We cannot however, agree with the court in
its apprehension of the disasters that would have
followed decision affirming the legality of the

seem TO comprrhend fully the fact that in the ex-

that the law is not as Judge Wallace declared IL

But 1t Caused Roar OF Laughter on a

He was going uptown on a Madison

and from the way he hitched around and
looked at the men on either side of him it
was evident he wanted to talk to some one
He finally selected the man on his right,
who was dapper little fellow, with eye
glasses and a gold-headed cane.

I'm having it considerable this fall"
said the other. "Strikes me in the right
shoulder. and 1 can't wash the back of my

you might be subject to it."
The dapper man looked straight across

life was lerky motion to one toe.

the man with the bundle. "Some advised
me to get medicated flannel, and some said
the common red flannel would do. What
sort do you think is bestp"
The dapper man was now flushing up, and
his eyes turned to the door, but he gave no
other sign.

man with the bundle as he united the string,
land it is warranted not to shrink. I'd like
to ask your opinion OF the goods. Have
paid too mrch?"
He unwrapped the paper aud held the
shirt up to view. 1t was red flannel shirt,
which appeared to be zine feet long, and at
first sight the dapper little man turned
whittier than -four, got up and fell over his
cane, and got up again, shot outdoors and
dropped off. Everybody else laughed heart
lily. and after looking around in a surprised
way the old man began doing up his bundle
and observed:
