chattel mortgage to secure 1t, but that
when the money paid over to him Horne
retained S. for bonus.
He asks that the transaction be declared
usurious. and that the note and mortgage be

would be glad to see the case taken to the
supreme court and decided once for all. 1t
Is most important matter with us. If we
can fine men by court martial for neglect
OF duty in time of peace, II means that we
can always maintain satisfactory disci

always be kept up to the highest standard.
If We have no such power, it will naturally

The Reason the BiiIums Give for
Wanting to Adopt the Name of
Williams,

Time was when the name of Billum
was a slogan with which to strike
terror into those who We're not Of the
name Of Blum, and who lived over
the mountain in the next valley
That was in Norway in the good old
days when might made right and the
Billums used to go out and make merry
with the gentlemen of other tribes who
differed from them politically. The
name of Blum will never again be
used to gather the clans, for the last
two scions of the house of Blum have
asked. and will be permitted, to change
their patronymic to Williams.
In the petition filed severally by Peter
and Hans Blum, they explained that
the name Is not euphonious and is diff
cult to remember or pronounce; that
they have been called Williams general
ly, and own real estate by that name.
So they would like to be entitled to
wear the title legally. Leave will be
given them by the district court
