the anomaly OF two witnesses Oh one side OF a

difficulty is By 90 means a pew one. Even the
creators OF cur language we're SO bescggeu 10
seeking the distinction between "ebr!ety aud
"mebriety" that these contrary words are
used to express the same thing, so that ac-
cordiug 10 the most sober photographers,

is said to have decided that usn can be de-
scribed legally as drunk only when be lies OF
his back and feels upward for the ground, .
while high social authority OF sister Isle
determines that the only convincing evidence OF
drunkenness is proof that man has tried to
