AN HONEST JUDICIARY
Judge Yerkes' Declaration Aa to th*
Duty of Members of
the Bench.
In his acceptance of the Fusion nom
ination for the supreme court, Hon.
Harman Yerkes thus farcibly writes:
"I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 12th
inst. informing me of my nomination
by the Union Party for the office of
justice of the supreme court of Penn
sylvania.
"This nomination coming to ma as
the unanimous expression of confidence
from a convention composed of repre- :
sentative Republicans of the highest |
character, I regard as a very great
honor.
"In reply to your expressed belief
that, if elected. I will fill the office to
the satisfaction of the people of the
commonwealth, regardless of political
affiliations. I can only respond in the -
terms of my acceptance of the nomina
tion for the same office by the Demo
cratic party. My election will not be
a partisan victory. The office for which
you have named me is non-political,
and I would belie my record of 18 years
upon the bench and would betray and
insult my supporters if, in the event
of an election, I could degrade myself
by cherishing a partisan or political
purpose in the execution of any duty j
of my office, or If I should stoop so
low as to allew myself or my office
to be used to the prejudice of or to the
favor of any party, class, Interest,
enemy or friend.
"As a judicial officer I never have
considered any man's position, class,
trade or occupation, circumstances,
friendships or enmities, and, God will
ing, I never will. My only pledge is
that, if elected. will devote all ray j
strength and ability to a faithful dis
charge of the duties of my office. I
will obey and uphold the constitution.
I will endeavor to Interpret the law
justly, relying upon its sound princi
ples. following established rules, and
giving due weight to reasonable pre- :
cedents.
"Whatever opposition may he incited
against my candidacy by any class,
corporation, organization or individ
uals. as a result of a strict adherence
In the past to these just rules of Ju
dicial duty and conduct, I shall observe j
thorn. I have an abiding confidence
that the whole people of Pennsylvania,
realizing at this time as never before
the necessity of upholding the admin
istration of the courts in promoting
law and order, will endorse her judi
ciary in every effort to maintain the
highest standard of duty and impar
tiality.
"I accept your nomination upon the
assurance that the contest for my elec
tion will be made not for partisan ad
vantage but in the interest of all Penn
sylvania.
"With great respect, I am,
"Your obedient servant,
An Ancient Cnrcrn.
Father Karner, who is assisted '
financially in his underground research
es by the Austrian Imperial Academy i
of Science, reports that he has discov
ered in Eseito, In Hungary, nn artificial
cavern of large size, with rooms, pas
sages and steps. From writings and
cuttings on the walls it appears that in
3680 many Hungarian nobles took ref
uge here. A woman's name, with the
date 1738, is also visible. On the
ground in the lowest vault a prehistor
ic urn, with fragments of other an
cient vessels, was found, showing that j
the cavern had been occupied in an- i
dent times.

CASTOniA.
Bear, the The Kind You Have Always Bought j
! THE EYE OF AIM ARTIST.
A Case Where It Waa More Reliable
Than a Sullor'a Optic.
Mr. N. Chevalier, the well known
artist who accompanied the late Duke
of Kdinburgh on many of his travels,
was once going from Dunedtn to
Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer.
Anxious to catch the earliest glimpse
of the coast he went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that the vessel
was beading straight on to the laud.
Calling the officer's attention to the
fact, he was told that It was only a
fog hank. The artist maintained his
j point, but the second officer looked
i and confirmed his mate.
The artist then said: "Well, gentle
men, I will back my artist's eye
against your sailor's eye, and I say
that what you mistake for a fog bank
is a low range of hills, and there Is a
range of mountains appearing above
them."
But he was only laughed at, until
the captain coming on deck found in
the growing light that the artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The ves
sel was out of its course, and there
waa only Just time to avert disaster.
The helinsmuu was dismissed In dis
| grace and the course given to the new
steersman, but the vessel's head still
I pointed landward—the compass was all
i wrong.
| The cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveler had brought n box
i of magnets on board and deposited
| them in a stern cabin, causing what
might have been a fatal deflection of
the compass.
I To return to the question of inter
pretation, the artist was dealing with
the appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter
pret. A speck on the horizon might
hare remained a mere speck to him
long after the sailors had interpreted
the speck into n vessel of doflnlte rig.
There can be little doubt that the
trained eye is accompanied by a sort
of mental seeiug, an Instinct outrun
ning optics.
THE CHICKEN YARD.
| No henhouse that is frequently dust
ed with lime will be infested with lice.
I.line purifies the quarters and dries
them. It is cheap and should be used
' plentifully.
Always have the nests so low that
the hens can step In rather than be
1 obliged to jump down.
If the fowls get too fat, opts as a sin
gle food are one of the best grains that
can he given to lessen fat.
Mating birds to breed to a feather is
a high art, to be ucqulred only by long
practice, aided by close study.
A flat perch is beat because of being
tbe most comfortable to the feet and
the best support to the breast.
There are three breeds of fowls that
are pre-eminently valuable us egg pro
ducers. These are the Mlnorcas, Leg
horns and Black Spanish.
A medium sized active nmle Is twice
as valuable as one that Is large and
extra heavy. If large size and weight
are desired, select large hens, but the
male should be active and vigorous.
When a fowl has canker and the.
mouth and throat are sore and ulcer
atcd, wrap a soft rag around a lend
pencil, dampen It slightly, dip in chlo
rate of potash and swab out the mouth
clean and inject a drop of turpeutlue.
W hat Comes After SulcideT
On the whole, it is something of a
pity that some of these fellows who cut
their throats, blow out their brains or
swallow poisons in order to rid them
selves of their troubles cannot come
back, so they might tell others who are
troubled Whether relief lies in that di
rection or not. It Is more than proba
ble that what they then could tell
would deter other reckless men and
women from following In their foot
steps, and for that, if for no other rea
aon. their retifrn would be welcome.
As Hamlet Implied, it is better to bear
the ills we know than to tiy to those
we know not of, and there isn't much
doubt that the suicides are not long In
finding that out.—Philadelphia Inquir
er.
The IVHCK Legend.
Almost all fruits and flowers have
their legend. One about the peach
co DIPS from Japan and tells how a poor,
pious old couple were searching for
food by the roadside. The woman
found n peach, which she would not
eat of, though starving, till she could
share it with hor husband. He cut it
exactly in half, when an infant leaped
forth. It was one of the gods, who had.
he said, accidentally fallen out of the
peach orchard of heaven while playing.
He told them to plant the stone of the
peach, and It brought them happiness,
friends and wealth.
How a Plant Protects Itnelf.
One little plant of South Africa pro
tects Itself by assuming a curious like
ness to a white lichen that covers the
rocks. The plant has sharp pointed
green loaves. These are placed close
together, with their points upward,
and on the tip of each leaf Is a little
white, scaly sheath. The resemblance
of tbe smooth surface these present to
the lichen growing on the rocks, be
side which it is always found, is so
groat that it is not till you tread on
it that you discover the deception.—

