ANTE-LID DAYS ARE VIVIDLY- RECALLED Big Crowd Assembled in the City Court Reminds One . ; Of Old Times.

JOHN KAMP IN TROUBLE. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AND BATTERY ON WILLIAM BROOKS EARL HUDSON, A STRANGER, M FOR DRUNK. It looked like the ante-lid days in the city court this morning. Besides twenty-five or thirty witnesses, there were four drunks and a man charged with assault and battery on a child. Saturday Al Brooks filed a charge of assault and battery against John Kamp, for an alleged assault made by Kamp on Brooks' young son, William Brooks. This morning at the request of Attorney B. C. Robbins, who represents Kamp, the case was continued until Wednesday. Mr. Brooks will represent his son and in open court he warned Mr. Robbins not to testify with any of "his" witnesses. Mr. Robbins calied the attention of the court to this action on the part of Mr. Brooks and then informed Mr. Brooks that he would ask the witnesses for the plaintiff anything he saw fit to ass them. Mr. Brooks left the court ro6m saying that he Intended to protect his child. It is charged that Kamp kicked the Brooks boy because he thought young Brooks had some walnuts which belonged to Mr. Kamp's son. Earl Hudson, a wanderer, who arrived here Saturday and began work on a Main street corner writing calling cards, was arrested for drunk. In court he stated that he was not drunk but had been drinking so that he would be able to do his work. He said that recently he had been injured. He made a plea for mercy, stating that he was not a man who made a practice of getting into trouble and that he had "seen better days." Hudson drew $1 and costs. Luther Wadkins, colored, was fined .$1 and costs for drunk, much to Luther's disgust. He is a farm hand and he stated that if the court would let him go this time he would promise never to drink another drop of liquor as long as he lived. "Mr. Court, I've never been inside a jail house in my life," said Wadkins. He was allowed to go to the farm where lie is employed to get money to pay his fine. Harmon Bussen drew $1 and costs for getting drunk Saturday night. AN EASY SOLUTION. How the 8ection Boss Got the Tool House In the Right Spot. About ten years before the Eastern railroad was leased by the Boston and Main that portion of the old road between Swampscott and Salem was In charge of Section Foreman Timothy Moynahan. His strongest point was in doing Just as he was told and doing that with energy and accuracy. So when he was notified from Beverly by Roadmaster Stevens that the section lengths were to be changed and that he was to more his tool house from the westerly end of Salem yard to halfway between mileposts 15 and 16 he started out with the determination to move the house halfway, no more, no less. To get this halfway point he stationed one of his men -at milepost 15 and another at milepost 16, and at a signal they started to walk toward each other until they met, and to a point opposite their meeting place the shanty was moved. This method of getting the correct distance did not quite suit Moynahan, especially when he remembered that one of the walkers was taller than the other and the .her tripped several times on the way down. He carried this in his mind for nearly a year, when he met the engineers measuring through for signals and asked them to tell him as they measured if his bouse was Just halfway or not. ' When the measurement was taken, the house was found to be sixty feet nearer milepost 16 than 15, and Moynahan. on being told,' remarked that he thought he could fix things Just right. Later in the year the engineer met Moynahan In Salem and asked him if hla tool house was now halfway between the mileposts. "It Is." he replied. "It's Just halfway." "Did you have much trouble moving itr "No trouble at all. I Just let it stay as it was and moved the milepost." Boston Herald. The Soft Answer. Daring a municipal election a lady canvasser secured one vote for her candidate by her ready wit She had fluently advanced several reasons In favor of the policy of her party to a disagreeable old gentleman, who presently told her that she could talk the hind leg off a donkey. "Well," she replied, "it would give me a great deal more pleasure to drive you to the polling station than to the hospital.

INSPECTION PARTY ISHOWJH THE WATf Pennsylvania Officials Will Arrive Here on Tuesday Or Wednesday. INCLUDES FOUR TRAINS.

