The Weight Of Precedent.

There Is a story reported IS having
been told by Col. Fred y. Dow, Of
Portland, Ne, which shows well how
customary usage "broadens down from
precedent to precedent" And no less
plSinly does it show the weight OF the
exceptional precedent
Colonel Dow once visited friends ST
QsAec, and while seeing the sights OF
the city aud its Surroundings he took $
nnblic carriage to visit the falls Of
Mantmorency. At halfway house
on the roAd the driver pulled up his
horse and remarked: "The carriage
always stops here"
For whst plrpOssg" asked tie
colonel.
"For the passengers to treat" was
the reply.
"Blt none Of Us drink, and We do
not intend to treat"
The driver had dismOunted snd vss
waiting by the roadside Drawing

Impressively:
Il have driven this carriage now
more than thirty years, and this ha:
happened butOnce before. Some year:
ago I bad for fare a crank from Port

who said he wouldn't drink; and, whs
