r. J. Hawkins. Plaintiff in Error

r. J. Hawkins. Plaintiff in Error
vs..
Error from the district court Of Clev
Error from the district court Of
Cleveland county. Judgment affirmed.
The principal assignment Of error in
the briefs and relied upon by counsel
for plaintiff in error. Is that the court
erred in overruling a motion of demur-
rer to che amended petition and reply
taken together. and in overruling "a mo-
tion for judgment on the pleadings.
The petition alleges that on August
2s. 1895, the plainti6 was the owner Of
a general stock Of merchandise in the
city Of Norman; that on said day de
fendant took possession Of said stock
of merchandise without the consent
and against the will Of the plaintiff
and converted and disposed Of the
same unlawfully by removing the
same from the possession Of the plain
tiff and from the place where the same
had been and then was stored and
placing the same in a building made
quate and unfit for said goods, and by
selling the same at retail at prices
wholly inadequate and not commen-
surate with the value OF the goods;
that the same were sold and disposed
of by inexperienced persons at great
loss; that the defendant failed and re-
fused to account TO the plaintiff for
the proceeds OF said goods TO the
damage Of plaintiff In the sum of &c.
24O and plaintiff prayed judgment for
said 1920 with interest from the 2stn
day OF August 1895. and $3.50 compen-
sation for time and money expended
in endeavoring TO reclaim said goods

essary to entitle the plainuff to a re-
covery under any particular form Of

cipols Of law or equity determine

to state in his petition such facts in
a plain and concise manner as shows
to the court that he is entitled 20 some
legal or equitable relief

addressed Boy Secretary Long to the Presl.
dent of the war board. In recognition OF
its services;
In View Of the practical ending " the

board is now entitled, cannot. though alb

press to you, and through you to your as
sociates in the board-Commodore Crown
inshicld and Capt. Mahan retired)-the
very high appreciation which the depart
ment has OF the services it has rendered
since the war began. That It's members
have been faithful and dnigent, goes with
out saying, for they are animated by the
high professional spirit which distinguish
as the navy and which they have them
solves done much TO stimulate and main
tain But from my personal observation
and knowledge / desire 10 add TO this. that
equally marked have been tAe intelligence.
The wise judgment, the comprehensive
forethought and the unfailing competency
TO meet every exigency which have distin-
guished their deliberations and action
May it not be said that not one error has
been made? Proper control by the de-
partment has been exercised over all
movements In the field, and yet at the
same time commanding officers have been
duly left to exercise discretion and have
never been hampered IN their work. do
not know how your work. as members OF
that important board could have been bet

war you could have rendered better SER

Big, shaggy dogs are in great de-
mand in Maine, and there is money to be
made in filing orders for dogs of this
description to be shipped to the gold
regions of Alaska. So great is the de-
mand that many fine St. Bernards and
mastiffs have been stolen. The chief of
police of Bangor received letter from
a friend in Alaska, who wants carload
of dogs for draft purposes, and offers
good prices for all that can be got
here. Two carloads of dogs from the
maritime provinces passed through
Bangor few days ago bound for Alas
ka. There were 24C in the lot, and on
the way thither they had many fights.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals stopped the train
and would not allow it to proceed until
all the dogs had been muzzled. This
done, the dogs continued on their jour
ney west.

"The society that looks after cruelty

the old lady. "I know that hens suf-

for her previous information. II know

some asperity.
"The aged person." observed one Of
the young quartette, "is not so easy as
she looks. That was distinctly the re-
tort rotten"

sharp-nosed man was declaring mean
while. II didn't pay my money to ride

"Now will you be good" said the
young man who sat with the girl.
She smiled entrancingly at the boy.
II don't believe you've got any hen

In reply he prodded the bundle, which
promptly replied.
"Cutta-cut, cutta-cut!"

had just entered the car. What kind

up to the boy, who was nervously FUN
bling at his coat. 1--WE got a mind to
stop the train and fire you off right

What for?" inquired the youth in in
jured tones. "You got my ticket"
You throw that chicken out of the
window or get out"
What chicken, mister?"
"Under your coat there. Come, no
nonsense, now. won't stand for it,"
The boy drew his frayed coat closer
around the bundle.

cred tones from it.

cried the old lady. What shame!'

tor, taking the boy by the shoulder.
The train was slowing down as it
drew near a station, and the proprietor

chanted triumphantly as he marched
out of the'car.

A bride of year was recently heard
to say that ten of her acquaintances
were to be married before Christmas,
and that as the parents of all of them
had sent her expensive wedding gifts,
she and her husband were in much per-
turbation about the customary return.
There is food for reflection in her COM
ment that, as they lived in a small
rented house and kept but one servant,
their valuable silver was still stored in
the vault where it had been placed at
their marriage; that although the gifts
represented over $4,000, the young hus-
band had to struggle for their livel
hood, and that the most modest pres
cnts they could select for their ten
friends would take his whole months
salary.
