No man who buries his talents can
live happy life. The most unhappy
people one meets are those who have
abundance, but refuse to use ii in the
way God intended. They are living
for themselves and know it is wrong
and are unspeakably miserable on that
account. but cannot bring themselves
to live otherwise. The most happy
people in the world are those who de.
vote their talents. whether great or
small, to some good use. This Is an in
fallible recipe for happiness. Let any
unhappy man begin at once to do all
the good he can, in every way he can,
to as many Of his fellow men as he can
and his heart will begin at once to sing
for joy.--Christian Advocate.

some amusing contributions to the dis

busy life n sacred day when we are 10
look after our souls. Is Ii exorbitant
after giving six days to the feeding
and the clothing of these perishable
bodies that God should demand one
day for the feeding and the clothing
or the immortal soul? Our bodies are
seven day clocks, and they need to be
wound up, and If they are not wound
up they run down into the grave. No
man can continuously break the Sab
bath and keep his physical and mental
health. Ask those aged men, and they
VIII tell you they never knew men who
continuously broke the Sabbath who
did not fail either In mind, body or

this as his experience. He said: 81

necessity of working capital.
In March last the trustees brought
suit to recover s3,500, which amount it
was alleged the company was owing
under this agreement In answer to
this suit, the company says that one
month before the suit was instituted 1t
repossessed itself of the park through
to pay the 81 a year rental that was
agreed upon. Further. it alleges that
the trustees violated the agreement by
not using their best endeavor to make

Judge Edwards in the main court

A verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of $33 was secured in the case of f. NJ.

worked as a carpenter for the defend
ant in 1897. He alleged Woodling
owed him $44 balance for wages. Wood
ling produced a check which he paid
Lepp in December, 1897, and which was
payment in full to date" Attorney
7. p. Duffy, who represented the plain
tiff, argued to the jury that the pay
ment in full to date" was added after
the check was returned from the bank,
and pointed out a difference in the

of the check and that which was use j
to write the phrase in question. A. A.

Judge John p. Kelly yesterday filed
five opinions, the first he has handed
down since his elevation TO the bench.
None of them were of unusual import
ance and only one of them contained
anything that gave opportunity for
interesting treatment
This one was the case of the Shaffer
estate, in which exceptions were taken
to the report of Auditor Herman Os-
thaus by Isaac Sidebottom and his
wife, whose claim of $1,S06 was dis
solved. Part of the claim, it will be
remembered by readers of The Trib-
une, was for time spent by Sidebottom
in playing checkers with old man
Shaffer.
Judge Kelly, after discussing the
case interestingly, finds that the ref
eree's judgment was correct and adds:
IF any injustice has been done the
claimant It is due to his misfortune
in being unable to furnish evidence
sufficient to satisfy the requirements
of the law in cases of this character"
In the case of Mary Coyne against
John Slane, Judge Kelly discusses and
decides the question at issue as fol-
lows:
can one who has obtained a judS-
ment for board for more than four
weeks issue an attachment for a sum
sufficient to pay for four weeks board,
and after having collected such sum
again issue an attachment on the
same judgment to collect for an ad-
ditional four weeks board We think
not. The attachment is in the nature
Of a nd ch hn
Judgment. We know of no authority
to justify the plaintiff in the judg-
ment, the whole amount of which is
due end payable, in issuing a series
| of executions so as to collect his judg-
ment in installments."
In the case of the Dime bank to
the case of Frank Suydam against
John Brown and others, the exceptions

ruled and Judgment directed to en-
ter for the plaintiff.
The rule for judgment for want of
