months to make his payments. for which
he was fined quite sum. Leonard
finally rendered the association $3.50 for
wha, he claimed was due them on final
settlement, which was refused. the
claim being easo. The property was
then sold under mortgage aud was
bought for the association for eco, and
Leonard was ordered to vscate. The
case was tried before n Justice court
and wen, against Leonard. who APP
pesled to the circuit court. Judge
Powell. in his decision. declared that
the association violated their charter in
having n fixed premium and by the

was made. thereby annulling the com
tract; and having violated the pro-

You seem 10 be enjoying the cake
this evening. James," said the young
wife. watching the disappearance OF
that luxury with look of the greatest
satisfaction.
"Er-yes." was the rather confused
reply Of the devoted husband.
Don't curb your appetite on my ac-
count; shall not think you are greedy,
dear"
Il am going to eat as much as l can,"
mumbled James.
Il am so glad you like IT, I was afraid
that was not making my cakes TO your
liking; you have always eaten so little
OF them on previous occasions"
This one is just what want to-day"
jerked out the husband.
Then she was very. very happy-until
she discovered that he had wagered
Brown that he was the heavier. and was
eating as much of her cake as possible
so that he should win the bet which was
to be decided that evening.-Pearson's

THE COFFEE WAR.
Chespsr Nov Than it Has Besa since BE
fore the War.

NEW YORK, Nov. a5.-As result of
the war now being waged between the
Arbuclsle Coffee Co. and the Woolson
spice Co. the sales Of coffee during the
week now ending have been far in ex-
cess of any similar period during the
past year. Coffee brokers declare
that their sales have been doubled.
The woolson Spice Co, which is con
trolled by the Havemeyers. is selling
Rio No. Mt nine cents per pound.
Not TO be out.lone, the Arbuckles have
made q reduction in their prices.
Coffee is now cheaper than II has been
since before the war. say the old deal
ers. and IL the fight lasts there is no
telling what price 1t will go for. An
other reason for the low price is to be
found in the enormous quantity of
green coffee now here.
