"if ur aim tArnti5iu,N. This Court Knows Herself, and, She Thinks She Do." We frequently hear the expression, "If the court knows itself, and It thinks it does," but few persons are aware of the origin thereof. The individual who gave birth to It was a Pike county Mlssourian numed Blackburn, who , flourished lu the west many years ago. Blackburn ran away from home when he was a mere boy and sought his fortune In the west, where he grew to manhood as an In dian fighter, hunter, trapper and mountain guide. Although not an ed ucated man, he was possessed of great acumen, to which was united a keen wit. When gold was discovered in California. Blackburn was one of the first to proceed thither. .'The miners as a sort of Joke .elected him alcalde. an office that combined the duties of mayor and Justice of the peace. The first case coming before the new al calde was that of a ganibler who while drunk had ridden his horse over a young Mexican woman. ' She was seri ously injured. . , '. ; The trial took place In the largest cabin In the neighborhood. The gam bier, who was rich, had retained able counsel to defend him. Alcade Black burn' called the young woman to the witness stnnd. , She told a straight forward, honest story. When she had finished the alcalde peremptorily end ed the trial. The attorney for the de fendant protested vigorously, but the alcalde disposed of his protest thus: "If this court knows herself and she thinks she do, I fine you $500 damages and assess upon you the cost of puttln' this young woman in good condition." When asked what -be meant by "good condition" the alcalde replied thnt the gambler must pay the doctor's bills and all other costs of the young woman's sickness. Exchange. LET ES DYE FOB YOU.
