We always hate to see a political squabble. We hale to afa a pair of men figuring for the office of gov ernor or aenator, like a pa r of game cocks. The worat feature about theeo chea|i rough-house ftatlruffa la that, If they did not please the audience, they would not occur. 8o It all come, hack on the public and It all allow* vfhat the composite llkcneaa of our electorate i*. Pretty toor, eh? Well, let s not euah to a conclusion. Had aa aonte thing* are. otoera are worse We don’t Ilk® to acn unpleasant and un dignified flghta. hut, better thla aort of thing than well-bred corruption going on In hidden placea and fester ing until the whole social body la polaoned and dene ascii. We are talkiuK, of course, about the row over tbo Judgeship, now hold by Judgo Hammond At first blush, one would say: ''Here It la! Here Is the evil of putting »uch matter* aa tna choice of a Judge before the public. Her* 1* what cornea of Baking the luau ou the farm and the man on tha •treat to Judge or a Judge." Certain ly the system lack* perfection and dignity, but what of the others? It la dignified and seemly enough to let the governor appoint the Judges, but tost system builds up political machinery of a far more dangerous nature, albeit a far more elegant and mannerly method of procedure. The Independence of the Judiciary la the thing we want. It Is clsiraed that a Judge cannot he Independent If he has to go before the people and eeek their approval and patronage. We think this Is true enough, but the problem la to find * way that really doe* give greater Independence. The public can Judge Judges Juat aa Impartially aa those who are work ing the political game There Is far leas danger of loaing independence In an effort to please the public than In an effort to keep the political bosses buttered down A Judge should be free of political strings, but, until w* devise a means of freeing him of these stVihgs. it Is better to satisfy ourselves with the evils of an Indif ferent system than to return to the more aggravated evils of a distinctly l>ad system It all colfles down to the simple question of whether a Judge, who Is appointed by a political boss, or leader la likely to serve the public ae Impartially snd aa broadly aa one who la given hit place by the vote or the people. It U true that political rings hav* their potent Influences In matters that are set before the voting public, but at the very least, these Influences are more varying and more easy to throw off than those which she fostered by powerful political ma chinery and are worked without the Jar and confusion of public Interfer ence.

THE USES OF ADVERSITY. (By Samuel Smiles.) A man who watt a calico printer at Manchester, England, was I by Ilia wife on their wedding day to allow her two half«plnta of ale a day, n« her share. Me rather winced at ihe harga n for. although a drlfrker himself, ho would hHve preferred a perfectly sober wife. They both tvotkel hard; and he, poor man, watt seldom out of the public-house a* toon as the factory was closed. She had her dally pint, and he. per haps, had hls two or three quarts, and neither Interfered with the other, except that, at odd times, she suc ceeded, by dint of one little artifice or another to win him homo an hour or two earlier at night , and now anti t rn. to spend an entire evening In bin own house. They had been married a year, and on the morning of their wedding an niversary the husband looked ask ance ai her neat and comely person with some shade of remorse as he said, "Mary, we've had no holiday since we were wed; and, onlv that 1 have not a penny In the world, we’d take a Jaunt down to the village to see thee mother." “THE CHANGED AMERICAN That tlt character of ths Anisrloan people have changed much In the last twenty-five jears and la changing tnrther la beyond dlapute; and wheth er thia change la or la not due In any considerable part to immigration I*, naturally, an open question But eth r.ologlsta say that the cltlxen of the United State* In developing physically Into a different type of man that ha* heietofore existed, the result showing very clearli the mingling of different strain* of blood on a grater scale and In * more rapid way than has ever been exhibited before In history.

"If thee’d like to go, John, I’ll stand treat." "Thou stand treat," said he with a half sneer. "Hast thou a fortune, wench?" "Nay," said Bhe, “but I’ve gotten the pint o ale." ''Gotten what?" said he. "The pint o’ ale!" said she. John still didn’t understand her til the faithful creature reached down an old stocking from under a loose brick of the chimney and counted out her dally rint of ale in the shape of three hundred and sixty-five three penres, i. e., four pounds, four shil lings and sixpence, and put them Into his hand, exclaiming, "Thou shalt have thee holiday, John!" John was ashamed, astonished, clnscience-stricken, charmed and wouldn't touch it, "Hasn't thee hud thy share? Then I ha’ no more!" lie said. He kept hls word. They kept tt-lrir wedding day with molcer; and the wife's little capital was the nu cleus or a series of frugal Invest ments that ultimately swelled out Into a snop, s factory, warehouses, a country seat, carriage and, perhaps, a Liverpool mayor. A School Teacher’s Vacation In the Woman's Home Companion appear a number of prize-winning let ters in a vacation contest. The con test was participated in by business girls -that is. women who earn their own living either in business or teach ing. A school teacher describes, o.a follows, how she and her daughter, also a school teacher, took their va cation : My daughter Myra and I had just been released from an eight-weeks' quarantine. I had lost two months' salary at school, my daughter had a like amount, and her health was still very poor. “The doctor, too, had ordered coun try air and country fare, and w® were broke.’ As I was reviewing the situa tion with a friend, he said: Til tell you what to do. HAying is about to begin, come out to our ranch and cook for our crew. My wife \\ants to go on a visit to her mother, and this will give her the opportunity; you say you are a practical domestic science teach er, show me.’ “That put me on my mettle, and 1 accepted. For nine weeks I cooked for that crew, breakfast at half past five. But such luxuries! Hggs, cream and milk to cook with, an abundance of fresh vegetables and the finest meat in the land. And what a Joyous time M>ra had, horseback riding, swim ming. walking, hay-riding and helping me. “At the end of the nine weeks she looked like a young Indian and had not an ache nor a pain, and I, too, *a* ready for my winter s work, healthier and happier, with my bill paid and a small surplus.'' DELIBERATIVE IGNORANCE. Borne time ago thera was a homicide case in a western court in which there was considerable doubt aa to the guift of the accused The trial Judge seem ed to share the popular belief. "Gentlemen of the Jury." said he. in concluding hie charge, "if the exidence in your minds shows that penumonla was the cause of the man's death, you cannot convict the prisoner." Whereat the Jury retired and In about ten minutes the constable returned and presented himself before the Judg. "Your honor." h remarked, "the gen tlemen of the Jury want eome informs- j lion." "On what point of evidence? ’ asked the Judge "None, Judge. ’ was the rejoinder of the constable "They want to know how \ to spell 'pneumonia.'"