A NUMBER OF LOCAL OFFICIALS WILL JOIN THE PARTY WHEN IT REACHES THIS CITY PRIZES OFFERED. One of the important events in railroad affairs of the city will be the annual inspection trip of the high of-1 ficials of the Pennsylvania road, j which left Pittsburg this morning and tv ill -i rrivo 4n Vii.j it if &rw,n Hm ' . ... 14 ... 1.1-11.7 v.ij 1.1 Li i Tuesday or Wednesday and remaining here until the following morning. President McCrea and a number of the officials of the road were In the city the first of last week. The trip of President McCrea, while carryirg the dignity of the road about in palace cars is of secondary importune? t the one this week. The president and the high officials of the road bowled along in private cars with servants at their beck and call and their journey was more in the nature cf an outing or recreation trip. But the real bulk of the inspection work falls on what is known as the general manager's annual inspection trip and the journey this fall will include all of the Eastern, Western and Southern lines and all the tributary branches. The journey will cover some 1,400 miles. Will Have Four Trains. The party which in reality will be in charge of General Manager Peck of the Pennsylvania lines West and General Manager McKean of the Vandalia lines, will travel in four special trains. A number of local officials will join the insn"tion party when it makes its trip over the Richmond division. A pecular feature of the journey is the fact that every person on the entire train will be assiened to a seat and this will be his office throughout the trip. This is done so that every official will be in direct communication with his home office durng his absence on the road. A message, in case he is wanted, will be directed to train No. 1, 2, 3, or 4, seat numbe' so and so. A feature of the trip will be the awarding of a prize of $100 to the supervisor showing the best section of track under his supervision and $30 for the second best. Local officials hone that the plum will fall to some Richmond division supervisor. One of the novelties of the train that will carry the officials on this trip will be the arrangement of the cars. One observation car will be run in front of the engine and another on the rear of the special. This will give the officials a clear view of the track in both directions.

The colonel, a rigid martinet, Is sitting at the window of his room when, looking out, he sees a captain crossiug the barrack yard toward the gate. Looking at him closely, he is shocked to observe that, the rules aud regulations to the contrary notwithstanding, the captain does not carry a sword. "Captain!" he calls from the window. "Hi, captain, step up to my room for a moment, will you?" The captain obeys promptly, borrow a sword of the officer of the guard, the guardroom being at the foot of the stairs, aud presents himself to the colonel in Irreproachable dress. The colonel is somewhat surprised tc see the sword in Its place and, having to iuvent some pretext for calling his subordinate back, says, with some confusion: "Beg your pardon, captain, but really I've forgotten what it was I wanted to speak to you about. However, it can't have been very important. It'll keep. Good morning." The captain salutes, departs, returns the sword to its owner and is making off across the barrack yard, where he again comes within range of the colonel's vision. The colonel rubs his eyes, stares, says softly to himself: "How In thunder is this? He hasn't a sword to his waist!" then calls aloud: "Captain! Ho, captain! One moment, please !" The captain returns, borrows the sword again, mounts the stairs and enters the colonel's presence. His commanding officer stares at him intently. He has a sword; he sees it; he hears il clank. "Captain," he stammers, growing very hot, "it's ridiculous, you know, but ha! ha! I'd just remembered what I wanted to say to you, and now ha! ha! it's gone out of my head again! Funny, isn't It? Ha. ha, ha! Losing my memory. Never mind. I'll think of It and write you. Good morning." The captain salutes, departs, returns the sword to Its owner and makes for the gate. , As he crosses the barrack yard the colonel calls his wife to his side and says, "See that officer out there?" "Yes." "Has he got a sword on? The colonel's wife adjusts her eyeglass npon him, scans him keenly and says, "He hasn't a taste of a sword." The colonel: "That's Just where you fool yourself. Yes, he has." London Graphic. THE PICTURE CRITIC. If He Doesn't "Quite Like the Face," That Settles It. Some liberal minded people will admit to you that a slight preliminary training is required before a serious attempt la made to criticise music, but almost anybody with eyes Is willing to embark buoyantly on the Job of tearing a picture to pieces. This seems to be because the picture will stand without hitching. Moreover, it will patiently submit to all the verbal harpoons you find time and strength to throw, and the average friendly critic will find sufficient of both to make even a reasonably good painting look like a cross between a fourteenth century St Sebastian and a hedgehog. j Music, on the contrary. Is both prolonged and evanescent, and by the time the composition ia finished and the applause has quieted down the critic has forgotten most of the good things he Intended to say to its detriment But the picture stays. Irritating you by its mere passive endurance to the point where affer awhile you feel that if you don't say something to destroy itu smujf self complacency it will go on thinking that it's all rijrht. So then you besrin to work over It. and you say: "Yes. I see now. It looked pretty good at first, but that arm Is hopelessly Md. and I don't quite Ifte the face. There's nothing to be done If you don't "quite like the face; there's no answer to that proposition. It's a clincher. Rembrandt himself would have wilted and would probably have given up trying to be an "old master. Evxito3v' j

WOMEN SUFFER!

Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to won, knowing well that they ought to hav Immediate assistance. How many women do yon know who are perfectly well and strong?

These symptorcs axe but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result.
