Ne wspapeP Laws.

DR.. Tuckerman, editor of the Work

to collect and compile the decisions of
the United States court on this subject
and gives to the Washington Post, as
the result of his invests cations. the fo
lowing, which may be relied upon as
correct
/. Subscribers who do not give ex.
press notice to the contrary are con.
5idered wishing to renew their sub.
criptiOn.
2. If the subscriber orders the dis.
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send them
until all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers, neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the Office
to which they are directed, they are re-
syonsible until they aref directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher
and the papers sent to the former ad-
doess, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusng to take periodicals from the of
fee or removing and leaving them un-
called for, is prima facie evidence of
evidence of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advace they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time, if they do not wish to con.
tinue taking it: otherwise the publish
Ell is authorized to send it. and the sub
scriber will be responsible until an e2
press notice, with payment of all ar
rearages, is sent TO the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused
and have a postal card sent notifying
thepublisber, leaves himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same as for theft.

Something Missing.

The other night young couple,
newly married and evidently fresh
from the country, put up at one of
the leading hotels, and after being
assigned to room, went up stairs.
A few minutes later the young man
came down stairs and, approaching
the clerk, said:
"That room is very nice, and all
that, but there is something missing
that should be there"
"What isit?' asked the clerk, sur
prised.
"Well," answered the young man
leaning over the desk and Whispering
''to tell the truth, there is no comb
and brush there"
1t was as much as the clerk could
do to keep a straight face. "You
haven'ttravelled much?" he inquired.
"No," answered the man "this is
the first hotel I've ever been in.
"Then," said the clerk, "thc comb
and brush are in the washroom on
this foor-for public use, but we do
not supply tooth-brushes."
The young man went away pleased.

Three Wives and Sixteen Children.

William Cox, citizen of Month
cello, KY, ate his New Years dinner
at table around which sat bis three
living wives, and he is only thirty
eight years of age. This at first
glance appears TO be an astounding
condition of affairs, but it is easily
explained. His first wife Miss Min
erva Smith, who bore him nine chill
dren, and was then divorced. Mr..
Cox then married Miss Julia Steph-
ems. No children resulted from this
union, and she also, for some reason,
was divorced. He then welded his
present spouse, Tennessee lady,
and seven children have blessed their
home. His Divorced wives have
found other husbands, and there is
now feeling of perfect harmony and
good will existing between the three
households. On New Years day
Mr.. Cox spread banquet at his
home, and invited his two former
wives and their families to partake
of his hospitality. They gladly re-
sponded, and the day passed without
a ripple of unpleasantness to mar the
joy of the occasion. The matrimo.
NAL hero was first married at the age Of
fourteen, and if he lives out his allot-
ted three score and ten and keeps up
his past record he will stand without
a rival. Three wives and sixteen
children at SO is not bad.
