at Macon. Mo. ".Jcem like nobody could
IH alii ad of him. he . as iliat sin irt. In
the course of time he noticed that the ral.
road would rath?;- settle small , damage
suits than go to law. So one day when
the sparks fiotn an nuine burned up a
little patch of meadow that you wild
eover over with a pair of home blanket,
he went around to two it throe neiahhoie
and asked them If they'd like to uke a
trip down to headrniartri at 'his expense.
This wan es money for 'em, and they all
aid, 'You let.'
" 'The dnrned road burned up my
meadow over yonder." taid .lomiHian. 'and
I want to aee 'em about It. You boya
know that forty over there.
"Of course they did, and. though they'
hadn't eern what the railroad had done
to It they were willing to l:ike Jonathan's
word for It, being an he was paying their
way and was Kolng to give 'cm their vic
tuals and a few drinks hesidee.
"When they reached town Jonathan
took 'em to a nice, unlet place on a side
street, where they had a good dinner, and
afterward he called for drinks alt around.
Then they went down to the office build
ing. Jonathan put one of his men to walk
ing up and down the platform, like he
was waiting for a train, and posted the
others up street a nays, looking Into the
how windows and gating about like
country fellows do when they come to
town.
Heady for the Toarh.
"With tha company drilled so they would
know exactly what to do, Jonathan goes
upstairs and asks for the claim agent.
" 'I live up on your road aways,' says
Jonathan, 'and ship lota of stock over
your road; never had any trouble till this
when your engines burned up my meadow
forty over there on your right-of-way; the
fire spread and burned up seventeen panels
ef fence and some trees I wouldn't have
took a lot for. I'm a poor man and don't
like lawsuits, so I thought I'd call around
and talk It over with you.'
"The claim agent liked that sort of talk
and Immediately began to get social. He
took down Jonathan's figures, suggested
a deduction here and there, which reduced
the amount slightly and Jonathan very
pleasantly assented.
" 'Now,' said the claim agent, 'we'll have
to have a little proof on this, you know;
sorter matter of Conn. Do you reckon
there' anybody from your neighborhood
In town today T
"Jonathan said ha didn't know.. He
walked over to the window and began
looking up and down the platform.' Bud
denly he spied his picket and exclaimed:
" 'There's Hill llargia lives right ad
Jolnln' I'll call him.'
"Bill was summoned and entered the of
fice cap In hand. The claim agent Inter
rogated him and ha promptly corroborated
Jonathan's loss; not only that, he said
there were several more men from tile
. neighborhood in town that day and volun
teered to fetch 'em. When he brought 'em
In Jonathan said:
" 'Boys, you remember the big fire over
n my meadow t'other day, when the wind
was blowtn' ao; the gentleman there wants
to know about what you think that 'stand'
was worth; whatever you say ifoes; 1 only
want to do what s right.'
They gave the figures as Jonathan had
previously given to them, making such
natural variations as would prevent sus
picion of a frame-up. The proof seemed
o overwhelming that the claim was set
tled. Jonathan gave his boys another drink
all around and their supper.
Next year, about the time things were
In good condition to burn, Jonathan was
down with another claim for damages.

One reason for this Is that It Is not con- J name of every practitioner before the
stdeted dignified to adopt Innovations. Dig
nity Is the principal stock-in-trade of the
supreme court. Nothing else Is quite, so
close to Its heart. It accounts for a multi
tude of oddities some people call them sins.
For Instance, dignity Is responsible for the
long, black robes that enshroud the Justices
as they appear on the bench. This Jealous
mistress, liignlty, has kept the court at
work for years In a niche In the wall be
tween the house and the senate, quarter

every year, but never, save possibly when
a man goes to the penitentiary, is a name
taken off the roll.
Rules of admission to the bar. he will
notice, have been softened by custom. The
court takes for- granted many of the re
quirements set forth in its printed regu
lations. Nearly every day when the court
meets he will hear some member of the
bar addressing the acting chief Justice In
an apologetic "way. It probably will be
Solicitor General Bowers, for it Is regarded
as a double honor to be Introduced by a
legal light of the government and by a
man, who Is generally recognized as more
will continue "for more than three years
a member of the highest court In his siate"
and then Taster than llalley s comet In
ll orbit "and Is othnwlse qualified under
Us rules." The last means that the ap
pl ennt Is of good moral character, but
by a very, vei y old custom the coui t per
mits the Introducer to pavs over iliat
feature of the rules as rapidly as possi
ble. "Where Is he?" the chief Justice may
be fotced to Inquire, for the chance are
that the applicant has been so overcome
back In the same coin When Jusllce Mhlraa
was on the bench, a nise came before the
lourt Involving the patent on a tollar but
ton. The counsel In addressing the bench
was explaining the button's merits In glow
ing terms.
"Will the counsel plrsse tell us." Inter
rupted J-jstlce snlras. with his face long
and sober looking. "If (Ills button possesses
that Invaluable merit of proof against be

