JUDGE GDFF IS HOSPITAL
NOTED JURIST RESTING IN PHIL
ADELPHIA INSTITUTION.
His Condition Is Not at All Serious,
and the Rest Is Doing Him
Much Physical Goad.
Judge Nathan Goff is in a private;
hospital in Philadelphia for rest and 1
treatment. He has been in that city
th" last seven or eight weeks under!
the care of physicians and will likely
be there several weeks longer.
Judge Goff is not in his usual ro
bust health, but there is nothing se
rious about his condition. During
his long service on the federal bench,
he has devoted himself closely to the
duties of the position, which are
quite extensive and has*had but few
vacations, in fact none longer than
a day or so. These duties, together
with his large business interests, have
been somewhat trying on him physical
ly and in early summer his health
became impaired.
After a number of weeks spent ai
home lie concluded to place himself
under the care of specialists and to
get away from the cares and duties
of his official position a few weeks
until fully restored to health.
The rest has been quite beneficial
to him and his health is gradually
returning. Word from him is that
he will soon enjoy his usual health
and will return to West Virginia in
a few weeks at most.
COW 80Y III TROUBLE HERE
JOSEPH BARRETT ARRESTED
FOR CARRYING WEAPONS.
Was on Way to His Former Home
Near Winchester—Was Pulled
and Fined In This City.
•Joseph Barrett, who claimed to he
cn his way to his former home, near
Winchester, from the west, dropped
into the city Monday evening, wear
ing a huge sombrero, a pleasant smile
and two guns that almost reached the
proportions of young cannon. 11 is
guns were conspicuously displayed,
dangling from a leather bolt about his
waist.
Joseph fell into the friendly em
brace of Deputy Sheriff Wolf, who
didn't liko the idea of the cow boy
perambulating about the town with
his artillery flaunting before the public
gaze, directly against the peace and
dignity of tho great commonwealth of
West Virginia; and Joseph was haled
before Justice Felker, who gazed
sternly upon hit; six feet of lusty man
hood and imposed a fine of $23 and
costs, which Joseph paid.
Barrett was dressed in accordance
with the eastern idea of a cow boy,
and attracted considerable attention
on the streets.

EXPOSITION TO CONTINUE
SHOW AT JAMESTOWN WILL BE
O PENED NEXT SUMMER.
Conference at Norfolk on Monday
By Leading Business Men De
cided Upon This Course.
Ttiat the Jamestown exposition will
open in some shape next summer is
almost a certainty tho.ugh whether
it will he on a large or small scale
is yet to he determined. That the
national government will do all it
can to aid the enterprise was evidenc
ed at Norfolk on Monday, when the
officials in charge of the government
exhibit were notified not to begin
packing up on the Inst day of the
month, as per original instructions,
ljut to let tlie exhibit remain intact
until further notice.
This evening there will be a con
'erence of a number of hotel, trans
portation men and capitalists, who
will discuss the feasibility of organ
izing a new company to take over the
old concern and to operate the expo
sition next summer.
Many of the large business men of
Norfolk are much in favor of the con
tinuation of the exposition. They de
clare that while not a financial suc
cess, the exposition lias attracted
much attention, brought the city into
greater prominence, made more bus
iusss, and that, taking it as a whole,
they consider that the exposition har
not been nearly so much of a failin',
is is generally believed.

DOODLES
HERE «u a
question before
the hoitBe, and it1
was perfectly
evident that it
was a question of
some moment.
Still, for that
matter, every
thin* that con
cern e d Doodles
was always' the
main Issue before
the house. The
present family
council had been
with the impor
tant question of
Doodles' trousers,
There was a
sullen look on
Doodles' usually cheerful face. “I
don’t care If I'm not 15. I'm a (treat
deal bigger than a lot of fellows who
are wearing ’em long," he said, with
determination.
"But, Doodles, dear, you aren't tall
enough to look well in long trousers
yet,” remonstrated his mother.
“Oh, pshaw!" responded Doodles
to his mother's argument. “Look at
Shorty Downs. He isn't up to my
shoulders. And Fat Allen is Just my
height. Gee! a fellow can’t have any
fun with the fellows when he wears
stockings like a girl. The fellows
all laugh at me and call me ‘Spin
dles.’ ”
“ ‘Well, just call them ‘Stubby’ and
‘Baby Elephant,’ ’’ said Doodles’ sis
ter, who secretly sympathized with
her small brother.
"There Is plenty of time for long
trousers, my boy,” said Doodles’ fa
ther from behind his newspaper.
'When a boy puts them on he ex
pects to be a full grown man at once.
You can wait another year and then
you will look the part better."
"Oh, gee!" said Doodles in dis
gust. "'You said that last year. You
promised that if I passed everything I
could have them.”
Were it not that one must decline
v antonly to offend Doodles’ dignity,
one would say that, at this point he
sniffled. The family council as a
whole looked uneasily.
"But you see, dear, you are really
only a small boy yet,” said Doodles'
mother, with her eyes decidedly
mtfist.
’Oh, now, mother, there you go!
That's just what, you said about, cut
ting my curls off. Why, at the last
social at school I dln’t get to dance
hardly at all. Shorty told me it was
because the girls wouldn't bother
dancing with the fellows who didn’t,
wear long trousers after they got
I nth the high school. Now, dad, you
knew my legs are as skinny as tooth
picks.”
Doodles’ father laid down his news
paper with an air of decision. “Well,
my boy, I suppose you've got to have
them. Meet me down town to-mor
row, and we’ll get the whole togs.”
Doodles was up early the day school
opened. He paid elaborate atten
tion to his toilet, and his now clothes, •
all laid out the night before, were
handled a dozen times before they
were finally put on. -
“Don’t put your hands in your pock
ets, Doodles; it shows you're new
at the business,” advises Doodles' fa- •
ther. "
"And just cut those girls dead who
wouldn't favor you at the social,”
contnbuted his sister.
"Oh, who’s got any time for girls?”
said Doodles, airily. 'I’m going to t
try for the team."
“Doodles’ family followed him to the
door.
"Now, don’t everybody run to the
window and let all the neighbors
catch on,” commanded Doodles. B
He went down the steps two at a
time. He didn’t look back to wave
his hand as he
usually did, but
walked straight
ahead, his hands
in his pockets
and whistling as
loud as possible.
He pretended not
to hear Shorty
Downs’ whistle
and he crossed to
the other side of
the street when
he saw the Peters
girls.
When Doodles
came home from
school that after
noon, instead of
making his usual
immediate visit to
the kitchen he
ran upstairs to his room. As he re- |
mained there some time his mother f
wondered what was delaying Doodles’
foraging in the pantry. So she went s
up' softly to his room. * s
Dootles in his former long stopk- (l
ings and short-legged suit of clothes
was busily engaged in folding up his A
new suit. ” p
■Why, Doodles, what is the mat- a
ter?" exclaimed his mother. "Don't /'
you like your new clothes?” I o
“Doodles looked up at her in sur- v
prise as he placed the suit in a large ■
box.
"Of course I do; but you don’t sup
pose I’m going to wear it for com
mon, do you? Everybody knows I’ve
got it now, so I don’t have to wear it
except when I want to,” explained 1
Doodles.—Chicago Daily News. 1
