and he has never been persuaded to ob- serve Lent. Now, this was a plous cus- tom and a religious duty. All through Lent the king's cock crower crowed Instead of calling the hours of the night in the palace. He began on Ash Wednesday, when he entered the hall in which the king’s supper was served, and then crowed the hour In the pres- ence of the royal party. The meaning of the custom is obvious. It was only one of the many ways in which the history of the Christian religion was brought home to the minds of people before the reading of the gospel in the vernacular. The office was continued down to the year 1822.—London Queen. “The Greatest Widower.” This is sald to be the title of a genu- Ine essay evolved some years ago by a boy in a Welsh board school: “King Henry VIII. was-the greatest widower that ever lived. He was born at Anno Domini in the year 1066. He had 510 wives besides children. The first was beheaded and executed. The second was revoked. She never smiled again. But she said the word ‘Calais’ would be found on her heart after her death. The greatest man in this reign ‘was Lord Sir Garret Wolsey. He was sir named the Boy Bachelor. He was born at the age of 15, unmarried. Henry VIIL was succeeded on the throne by his great-grandmother, the beautiful and accomplished Mary, queen of Scots, sometimes known as the Lady of the Lake!” Helping the Burglar Out. “John,” she whispered, “there’'s a burglar in the drawing room. He has Just knocked against the plano and hit several keys at once.” “I'll go down,” said he. “QOh, John, don’t do anything rash!” “Rash! Why, I'm going to help him. You don’t suppose he can re- move the piano from the house with- out assistance!”—London Throne. An Omission. Magistrate—What 1s the charge agalnst you this time? Boggs—They cotched me a-stealing oranges, yer worship. Magistrate—Didn’t I tell you Wwhen you were here before not to steal anything more? Boggs—No, yer wor- ship; you said not to steal any more lemons, but yer didn’t say a word ! about oranges.—I«.gon Graphle.

Hitchcock, chairman of the Repub- lican national committee, who ar- rived here from Washington, will have a number of important confer- ences during his stay in the city. One of these will be with George R. Shel- don, the treéasurer of the national com- mittee.

Many prominent Republican poli- ticlans will meet the chairman during the next few days and toward the end of the week Mr. Hitchcock will go to Utlca for a conference with James S.

B OBALDIA IS PRESIDENT. Elections in Panama Pass Off With. out Disorder. Panama, July 14—The presidential elections throughout the isthmus of Panama passed off without . disturb- ance., Senor Don Jose Domingo de Obaldia, formerly minister to the United States and acting president during the absence of Dr. Amador, was elected president. The support- ers of Ricardo Arias, who recently withdrew his candidacy, decided mnot to vote and as a consequence no op- ponent to Senor Obaldia was placed in nomination. Notwithstanding this, a large number of voters registered their choice dnd demonstrated the overwhelming majority of Senor Obal- dia’s supporters. From all parts of the republic news has been received here that the elections were carried on in an orderly manner and that Senor Obaldia received all the votes cast. At the conclusion of the ballotting enthusiastic crowds, headed by a band of music, paraded the streets of Pana- ma, cheering continuously for the newly elected president. There ap peared to be an absolute absence of ill feeling between the former sup- porters of Senor Arias and the ad- herents of Senor Obaldia. Never be- fore has such a friendly spirit been shown so quickly after an election. GREAT SURPRISE IN JAPAN Caused by Exclusion Plank in Demo- cratic Platform. Tokio, July 14—The news of the action of the Democratic national con- vention at Denver, including in its platform a plank favoring the exclu: sion from the United States of Asiatic laborers, is taken here to be directed against Japanese and is causing con- siderable surprise and displeasure. In some quarters indignation is ex pressed and the declaration is made that such a course is an infringement on the treaty rights of Japan and op- posed to the principle of humanity that should govern the relations of nations. It is generally believed, how- ever, by those familiar with political conditions in America, that the ma- Jority of Democrats are not anti-Jap- anese in sentiment and that the ex- clusfon clause was incorporated in the platform for the purpose of satis- fying the labor element. AUTO GOES INTO RIVER. Five We!l Known Residents of Louis- ville Injured. Louisville, July 14—Six persons, five of them well known in the social world, were seriously injured in an automobile accident at Smithville, twenty-three miles out. ‘Their names are: Shelby Bonnie, a prominent dis- tiller, leg broken; Mrs. Shelby Bonnie, bad cuts; Miss Elizabeth Sherley, seri- ous bruises; Mr. Richard Menefee, a merchandise broker, internal injuries, ad Dr. Carl Wiseman, leg broken.

Chicago, July 14.—The hog market, which had beeén steadily advancing since March, climbed to the high mark for the year when prime ani- mals sold at $7 a hundred pounds. Scarcity of corn, resulting in a corre- sponding scarcity of hogs, Is given as the reason for the advance, which has carried the price up from $4 a hun- dred early in the year. The market receipts have fallen behind those of a year ago and the hogs, too, are said to be not so heavy. The market went to $7 last year, but the figure is said to have been an artificial one and was followed almost immediately by a break to $6. This year, market ex- perts say, high prices are likely to prevail for a period of six months or more to come. Outcome of Frequent Quarrels.

Y., July 14.—Pro- ceedings in Harry K. Thaw’s applica- tion for a jury trial to determine his mental condition have been ad- journed until the September term of the supreme court of Westchester county. This arrangement was en- tered into before Judge Mills by Thaw's counsel and District Attorney Jerome of New York. In the mean- time Thaw will remain in the custody of Sheriff Chanler of Dutchess coun ty and will stay in the jail at Pough- keepsie. The agreement to adjourn the pro- ceedings to September had been en- tered into by stipulation by Distriet, Attorney Jerome of New York and counsel for Thaw before the case was called. When the stipulation was pre sented to Judge Mills in court he 8aid at first that he did not approve of the agreement inasmuch as coun- sel were not agreed as to where Thaw should remain in the meantime. A representative of Mr. Jerome, who was present finally joined in the request that Thaw be remanded to the Pough- keepsie jail after Attorney Morschau- ser had threatened to withdraw from the agreement and insist upon an im- mediate hearing on the main point at issue. Justice Mills then gave his approval to the proposed adjustment and directed that Thaw be remanded to the custody of the Dutchess county sheriff until Sept. 21, when he will be again produced before Judge Mills at ‘White Plains and arguments will be made on the application for a jury trial. Thaw expected his wife to meet him in the courtroom here and expressed himself as greatly disappointed when she did not arrive from New York. IMPROVEMENT NOTED. Indications of Return to Normal Busi- ness Conditions. Cleveland, July 14—Indications are multiplying in all branches of trade that a return of normal business con- ditions is rapidly approaching. Rail- road managers especially report a de- cided improvement and a sharp de- mand for cars for the transportation of all classes of freight, with the pos- eible exception of steel and fron. A prominent railway official said that while this branch of business contin- ued far below normal it no doubt largely resulted from the fact that the railway companies themselves were not buying material. This state of effairs, however, he added, could not possibly continue much longer and the -railroads would shortly be com- pelled to go into the market and when they did so the demand would be sudden as well as heavy. Grand Chief Engineer Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers said that his reports showed decided business improvements on the rail- roads throughout the country. KILLS SISTER AND SELF.

D., July 14.—John Bruhn, & farmer living a few miles south of Donnybrook, went insane and, after ikilling his sister, Miss Rose Bruhn, who was living with him, committed suicide.
