When a pretty society woman. an authoress to boot. is disfigured by a broken nose. what damages can she claim? Mime. Ntod. whose nom de piunle is Vera Starkoff," was awarded f,1,0G0.

 The same judge, on the same day, dismissed d cyclists claim for dam ages against an omnibus company. a vehicle of which ran oyer him. He con sidered that cyclists venturing Into places in. crowded streets take their hte into their own hands.
 The French courts have just given definition of what constitutes a prodi- gal son. to speak more correctly, what does not const titute prodigal son. The Marquis de Catnmadles asked the court to provide his son with a judi cial counsel in order to restrain him from wasting his substance in riotous living. Evidence was brought that he p2i f.2.000 ($600) for dresses for a chanteuse in "a cafe concert, and made similar expenditures.
 Tho court decided, however that though there was every prospect that prodigal son of the very fast order, his oytravaga ganceS up to the present were in proportion to the wealth of his father. and were not sufficiently great to entitle the law to interfere.

REUBEN MADE A SENSATION.
In Duck Suit and Hat 13 Years Old
 He Was One of the Sights.

He Was One of the Sights. Detroit Journal.
 When Reuben comes to town to see the sights. he sometimes makes more sights than he sees. So says the clerks of a large department store into which Reuben strayed the other day. He came from over home" and evidently from next door to the back woods.
 He said he wanted a real dressed up" hat. The salesman spread out a tempting collection, but the price stag gared Reuben. Then the clerk started to think. and when he had thought a long way back into the dusty past, he brought out a black silk hat which had been in stock for thirteen years. It was an old fashioned "stovepipe,"' tall as a steeple, with the mark of the long defunct firm of c. R. Mabley & Go. in it Reuben tried it on. He was dazzled. and struck a swift bar gain, while the clerk shook inside like untitled earthquake.
 Next he went up stairs and brought a snow white duck suit, of the white wing" style. Arrayed in tan shoes white suit and tall, black silk hat. he sailed majestically out into the street The trousers were so wide that you couldn't tell whether starch or Reuben was holding them up. His red necktie on his pink shirt blared like "a danger signal in the dark.
 All eyes turned irresistibly toward him. looking for a patent medicine advertisement . Newsboys "rubbered at de geezer." sedate people stopped and turned clear around to look and smile. and the philosopher thought about the ignorance which is bliss.

Torture Stations.

Speaking of capital punishment, a
writer in the American Journal Of
Sociology declares that the killing of
criminals does not benefit society,
while life imprisonment merely lays
an extra burden on the public. By
way Of making the punishment for
murder fit the crime be urges that
every condemned murderer should be
turned over to the doctors to be ex-
perimented upon until he dies. In sup
port of this proposition the writer
makes a long and serious argument.
Among other things, be shows how
many hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie are dying annually of diseases
which might be cured if the scientists
had a human experiment station
where they could Try all sorts of pro-
posed remedies It does not answer
the purpose to try new medicine upon
animals, and the idea of being expert
mented upon is not popular among
patients. Here is tie opportunity,
says the writer, for making the con-
demned murderer repay a part of the
debt that he owes to society. Let him
be experimental upon with new Sc
runs and potions until he dies.
