At a meeting held in this city
last night by attorneys and
others in interest from those ju
dicial districts presided over by
Judges Browning, Hendrix and
ivinaer, representatives were
present from Dallam, Hartley,
Deaf Smith, Randall, Armstrong
and Potter counties. After a
general discussion it was deter
mined that a bill shall be framed
and the legislature asked to
create from the present districts
of Judges Browing and Kinder
two additional districts, making
five in all instead of three, as at
present.
It is contended that the work
of the districts under the pres
ent arrangement is too great,
and especially is this true with
reference to that district in
which Judge Browning presides.
It was suggested that while the
needs of the situation require
two new districts, even one
would bring great relief. In
the event the situation narrows
itself to one new district, that
one will be created out of the
one now under the jurisdiction
of Judge Browning.
A committee of five attorneys
was appointed from Judge
Browning's district and a like
number from Judge Kinder's
district, these lawyers to meet
in this city December 29 for con-
ideration of the proposed bill to
be offered to the legislature. At
that time it will be determined
whether one or two new dis
tricts will be asked for.
State Senator John W. Veale
and Representative J. R. Bow
man were at the meeting last
evening, ihey seemed heartily
in favor of the innovation.
The Daily Panhandle heartily
indorses this movement, and the
egislative representatives from
this section should bend every
energy to see that this relief is
granted. The Panhandle has be
come too far advanced in ponu
ation and business to be handi
capped with conditions which
were proper at one time but
which no longer are suitable to
us as a busy people, which we
are now. Daily Panhandle o:

SOMEWHAT AMUSING
Outwitted the Landlord.
When recently leasing a house
in a fashionable suburb of Phila
delphia the lessee failed to ex
amine closely the terms of the
lease. After a time his landlord
called and reminded him that he
was bound to" do all the outside
painting at certain intervals. The
tenant protested in vain; so he
engaged painters, and ordered
them to paint the whole front of
the house red, white and blue-
in stripes.
When it was finished the
neighborhood rose up in arms
and the landlord was frantic
The tenant politely explained
that there was nothing in the
lease about the color, so he in
tended to finish the job by paint
ing tne bade or tne house green
with large yellow spots. The
landlord saw that he had met
with his match and within a few
days the tenant had a new lease
in which the landlord undertook
to do all the outside painting.

L.ive oy tne aay is a sugges
tion from one of these observing
philosophers of common life who
put so many kernels of truth in
their homely shrewd sayings
ui course tne pnrase is not one
of half meaning. On the con
trary to "live by the day"' means
iving in the fullest sense of
the word, not carelessly indif-
erence to opportunity, to duty,
and to trouble when it comes: it
does not mean to have no thought
for the future. The value of the
suggestion lies in this, that every
man, every woman, no matter
what may be the sphere of life,
can have courage and hope and
faith for one day, can bear the
heat and toil of one day without
shrinking. The thoughtful
teacher of music, .for example,
who learns to think more of each
day and less of the entire season,
comes to think of his or her work
as a succession of days, each
with responsibilities, with vic
tories, apparent defeats, it may
be, yet with no true grounds for
absolute discouragement. Once
this idea of looking after each
day, as it comes, is ground into
the teacher's philosophy of living
and working he has greater
courage. Teaching problems
that appear formidable in the
aggregate can be solved if taken
in detail; difficulties on the busi
ness side of the profession lose
terror when attacked separately;
troublesome pupils can be
studied individually. One happy
solution a day is a victory and
strength for the future. Etude.
Didn't I tell ye to feed that
cat a pound of meat every day
until ye had her fat?" demanded
an Irish shopkeeper, nodding to
ward a sickly emaciated cat that
was slinking through the store,
according to Everybody's.
"Ye did that," replied his as
sistant, "an' I've just been after
feedin' her a pound of meat this
very minute."
The poor cat was lifted into the
scales. They balanced at exactly
one pound.
"There!" exclaimed the assist
ant, triumphantly. "Didn't I
tell ye she'd had her pound of
meat?"
That's right," admitted the
boss, scratching his head.
"That's yer pound of meat.
But," suddenly looking up,
"where the divvil is the cat?"
Their Titles to Fame.
That Lord Brougham was fully
capable of a quick retort, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, is
shown by the following:
"You, my lord," said the Duke
of Wellington, angry with him,
"will be remembered not for
having been a great lawyer, nor
for having written profound
philosophical essays, but for hav
ing given your name to a pecu
liar style of carriage."
"And your grace," answered
Brougham, ' will be remembered
not for having gained the battles
of Victoria and Waterloo, but for
having your name to fashionable
kinds of boots!"
"Oh!" said Wellington, "the
boots! I forgot 'em."

The stranger advanced toward
the door. Mrs. O'Toole stood in
the doorway with a rough stick
in her left hand and a frown on
her brow.
"Good morning," said the
stranger politely, ' I'm looking

In Doubt About the Head.
Patrick Murphy while passing
down Tremont Street was hit on
the head by a brick which fell
from a building in process of
construction.
One of the first things he did
after being taken home and put
to bed was to send for a lawyer.
A few days later he received
word to call as his lawyer had
settled the case.
He called and received five
crisp now $100 bills.
"How much did you get?" he
asked.
"Two thousand dollars," an
swered the lawyer.
"Two thousand, and you give
me $j00? Say, who got hit by
that brick, you or me?" Boston

A doctor came up to a patient
in an insane asylum, slapped him
on tne back, and said: Well,
old man, you're all right. You
can run along and write your
folks that you'll be back home in
two weeks as good as new."
The patient went off gravely to
write his letter. He had it
finished and sealed, but when he
was licking the stamp it slipped
through his fingers to the floor,
ighted on the back of a cock
roach that was passing, and
stuck. The patient hadn't seen

zigzagging aimlessly across the
floor to the baseboard, wavering
up over the baseboard, and fol
lowing a crooked track up the
wall and across the ceiling. In
depressed silence he tore up the
letter that he had just written
and dropped the pieces on the
floor.
"Two weeks! Hell!" he said,
"I won't be out of here in three
years.
Disappointed.
At a dinner of a legal associ
ation held in Washington not
ong ago one of the speakers
told of a farmer's son in Illinois
who conceived a desire to shine
as a legal light. Accordingly he
went up to Springfield, where he
accepted employment at a small
sum from a fairly well known
attorney.
At the end of three days'
study he returned to the farm.
"Well, Bill, how VI ye like the
law?" asked his father.
"It ain't what it's cracked up
to be," responded Bill gloomily.
"I'm sorry I learned it."

A young lady explained to a
printer the difference in printing
and publishing, and in conclu

the caller.
"He is not, sorr," replied Pat
politely. Shu re, he won't be
