The PILL THAT WILL.
A sample Ballot Decision.

In 1891 the Aspen Tribune pub
lishcd the sample ballot and
charged Is and 40 cents an inch.
The bill amounted to $4,000.
The county commissioners refused
to pay the bill and the matter went
into the courts. Monday the court
of Appeals rendered its decision
against the paper.
The following is the substance
of the opinion of the court:
In their bill. Price and McChes-
ncy, publishers, claimed they were
entitled to recover ut the rate of
Is cents for each folio of space
covered bv the election ticket.
They defined IL folio as an inch OF
nonparcil type or 100 words. The
court of appeals cited that there is
no statute relating to publishing
except that which provides tina,
publishers of newspapers shall be
entitled to 75 cents for each folio
of 100 words and 40 cents for each
subsequent insertion. The court
contcndcd that this referred ia
strictly lcgal advertisements. ''The
act of 1891, which directs the pub.
lication of official ballots, says the
opinion, was passed long afte,
the enactment of the statute rclat.
ing to the publishing of legal mat.
ter, which has been on the books
many years 1t undoubtedly pre-.
scrlbes that the tickets shall be
published, but through some over.
sight no scale of measurement il
fixed by which the compensation
of the printer shall bc determined. u
The court of appeals said that as
the statute is silent respecting the
charge which the newspapers may
make and the fees which they may
collect for their services, the value
must Ike established.
Tho case is therefore sent back
to the lower court for another
trial, in which the actual value oi
the services rendered nrc to be de-
tcrmineti.
This case is somewhat similar tc
the Bloom case. Tho witnessc,
for Mr.. Bloom proceeded upon tn,
hypothesis that 75 and 10 cent,
was the legal rate and therefore
that these rates were just and right
and that the ordinary rules for dc
tcrmining tho value of space Gu,
no iigurc-thnt is to say the circu
lntion Of II paper. its size. etc. did
not enter ut nll into their estimate,
of value of space or cost Of thu
publication.

he will take possession OF the Office.
1t has been practically conceded

Llberty-A Fable.
(By Nj. NJ

Once upon a time there lived, in the
land of Freedom, great and good
man, named Right Rule. He had in
his service one, Weak Will, who was
claimed as a slave by his neigkbor,
Evil Passions. The strife had been long
between them, but Right Rule being
the stronger, Evil Passion had been
forced to retreat but not to give up.
He retired to his castle in rage, and
curses, that if they did MT get the
man, Weak Will, for him their heads
should be cut off.
One after another tried, but the
castle of Right Rule was SO strong
that it resisted all their efforts.
At last, License, twin brother of
Liberty, the king of the country, whom
he much resembled in feature, though
not in character, offered his service TO
Evil Passions, for the work in which
his servants had failed.
eff thou wilt indeed overcome Right
Rule, and put Weak Will into my pow
er, I will help thee in whatsoever
thou dost wish" said Evil Passions.
Now, this pleased License greatly
for he had long been secretly plotting
to gain the throne of his brother, and
Evil Passions, with his multitudes Of
slaves, would be a great aid to him in
carrying out his desires.
Accordingly, he arrayed himself in
royal garments, called his servants,
and set out in state for the castle Of
Right Rule, who, when he saw him
coming, thinking it was Liberty, or
dered the gates to be flung wide, and
everything in readiness to welcome his
lord and master.
License greeted him with all the dig
nifty and condescension due to his as
sumed rank, then inquired why he had
SO far violated his commands as to
keep slaves in his service.
NAY, my lord" said Right Rule, II
meant no offense. My servants stay
with me from year to year, I know,
for they do not wish to change mas
tiers. And l keep strong watch on
the walls, for there be many unprinci-
pied 1len who would carry them away
by force and make slaves of them.
But l pay them their wages regularly
and they can go at any time that they
really wish
NAY. but you should let your ser
wants go freely to and from the castle

"A Child's Lively Adventure.

"A SHllu . Lively adventure.
The Chicago Record reports a pref
ty lively adventure which befell five
year-old Iowa boy last summer. He
had gone out to the wheat field where
his father was driving the harvester,
and begged to be taken up on the high
seat by his fathers side The har-
vester was one of those wonderful la
bor-saving machines of which farmers
use so many in these days. 1t cut the
wheat, swept it into sheaves, bound
them, and tossed them aside For a
time all this was very interesting to
the little fellow. Then he grew tired
of sitting still, and began to squirm,
and before the father knew what was
going on, the boy had tumbled off.
He screamed as he found himself 60
ing; but before the horses could be
stopped the machinery had caught him
rolled him up in a bundle Of wheat,
bound him about the legs and the neck
with Irvine, and there he lay on the
ground.
He was not hurt. A little skin had
been scraped from one of his shout
ders, and he was, or thought he was
almost choked. That was all; but HI
was very much frightened.
