The occurrences Of every day prove
most concluslvely that many persons
have not learned that bearing and for
hsaring would save them a great deal
Of trouble, annoyance and expense.
The dockets of the Municipal Court
and magistrates' offices prove this
most conclusively. The many assaults

examinations that daily occur, chow
that too many are disposed to be con.
tsntious. and have little respect for
