Two Resurrected Legal Stories that

Two Resurrected Legal Stories that
Amused Our Grandfathers.
When we were boys there was current
celebrated legal case, which was at once the
wonder and horror of the age 1t was known
as the famous bull and boat case, or, TO give
its legal title, Bullum VS. Boatum. The facts
were these: In the qtiet village of Laydown
lived William Jones and Thomas Smith.
Jones was the owner Of fragile boat and
Smith was the proprietor Of a raging bull
One evening Jones, who had been visiting his
girl on the other side of the river, tied up his
boat to the shore with rope made Of hay.
He l mean the bull. was trisking his tail in
the breeze with a does-any fellow want-a-
horn sort of an air. He suddenly smelt hay,
and following his nose he discovered the boat
and the haybani.
As a matter of course, he tasted this new
kind Of rope, and he found the ends so succu-
lent that he commenced to eat the coils
around the post; and in order to do this
thing thoroughly, he stepped on board the
boat As he bit, nibbled, pulled and chawed,
the rope broke, and the next moment the
tide (which waits for no man, much less for
a bulD carried the boat and the bull into the
center of the river. The bull no sooner felt
that his bark was on the waves than he
tried to kick the boat back again into its
place; and as he plunged away, fore and aft,
his hind legs went through the bottom, the

TIME ANo DISTANCE.

Why drives yon cabman ever on
So rapidly in dauntless flight'
Hes here one moment and he's gone
The next away, far out Of sight. y
Why, tell me why he hurried hence
With restless hurried pacef
Gle mas accepted fifty cents
To drive one to a certain place.)
And why does yonder cahman creep
So slowly through the busy throngf
His fiery steed is half asleep
And like a snail he moves along
The grass beneath his feet doth grow
Yet on he crawls with lis'less pow'r.
He bides his time; for, stranger, know
His cab Is chartered by .he hour.

@Fond Mother Braley's Fork, asks: "What
shall name my little girl baby"
That will depend upon yourself very
largely, "Fond Mother" Very likely If your
little girl is very rugged and grows up to be
the fat woman in a museum, she will wear
the name of Lily. When a girl is named
Lily she at once manifests a strong desire to
grow up with complexion like othello. and
the same fatal yearning for some one to
strangle This is not always thus, but girls
are obstinate, and it is better not to put
name on a girl baby that she will not live up
to-
Again, "Fond Mother let me urge you to
refrain from naming your little daughter a
soft, fiabby name like Irma, Geraldine Ban
doline, Lilelia, Potassa, Valerian, Rosetta or
Castoria- These names belong TO the inflam-
matory pages of the American novelette,. Do
not put such a name on your innocent child.

accomplished with douches, snuffs, pow
