afternoon the lawyer. taking up his
books. referred the court to his author

and page carefully and took the case

IL was inclined after hearing argu-
ment Of counsel for defendant to non
suit plaintiff. but find. after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none Of them bear on this case, and
am led to think that the gentleman has

More than fifty years ago native Of
the village, who had been paymaster
general of the Indian army, bequeath-
ed a sum Of money, the interest Of
which was, fer all time coming. to be
disbursed In five equal parts every
year. One part was for the purchase
of meal fer the poor, while the remain
der was set aside to be divided among

the shortest-who We're married in St
Cyrus parish church.
The administration of the fund is in
the hands of the parish minister, and
unhappy at times is his task. such are
the jealousies which arise among the
competitors. for there is keen rivalry
for these legacies, which amount to
hardly more than $50 each. But that
is quite an important sum in so remote
and simple village. All st. Cyrus

Outdoor SPORTS In Porto Rico.

Ihe idea which once prevailed among
Americans in Porto Rico that northern
outdoor sports, such as baseball, ten
MS, etc, could not be successfully in
troduced into Porto Rico is now wan
ing. The Americans have virtually
made baseball the national outdoor
sport of Porto Rico. as it has been for
long time in the United States. Ten
mis- tournaments are being held, and
football, cycling and other sports have
been tried to some extent When a
northerner becomes acclimated he
seems to enjoy outdoor sports here
about the same as he does in the north.
What great many of us need here in
the tropics is exercise. but too Olsen
we are disinclined to take it. .-S San
