CHILDREN FOR BAILIFFS.

The Federal Court In Kansas City Swears In Boys. Lawyers who practice in the federal court at Kansas City have not yet grown accustomed to having boys for bailiffs. Freddie Graham, Saul Pruzan and Harold Gale were made bailiffs not long ago. They have been sworn to execute the duties of, their office with promptness and fidelity at the beginning of each term, and Saturday morning the sight of the three4ittle fellows marching Up before the judge’s desk to be sworn caused considerable merriment among the members of the bar present. As the little fellows stood up iu a row to be sworn the head of the smallest and youngest-—l 2 years old—reached hardly half way to the top of the judge’s desk. They held up their right hands quite bravely, however, and took the oath of office.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
