Wagner'a young' ton appeared at the back door of Mra. Brown'a residence and, aiu aumlng a" formal air, delivered hlmeelt of the fojlowlng: "Mra. Warneka compliment!, ma'am, and could you lend her the loan of a doten ? Mrs. Brown could and would and did.

That voimd refused the tender and do mr.nded two and one-half doaen. that being the preseftt equivalent of the orllnally In veitd W cnlt. ' Forthwith the matter got Into court. A riltsburg judge sidestepped the "grave a. onomic .Question" Involved and contented himself wlfh binding both women over to keep the peace. This sidestepping has necessitated the local Investigation and th opinions of the Duuglas county judges are herewith set forth. i Mast Favar Mra. Wagaer. A majority of the local jurists opine that Mra. Wagner made sufficient tender, but there are one or two exceptions. Bi,mewha,t astonishingly Judge Howard Kennedy U inclined to think the matter mall anil of little Importance. "It reminds ma," aatd ha, "of that i-a Involving 12 22, which 'came before "Judge Button .In .Washington county and which he offered to settle by paying the $2 11 am' the coats rather than try U.' "If It were to be a really fair trial," ays Judge Sutton, "the oass ought to be heard by a Jury of women, all of them housewives. They would know what Is the established custom In these cases." Judge Day was willing to admit' that "a, nice and fine point Is Involved and glad that It won't come bafora ma." Judge Leslie of the county court had his head full of the Connor will case and when approached deftly got from under by say ing ha "would rule on the question If It ever comes before me." Judges Redlck, Beers and Troup were un sympathetic toward Mrs. Brown and held the tender sufficient, but Judge Estelle could sympathlae at least with her point of view. "Suppose Mrs. Wsgner had de faulted payment entirely," he argued. "Mrs. Brown would have sued for JO cents find won, would she not?" IamI Mrs. Browns will do well accord ingly to have their case tried before Judge Kstelle if possible.
