A CINCINNATI clergyman in recent
sermon said that some people are SO in
love with the mighty dollar that they
would walk across the mouth of hell
on plank to get it. A strong way of
putting it? Yes, but painfully flip
pant, and entirely beneath the dignity
OF the Christian pulpit. A preacher
should not try to split the ears of the
groundlings.

ANOTHER illustration of the laws de-
lays is furnished by the United States
District Court in Philadelphia. A case
was finally disposed of there recently,
which involved only about $1,000, and
has been in the courts for fifty years.
The principal in the case, his lawyers,
the judges before whom it was first
tried, the United States Supreme
Court justices, and everybody else
connected with the case from the start,
died long ago, and there is now neither
plaintiff nor heirs to receive the award.
This latter circumstance can hardly be
deemed misfortune, however, in view
of the size of the fees that must have
gone to the lawyers.
