HIS HORSES WERE WOODEN
But All the same He Had to Pay For
Livery License.

As his honor" sat on the bench from
which even handed justice was dis
pensed in the town of Lavilla, which
iourished way down in Florida before
the days of Greater Jacksonville. he
was amazed to note among the prison
erS at the bar a paleface.
Casting the eagle eye of the law over
the room. he was agitated still more TO
observe a billed" shirt and standing
collar and that these were Worn as Al
other white man.
The marshal, being called on. explain
ed that one white gentleman was ar
rested by him for running 4 flying
jimmy" without q license, and the other
was his LAWYER To man cast in a
less heroic mold than the mayor such
complete smashing of all records and
invading of precedent would have been
a Waterloo \ white man arrested in
Lavilla and q lawyer appearing TO
plead in its court. To what are we
coming?
RepressinG all signs OF such I strain
on his judicial composure, the mayor
announced that 10 htungly mark so
great an occasion he would disregard
the calendar and take up the white
mans case first.
The lawyer demanded the immediate
discharge Of the prisoner on the ground
that there was no ordinance requiring
flying jimmy" TO pay license and
threw the court on It's beam ends" by
asking for a copy Of the ordinance
book.
No one had seen it in years. Many
doubted II there had ever been one. \
whispered consultation was held be-
tween the mayor aad the marshal and
g search instituted which revealed the
book. with q brick on top Of il. supply
ing the place Of a missing leg OF the
stove
After hooking vainly through the
book for law on dying iinnies" his
honor delivered Judgment as follows:
Ordinance No. II requires all keep
ers OF livery stables 10 pay a license Of
SO and imposes a fine Of twice the
amount for running without q license.
The defendant must pay both the fine
and the license.
But" objected the lawyer. this
man don't run a livery stable; he runs
flying jimmy"
He keeps horses for hire. doesn't
he?"
Yes. but they are wooden horses,
and ne charges q nickel for one ride"
The ordinance makes no fine distinc-
ton Il says livery stables require
license. \ livery stable is place where
horses are kept for hire. Il makes no
difference whether they are wooden
horses or meat horses. Next case. Mr..

The Coffee Heart.

The largest part Of the coffee grown
in the world is consumed in the United

societies are beginning 10 realize how
its excessive use increases the risks Of
life. Is effect Is in shortening the

NOTHING WAS LOST.
An Omission In Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.

\ distinguished officer of the United
States navy once told this story on him
self:
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had had
many narrowing experiences aboard
ship. through all of which he kept cour-
age and remained as calm as a brave
man should. As the time for the cere-
mony came on, however. his calmness
gradually gave way. At the altar. amid
the blaze of brass buttons and gold
lace marking the full naval wedding
the officer was all but sJampeded and
what went on there seemed very much
mixed to him. Fearing the excitement
OF the moment would temporarily take
him off his feet. the officer had learned
the marriage ceremony letter perfect.
as he thought and he remembered re-
peating the words after the minister in
a mechanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again. including the Off
GERS state of mind. the kindly clergy
man came up TO him and touched him
en- the shoulder
Look here. old man." be said. you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods
whats that" asked the bridegroom.
with something OF astonishment in his
voice
Why. I repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods thee endow' sew
eral times and despite my efforts you
would not say it after NE"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed for
a moment, and then a beaming light
came into his face.
Never mind, sir" he said she
didn't lose q blessed thing by my fail
ure. "-Washington Star.