It is a dangerous thing to give little Tobies violent remedies that rack and rend

A fewdrops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve
colic by ex|>elling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers,
break up colds and clear the coated tongue. :
Great relief Is experienced when administered to young children suffering from
diarrhtea, accompanied with white or green evacuations from the fact that LAXAKOLA
neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids
digestion, roliovo.s restlessness, assists nature and induces sleep.

HE FEARED RIDICULE
During the Franco-Prussian war a
young Gorman officer named Fritz von
Weber was in love with a girl named
Zaire, an Alsatian, whose father was
a general In the German army. The
general refused his consent to the
union, lie and Fritz both went to the
war. Zaire was sent to the country.
When Fritz reached his quarters, he
found a friend, one Dr. Max von Pil
low, a great joker. Fritz told tTio doc
tor all about it.
"Fritz," said the doctor, "leave the
matter to me. Tomorrow old Hom
berg takes his usual ride along the
north road. He goes unattended. You
must be in the little wood by the
spring. He will be attacked by a
number of our fellows disguised as
the enemy. When he is attacked, you
must rush forth and rescue him. In
his gratitude Zaire shall be yours."
The morrow came. Down the road
on his old horse came the general.
Suddenly from the wood rode a squad
of the enemy—terrible fellows. The
general saw them and turned to fly.
The old horse was stubborn. He com
menced to Jump up and down, and the
result was that the general was cap
tured. The enemy put a rope about
the general's neck. They were going
to hang him. The general slied tears.
"I am General von Homberg," he
groaned.
The enemy grinned and threw one
end of the rope over the branch of a
tree.
"I am a father," sobbed the general.
The enemy gave a strong pull on the
rope.
"I—l am still in the prime of life!
Don't hang me; please don't!" cried the
general.
The rope tightened.
A shout' was heard—ringing shots,
fierce words, the tramping of hoofs.
The enemy fled; the general was saved.
His deliverer bowed before him.
It was Fritz. The general would
have preferred hanging. The young
man bowed low.
"Your pass!" thundered the general.
"I—l have none," said Fritz.
"Y'ou beard the orders. Return to
camp and report yourself under ar
rest," suorted the general.
That evening Fritz—poor Fritz—sat
In his tent. A guard wulkcd before tho
door. But all the army rang with the
praises of the general, who had that
| day met a squad of the enemy and sin
gle handed had defeated them.
Dr. Max was furious. He imitated
the general's horse. lie jumped up and
down and snorted.
"I'll tlx him!" lie cried. "I'll show
him up!"
Then he took his pen and sat down
and wrote tlie whole story out—the
true story.
"Tomorrow," said Dr. Max. "I'll send
this to my paper unless lie compro
mises."
He stood before t lie general.
"Good morning, general."
"All, Dr. von Billow, what do you
wish?"
"Can I sec you alone, general?"
The general's aid retired.
"General, we have had enough."
"Enough what?"
"Enough humbug."
"How?"
"Tliose men were your own men. I
have their account of the affair. It is
not complimentary to you. It is very
complimentary to Fritz. General, Fritz
j must marry your daughter."
"Sir," thundered the general, "do you
presume"—
"Oh, yes," smiled Dr. Max; "yes, I <k>
presume. I own a newspaper, you
| know. The whole account must go for
j ward. In three days the whole world
I will be in a broad grin over you and
your horse unless"—
"Unless what?"
j "Unless Fritz marries Zaire."
The general hesitated. lie bad been
praised, honored—lie dreaded ridicule.
"Come down!" cried Dr. Max. "It's
110 use holding out, general. Come
down like a man!"
The general hesitated, turned, wrig
gled, fumed and offered money, but it
was of no avail.
"Come down!" cried Dr. Max. "Come
down! Shall Zaire marry Fritz?"
"Yes," growled tho general.
"And you will introduce liiiu as your
soil In-law at once and release liim from
I arrest?"
I "No—that is, I mean yes."
"And you will give him an appoint
ment—make him your secretary?"
"I won't!"
"Ah!"
"Well, I will."
