MARBLE, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1915
REMINISCENT
From Marble, Colo., to Red Oak, la.,
is a far cry, but in the death of Smith
McPherson of Red Oak, a Federal
judge, announced in the Denver papers
as having occured a few days ago, at
least two Marble citizens lost a person
al acquaintance—Judge C. E. Budlong
and the editor of The Booster. Both
Marble men were well acquainted with
the well-known United States judge and
both could relate many stories of the
deceased. The editor of The Booster
well remembers one incident in which
he figured with the judge.
It was when The Booster scribe was
a reporter on the Kansas City Star and
was assigned to “cover” the Federal
building, which included all United
States officers in Kansas City, together
with the postoffice. Judge McPherson
was frequently in Kansas City holding
court in the district in place of Judge
Philips, the resident Federal judge, who
was sitting in other districts Federal
judges having a habit of “swapping
around” frequently. Judge Philips was
a great stickler for dignity in th<e Kan
sas City court and all of the reporters
and frequenters of his courtroom knew
it, consequently they were careful to
follow the customs which he had main
tained. But Judge McPherson was an
other kind of a judge altogether. He
cared little for dignity, and even less
for court forms of law and evidence, so
long as he arrived at the facts in a case.
One day there came into his court a
case of a trivial nature, involving a
question which the lawyers on both
sides, who seldom had an opportunity
to appear before so august a person as
a United States judge, thought was
worthy of a long-drawn out legal bat
tle, with many witnesses, but which
Judge McPherson did not so regard at
all. The lawyers made as though the
case was going to take up the rest of
the term, but Judge McPherson was
not so disposed. In fact, it was plain to
be seen that he was going to get that
particular case off the calendar in about
as quick time as possible. The lawyers
had about a hundred witnesses. Judge
McPherson impatiently heard two or
three of them, breaking in with ques
tions, and peremptorily dismissing them
from the stand without waiting for the
lawyers to conclude, and then he an
nounced that he had heard enough. The
lawyer of the plaintiff prayed the judge
to hear one more witness.
“Who is he?” shot the judge.
“Mr. Frost of the Star,” said the
lawyer, having in mind a previous in
vestigation of the case made by the
reporter.
“Frost don’t know anything about
this case that I don’t know and besides
I don’t want to hear him,” said Judge
McPherson, and then he turned to the
reporter and reaching to his vest pocket
A Sermon
on Success
SOME PEOPLE won’t buy anything that costs much, because
they think they ought to get it cheaper.
OTHER PEOPLE won’t buy anything that is cheap, because
they think it can’t be good if it’s cost is little.
BOTH VIEWS ARE LOPSIDED. Trying to buy a2-cent post
age stamp for a cent is about as foolish as wanting to pay
3 cents for it.
MOST PEOPLE have found that while occasionally they find a
really, truly bargain, as a rule they can’t buy below actual
worth. That and that only is the thing to judge by.
MANY PEOPLE have placed their confidence in us in our
knowledge of values—in our fair and even prices—in the
quality of our goods—in our methods of selling and collect
ing—and are satisfied.
AN EVER INCREASING NUMBER of the best people place
each and every order in our hands and are satisfied!

he withdrew a huge Havana and ex
tending it to the awe-struck reporter
he said:
“Here, Frost, have a cigar.”
Whereupon, to the horror of the court
bailiff, the United States attorney, the
United States marshal, and a lot of
other scandalized officers of Judge
Philips’ dignified court, Judge McPher
son scratched a match on the seat of
his trousers, lit a cigar for himself, ex
tended the match to the reporter, and
leaning comfortably back in the judicial
throne, blew out a puff of smoke, and
3aid to the lawyers:
“Go on with your case and finish it in
five minutes.”

After donating about $4.00 worth of
space to plugging for Red Cross seals,
nobody sold ’em here.
After a recent fire in Gunnison, in
which the News-Champion of that place
spoke very uncomplimentary of the al
leged fire department there, a new hose
company has been formed, which is
what might have been expected under
the circumstances, but what we fail to
understand is how our old fire fighting
friend, Ben Jorgensen, erstwhile chief
of Marble’s efficient hose company and
now located at Gunnison, failed to be
come a member of the new organiza
tion. __
Bills have been introduced in both
branches of the state legislature mak
ing it a misdemeanor for overdrawing
checking accounts at the banks. Al
ways there must be more or less freak
legislation propose at each session of
the legislature, and judging by the
above the session of the twentieth gen
eral assembly is not to be an exception.
E. H. McDowell, the man who drank
so much water on the stage of our the
ater last campaign when he was mak
ing a speech, gave away his daughter
in marriage to an estimable young man
a few nights ago, at his home near
Gunnison, and the question naturally
arises did he confine himself to water
on this auspicious occasion.
Certain men here who are interested
in the stock of the defunct Crystal
River Marble company, now in a feder
al court receivership, predict that this
move forecasts a resumption of activ
ity on the part of those to whom the
freeze-out will deliver the holdings.
In the list of petit jurors, just drawn
for the April term of court in this dist
rict, we fail to find the name of any
Marble man.
