Kansas, is an excellent type of the fron tier juatice of the peace. A few weeks after he bad assumed the judicial er atiae, figuratively speaking, a horse" thief waa captured in the squire's baili wick and waa brought before him for hearing, with the expectation a fore-. gose conclusion, by the way in the aaiad of the prosecuting attorney, that the prisoner would be bound over to the district court in proper form without a hitch. The day of trial came and the squire's better-half had cleared the commodious kitchen for the assembling of court, evtn giving the floor a good scrubbing that it might ba as f reo from stains as the escutcheon of the great state her husband locally represented. The prosecuting attorney was first to arrive, followed in a few moments by the prisoner, safe in the grasp of a burly country constable, and trooping behind theaa came a score or more of suspicious looking individuals who were clearly the frieads of the accused. The defendant's attorney strode in a moment later. Squire Timberson wore a look of dig nity befitting his responsible position, though down in -his heart he felt a sick eaiag aaalm as to just what the occasion called f or oa his part and his lower limbs wobbled suspiciously when he arose frost behind the kitchen table, a temporary judicial bench. Now It happened that the squire knew nothing of legal lore or judicial fecat, his sole knowledge along the lines t authority having been dermxHrom a worn copy of Robert's -Bales of Order" aad a study ia boyhood days -of Cash lag's "Maaaal."

Suddenly, and without previous warn ing, the defense, in the person of the prisoner's attorney, made an unexpected move, which, however it affected the equanimity of the state's attorney, at least took the squire off his guard. The prisoner's council arose, beaming pleasantly; and evidently "with malice aforethought and evil intent," said: "May it please the court, I move that this case be dismissed and the prisoner discharged from custody." The squire was all alert, and whatever had been the clouded state of his judi cial mind as to what to do before, it was perfectly clear now. All the rules- de fined and laid down by Roberts came fresh to memory, and he roared in a deep bass voice: "Do you make that there as a motion, airr "I do," replied the prisoner's counsel. The squire glanced expectantly over the courtroom and failing by hia glance titfelicit that which ahould he thought ahould be forthcoming, he gravely in quired: "Do I hear a second to that motion?" A friend of the prisoner promptly seconded tke motion, and the squire swelled with importance as he looked over the kitchen table and put the ques tion. "It has been moved an' seconded that this 'era case be dismissed an' the pris oner be discharged. Are ye rejdy tor tee question?' "Question," "question,' came from a doasa throats. The squire, in all solemnity, looking over the head of the prosecuting attor ney, who waa trying to gain his atten tion, repeated slowly: 'All tase who air in favor of the moUoa signify by sajing 'AyeT A chorus of "Ayes" came in response from the lips of the prisoners friends, ia which chorus defendant's counsel led. "All those that air opposed say 'coT Only the prosecuting attorney and the burly constable voted in the negative and the squire firmly decided: "The 'Ayes' have it an' the prisoner's dis charged!" All efforts of the state's attorney to show error in tha proceedings proved futile, for the squire insisted that the "Ayes'' had it, and "I wouldn't be on fair it every dog-blasted hossthief in the state got free!" Owing to the squire's sense of honor in this respect the constable stalked oat of the court room without a prisoner. The Court-Crier.
