JUSTICE TEMPERED BY PATRONAGE
The CulpritsSoon Learned How to Gain
the Judge’ 5 Leniency
”A ”number of yearsago Judge Reu-

lice Judge of South Omaha. Now this
same judge had a saloon also, and be-
ing of a. thrifty turn of mind he did
not Wish to give up so good a paying
business as a saloon in a booming
town, so he decided to wear the white
apron and the judicial ermine at the
same time. It is “needless to say that
many amusing complications arose in
his court, and it afforded no end of fun
for the inhabitants of the tlIIiving

If the prisoner would say at the
“Bodega” or some other well- knowr
saloon the Judge would say in stento
rian tones:
“Ten tollars und costs—next. ”
So it would go down the line until
one would say that he got his beer at
the Judge’s saloon, and then the
Judge’s hard look would melt to one
of the sweetest smiles and he would

“Let dis man go; he is discharged.’
The culprits soon found out that it
was a good idea to get their beer at
the Reuther saloon, and it became hard
to find a drunk who did not tell the
Judge that he got his beer at the Court’s
saloon, but the Judge thought that his
trade did not correspond with the tale

‘ In... MOVING HOSPITALS.
A Foreign Novelty in Europe in the Way
of a. Railroad Luxury.
The railway hospital car is the latest
novelty in foreign railroading. In the
event of a serious accident, these cars
can be run to the place of the disaster,
Where the injured may be picked up
and carried to the nearest large city for
treatment instead of being left to pass
long hours at some wayside station
while awaiting surgical attendance. It
also enables the railway companies
at certain seasons or upon special oc«.
casions to transport large numbers of
Invalids to health resorts or places of
pilgrimage. The inteIior of the car is
divided into a main compartment, :1
cmrido’! on one side and two small
rooms at the end. The largest com-
partment is the hospital proper; it con-
tains twenty-four isolated beds. Each
patient lies in front of two little win-
dows. Each bed is provided with a
movable table, and a cord serves to
‘hold' all the various small objects
which the patient may require. The
corridOrs on the outside lead to the
linen closet and the doctor’s apart-
ment. Various trap doors in the floor,
when opened, disclose to view an ice
chest, :1 compartment for the disin-
fection of soiled linen, and a provision
,If necessary, a portion of the
hospital chamber may be transformed
into an operating room for urgent
cases. Finally, as customary abroad,
9. small chapel for religious worship is
provided. This car will be put in
charge of a surgeon and nurses and
will be chiefly used to carry invalids
from Belgium direct to the health re-
sorts of France.
WEARING BIRTH-MONTH STONES.
A Custom Brought from Poland, and
which is Thought to Avert Sickness.
The craze for wearing birth-month
stones does not emanate from America,
nor yet from Paris; London is not re-
sponsible for it, either. It is from re-
mote Poland that the odd notion
comes. Women there, according to
an old legend, are saved all manner of
ills by wearing the guardian charm
of the month in which they were born;
and men, too, if given such gems by
a woman, are also saved and ' bene-
fited.

The Tongue a Dangerous Weapon.
The tongues of same animals are very
dangerous weapons. A lion could read-
ily kill a man by licking him with his
tongue. The tongues of all the mem-
bers of the cat family are covered with
curious recurving spines, formed of
tough cartilage. In the common do-
mestic cat these spines are very small,
but are sufliciently well developed to
give the tongue a feeling of roughness.
in the fiercest animals, such as the lion
or tiger, these spines are frequentlv
found projecting up for an eighth of a 0
inch or more, with very sharp points.
or edges. While the mouth is lelflxt d
the tongue is soft and smooth, but
when the animal is excited to the fight-
ing pitch the spines become Iigid.

