' Such, vacancies are nuea tnrougn ap-j Epi&'.i pointment by the governor only when ?ii less 'than twelve months remain of the term. Judge Klugh's term would j i not have ended until the latter part j of 1914, so that the unexpired por-j tion consists of more than three years?or, to be exact, of three years, j two months, thirteen days. gP?r Pending the election of a judge fv:: to serve for the' unexpired portion ot Judge Klugh's term?which election Is due to take place during the legis Bp??'. latiye session beginning in January v next?the court terms at which |pi: Judge Klugh would have presided, if he had lived and had been fit for duty, will be provided for as preIjfejV vious terms assigned to him in reguIp lur course have been provided for; - that is, by the assignment of other circuit judges, temporarily disen-v gaged, to sit in his stead, or, in case t no circuit judge was disengaged, by the appointment for* the term of a jg| special judge by the governor, on the recommendation of the chi?f justice of the supreme court. It has been many months since Judge Klugh was v able to go on circuit. His work has ;, p mainly been divided among his . a brethren on the circuit bench.. Judge Klugh was first elected to j the 8th circuit bench in February,1 ( 1897. He was several times re-elected and recommissioned by the gov| ernor, the last time being on February 26, 1910, "for the term expir^ A ing December 22, 1914," according /' to the inscription on the appointjp. ment book in the office of the secretary of State.

An Impossibility. While Smith and Jones were on their annual walking tour they came across a dirty little urchin crying in the road. Smith gave him a dime and Jones wiped his eyes and then, as a fitting crown to their kindness, they asked his age. "Five," murmured the boy holding his money tightly in his grimy fist. "Surely not," expostulated Smith. The boy nodded and the few re ? j- * i.i i maining tears were sent iurmeri down cheeks to leave their tracings on the smut. "Ridiculous!" reiterated Smith. "You must he older." ? "But why," asked Jones, "if he says not?" "My dear chap," replied Smith, gazing earnestly at the lad's face, "you can't tell me that it would be possible for anybody to gather so much dirt in that time."?Answers.

Back from a vacation spent in Kansas Grant Constable, of Yonkers, says so many streams in that State fell so low during the drought that catching fish by hand was a favorite sport, especially at Bennington, on the Solomon river, where he sojourned, says the New York World. 1 "I am no fisherman," says Constable, "but I captured a catfish, without any help, that weighed 141 pounds. Yes, the weight was duly sworn to before a notary public. Here's the document" And Constable pulled an bfficial looking paper from his pocket and passed it around a group of listeners. It certified that on July 31 Grant Constable caught a 141-pound catfish at Bennington, Kan., in the Solomon river, that he was unaided, and that he caught the said fish with his hands only. "The Solomon is noted for its catfish, and the Solomon valley native would turn up his nose at a mountain trout any time for a steak of a Solomon river catfish of 40 or 60 pounds. During the dry spell most of the tributaries of the Solomon dried up, and the river was only a succession of pools. In the deeper pools the big fish were found. "In such a case the true professional scorns to use net or line. He just wades around the pools and puddles, feeling under rocks and logs, where the fish hide. When you find a fish you work your hands up al^nc hie clrios slnwlv. This sort of tickles him, and, if your hearing is good, you can hear him purr like a cat. You keep moving your hands along and tickling him until you slip your fingers in his gulls and hoist him out. "But you must be careful that you don't ram your fist down his throat; if you do he will clamp his jaws on it. "That whopper I caught was lying low under a big log. As I touched t . v. ?. * - .

Yes, gentlemen, he actually purred. And as he purred his gills were flapping back and forth like elephant ears. Then I tried to lift him out, but I s f was dragged off my feet, and we roll ea over together in tne water. Twice he finned me, but gradually I worked him close to a sand bar and before he could get his second wind I slid him out on the sand. He lay there, rolling his eyes at me, so sorrowful like, that I was almost tempted to shove him back in the pool.

The chief cause of a dreadful railway tragedy in Wisconsin recently was a huge billboard that so obscured the view as to shut off the sight of an approaching train.

Harry's mother talked to him long and earnestly about the poor marks he had been getting in his work at school. She painted in alluring colors the career of the little boy who studies his lessons and gains the love and respect of his teachers. She went even further. She promised him thA if he got good marks she would give him a whole dime for his own. Harry seemed impressed. That afternoon he returned from school fairly dancing with joy. "0, mother," he shouted, "I got 100!" "Harry!" cried the delighted moth "I- ? J t-i UtnaAil er. one nuggeu mm auu aioocu him and petted him and?gave him a dime. "And what did you get 100 in?" she finally asked. "In two things," replied Harry without hesitation. "I got 40 in reading and (rO in spellin'." A Delicate Problem. Parson Johnson, an evangelist of nnlnr ursa rnncht. hneeinar one of the I finest "ewe" lambs of the congrega-' tlon, who was a very popular young lady, and It created quite a stir. So Brudder Johnson was brought up for trial. "You have seen these great pictures, I suppose, so you know dat de great Shepherd am always pictured with a lamb in his arms," said Brudder Johnson. "Yes, sah, pahson, dat am so," admitted Deacon Jones. "Den, Brudder Jones, what am wrong in the shepherd of dis flock having a lamb in his arms?" This was too- much for Brudder Jones, so he proposed that the people have a call meeting that, afternoon. After the point was discussed at the afternoon meeting the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, Dat for the future peace of the congregation, dat the next time Brudder Johnson feels called on to take a Iamb ob de flock in his arms, dat he pick out a ram lamb."?Ex. * 1 , * - *.

Congressman Byrnes was in town on Thursday and it was ^ the good vSg pleasure of the school to have him address the students on Thursday morning. The address was carefully thought out and well delivered, hav- > ing to deal with important school /' problems of the present day. He urged all the pupils to be punctual in their attendance at school, to take advantage of the present day oppor- r j tunities, for, said he, "according to j 'statistics, for every day a high school pupil stays out of school he loses, * from a material standpoint, at least $10 a day." Congressman Byrnes said that he loved to talk to boys and girls, but he would rather appeal to their parents. The school here is progressing 1 satisfactorily. A larger attendance than ever is recorded. The high school is stronger than ever. But just the fact that a new building is about to be begun, lends special encouragement to both pupils and teachers. Last summer bonds to the , V extent of $10,000 were voted for the erection of a new building. The site :f for the building is not yet selected, but 'plans are soon to be submitted by the architect and the contract will / be let within the next sixty days. Released on Bail.

It is presumed i that the case will come up for trial next week. - : -\J
