From Tuesday's Dally-
Last evening the members of the
riattsmouth bar entertained at a
very pleasant 6 o'clock dinner party
at the parlors of the First Presby
terian church in honor of two of the
officials, of Cass county who are re
tiring from a service of several dec-
,ades in their respective ofTices. The
1 honor guests were Allen J. Beeson,
who is leavlne the office of county
judge after eighteen years in that
position and James M. Robertson,
who is rounding out twenty-one
years of service in the office of clerk
if the district court.
i:.'LThe dinner had been arranged by
the members of the bar ana tne la
dies of the Presbyterian church had
hen asked to assist in the success
'of the affair by the preparation and
, serving of the dinner and tney uui
iheir part in ine niosi ineasiug man
ner with a menu that would tempt
the most exacting epicure.
The menu served the disciples of
lackstone was most delicious and
was as follows:
Grapefruit
Heal Lettuce Salad
Chicken I'ie
Ma sheil l'otatoes Peas
Hot Buttered Holls
Apple a la mode Mints
Coffee
When the delights of the repast
had been disposed of by the lawyers
(and there was none of the law's de
lay in this respect) the toast list
was opened by Judge James T Beg
ley, who presided and very cleverly
introduced the members of the bar
for brief remarks that reflected their
sentiments toward the two distin
guished guests of honor of the even-
I ing.
The members of the bar had ar

dresses of the evening should De giv

and in his own very pleasing man
ner Mr. Martin delighted tne mem
bers of the party with a poem that
told in clever manner of the genuine
good feeling that prevailed and was
a gentle and much appreciated trib
ute to his old friend and neighbor.
Judge Beeson. The poem of Mr.!
Martin was as follows: I
I shall always remember and
reret very much
The committee of lawyers who
got me in dutch.
Who laush ami jeer, appla'.id
and fjloat
That I am the one whom they
made the (?oat.
They undoubtedly arranged their
veneeance to wreak
When they selected me as the
one to speak.
For they very well knew each
moi her's son,
That a task of that kind could
. not be done.
To suppose an address, however
short.
Could be tnade by a lawyer or
een ttie Court.
On occasion like this when
we celebrate
A Judge's retirement with
solemnity great.
Is out of the question, no one but
a "boob"
Would accept such a task be he
statesman or rube.
I confess to having been an
easv mark
To have fallen for that commit
tee's lark.
However, that's past, so let
us ro
With Robertson. Kieck and ,
also Joe,
And of the feast let's
partake
In honor of our old friend
Jake.
He's been Judge (this may cause
tears)
Of the County Court for seven
teen years.
And in all decisions he has
given
He's been square as the Lord of
! Heaven.
Bring Her Along!

C. E. Wescofct's Sonus
"ON THE CORMER"
He's made mistakes as anyone
would,
But he's always done what he
b'lieved he should.
That's my opinion of the
Judge
And from that position I will
not budge.
Before election politicians would
shout
And wonder how they could get
him out
From the place he held so long-,
you see.
Man's mind runneth not to
the contrary.
Before last April he then
decided
To leave the bench on which he
presided.
And hang out his shingle on
which would be
His name, of course, as
attorney.
He thinks, no doupt, and does
surmise
That he, like Solomon, is wonder
fully wise
That clients to him will jump
and run
To engage him as counsel just
for fun.
But he'll find out. if wise as
a cricket.
A Judge's salary is a good meal
ticket.
From month to month is a very
short term
When rent falls due and why
we squirm
How to pay same with other
bills
Makes lawyers' lives full of thrills
and chills.
He will now know why the col
lectors frown
When they see the door sign, '
"lie's out of town."
When you start anew to practice
law,
llemember the line that you
must taw.
If clients want Tidd, don't be
so rank
And say come to my o!Tice over
the bank.
Nor say that we have left
this port
Since you quit as Judge of the
County Court.
Because we think quite well of
you now.
Such conduct In you would start
a row.
And you. I fear, (now put this
down
Would have to pack up and then
leave town.
For other lawyers to me do
roar
That business now is awfully
poor.
Don't think because we've bought
this feed
We had a lot of money we didn't
need.
That you can come to us now
and then
And borrow a twenty or even
a ten.
We note you have announced
the fact
With cards and gusto and great
tact,
Law o..ces you'll open over a
bank.
That you're an attorney of very
great rank.
Just wait until you have to
pay
You'll then know why we've not
done such.
That things of this kind cost
too much.
Well. Judge, remember this is
no joke
If these written lines were
truly spoke
And you ever need a helplns
hand
From any of these of our little
band.
Just make It known, you need
not plead
To find that each is a friend.
indeed.
To assist you. Judge, either
would go
Many a mile through rain or
snow.
The ladles so kind, who set us
this spread.
I feel that something for them
should be said.
Tl.e dinner is splendid and
also neat.
To each one partaking it's surely
a treat.
Men who possess such wonderful
wives
Should certainly enjoy very
long lives.
We lawyers confess your efforts
a winner
In preparing and serving this six
o'clock dinner.
That lawyer committee who
Planned the mess
And decreed I deliver a short
address.
At the meeting of this bar
tonight.
I trust will be haunted both left
and right
'Till to you and me they
apologize
With contrite hearts and tears in
their eyes.
And vow they will never to the
end of time
Commit again such a heinous
crime.
Of course these lines to you that
are here
Won't sound like lines from
Mr. Shakespeare,
Because they were written while
on the run
To get here in time when the
eats begun.
I felt I would have a very small
chance
If I got here late with you
In advance.
For lawyers, like preachers, love
yellow-legged chicken.
To be tardy meant mighty poor
pickln'.
Each of the members of the bar
gave very brief and sincere tributes
to the two officials of the courts
who are severing their connection
with the office in which they have
proven the right men in the right
place.
Attorney C. A. Rawls, one of the
oldest members in years of service in
the bar here, was called upon and
after a short address covering the
tribute of the bar to their friends,
presented Judge Beeson with, a very
handsome gold watch as a token of
the esteem of his co-laborers in the
law and Mr. Robertson with a hand
some mahogany rocking chair in
which he may find many hours of
comfort when the burdens of official
life fall from his shoulders and he
can enjoy a well earned rest.
The two guests of the evening
made a very feeling response to the
words of praise given them and an
appreciation of the beautiful gifts
that had been presented to them.
Those who enjoyed the occasion
were: Judge James T. Begley, Judge
Allen J. Beeson, James M. Robertson,
C. A. Rawls, J. A. Capwell, W. O.
Kieck, William A. Robertson, L. L.