m MR. eLAns‘roNE’S TIME.
Some of the Things Uncle Sam nus Ac
. ‘ compllshed in_Sixty Years.
Mr. Gladstone made a. speech at the :
openingof a new bridge over the riveI -
Dee, and reviewed 'in an interesting
way one of the changes of a century
with which his life has been almost
coincident. It has been an age, he
said, which has greatly busied itself
in studying and improving the com-
munications of different portions of a
country and of all countries. In his
boyhood the whole of what was sent
by mail from Liverpool to London in
one day went in one coach. Now a
great mass of mail matter is exchanged
between the two cities at largely re-
duced rates, at twenty times the pace,
and the telegraph and telephone lines
are kept busy in addition. The tele.
phone, Mr, Gladstone said, even con-
veyed the voice as well as the message
and it might be that many persons
now y-oung would see in theii time de-
velopments and fresh changes not less
astonishing and beneficial than those
he had witnessed.
\II. Gladstone confined his remarks
to the subject of improv d cox: munica- -
tion; and it is to be regretted that he
could not have covered the whole field
from his point of observation. The
record in the United States will indi‘
cate the great changes originated by
our own people. It is just 100 years
ago since a New Jersey man produced
the first cast-iron plow, and ninety
year's so‘nce Fulton’s fiIst steamboat
accomplished its first trip. In 1820 an-
thracite coal was first'used for gen-
erating" steam, and it was not applied
to blast furnaces until 18402 Our first
locomotiv‘e was imported from Eng-
land in 1829, and now we have over
182,500 miles of steam railroad, ex--
ceeding that of all Europe by 20,000
miles. The first telegraph line in this
country was opened for business in
1845, the first cablegI-am was sent to
Euiope in 1858, the m .It telephone line
was operated in 1877, and the first trol-
ley street car line was opened in Rich-
mond, Va., at a later date, but a capi-
tal of (75,000,000 is now invested in
trolley roads and other electric enter-
prises. A new steam craft built in
this country made thirty—eight miles
an hour on her trial trip the other day.
Electricity has been successfully ap~
plied to steam railroads, and if the
hack could be sufficiently Well guard-
ed a speed of 100 miles an hour would
be easy.
In saying that the coming century
may witness changes as Iemarkable
as those of his own era Mr. Gladstone
speaks conservatively. The new
things will probably surpass the old.
but no mind can fOIesee what they
will be. It is gratifying to have rom
the old statesman an assurance that
the modern facilities of locomotion
give a moral as well as material bene-
fit. The better mankind know each
other, he algued, the better they
should understand their station in
life, “the more they should know how
to make allowance for each other, and
the more they should know how to
comprehend the great business and the
great science of life." These are the
words of a wise old optimist, whose
glance covers th-eworld in the onward
movement of its inter-relations.
THE CO~OPERATIVE IDEA.
It Always Affords a Seductive Theory to
Rainbow Chasers. ~-
The Debs movement to establish a
co ~‘ope1ative community has consideI-
able encouragement of a sentimental
kind. A great many people would
like'to see another trial of the idea.
more comprehensive than heretofore
made, hoping that it might disclose
some relief from the wastes and sav-
agery which they see in competition.
Others, without faith in the outcome,
will be pleased to have Mr. Debs, Mr.
Bellamy, Mr. Lloyd and Prof Herron
cease telling what others ought to do
for the amelioration of society and go
to work themselves on a definite plan
for its reconstruction. Certainly no
body can object to the experiment, but
on the contrary everybody will wish
it success, and take a lively interest
in its development. If the capitalists
are indeed absorbing such an exorbi-
tant share of the products of industry
as these leaders think, a gleat saving
Is possible through co- operation. No
argument has the force of a demon-
stration, and if they will organize a
community in which an honest man
willing to work, can get more comforts
fOI his label than he can outside of it
they will easily convert the whole
country to their views.
Cooperation, however, is not a new
thing in the world. A great many
people not so belligerent as these gen-
tlemen, have preached it as a remedy
for the troubles between capital and
labor. It has been tried in single in-
dustries and in the buying and selling
of goods, innumerable times. There
‘ is not a community in the United
States where the idea of cooperation.

