Funny, wasn't it? Well. it's nothing
TO a fat woman in the same posish
[ do think, of all the comical sights
in the wide world, the funniest is a
fat girl when she comes out of the
surf. [ have seen puppy dogs with
blue ribbons on their tails, and
neatly embroidered shirts on their
dear, dear little necks, and I've seen
Horace Greeley at a party, but they
are as naught and dust in the bal
ance alongside of a fat woman in her
bathing clothes. | don't think that
men look any better. but We don't
expect grace and beauty in our sex.

are very much in love with a girl
and want to break the spell, take her
to the beach and see her in her surf

Is THE LIEN LAW CONSTITUTIONAL ?-The
present lien law which was passed by the Lee
gislature of 1878 is very decided in its pro-
visions that the owner of building is liable
for all the debts incurred by the contractor to
an unlimited extent. The working of the
law bag been this An architect having
s. 600 contract, could incur liabilities in con
nection herewith to 40 extent In excess OF
his contract, and the party for whom he was
constructing the building would be held re-
snonsible for the whole amount. The party
for wnom the building was being erected has
been held liable for the debts OF his contrac-
tor even after the contractor had been fully
paid Previous lien laws have been decided
unconstitutional in this respect. and the pre-
sent one was made more emphatic to cover
the supposed deficiency The question OF the
constitutionahtv of the present law has been
much mooted among attorneys. Ia the ease
of Rinton et al rs Connolly which came up
Yesterday, in the fifteenth District Court be-
| fore Judge Dwinelle, I. V. O'Bren, attorney
| for the defendant, raised on demurrer the
point that the sub-contfactor could not recover
a greater amount than was due on toe orlgi-
nal contract Judge Dwinelle sustained the
| demurrer. Although the direct question OF
the cousttutionalijy of the act did not come
uc, the practical result Of the decision Is that
1 it is unconstitutional The effect is very i'm.
| portant for all connected in any way with the
construction of buildings. -Ballefin.
