It may surprise some folks to learn
that plenty of British laws have been
drawn up so carelessly and written in
such muddled language that they are
quite useless for their intended pur'
pose.
One of the acts passed in George
Ills reign. for instance, states that
the proceeds of penalties were to be
given half to the lnformer and half to
the poor Of the parish. The absurdity
lies In the fact that the only penalty
which could be inflicted was one of
transportation for fourteen years.
In 1865 a well known q. c. created
n lot OF amusement by proposing an
amendment worded as follows: Every
dog found t~respassing OH inclosed land
unaccompamed by the registered own
er of such dog or other person, who
shall on being asked for his r name
and address may be then and there
destroyed by such occupier or by his
orders" This gem of meaninglessness
was, however. not passed.-London Tit

o,conneLL's GOODNESS.
4 story of the Irish L%iberntor and n
Failing Floor.

Daniel O'Connell was once address,
Ing an enormous meeting In Kings
town. and the crowd was so large that
fear was felt for the safety of the
building. AZ he was about to speak a
gentleman assembled the platform and
said, trembling with fear: "Liberator.
the floor is giving way, The beams are
cracking. and we shall all fall through
In a few minutes" II Is not given to
many men to live through such mo
ments as O'Connell lived through as he
rose to ADDRESS the meeting nor to pre-
serve such magnificent courage In the
face of great peril. Warning he man
to keep quiet. the liberator said. Il find
this room too small to contain the num-
Der who desire to come in. so We must
therefore leave It and hold the meeting
outside" A few rose to leave. but the
hall was still packed. and then O'Con-
nell said: Then | will tell you the
truth. You are Irishmen and therefore
brave men. The floor is giving way.
and we must leave this room at once
If there IA a panic and n rush to the
door. we shall all be precipitated into
the room below. but If you obey my
orders we shall be safe. Let the dozen
men nearest the door go quietly out.
then the next dozen. and so on until all
have gone. | shall be the last to leave"
The Irlshmen followed the advice. the
hall was quickly cleared. and as O'Con-
nell walked across the floor the broken
beams gave way.-Oxford Chronicle.

Normal Bible Study.

A class in Bible study doing normal
work has been started by DIR. F. l..
Hayden. The idea is to give a plan by
Bible and pursue the study of it profit
ably at home, as well as to prepare per-
sons for intelligent teaching in Sunday
schools. The general public are cor
daily invited to become members of
the class. No controversial subjects will
be studied but only the great truths
growing out of Sin and Redemption.
Meetings will be held weekly on Mon
day evenings at 7;30 o'clock in the
chapel of the Presbyterian church.
Come and bring your Bible. Also note

Must Pay the Check.

According to the Ledger, Judge Hus
ton of Tacoma gave judgment Tuesday
against Bert Parton, of that city and
the reservation, who was sued by Thorn
as & Elder, proprietors of the Peeless
saloon, for check which the First
National bank of North Yakima had re-
fused to cash. The check was dated
February %, 1903. The plaintiffs al
legged that Parton had borrowed the
5000 and given the check as collateral.
In his answer Parton claimed that
he had lost 1865 in the gambling rooms
operated by the plaintiffs, and that the
check represented the amount which
had been returned to him through a
peaceable settlement. He contended
that it was not the intention of either
party that the check should be cashed.
He further contended that there was
still due him $l65 of the amount lost at
gambling, and asked judgment for this
sum. A letter written by the defend
ant to the plaintiffs, in which he asked
them not to present the check at once,
as he was not in position to meet it,
was introduced in evidence against him.
The court held that the borrowing of
the money was a separate and distinct
transaction from the gambling game,
and that the plaintiffs were entitled to
recover the amount of the money loaned

An Explanation.

Roger Chute, son of Mr. and Mrs. 6.
w. Chute, residing northeast OF Sunny
side, was operated upon by Drs Harvey
of Sunnysdc and Smith of Tacoma.
Tuesday. The lad fell on stick some
two weeks ago and received injuries to
his abdomen which developed later into
local inflammation. The boys condition
was not regarded as serious by his par
ents until the doctor CHANGED to call
upon them on his professional rounds
and found an operation necessary. Con-
siderable pus was removed and the boy
has since been getting along nicely with
every prospect of recovery.-Sunnysid side

Mrs. Chute mother of the boy re-
ferred to is indignant at the implication
in the above item that the parents of
the child were grossly ignorant or Grim
inally negligent and requests the Her
aid to state that the Sun was misin-
formed; that the first symptoms of
approaching illness of the boy became
apparent on the evening of September
10. and careful home treatment was
administered during the night; the next
day physician was called, who the day
following called in another physician
for consultation. 1t was decided that
an operation for pustular appendicitis
was necessary and DR.. Smith was sum-
moned from Tacoma and also compe-
tent nurse, a graduate of the Fanny
Paddock hospital at Tacoma; that the
child had the best of care and was in
no sense neglected.

that should interest you and the editor
of the Herald, as well as newspaper men
generally. We copy now from Il letter
from Clifford House of the Call:
However improbable may seem the
statement that Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes are now durable in a great ma
iority of all cases, it is well within the
province of some of us in the business
department of the Call to know that it
is true. Mr. Edward Short OF this de-
partment was given up by his physi-
clans as a victim of Diabetes, and j.
now perfectly well. The mother Of one
of the editorial staff has also recovered
from Diabetes. This was so conclusive

Nothing is doing in fruit outside of

Hops.
The hop market is still oflish, and few
sales have been made of the new crop.
Most growers have set their stakes at
25c or higher. and are playing IL wait
ing game until the supply of contract
to buy.
The Kentish Express and Ashford
News, recently in reviewing the hop sit
uation says:
Were = not for the inferior quality
of a large portion of the crop the posi-
ton in regard to the market would not
be difficult but even now it seems pretty
clear that growers should be extra care
full this year in marketing their produce.
The English crop is admittedly short for
the amount required for home consump-
ton, and stocks in hand are insufficient
to make up the deficiency. What may
be anticipated from abroad is therefore
the question. From the Continent we
any, hops to spare to send to this coun-
try and that the market is much higher
than last year; while 1t seems highly
improbable that many will arrive here
from the other side of the Atlantic, be-
cause they appear to be nearly all, if
not all, required to meet the home de
mand The quick taking up of parcels
and the prices which have been obtained
at early sales on the Continent bear out
the fact that hops are very much wanted
by the home brewers, and it does not
look as if competition need be greatly
feared from that direction. This with
very similar state of affairs on the
American side, together with our own
short crop and bare stocks all the world
over, should give English growers con-
fidence in the value of their produce
and hearten them to stand firm for fair
and remunerative prices for it. That
the larger growers will do so is pretty
certain, but the weak point is the small
growers whose limited capital makes il
absolutely necessary for them to realize
quickly, and thus create basis of value
probably very different from what IL
would be if they had time to look
around and thoroughly study the posi-
ton before acting. Obviously then more
combination is required. and it might
be as we'll if the mode of operation of
