It's Absurd You Know.

Some years ago in India, at the
Royal Artillery hospital, tin mugs
were used in place of tea-cups.
These the patients appeared to like,
as several of them were stolen. The
sergeant in charge was determined
to put a stop to this, so he marked
the mugs with the letters T. o., and
after several days had passed he
managed to capture one of the
thieves who was forthwith taken
before the chief. In dispOsing OF
the case the chief asked the SER
geant what he meant by the letters
T. o., and was, as you may imagine,
rather amused at the prompt re-
ply, "Tillery 'orspltal, sir."-Lon.

NEWSI APER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
'If subscribers order the discOn-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that res
fuslng to take periodicals from Of
fee before removing and leavin g
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respon-
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any man for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses TO pay for it. Under this
law it ia a dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription ac.
count to run on from six months
to a year and then tell the post
master to mark refused or to
send the editor a notice to dlscon-
tinue the paper"
