Flowers furnished Night or day phone 67 A JUST JUDGE In the early mining days of British Colombia the administration of the law, though .crude, had its good points. The trials were short and to the point. There were none of the "taw's delays," for generally, being a miner himsel'f, the judge did not like any too well to leave his .gild sluice and sit in court. 'The crown officer apipainte'd the justices of the peace; andi in more than one camp the "'(Roy's" asked that the office 'be given to some man whom they counted ort to provide nat only justice ,but some entertainment. So the trials were oft- en amusing as well as short. 'In Cariboo a minter whom •we shall call Smith was appointed justice of the peace who, whatever his failings, had wit and a sure sense of right and •wrong. One day a •drunken Siwash named Yaktnn rode ti'is •eayuse wildly nip 'and down the street, shouting at the top of his hangs. After a lively fight the .men succeeded in llodleiug hurt tip 'in jail. :The next morning the policeman told Judge .Smith .that he held the Siwash for further orders. 'N'ow the 'worthy justice Of the peace, who had also been drinking, was in no .condition to hold court. "Send him home," he said thickly, "and tell him to come 'back to -mor- row." 's'Why, Judge," ob'jeotod the police- man, " he lives four miles. out of town." 'Don't matter; tell him to return for trial to -morrow. The. next day the Siwash reported, but the judge had not recovered and repeated his order, On the third mor- ning the court opened, and the judge heard the charge. With ati air of dig- nity he gave his •decision: "Yaku'in, you have broken the 'law Good Equipment makes a Good Farmer Better FOR QUALITY & SERVICE BUY McCormick Deering Farm Machinery The 'residence on 'George street of the late Mrs. John A.
