TIE moon was bordering over and tried
to believe that away off somewhere the
one each loved best would some day
be little nearer. Molly, unabashed
in her real love, drew a little closer to
the ensign and put her little hand in
his. l said that the life of the average
girl begins when she cries over her
first broken doll, and from that time
on her education is a series of hopes
and disappoiltments. She is always
believing that some day she will meet
her affinity, who. understanding her,
will remind her that she must not cry
either for a broken doll or a broken
heart. Life Is the great melodrama. 1t
is the story of suffering. joy, or sor-
row and forgiveness.
After that there was long silence,
and the captain, standing at the end of
the boat, looked as if he were trying TO
get the great deep sea TO whisper CT
the truth. We said Good night" in
unison, but the colonel, with his per-
feet poiiteness, announced, Good

Mayor Harrington and City Attorney

m~issioners yesterday tn discuss with
the board several questions of consid-
cradle importance To both the city and
the county one of which related to
city apDeal cases .ried in the district
court. a large number of cases aris-
ing under the city ordinances. i'm which
the offenders were convicted. appealed
to the district court. where the cases
are awaiting trial. one of them was
tried a few weeks ago and the de-
PENDANT and appellant was again con-
victed and the fine of s25 imposed on
him was increased to $50. which was
paid to the clerk of the district court.
The city attorney demanded the money
but Mr.. Clark paid ii over to the
ty treasurer. He based his refusal to
pay the money over to the city on sec
ton 29l0 OF the Penal Code. which
reads as follows: "AlI fines and for
FIXTURES collected i'm any court. except
police courts, must be applied to the
payment of the costs of the case in
which the fine is imposed or the forfeit
ture is incurred. and after such costs
are paid, the residue must be paid to
the county treasurer of the county in
which the court is held"
Judge DE Wolfe thought that if the
section quoted stood alone there
would be no question that the county
was entitled to the fines paid the dis
trict clerk in city cases, out taken with
section 1925, he argued. the money
should properly go To the city. The
latter section reads as follows: "All
fines imposed and collected by any
court, under the provisions of this
chapter Sust be paid by him to the
treasurer of the county. city or town.
according as the offense Is prosecuted
i'm a justice or police court. within 30
days after the receipt of the same. and
the justice or police judge must take
duplicate receipts therefor, n of
which must be deposited with the coun-
ty, city or town clerk, as the ease may
be-"
Judge De Wolfe though. that as the
city attorney was required To prosecute
such appeal cases i'm the district our
and the county not being subjected tn
any costs except for "A jury. the fines
collected should legally go To the city.
He presented a bill against the coun-
ty for the fees claimed ana 1t was dis
allowed by the auditor and commits
sioners. and at the suggestion of the
latter the city will at once take an
appeal to the district court to finally
determine the matter.
