Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is apparent from some things that
bill" Lueders, the Police Court prose-
cutor, does not care anything about
precedents in the law as good lawyers
generally do. This is shown by the
story of the records of the Common
Pleas and Circuit Courts Of this county.
They reveal marked contrast between
the manner of prosecuting slot machine
owners in 1895 and that at the present
time, while "Bill'' is running the prose-
cutor's Office.
In 1895 there were ten cases taken
from the Police Court to the Common
Pleas where men had been arrested
for having slot machines in their places.
They were convicted in the Police
Court on charges of exhibiting gaming
devices. They took the cases to the
upper court to test the question wheth-
er the machines were gaming devices
Judge Wilson decided they were and af-
firmed the decision of the Police Court.
The cases were taken to the Circuit
Court and Judge Wilson's decision was
affirmed.
The machines now operated are
more strong armed" robbers than
those of four years ago, but Bill does
not care for that. He is obeying or
ders, and the fact that two courts of
jurisdiction superior to the Police Court
have held that the machines are gam
ing devices carries no weight with
"Bin."

"It's long time." said MT. Glim- merton. "since I've read anything in the papers about throwing things at cats. There used to be frequent men, tion about how men threw bootjacks, boots, water pitchers, coal scuttles and fire tongs at them. 1 knew a man n.y. self once that threw a lighted lamp at cat on a fence. He never touched the cat, but set the fence afire and had to pay $7.
 "But the custom has not fallen alto gether into disuse. There is a cat in our neighborhood that walks along the back fence at night, weeping and vail ing in a manner most distressing to hear For long time these unpopular concerts were not disturbed. but night before last we heard the sound of a mighty blow upon the fence. It sound ed like the crash of an immense rock. It evidently missed the cat, but 1t end ed the concert. The cat didn't come back that might've hope it never will. How the man got the rock over there we don't know. Surely he never could have thrown it that distance. He must have rigged up catapult of some sort A catapult would be very appropriate for the purpose. ."-New York Sun.

 "He did 1t little more awkwardly than usual. too. deliberately choosing the old fashioned method of offering me his hand and heart"
 Here she paused to drink some choc- olate. and the girl in blue asked breathlessly what she said.
 "Oh.' remarked the other in the tone of one relating an event of no importance. 'I told him that believed I was already provided with the full quota of bodily organs. and that l wouldn't deprive him."

 "Well, Belle. that's the funny thing. He seemed to brace up, and said DO. litely that at any rate there was no doubt about my having my full share of cheek! And l was so delighted to find a man capable of even that much repartee on being rejected-that ac. cepted him. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Hose Water and Rain,

Flowers know the difference between a rainstorm and drenching from the garden hose. You may deluge them with barrels from the hydrant, and they will at best simply hold their own. Generally they wither in the long, dry seasons and that without regard to the artificial wetting they may re- ceive from the gardeners. But let a little shower, however brief, fall upon them, and they brighten visibly.
 The difference is that the rain brings down with it through the air or col lects in the air chemical quality that the vegetation needs. The rainwater may be as like that in the lake as two volumes of water can be, but when 1t has ridden the upper levels of the at- mosphere, when it has travelled through the various stages of vapor and liquid and has tumbled down through that retort of the air, 1t has become charged with clements that no man can give it, and the flower knows and recognizes 1t, as the first field flowers recognize it in the beginning.

Birds That Fight Eagles.

In Foula, one of the Shetland islands, the natives make business of rearing skau gulls in order to rid the island of the eagles that congregate there and commit many depredations. The mag nificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt the northwestern coast became fa- vorite haunt of the eagles, and in this inaccessible spot they increased so rapidly that they became terror to the farmers and fishermen who dwell on this isolated spot. The .skau gulls are also strong and fierce and the in- veterate foe of the eagle. In battle the gulls are nearly always victorious, and so the inhabitants of Foula hit upon the novel plan of feeding and car ing for the s!Sal gulls. which. thou~n formidable to their feathered enemies are very peaceful and docile whe.. brought in contact with man
