No Excuse for Late Hours.
There would seem to be no excuse for
the late hours which society presorihes
for its ceremonies. Late evening par
ties for children are admitted to be in
furious. But we are all children or
ought to be, so far as the laws Of health
are concerned. We do not, as many
think, by age earn a right 10 violate tha
laws Of health. Nature takes pay for i
in one way or another.
One difficulty at the foundation Of our
social life is that we do not admit
amusements as necessary to our lives
We do not set apart time for them, but
insist, if forced into them by fashion
upon taking them out Of time that oughi
to be given to rest of mind and body
The day must all be given to business
up 10 its latest available hour, and ther
we take from hours that should be given
to sleep time for social duties New

A rather crude citizen of Seguin, a
small town in western Texas, was
elected justice of the peace and the
only law book he had was Cushing's
Manual. The first case before him was
that Of a cowboy for stealing a steer.
When the case was called the leading
lawyer of the town, the Hon. John Ire
land by name, was there to defend the
prisoner
Gas thore is no counsel for the other
side" he said, Il make make a motion
that the case be dismissed"
The justice looked over his Manual
"a motion has to be seconded" he said.
Il second the notion promptly re.
sponded the prisoner.
"The motion has been seconded that
the case be dismissed, said the court
Gan in favor will please say aye" The
prisoner and his attorney voted "aye."
CAN opposed win say mo- Nobody
voted
"Ihe motion is carried, and the case
is dismissed" " repeated the court "a
motion to adjourn is now in order"
The prisoner made the motion, and
the court adjourned. Lancaster Law

In addition to feeding the hungry,
saving the imperiled and guiding the
lost, it is also the revenue cutters duty
to suppress mutinies, prevent smuggling,
enforce tho neutrality laws and the
quarantine regulations, protect mer-
chant vessels from piratical attacks,
protect wrecked property and guard
the timber reserves Of the United
States against depredations. The CON
stant and frequent inspection Of the
vast fleet Of merchant vessels that
trades along our coast forms very i'm
portant duty of the service, and one
which, if not performed, would be fol-
lowed by very general neglect of the
customs and navigation laws
Even with the rigid and constant in
spections, from 900 to 1000 violations
are detected each year and reported to
the proper authorities. It is not alone
in the examination Of the ships docu-
ments and the ascertaining that she has
no smuggled articles on board, that she
