A Kentucky blacksmith was
elected justice of the peace.
The case lie tried was litigation
involving the ownership of a
cow. The lawyers on both
sides were young, ambitious,
and eloquent, says the Satur
day Evening I'ost.
The lawyer for the plaintiff
spoke for half an hour in his
best vein. When he sat down
the new justice said:
"I've done heard pnough
plaintiff wins.
The lawyer for the other side
protested that h had some
thing to say, too, and that it
was unfair to render a judg
ment until both parties to the
action had been heard.
"Go ahead and talk if yon
wanter," said His Honor, '-but
my mind's done fully made up."
The younglawyer went ahead
for an hour. He was a better
orator even than his smiling
and triumphant adversary. In
his remarks on the cow he in
troduced, among other topics,
the American Eagle, the South
ern Cross, the Bonny Blue Flag
and the Old Kentucky Home.
When he sat down the new jus
tice said:
"Well, now, don't that bent
all? defense wins.

wonder, sometimes, when I need you, if you would comeback tome2
vt hen I dream in the dark, and want you as the river wants the sea,
I wonder a dream of days gone by don't lead your steps to me.
The day dawns fray and lonely, and then, when the night comes down
want you where my heart is in the gloom of Trouble Town
It you could only come to me and say the old, sweet words,
U inter would thrill with the music of the Springtime mockingbirds.
Love wants its own forever: The world, so sweet and bright,
Is lost without your red lips your eyes, that made its light;
And so it is. I journey, From all the world apart,
Still wondering iF you love me, Sweetheart ! Sweetheart ! Sweetheart 1

Hi, little Fellow, and the sunlight oF your eyes,
Not a sweeter world than this yonder in the skies;
Why it's such a sweet one I'm doubting if you know;

Hi, little Fellow, with the morning Face,
Where roses redden and the dimples love to race t
Mornin' glories on the porch want to smile your way,
cany sunneams kiss your your eyes and tell you: Time to play!
Hi, little fellow! Your arms the dimples gem;
The mother, bending over, Feels the rosy round oF them;
Your dreams are with the angels their peace we may not know,
But the world seems close to Heaven because you make it so.
