OF Course He Could.

In a certain county court a short
time ago, an action was raised for the
payment of a sum of $125, the pur-
chase price of a picture. The defend
ant refused payment on the ground
that the picture was practically worth
less, and paid $40 into court as it's ap-
proximate value. Among other wit
nesses called for the complainant was
the artist who had painted the canvas.
and he was subjected to a very severe
cross-examination.
do you really mean to say" asked
the defendants counsel, pointing to
the canvas, which was prominently dis
played in court, that there is the
least trace of artistic merit about that
daub?"

quiet answer.
"And you consider that you could

Perhaps you will explain what you

gentleman was supercilious in the ex.

Certainly. Had my lawyers retained
you in this CASE you would have rep.
resented that 'daub,' as you call it, in
the most glowing colors."
The shot told, and there was a yer.
dict for the complainant for the
amount claimed.

Not for Her.

Some enthusiastic ladies made a
tour of a Northern manufacturing
town in order to persuade the women
folk to attend a meeting in favor Of
female suffrage, but met with a some
what discouraging reception.
Female suffrage %indeed!" snorted
one strong-minded old lady to whom
they appealed. CAS- if we poor women
didn't suffer enough already! You

FIsHEnmEN's RIGHTS.
Shall They Follow Streams on Private
Property

Denver.--The Supreme Court has
been hearing arguments in the Gunni-
son county fishing case, rising from
the Intervention OF the attorney gen.
erals once on behalf OF the state. Al
ter the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court, holding that an individual had
no right to fish in streams crossing pri-
vate property, the state complained
that It had not been given opportunity
to appear and asked leave to intervene,
which was granted.
G. d. Hayt, Platt Rogers and Ralph
Talbot are acting as friends OF the
court in the matter. having volunteered
their services upon invitation, and will
submit comprehensive brief in the
case. Judge d. C. Beaman. Charles 8.
Hughes and Shackelford Sprigg OF
Gunnison argued in support of the pre-
vious decision. I. B. Melville. assist
ant attorney general, Thomas Ward
and Ethelbert Ward argued for the
state.
Mr.. Melville. speaking for the state,
held that the constitution declares the
waters OF a natural stream to belong
to the public and that the Court Of APP
peals in the Hornbeke. case decided
that the fish belonged to the state. For
the reason that the waters are public
and the fish belong to the state, he
contended that fishermen should have
a right to fish in the streams.
A second point was that under the
common law all streams capable of be-
ing used to float ties, etc. are termed
navigable, and other courts have held
that all persons have a right to fish in
navigable streams.
The state in its argument does not
ask that fishermen be allowed to go on
the banks Of streams. and it is not con
tended that the Legislature ever in
tended they should. but only that fish
ermen have right to walk in the bed
OF the stream. The matter was taken
under advisement.

districts in the hope of quieting the

through the peasants bank and are in
formed that the manifesto which re-
mits payments of taxes amounting to
$22 100000 in 1906 and $45,000,000 an
nually thereafter, is only the first
step in the great scheme of reforms
which will be submitted to the National
assembly, and in which the represent
atives will take part.
The Cabinet, the communication
says. has also approved an appropria-
