# Baboo Hurry Bungsho Jabberjee, B.A./Chapter 17

Layout 2
Since writing my latest contribution I have folded up my tent like an Arab, and silently stolen away from Porticobello House, this independent hook being taken under the ostensible and colourable pretext of a medical opinion that the climate of Bayswater was operating injuriously upon my internal arrangements, but the real causa causans and dessous des cartes being a growing disinclination for the society of select male and female boarders.
Miss Jessimina was naturally bathed in tears at the announcement of my approaching departure, although I fondly sought to console her by assurances that my residence in Highbury, Islington, though beyond the radius and of inaccessible remoteness from Ladbroke Grove, should not obliterate her brilliant image from the cracked looking-glass of my heart, and that I would write to her with weekly regularity, and revisit the glimpses of her moony presence at the first convenient opportunity.
I do correspond with effusiveness and ​punctality through the obliging medium of a young intimate Indian acquaintance of mine, who does actually reside at Highbury, and has kindly undertaken to forward my billets doux.
This stratagem is necessitated by the circumstance that (as a matter of fact) I am dwelling under a rose at Hereford Road, Westbourne Grove, which is in convenient proximity to Prince's Square and the stately home of the Allbutt-Innett family, with whom I am now promoted to become the tame cat.
In Hereford Road I occupy garishly genteel first-floor front and back apartments at rupees fifteen per week and the Lady of the Land has entreated me to kindly excuse the waiting-maid for jumping with diffidence whenever I pop upon her unpremeditatedly on the stairs, being a nervous girl and unaccustomed to dark-complexioned gentlemen—though her own countenance, from superabundance of blacking and smuts, being of a far superior nigritude, it is I myself who should be more justified in jumping.
However, she is already becoming the habituée, and seldom drops the crockery-ware now—except when I simper with too beaming a condescension.
"UNACCUSTOMED TO DARK-COMPLEXIONED GENTLEMEN."
At first I was severely mortified that—so far as my acquaintances were concerned—these tittlings and jottings should be thus written with water, but I have since made the discovery that my cloud of disappointment is internally lined with precious silver.
# Boylan v. United States/Opinion of the Court

* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
77 U.S. 58
Boylan v. United States
The general question in this case is, by what rule is the increased value to be ascertained?
It was insisted in argument that the true mode of ascertaining the amount of increase is to deduct from the price of the manufactured goods sold and delivered, the market value of the materials at the time of the delivery.
And we think it reasonable that in a case where the sale and delivery is to the government which imposes and collects the tax, that the market value of the goods shall be taken as determined by the price which the government agrees to pay and the contractor agrees to receive. But it is not so clear that the value of the materials is to be determined by their market value at the time of the delivery of the manufactured goods. On the contrary, it seems to us that when the legislature made the degree of increased value after the payment of the tax on materials, the criterion by which to determine whether the manufactured goods should be liable to, or exempt from taxation, its intention was to require a comparison between the market value of the materials at the time the tax on them was paid, with the market value of the manufactured goods at the time of the assessment of the tax upon them. The time of this assessment in the case before us was in October, 1864, and the market value, on that day, must, as we have just said, be taken as determined by the contract price.
When the duties on the materials were paid is not shown, but it is agreed that they were paid, and that the market value of the clothing at the time of delivery to the United States was greater than the market value of the materials when made or sold by the manufacturers, or purchased by the plaintiff in error, by more than five per cent. ad valorem. We infer that the duties on the materials were paid when or before they became the property of the plaintiff in error.
And these circumstances, as it seems to us, take the manufactured goods out of the category of exemption established by the law.
The language of the act seems, indeed, hardly to admit of any other interpretation. In terms stripped of superfluous words, it provides that goods manufactured from materials upon which duties have been paid, when the increased value shall not exceed the amount of five per cent. ad valorem, shall be exempt. The obvious construction of this language is, that increased value means the value augmented since the original payment of the duties; and that the five per cent. is to be computed on the value of the materials when those duties were paid.
This construction requires the affirmance of the judgment of the Circuit Court, and it is accordingly
AFFIRMED.

