TO the Editor Of the Times:
f. the Richmond Dispatch Of yester,,
day there appeared an article slgned
"Veritas.r The position this writer
assumes is not only remarkable, but
monstrous. He says: There are
Judges upon the bench so well known
to be opposed To granting liquor licenses
where coupons are rendered that DO
dealer dare tender coupons 10 their
courts y "Veritas" admits the legal
right of one to use coupons. but fears
the Treasury may b, depleted OF funds
and calls the use of coupons a crime
which he terms moral treason. "
..Veritasr next proceeding to think
for all the Judges, says: Ii the judges
know this then they would hardly be
fully satisfied that the applicant for a
license, thus guilty Of moral treason IS
a fit pcrson TO conduct sucn business or
that he will keep an orderly house.
understand their rights aod the
facts they are thus: The law directs
that il an applicant is a suitable per
son. and the place a convenient one
the license may issue; hence. the as
cretion of the court is plainly Judl-
cial one. and even though the Jdj8e
might be out and out IN favor OF pro-
hibition. his oath of Office requires that
to all suitable applicants 10 convenient
o.alities license should be granted. /.
But "Veritasn says it is to be heid
that one who uses coupons ls
not suitable person. THIS Il
the monstrous part OF his proposition
The State has always admitted, and
now admits, the right OF all her cltlzens
or debtors to use coupons IN payinl
her any tax. Sections l06. iO7 aud 4O'
of the new Code show this to be fact
and | hold that no court can require
(citIzen to forego one lawful ri9nt IL
order to engaging ia some othei
lawful right.
Such court would be guilty OF
crime greater than moral treason.
Suffice il to say. that the courtsof TN
city are conducted upon very diiferen
PRINCIPLES. and with due respect to tn
law and one 5 rights. | am not engage
or interested directly or indirectly Il
the sale of coupons. but l am glad =
learn that the Hastings Court OF thl
city is not conducted upon the princl
niles of outlaw suggested by "Veritas.
The proof Of the pudding Is in eating II
The records of the Hastings Court sho'
that liquor licenses are being granite
TO suitable persons where coupons at
used.
"Veritas'' seems to think that liguo
men are the only citizens using COZ

 My darlingl my darling! he cried. ''I have come to take you away with me, Sadie. My wife need not starve, even if she has none of the hoarded wealth of her parsimonious relatives. ;"
 Bless the man, how 1 admired the scorn with which he looked at me.
 But he understands me better now. Sadie's dowry comprises a handsome residence and an ample income that it is quite out of my power to take from her again, and if the wedding was quiet one, Sadie Stanmore can shine in the best society to-day.

 Each square inch of the skin contains $500 sweating tubes, or precipitation pores, each of which may be likened to little drain tile one-fourth of an inch in length, making an aggregate length of the entire surface of the body of 2O1,- 166 feet, or tile ditch for draining the body almost 40 miles long.
 The human skin is composed of three layers, averaging in all between one- twelfth and One-eighth of an inch in thickness, and, in extreme cases, as much as one-fourth of an inch in thick ness. The skin area of the average adult is, therefore, estimated at 2,OO0 square inches. The atmospheric press ure being about IA pounds to the square inch, person of medium size is daily and hourly subjected to a pressure of 2S,000 pounds.
 An ancient and remarkable clock has been set up in the reading-room of the municipal library at Rouen, France. A single winding keeps it running for fourteen years and some odd months. It was constructed in 1882; underwent alterations in 1916; was bought by the City of Rouen in 1888, and has been re- gently repaired and set going.
 The phoenix, the fabulous bird of antiquity, in form is described as some- what resembling the eagle. It was said to live five hundred years in the wilder ness, and then to return into Egypt, where, having built itself nest, or funeral pyre of wood and aromatic gums, and lighting it by the flaming of it's wings, was consumed to ashes, out of which rose a new phpnix.
 The first living skeleton was Claude Sewrat, born in France in 1799. He was tall and would have been well-shaped had there been any flesh on his body; as it was every bone could be distinctly seen. His arms were compared to two ivory flutes, and his abdomen seemed to cling to the vertebr8. He made a fort une by exhibiting himself and returned to his native town to enjoy it, but sud- denly expired soon after his retirement. St. Louis Republic
