Omlhn has n judge who has become no-

name Is Scott Among the recent emana-
lens from his court was the sentencing a
young man to live year ul hard labor In
the penItentiary for stealing two cloaks.
The account does not state the value ot
the cloaks. The supposition Is that the
cloaks were common ordinary garments
wotlh probably 130 or $10 From the severity
of the sentence the supposition would be
that the prisoner had stolen two costly sealskin -
skin cloaks or two Imperial wraps. Had
. Mosher been sentenced In lIke proportIon
for the crimes he committed . the sentence
would have been for I period of ab3ut 2.60
years Another case the same day was the
senteclng ot a young man for three yearn
In the penitentiary for stealing a bicycle.

'be more "mnldng the penalty lit the crime. "

differ In degree and that extreme severity
Is no more than extreme leniency

, TIE LtDY'UKE TOO SUU"
Minneapolis TJm 8.
The car was very crowded and the isle
was crowded , too
And just then n woman entered and she
boldly elbowed timrough
And she stood In anxious wnltng for some
salnnt mica of fame
To vacate his seat mind grant her a clear
Ute to the same !
For three weary blocks she waited , when a
gentleman arose
And'ldndly whispered to her she might have
his late repose :
.he kind nulterld glee and , she gurgled In n giggling
And urged him to maintain hIs seat In his
serenity ;
She really couldn't take It and he must r-
sume hIs seat ,
She urged him and she pushed him and she
did It wondrous sweet .
tOut I took her ozone from her when he
answered . "Madam dear ,
I wish I could oblIge you , but Ive got to
gel oft here ! "