# Boyle Tells How Klondikers Lost

* information about this edition.
* related portals: Ice hockey.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
In the Dawson Daily News, the author recounts a Stanley Cup challenge match between the Ottawa Silver Seven and his Dawson City ice hockey team.
OTTAWA, Jan. 16. -- The Stanley series of hockey games between the Ottawas and the Dawsons is over. The Ottawas won today by a score of 23 to 2.
Nevertheless it was a good game, and there was at one stage of it fifteen minutes of the fastest and fiercest play without a score. Then Friday's game told on the Klondikers, and they were "all in" and Ottawa scored at will until time was called. When the Klondikers were done, the Ottawas kept up a fierce attack, winning big scores.
Our team played gamely from first to last, but was dead on its feet. As an illustration of the effects of Friday's game it may be pointed out that Randy McLennan was unable to play tonight, and his place had to be taken by a substitute -- Fairburn -- and Randy's place in the team cannot be filled, as you know.
In short, our team was broken up and in no condition to play in such a game as was put up against them. While our men have been traveling the Ottawas have been put through a course of training, and the players are, of course, in the condition of race horses. Our boys showed what was in them, for until lack of condition began to count the exhibition of play was magnificent. But the moment our fellows grew tired, that moment all combination play ceased.
Among the Klondikers witnessing the game were Fred T. Congdon, Sloane, the Messrs. Noel, Attorney McKinnon, DanStewart, Rev. McRae, Palmer of Palmer Bros., A. N. C. Treadgold and others.
The game tonight is regarded by all as a wonderful exhibition of play of a team in perfect condition against a team unfit to play.
On account of the condition of our boys I have called off all the exhibition games for this week, to rest the team and put the players through a gentle course of sprouts. I fully expect the team yet to give a good account of itself in future games.
Weldy Young wires that he left Vancouver yseterday and will join the team Friday at Montreal.
We play at Amherst Monday.
Tonight's game differed from that of Friday in that it was fast, rough, but perfectly clean throughout. Evidently our boys have inspired the respect of the other players. JOE BOYLE.

# Boyle v. Landry

United States Supreme Court
401 U.S. 77
Boyle, Judge, et al. v. Landry et al.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
No. 4. Argued: March 24, 1969; April 29 and November 16, 1970. --- Decided: February 23, 1971
Appellees brought this action for injunctive and declaratory relief against enforcement of various Illinois statutes under some of which certain appellees had been arrested and all of which they claimed were being used to intimidate them in the exercise of their First Amendment rights. A three-judge District Court declared invalid for over breadth and enjoined enforcement of a statutory provision (under which no appellee had been arrested or charged) that prohibited intimidating a person by threats to "[c]ommit any criminal offense."
Held: Since no appellee suffered, or was threatened with, great and immediate irreparable injury and the future application of the statute to any appellee was merely speculative, the District Court was not warranted in interfering with state law enforcement by the issuance of an injunction or declaratory judgment. Younger v. Harris, ante, p. 37; Samuels v. Mackell, ante, p. 66. Pp. 80-81.
280 F. Supp. 938, reversed and remanded.
BLACK, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and HARLAN, STEWART, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined. BRENNAN, WHITE, and MARSHALL, JJ., concurred in the result. DOUGLAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, ante, p. 58.
Thomas E. Brannigan argued the cause for appellants on the second reargument. Dean H. Bilton argued the cause for appellants on the first reargument. Ronald Butler argued the cause for appellants on the original argument. With Messrs. Butler and Bilton on the brief were Daniel P. Coman and Daniel W. Weil.
Ellis S. Reid argued the cause for appellees on the original argument and on the rearguments. With him on the brief were Robert L. Tucker and Stanley A. Bass.

