A RIOT reporter of the Chicago Tribune
had an amusing experience while trying
| to do joint service as journalist and cav
alryman. His horse had been hastily pro-
cured from strcet-car stable, and, being
trained to move only by twos, could
scarcely he made to move at all, except
when alongside another horse. Another
serious embarrassment grew out of the
| fact that the animal had been trained to
stop when bell was rung, and every time
| . milkman's or breadman's bell rung he
would come to dead halt. These are
some Of the disadvantages incident to the
use of amateur war-hOrses.

Ross, of Montgomery County, Penn, in

ter and Montgomery Democrat and Watch
man, generally known as the Reoistev, was
recently sold by the Sheriff, when its
former proprietor started . new paper,
with different heading and type, called
the Weekly Rsgister. An attempt was
made to obtain legal right to the use of
the old title by giving notice, before the
sale, that DR.. Acker, the former proprietor,
claimed the right to publish, and would
publish, paper under the same name,
but Judge Ross, on being asked for an in
junction restraining him from doing 80,
granted the injunction. He holds that In
in Sheriff's sale, all rights, all title, all
interest pass rs . conclusion OF law; Ehat
the name SO passed to the buyer Of the
Register, and that said buyer is entitled to
all the protection in the exclusive use Of
the name or trademark which the original
proprietor could have claimed.

his customer was obliged to hurry on

upon the idea of getting even with the re-

At every station where there was chance
he repeated this message. Upon reaching
Boston, having thus rcvenged himself i've

about his business, with quiet smile Of
satisfaction irradiating his placid features
that was refreshing TO look upon. As for
