A Smart Trick.


4 few days since young man dressed
in the height of fashion came, with all
the other travellers, out of the. train
which had just reached Paris from
Brussels. He had scarcely quilted the
car when he was accosted courteously
"Do you wish a porter, sir?' " The
very thing I was looking for. VIII you
take this valise and show me the way to
Hotel de la Rounmania, Boulevard st.
Michel As this is my first visit to
Paris, | prefer going there on foot. "
"At your service, sir" On they trudged.
When they had crossed Point st. Michel,
The porter, instead of following Boulevard
du Palais, turned to the left, went down
Quai de lHoro oge and entered the Per
lecture of Police. He said to the owner
of the valise: 81 am going to introduce
you to the master of the house." as he
ushered him into the Office of the head
detective. The latter no sooner laid
eyes on the stranger than he said:
"Why, good day, Mons. Vanwater. You
have just come from Antwerp, where
you stole a large sum of money. You
have already spent five years in Jail for
q similar crime. What on earth possessed
you to want to put up at Hotel dc la
ROumania, whore lodgings are dear, when
you knew / had chamber at your dis
posal for which I should not charge one
cent?' The thief was put in a cell until
the legal papers to warrant his extradi-
ton reached Paris

The Trade.Mark law invalid.

By deciding that the statute providing
for the registry of trademarks and pre-
scribing criminal penalty for their
| fraudulent use is unconstitutional in
whole and in part, the Supreme Court at
Washington upset an extensive system
of mercantile rights at home and abroad.
The subject came before the court on a
division of opinion in the New York Cir
cult Court and an appeal from a decision
in Ohio. A District Court in the west
some months ago decided that the act
for the registry of trademarks was I'M
constitutional, but no appeal was taken,
and the patent office at Washington
went on with its work The decision by
the supreme court apparently cuts up the
present system by the roots. The ex-
listing law provides for the registry of
trademarks at Washington on the pay
ment of a fee of twenty-five dollars, and
gives the owner a trademark more eff
Gent protection than is enjoyed even by
a patentee. A liberal provision of the
law allowed the privilege of registry
to the trademarks owned by the citi-
zens of any country which permitted
registry to American trademarks. Prior
to the passage of the law the recOgni-
ton of foreign Trademarks had been Sc
cured by treaties with some European
countries, and conventions covering the
subject have been negotiated with near
ly all European countries since 1870,
when the present trademark act was
adopted. So far as foreign and domes-
tic rights in trademarks are secured by
federal registry they viii be impaired by
this decision, but it must not be over
looked that the right of property in
trademarks is recognized by the com
mon law Every trader and mauufac-
turer has a right which the courts
will protect, in the distinctive mark by
which he designates his goods. The col
lapse of tbs special registry act for I'M
constitutionality simply makes the pro-
lection of trademarks more difficult, but
it does not deprive them of value, and
the law still stands ready to guard Gus
toners against the fraudulent use of
trademarks. There will be a general
interest in learning the grounds of this
decision. The federal statute was passed
in the attempt apparently to assimilate
the rights of invention and trademark,
two widely different things, and was cur
rently based on the power given congress
to provide for patent and copywright
and to regulate commerce.

HOW he 0Ses EN- up

/
Simply because the man who stands
behind, the bar of certain saloon on
Gratlot avenue is pleasant-faced smil-
ing old man, certain parties came to the
conclusion that there was no fight in
him. They therefore cooked up a plan
20 play upon his fears and make him
'set 'em up" for the crowd. These red
nosed men called upon the old man in q
body, yesterday, and business was opened
by one of them saying:
when l was in here last night you

of the others said:
"See here, old man, I'm afraid you've
got yourself into a bad box. That chap
is sure shot, and he'll wing you"

jerker.
"Now, listen. You insulted him"
"Yaw."
"He demands the satisfaction of gen.

"Yaw."
"YOu must fight duel with him OF

"Vhat ish duel?'
why, you will go outside the city
and pace off ten PAGES and shoot at each
other. Now, then, will you do that OF
set up the beer and beg his pardon"
"Vhell, | dells you," replied the old
man as he lifted big navy revolver into
sight. "If l sets up the beer I loses

He thereupon changed his pistol for |
club, danced around the bar, and the |
way he rushed 'em out was painful to
see. The belligerent was waiting on the
corner, and as the pair came busting out |

further represent that there is, in the
six counties in Eastern Washington. 1893
surveyed townships. equal to 9.169,92O
acres. One-fourth of this area in wheat.
at 20 bushels per acre, would give a
product Of As. 849. 600 bushels or 1885,
46S tons. The six counties in Eastern

equal to 1906 GAO acres. One fourth
OF this area in wheat. at 20 bushels per
acre, would produce SO ,4s3, 200 bushels
or 2,247 .496 tons. Bearing in mind
that there is large amount of unsur

estimate with any degree Of certainty
the grand aggregate OF this vast country
OF unsurpassed Productive capacity
The transportation Of such products
would require 962j steamboats,, each
