AUTOCARS IN ENGLAND. .
There Is a Strict Enforcement of the
Law to Make Owners Regard.
ful of Others.

In one respect, at least, the persecu-
ton of the automobiles is indirectly
serving useful purpose, reports Lon
don Truth. The majority Of the VIC
Tins belong to class which has hith-
erto had little sympathy with the dis
content Of humber folks at the quality
Of justices justice. Now that the
wealthy motorist is coming into per-
sonal contact with this kind Of justice,
he is beginning to revise his opinions
He sees that policemen are capable
of making grievous mistakes and even
deliberate misstatements, and that
magistrates often exhibit the gross
est incompetence and allow their judg-
ments to be sWayed BY the most stupid
prejudices.
It then occurs to the motorist that
poachers and other delinquents may
sometimes have equally good cause to
complain Of police evidence and magis-
terial bias, and SO he comes finally to
the conclusion that the administra-
tion of the law by the Great Unpaid is,
after all, not undeserying of the con-
tumely that has so long been poured
uDOn it.

Of his daughter. This ring was one

Can Drink Dig Pail of Beer mt One
nraugIlt Witdout Showing the

A committee Of English brewers
recently visited America to study the
methods of the large breweries in New

While looking over the Rupert brew
cry the converse ton turned on the
privilege accorded to employees to in
dulge in the matted beverage. To the
Englishmen's5 great surprise they
learned that there was no restriction
placed upon the men.
sBut are you not afraid that their
oyer-indulger might interfere with
their work?" Col. Jacob Rupert, the
host, was asked.
ssOh, not at all No amount Of beer
that they drink can affect our men"
replied the colonel. s'Why, we have a
foreman who can drink a pail of beer
at one draught without showing the
least effect 6.Ie.s1
This statement, says the New York
Times, called forth such an express
siou of doubt that the foreman was
summoned. BIZ. n,

tlemen seem to doubt that you can
drink a pail of beer without stopping.
Now, I want you to fill one of your

This was done, and, without turning
a hair, the German assimilated the
contents of the pail.