"We are the gnoifle3 and w e know wuat to do If you can do what we ask you will help us, and at the same time you will he paid for what you do by having the finest farm anywhere around, for back of the old giant cave is a beautiful gar den filled with vegetables that grow larger than any in this part or tlie country.” As the Gnome spoke he clapped his hands and the side of the mountain opened, for they were Inside it, you remenjber. and Peter saw the larg est horse he had ever seen, saddled and waiting “Get on," said the Gnome, who did all the talking. Peter did as he was told As quick as a flash all the lit tle men sprang up aster him. They perched on the head of the horse and clung to his name and hung to his legs; in fact, Peter could not see the horse at all. The little men were as thick as Tiles. Away flew the horse, for he did not walk as Peter soon discovered, and looU ng down he saw a tiny pair of wings on each of its feet. They landed on the top of a moun tain an I the Gnome told P#ter to dismount. "You must go to that cav- you see just below," auid the Gnome, |and there you will find the plant. You must find some way to get his boots.” Peter ran down mountain to the door to the rave without thinking what he should do when he got there ""hat it that I fioar?" said a voice which sounded to Peter like thun der. "Please sir. I want a drink of water," said Peter, not knowing what else to *ay "Where did you come from?" asked the giant. "I cams up the mountain to see you. said Peter' "Well, what do you think of me. now you have seen me?" asked the giant. "I think you are the biggest ma* 1 ever saw. and I did not think any one could grow to be so large. 'I wish I coufd grow to be at big as you are.” "Don you— asked the glanL -Well, that gives me an idea. Come in here." The giant led th# way into his cave, which was the whole inside of the mountain, and so high that Peter could not see the top The giant went to a kettle thai wna hung over a fire and put some herb* Into It Then he stirred and atlrred and then he poured it Into a cup that was so large that Peter had to set it on the floor and climb up on the side to drink out oT it. "That is enough for now." said the giant "After a while you can take acme more" Peter felt h tnself growing tall and the giant told him to take a second drink. “Now we will wait a while,” said th egiant. “This will make' you naif as large as 1 am and the third drink will be as large as I want you to grow but I will go to sleep while vou are growing and you cadi do the same " But Peter did not sleep. He kept awake and as soon as the giant snored he took another drink xrom the cup. This made him almost as large as the giant. Peter went to the kettle. He was so big now he could reach it easily, and tais time he took a good big drink. By the time he had finished he was as big again as the giant, and Peter say a way to get the boots. Ha awoke the sleeping giant, who bat up, rubbed his eye 3 and looked at Peter first with astonishment and then with fear. “Take off your boots," said Peter. And the giant obeyed. Peter put them outside' trie door of the cave. Then he thought oi something. He did not want to be as large as he was all the time, so he astted the giant, who sat trembling on the floor how- ho could become small again, the giant. "This will make you half The giant told him in a aurry, for he thought he could get his boots back when Peter was small again. He ran to his cupboard and took from a jug and poured some liquid into a bowl. "Drink this," he said, holding it toward Peter. "No," said Peter, "you drink first.” The giant began to tremble and step away irom Peter. But Peter followed aim and told hint to driuk. He looked so big and strong tue frightened giant obeyed, and Peter, as he watched him gi ow small, uiau i him dr nk and dnuit until at last i~- was smaller tnan Peter nad been. "Diink more," said Peter, as the giant—or what had been the giau 4 stopped drinking. He took one mo.o swallow and gave a quter scream, and Peter saw running through the doorway of tne cate a rabbit, wiiich soon was lost to sight in the bushes. Then Peter drank some oi me liquid irom thy jug, but he stopped wn®n he was tlie size of a man, for he thought ne could get on belter ,n the world it ne did not have to wait to grow up. He went to the door of the cave to ! get the boots, but all he found were two stones. W'hfle he Stood there wondeiing wTiat had become of the boots he saw the little brovzf men running toward him. “Bravo, bravo," they cried, gather ing around him. "Don't worry about tiie boots They will remain stones and never trample gardens again. And now looa around your farm."
