A Proftless Life.

The miser through his life's brief day
But little knows of JOY or mirth.
And foolishly throws heaven away.
To get the earth.
His cup of life is filed with gall,
He boards until his eyes are dim,
And doesn't get the earth al all
The earth gets him.

FIVE BAD GALLONS.
Two Blddeford Men Were Transport
Ing Them When a Trial Justice In
tervened.

A case is to come up before the Law
Court in this city next week which will In
volve two interesting features. The first
feature is the new law against the illegal
transportation of liquors, and the second is
the historic omnipotence of the country trial
justice. 1t seems that away back in June,
the 21st, two luckless wights of Biddeford,
Fred Butler ana William Bushey, went to
New Hampshire and bought five gallons of
whiskey, which they put into their wagon.
They then started for their Maine home. In
the town of Wells calamity overlook them
In the shape of Constable Knowles of Ken
nebunk, who arrested them. They were
taken before Justice Bourne of Kennebunk
and tried on the next day. Attorney p. z.
Prince of Biddeford was their counsel. They
were arraigned for illegal transportation I'M
der the law passed this last winter, the PEN
atty of which is fine of $500 and one years
Imprisonment. In default of the fine an ad-
ditional year must be served. The trial was
concluded and they were declared guilty and
committed to Alfred Jail for one year. They
Immediately secured Attorneys Prince and
Haley of Biddeford to obtain for them writ
Of habeas corpus. The lawyers claim that
the trial justice overstepped his authority in
committing the men to Alfred Jail; that at
the most he could only bind them over If he
found probable cause. They took the case
before Judge Haskell of the Supreme Court
and had hearing before him in this city
last Saturday morning. County Attorney
Walter P. Perkins of Cornish appeared to
uphold the prerogatives Of the trial justice.
Judge Haskell did not grant the writ of ha-
beas corpus, but turned the case over to the
Law Court for argument.
Meanwhile Butler and Bushey languish in
Alfred Jail. However, as that institution is
regarded as sort of summer resort by York
county criminals, they are not very badly off.