# Bird-Lore/Volume 01/No. 1/Winter Bird-Studies

Winter Bird Studies
LTHOUGH we have fewer birds during the winter than at any other season, at no other time during the year do the comparative advantages of ornithology as a field study seem so evident. The botanist and entomologist now find little out of doors to attract them, and. if we except a stray squirrel or rabbit, birds are the only living things we may see from December to March. Winter, therefore, is a good time to begin the study of birds, not only because flowers and insects do not then claim our attention, but also because the small number of birds then present is a most encouraging circumstance to the opera-glass student, who. in identifying birds, is at the mercy of a ' key.'
Indeed, the difficulty now lies not in identification, but in discovery; unless one is thoroughly familiar with a given locality and its bird-life, one may walk for miles and not see a feather—a particularly unfortunate state of affairs if one has a bird-class in charge. This dilemma, however, may be avoided by catering to the dominant demand of bird-life at this season, the demand for food. Given a supply of the proper kind of food, and birds in the winter may nearly always be found near it. Bird seed and grain may be used, but a less expensive diet, and one which wall doubtless be more appreciated, consists of sweepings from the hay-loft containing the seeds to which our birds are accustomed. This may be scattered by the bushel or in a sufficient quantity to insure a hearty meal for all visiting Juncos and Tree Sparrows, with perhaps less common winter seed-eaters.
The bark-hunting Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, and Chickadees will require different fare, and meat-bones, suet, bacon-rinds and the like have been found to be acceptable substitutes for their usual repast of insects’ eggs and larvæ.
Winter, strange as it may seem, is an excellent season for bird-nesting. The trees and bushes now give up the secrets they guarded from us so successfully during the summer, and we examine them with as much interest as we pore over the ' Answers to Puzzles in Preceding Number ' department of a favorite magazine.
Immediately after a snow storm is the best time in which to hunt for birds’ nests in the winter. Then all tree and bush nests have a white cap, which renders them more conspicuous.
When walking with children, the spirit of competition may be aroused by saying “ Who’ll see the first nest,” or “ Who’ll see the next nest first,” as the case may be, and the number discovered under this impetus is often surprising.
# Bird-Lore/Volume 01/No. 1/John Burroughs at 'Slab Sides'

JOHN BURROUGHS AT ‘SLAB SIDES’
Flashlight photograph, by F. M. Chapman, October, 1896
John Burroughs at 'Slab Sides'
SOME years ago a favor to a neighbor resulted in Mr. Burroughs acquiring possession of a small ' muck swamp ' situated in a valley in the hills, a mile or more west of his home at West Park, on the Hudson. To Mr. Burroughs, the agriculturist, this apparently worthless bit of ground promised a rich return after it had yielded to successive attacks of brush-knife, grubbing-hook, plough, and spade. To Burroughs, the literary naturalist and nature-lover, this secluded hollow in the woods offered a retreat to which he could retire when his eyes wearied of the view of nature tamed and trimmed, from his study on the bank of the Hudson.
In the spring of 1895 the muck swamp was a seemingly hopeless tangle of brush and bogs, without sign of human habitation. One year later its black bed was lined with long rows of luxuriant celery, while from a low point at one end of the swamp had arisen a rustic cabin fitting the scene so harmoniously that one had to look twice to see it.
This is 'Slab Sides,' a dwelling of Mr. Burroughs’ own planning, and, in part, construction, its outer covering of rough sawn slabs, which still retain their bark, being the origin of its name. In a future number we hope to present a photograph of the exterior of Slab Sides, with an account of the birds its owner finds about it. Part of its interior is well shown by our photograph of Mr. Burroughs seated before the fireplace, in which, as head mason and stone-cutter, he takes a justifiable pride. Here, from April to November, Mr. Burroughs makes his home, and here his most sympathetic readers may imagine him amid surroundings which are in keeping with the character of his writings.
# Bird-Lore/Volume 01/No. 1/With Nature and a Camera

Authors may or may not be indebted to reviewers of their works, but it is not often that reviewers are under obligations to the authors of the works they review. In the present instance, however, we feel that we must express our gratitude to the Messrs. Kearton for furnishing us with such an admirable demonstration of the kind of ornithology for which this journal stands. If, following the same lines, we can bring Bird-Lore to the high standard reached in ‘With Nature and a Camera,’ we shall have nearly approached our ideal.
Briefly, this book is a record of observation and photography by two ornithologists in Great Britain. Doubtless, no birds in the world have been more written about than the birds of this region, and still this book is filled with fresh and original matter, which is always interesting, and often of real scientific value.
Asked to explain how it was that in such a well-worked field the author of this volume had succeeded in securing so much new material, we should reply that we believed it was because he was an observer rather than a collector. Apparently realizing that to collect specimens of British birds would add but little to the store of our knowledge concerning them, he has devoted his time to a study of their habits, and in presenting the results of his labors, he has been most ably seconded by his brother, whose photographs of birds in nature have not, so far as we know, been excelled.
Perhaps the most forcible lesson taught by this book is the pleasure to be derived from photographing wild birds in nature, and the surprisingly good results which may be achieved by patient, intelligent effort. We do not recall a more adequately illustrated nature book, and its pictures not only claim our admiration because of their beauty, but also because they carry with them an assurance of fidelity to nature which no artist′s pencil can inspire.