It so happened that that very morning
Justice Harlan, had been tehlng his breth

floor, before he came to court, on the trail
of a delusive collar button. The court

ceremony, as far as the Justices observe."
More or less discretion Is allowed the
counsel In addressing the court. Some
times the Justices are shocked and bear
with It. and some times they don't. One
day A. K. Crane of Knnsas, almost stue
fled the court by addressing these dignified
personage as "you fellows." That was once
the court remained silent. Another Kan
sas member of the bar. Mr. l-ynn of Allen
county drew forth an Investigation on the
part of the officers of the court, when he
appeared to argue a case. He took his
scat at the counsellor a table without the
semblance of a collar or necktie around
his neck. Such dress might be proper for
appearance before a Justice of the peace
In Kansas, but the court officers were de
termined to prevent any such precedent
being established before the Justice' of the
supreme court.
Fortunotely, Mr. Lynn's partner was with
him. He explained upon being questioned,
that his partner suffered from an afflctlon
of the throat which forbade his wear
ing a collar. The officers were not In-
the Justices; he was not a member of the
Harlan household, nor had he been In the
robing room that morning; he tried to pro
ceed, but he could not get started again,
and almost Immediately afterward sat
down.
A lawyer's favorite reply to an undesir
able question from the bench Is: "I am
coming to that In a moment. If your honor
please." Often that reply riles the blood
of the Justices. A Mr. Wllby was address
ing the court when Justice Jackson asked
a question which led to the reply from the
counsel befuie the bar: "I am coming to
that In a moment."
"You are right there now, Mr. Wilt-Be."
declared the Justice, with an emphasis that
left no doubt about the pun.
Few lawyers have enough courage to ad
dress the court as did Sidney Bartlett.
While arguing a case. Mr. Bartlett had
occasion to state what he considered to be
the general rule of law applicable.
"That Is not the law." Interrupted Justice
Gray. '
"It was the law until your honor spoke,"
suggested Mr. Bartlett.
Custom, governing the counsel of the
court, once got s black ee. and from a
woman, too. In ISTf. l'.elva l.ockwo .d made
application for admission to the bar. The
Justices were shocked and horrified They
consented to take the matter under con
sideration. Finally a decision was reached,

agalni-t the custom to almli women to prac

Captain Keating Honored by

Captain W. If. Keating of Oskaoosa. Ia.,
was elected vice commander of the Army
f the Philippines at Its recent conven
tion. ' Mr.' Keating was born In Koston,
Mass., and when a small hoy came with
hi parents to lowa In the sixties, settling
on a farm near Belle Plains. Graduating
from the law department of Drake univer

T, Third regiment. Iowa National Guard,
at tha breaking out of the war with Spain.
On April 16, 1WW, he with his company

while the regiment was in cimp at an
Franclaco, it was observed that be waa a
rigid disciplinarian, and his persistent ef
fort for the sanitary condition of the camp
brought him Into favorable notice of hla
auperlor officers and even the visitors who
called on the regiment.

Chief Justice Fuller had a fine voice when

his last years he delivered them In the

still talks ho that you can hear him. Hla i
wtirds, loudly and plainly enunciated, are
a pleasure toy hear. How soon he will be
gin to acquire the "whispering habit," no
one can say.
There are a few innocent amusements
that the new Justice may Indulge In, when
attorneys Insist on talking after he has de
cided in hla own mind the merits of the
case, for custom recognises that It is awful
to be condemned to devote the mind ex
clusively for the rest of life to listening
to bickerings of lawyers. Drawing pictures
waa one of the pastimes of Justice Shlras.

With a chief Justice It Is different. Chief '

the early eighties, but he thought later that '

the dignity of his office. The late Justice