Revolution Only Ten Years oil‘ Says W.
. . ’ - P. Morgan, M. P.
"inside the next ten years this coun-
h‘i’ will see the most awful revolution
that was astounded the world of late.
.That is myfirm conviction, hosed upon
more than one visit to the United
States.”
The Speaker was W. Prit‘chard Mor-
gan, Liberal member of Parliament for
Merthyr—Tydfil, Wales. who is known
In Great Britain as the ‘ Gold King,”
because of the magnitude of his gold
mining properties in North Wales. Mr.
Morgan had just arrived in New York
from a trip . round the world. He gave
his impressions of the United States to
a Sun reporter in a, manner that was
remarkably free from anything akin-
to “British reserve.”
“There is not a thing wanting in this
country,” he went on, “to make it the
greatest and the richest in the world,
yet you choose to destroy yourselves
by your infernal politics and your pro-
tection. You are so full of politics that
you can think of nothing else. Xeu
make a tremendous to-do over electing
a President, and no sooner is he elect-'
ed than you begin a new campaign to
see who will succeed him.
“You are so full of politics that you
are forever making laws. You make
laws to protect this branch and that
branch of manufacture, but you don’t
make any to protect the workers. Now
i am a radical, a red radical, a radical
of the deepest dye if you like, but I
admit that what you want is more con—
servatism; you want to stick closely to
what you have and not keep on mak-
ing changes. For God’s sake, what do
you want to change onIr President
every four years for? Why not keep
him in eight years? ' You would then
give your country a chance.
“All this changing of Postmasters, of
Consuls, of Ambassadors every four
years upsets every-thing, undoes all the
good that their predecessors have done.
i would upset the Constitution of the
United States, would 1?, I certainly
would. Why, 'we upset the constitu-
tion of Great Britain twenty times
every year. I tell you that. radical
though I am, I believe a good autoc-
I'acy would be a good Government if
we could only get a good fellow for
the aubocrat.
“The working claSSes are beginning
to think that they too should be pro-
tected. These trusts and combinations
that are being. tried for conspiracy are
undoubtedly lawless concerns, and yet
the laws are all made for their protec-
tion and the unfortunate consumer has.
to pay the piper. In Eng-land such
trusts would be punished. If sonic r‘e-
former does not rise up and alter
things here inside of eight or ten years
this country will be in a state of ter-
rific revolution.
“If you would only get these ptotec-
tionist ideas out of your heads you
would knock the trade of the world
sky high in a twelvemon-th.”
New, INDUSTRIAL COLONY.
New York Street Arabs to be Taught the
Science of Government and Farming.
-A new ecuntv started at Gardiner,
N. Y., by the Industrial Colony Asso-
ciation of New York city has begun op-
erations. Fred Walton, a twelve-year
old, has been elected Supervisor and
head constable, and laws have been
made against the breaking of things
about the county house, against every
sort of an assault, against doing any-
thing that might be inju-rious to the
health or comfort of the people of the
county, and against resisting an ofli-
cer when mrested. The county in-
cludes a 140- acre farm, one of the best
in the Wallkill Valley.
The population now is very small,
but by the first of July it is expected
that enough street arab's will have ar-
rived t'rom New York to fill up all the
available space. The scheme is to
teach the arabs the art of government
and the business of farming. An en-
tire county government is to be estab-
lished. There is to be a Sheriff :1
Judge, two Supervisots. two consta-
bles and a jail. The boss citizen of the
county is now Calvin W. Stewart, a
student in the Union Thelogical Semi-
nary, but- he will not hold any office.
The county is to have a mint and
money of its own. This money is to
be guaranteed by the potatoes and
beets and onions and other thin-gs that
will be raised on the farm, and at the
end of the season‘is to be redeemed in
produce of this sort.
Everybody in the county is to have
work. Ordinary laborers are to get 50
cents a, day in the coin of the county.
The better class of laborers are to get
80 cents, and the highest class 75 cents
a day. Violations of the law are to be
punished by fine or imprisonment, or
both, and if the association sticks to
Its detelmination to send the toughest
boys it can get hold of to make up the
population, maybe there won’t be a
great deal of coin to redeem at the end
of the season.

“For what you do that?” asked a
Bedouin guide, as he squatted besidi

that it was the American woman’s hus

Alphabet'on the Head of a Pin.
Frank J .‘MollenHauer is perhaps the
most expert engraver in New York, if
not inthe world. In delicacy of touch
and skill in handling delicate inst-ru—
ments his work is something marvel-
lous. His latest achievement was to
engrave the twenty-six letter of the
alphabet on the head of a pin. Under

form.

temperance people advice that would
have hoxrified the red- hot temperance
men and women of twenty-five years
ego. He counselled wisdom and mod-
eration instead of inconsiderate de‘
nuneiation. There were three conces‘
sions. he said, which temperance ad-
vocates were bound to make. One was
that while wines and liquors were not
indispensable to the welfare of man»
kind, they nevertheless had their legl’
timate uses. Anot‘hei was, that while
it was true that all con-firmed drunk-

all moderate drinkers do not become
confirmed drunkards. And third, oc-
