Recently, during a fanning bee with "other newspaper men," the Presideat puffing a sweetly odorous pipe, waxed reminiscent and spun a tale which should go down in all the economic primers of the land. While a great deal of the charm is lost in the re-telling, the story intrinsically is worth much as evidence of what the dollar once would accomplish. Substantially, the President told the story as follows: - "This was back in the days when the Marion Star first became affluent enough to afford a reporter. Before that day I had been the editor, the re porter, the- advertising man and quite a bit besides. ; Oub reporter, let's call him B ill Jones was the' -most ardent admirer of William Shakespeare I've ever seen. I had Shakespearian leanings myself in those days, being particularly partial to Julius Caesar. I've since lost some of my fondness for Caesar, but that is no part ot this story. - "At any rate, a noted: Shakespearian troupe came to Cleveland one week Cleveland is about one hundred miles from Marion. Bill -yearned to go to Cleveland. , He would have gone to Timbuctoo to see Shakespeare credita bly acted. I had some yearnings about going myself. So we decided we could make it by a little financial manipula tion. We planned to go on Saturday. "In those days the railroads used to issue passes to proprietors of newspa pers. . I had one myself, and one for my father, I figured we could get fa ther's pass O. K'd over to Bill for this trip, so I sent a request into headquar ters to this effect. : MEETING PAYROLL LEFT LITTLE CASH. Came along Saturday morning, and the authorization had not come through. 'We were in somewhat of a fix. After paying off the Star force with the ex ception of Bill and Jack, the foreman. I had just $16. The foreman's pay was $10. So I went to Jack. " 'Jack,'; I said, 'I've got money here to pay you, but I want to go up to Cleveland to see a show. How about letting me give it to you next week?" , . 'It looks to me, he said, 'if you've got money enough to? run around to shows you ought to have money enough to pay your help. . "Well, that made me mad, so I said: 'All right, take it. . But' 1 decided to to anyway. j ..'-:'. "I knew all the railroad boys on our division, so "we vfenf down to the 'sta tion and climbed on the train- for Cleve. land, I with our $6, one pass made out to Warren G.

ALL RIGHT." h i When the conductor came through I gave him the passes and explained that the authorization had not come through in time for Bill's using my father's pass. He knew me, and it was all right. Everything looked rosy. "Then we got to Galion, twenty miles away. Galion in those days . was the division point. They changed conduc tors there.: When the new conductor came through I repeated my explana tion. But ft didn't get anywhere. " Two-sixty, said the conductor, 'or off you go. -' "There wasn't anything to do but pay it That left us $3.40, and we landed in Cleveland with $3.40. "We went straight to the theatre and bought two seats at a dollar apiece. That left us $1.40; and a hundred miles from home. "I don't think I ever enjoyed a show more. JNor did JJUL We just fairly re velled in that show. We forgot that we had $1.40 and were a hundred miles from home. "Coming out of the theatre we start ed down the street, figuring how we were going to get something to eat and a place to sleep and get back home. "Looking for a match or something I poked my finger in my watch pocket. And there, long forgotten, was a one dollar bill. Never did a bill look so big. It was monumental. That gave us $2.40. ; "Well, we went down to an old but very good hotel, and with my heart in my mouth I asked how much it would be for us to spend the night, two in a room. The clerk said . a dollar and a half We took jt. "Next morning we rose, paid our bill, had a substantial breakfast for twenty five cents apiece, had . our shoes shined and purchased the morning papers. "Then came the question of getting home. We went down to the station, ' and I said to Bill: " 'There's nothing to it now. , You're George T Harding and that ends it.' "Well, sir, we went through a-flyirg. The conductor never glanced at Bill pos ing as my father, and we landed, in Marion some hours later, still with ten cents. "There we . had gone one hundred miles froan home, attended a theatre, slept in a good hotel, had breakfast, had our shoes shined and read the news of - the 4 world in- a leisurely fashion next morning all for less than.

J., brought suit against .him for alimony. .The case had been in . the courts since that day until recently when a sur-. yiving judge made up his mind to end it. He decreed that Meekers owed his wife $144 alimony - and Sent him to jail because he had not paid it." Three judges died while having this' hearing under advise ment. One of these . judges had ruled against, the man, but died be fore he eould sign the decree, and that,' as a matter of course, opened the way to keep the suit going. It is not stated that the $144 waa the original amount sued for, but. if it was, the court should have added 30 years interest, and given the los er an opportunity to work it out on the roads, if he did not have the cash handy. Charlotte Observer. . (The eourt's delay . 'not only ap plies to civil but to criminal cases as well. There should, be more dis patch in the business of our courts. First, there should be longer hours. Elimination of mueh argument by counsel. In a majority of petty cases the taking of evidence and the charge of the judge should suffice. These alone would do much to clear the dockets and avoid continuance. i.ijy cieiay, witnesses cue or move awayand in this manner the ' ends of justice are hindered and hamp ered.

She confesses that ' the employe came to her with a bruised finger, that she believed herself entirely competent to take care of it, that she did take care of it, that the sore finger got well that the employe went back to work. She confesses also that she did not call in a pny sician, ; presumably oh the assump tion that the injury -was so trifling and so wholly within the ability of any nurse to handle tnat summoning the faculty of medicine to the res n would have been as ridiculous as calling out the are dennnipnu New York Herald.
