If you hold your : decision in re
serve for a month , waiting to see
which way the wind is blowing
"
( as court judges often do ) , then
the public will have about the

tains for a judge who is forever
taking a month to make a ' decision
which might be made in a minute.

W. T. Bullis and wife t returned
Saturday morning from a visit
with their daughter and son-in-
law , Mr. and Mrs. Cole , ofSt. .
Louis , Mo. . , where they enjoyed a
good time seeing the sights nearly
three months , and think St. Louis
a beautiful place to live. Mr.
and Mrs. Cole are enjoying good
health. ' lr. Bullis says he saw
the veiled prophet , 'the aviators
and their ships , the balloon races ;
saw President : Taft and his party
and thirty or more governors ,
representative and senators at
,
"The , , Deep Water Ways" con-
vention , andsaw % Dr. Cook , _ the '
man who faked the North pole.
Mrs. Bullis comes ) back in good
health and good spirits , and both
are glad to get back home. It
seemed just as cold to them in St.
Louis with the thermometer play
ing around zero as , here. ' One
would probably ] have to follow the I
sun over the eql1ator ; , to keep
warm thesd days' . . I
