WHY THIS BOOM?

Mere marriage licenses were issued
yesterday than have been issued in
Ramsey county on Saturday within
year. Whether it is mere coincidence
in view of the fact that to-day is ground
hog day, or thatsLent is approaching,
and there is desire to have wedding
festivities over before the season of
humiliation and fasting comes. is only
matterof conjecture. Sir Oracle has
saying applicable to each day of the
week for celebrating marriages, in
which he sets forth the varied happen
ingS or luck attending the hearts
united, and has said that married on
Saturday-po luck at all.'' 1t is there
fore barely possible that number OF
persons who are willing to avoid the
challenge to Fate, as laid down by Mr..
Wiseacre, and, not being hampered
with luck, to carve out the fortunes of
life-if not single-handed. then double
handed-if such expression may be al
lowed as applying to married life.

SOME LEG Al YARNS.

Frank HdrdenOerg, q young actor,
who made quite reputation some years
ago, but who has not been heard from
for q long time, e,drifted out West and was
made a local Judge. Frank was trying
a case one day between two individuals
who had monetary difference. One
of them slipped up to the judge and
conveyed a SO bill into his palm. Un-
observed, Frank held ont his hand to
the other, who took the hint and hand
ed over SIS. Turning to the first one,
Judge Hardenberg said: II don't see
how you can win this case. 1t stands as
fifteen TO ten against you" And Frank
decided the case accordingly.
This suggests a story told by a st.
Paul justice. He was trying case, the
evidence of which was finally all in, but
the decision was delayed. Tne oppOS
ing attorneys wondered what was up.
At last the justice Strengthened up,
looked over at the attorneys, and said:
"Genllemen. the court is ready to de-
eide this case, but the fees have not
been paid in" Both attorneys scram-
bled to the Justices desk, each diving
into his pocket and planking down a
handful of silver in front of his honor
at the same time.

Judge Cory tells story about Judge
Burnand, an old-time justice of tn !
peace in this section. Judge Burnand
got out of office and to practicing law.
With the justice who succeeded him
Judge Burnapd was q great authority,
and he won every case which he had be-
fore the new incumbent. A case came
before him in which one of the parties
was represented by Judge Burnand.
The other party to the suit, knowing
Judge Burnand'S influence with the
new justice, went off and procured q
crack lawyer. The latter assured his
client of success and cited the decision
of the supreme court concerning the
point involved. When the case came
up for trial Attorney Crack got up and
said, Your honor, the su-
preme court has handed down a
decision in case exactly such as this
and he read the decision from law
book, which should have settled the case
IN his favor. At the close of the su-
preme judges ruling was the line,
"Other judges cOncurred." Judge Bur-
nand took the book, and ran through
the opinion. When his eye struck the
line, "Other judges concurred," he
frightened up as though imbued with
an inspiration. Your honor" he SAID,
''there are five judges of the supreme
court. When case goes before that
tribunal one of the judges passes upon
it. The others may or may not agree
in that opinion. In this case, cited by
my colleague. you will see," and patted
the book confidently with the ends of
his right fingers. ''that the 'other judges
conquered And Judge Burnard sat
down. The new justice decided in his
favor, and the case had to be appealed.

Collect One.
A promissory note made and deliv-
cred on Sunday, since the adoption of
the penal code Jan. 1, 1886, is valid.
This is the law, as interpreted by Judge
Kelly, of the district court, in over
ruling the demurrer to the complaint in
the case of the Commercial Bank of
Milwaukee against R. B. Richter. The
court further says that under the stat
ute prior to Jan. l, 1856. note made on
Sunday was void, as was also any con-
tract requiring the performance of for
hidden labor on that day. 1t also pro-
hibited service labor except works OF
necessity or charity; it prevented pub
lie sports, trades, manufactures and
public traffic, with certain defined ex-
ceptions. upon that day. The judge, in
conclusion of his memorandum, says:
Il dislike to hold the rule forbidding
the making of ali contracts or all
worldly business. so wisely settled in
this state, as changed, but in view of
the radical change made in the statute,
am forced to so holt"
