il = rendered decision OF al
il yDt.au.e - every honsebol Ter
il the country, especially hot se-
i5ers ~ cities. Th.re is ma K
e. difference between urban md

Il abs il 10 his preroystive to 20
Il the country, and remain e g.. a

c. nes to the city we all know ( lat
Il matter is different. He sho I'D
a; once seek out a hotel at wh ch
h will remain during the term OF
h. visit. This is not due entir .ly
to the want of hospitality on he
pf TT of the citizen, but there are
OF Ter reasons. The citizen Writ
in country friend must rem, in
al his house or roost in the WOO Is.
H. any event he is generally vel
CT ned, while the rural visitor to
til, city is very much in the way.
In the Milwaukee case q hOu ,e-
wife had been anticipating the
PLEASURES Of q German festival Of
80 ne weeks duration. The Cay
pr .cedipg the opening Of the fetti-
va she received word that q seool d
&C lsin and his family would AZ
rive the next. day for q little visit.
II is visit crowded the house, PEE
vented the entertainment of frier do
AMI made it necessary that the
N stress of the house should de-
vo @ herself to Homework instead
of preparing snatch" dinners and
whiting the various attractions of
the festival. The second cousins
had set no time limit to their visit,
but the housewife imagined they
would retire after a visit of q few
da Js, and in this belief the unwil-
lir 2 hostess continued to treat them
afi ably until the close of the festi-
We. Then she informed them that
it would be inconvenient to enter
Ia them longer. They did not
m nd the Inconvenience and re-
IN ined, aud the hostess was finally
dr. ven to the inhospitable extent
of telling them that they would
hs % to go. They did not see the
NJ essity and stayed on. and the
h, tess in desperation was CON-
., led 10 sue them for FIVE week S
b. ord at the somewhat moderate
"a of :S1l per week.
The magistrate found that The
Il, uaud was reasonable and found
&c the plaintiff. He laid do WI
Il principle of Jaw that secc a1i
&c -ins had no claim 10 FIVE wee IS
g. erssilment without price. H.
