March Lippincotts

The leading feature Of Lippincott's
magazine for March is a novelette, by
Captain Archibald w. Butt U. S. A.,
called "Both Sides OF the Shield"
The Shield is, of course, the south be-
fore the war. A writer on northern
paper goes to Georgia to report condi-
tiuns and falls in with typical south
ern family much reduced in estate.
He also falls in love with the daughter
and when his newspaper revelations
come to her ears she Indignantly re-
jects him. The Spanish american
war, strangely enough, brings truce
to the bitterness, and all ends in very
charming appropriateness.

What the Court says About News
paper Subscriptions.

paper SuDscrlptlOnS,
The follow .ng is synopsis OF rul-
ing OF the United States Supreme
Court in important cases regarding
newspaper subscriptions:
1-Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
2-If subscribers order the discontin
uance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until ar
rearages are paid.
3-If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until after they settle
their bills and order the paper discon-
tinued.
4-If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish,
er and the papers are sent to the
former address, subscribers are held
responsible.
5-The courts have decided that re
fusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and lea 'ing them
uncalled for is prima fscie evidence Of
intentional fraud.
eff subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
eud OF the time II they do not wish to
continue to take it, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it and the
subscriber be responsible until an ex-
press notice with payment of all ar
rearages is sent the publisher.
THE latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publisher can arrest
any one who takes a newspaper and re
fuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the man allows his subscription to run
along for some time unpaid and then
orders it discontinued, or orders the
postmaster to mark it "refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher leaves himself liable to ar.
rest and fine Elk.

What it Means to Get out Paper.


Sometimes man will take up his
home paper and after reading all it
contains in about ten minutes, lay it
down with the statement:
"This is a mighty poor paper"
Did such one ever stop to reflect
on the fact that each letter in that
paper is a separate and distinct piece
Of metal that must be taken from the
case one at a time? Or did that same
person ever attempt to write enough
matter, just one week in his life, TO
fill just one column of newspaper?
Nine out of ten who think the home
paper failure would find it the big
gest job they ever tackled, simply to
fill one column once a week with local
news.-Las Animas Leader.

SALE OF POISON
Ragan Proposes Law Prohib-
iting Purchase of Carboiic
Acid, Without Prescription

Health Officer D. F. Ragan yester-
day decided to recommend to the
Board of Health that the Board of
Supervisors be petitioned to enact an
ordinance prohibiting the sale of car
bolic acid by druggists without pres
cription. DR.. Ragan is desirous of re-
ducing the fearful mortality from car
bolic acid taken with suicidal intent.
DR.. Ragan has ascertained that last
year there were forty-four cases of
carbolic acid poisoning treated at the
Central Emergency Hospital. OF these
sixteen died. Ragan has also discov-
cred that many cases of carbolic acid
poisoning are not taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital. DR.. Ragan is of the
opinion that a law requiring a physi-
clans prescription will lessen to a
great extent the mortality.
Another matter upon which Ragan
will file a report is the quality of the
gas furnished in this city. He asserts
that more. deaths result from asphyxia-
ton in this city in proportion to the
population than any other city in the
world and ascribes the cause to the
poisonous quality of the carbon monox-
ide in the gas. In this category acci-
dental deaths are also included.
Chemical tests will at once be made
to show the poisonous character of the
gas and publicity will be given to the
results of the analysis so the people
will be warned>of the danger existing
therein.

Arthur Piper Waits Vainly
in the County Jail for
Order Setting Him Free
JUDGES DENY PETITION
Supreme Court Thinks That
Shipping Man Should Be
Confined Until He Pays

Arthur Leroy Piper must remain in
Jail until he decides to pay his wife
$3.50 on back alimony. The Supreme
Court has canvassed the circumstances
in the case and yesterday Piper's pe-
tition for release on habeas corpus was
returned with writ denied" written
across the back of the document. The
attorneys for the prisoner were so con-
fident they would secure their clients
release that they affixed an order for
the writ to issue leaving vacant the
places for the date and the signatures
of the Justices. The courts action In
facts sufficient to warrant an investi-
cation of the case.
While divorce proceedings were pend
ing Piper was directed to pay for his
wife's maintenance. Last June he was
shy $625 on his payments, but up to
January he succeeded in getting con-
tinuances. Then Judge Sloss ordered
him to separate himself from $3.50 or
go to Jail. Piper pleaded poverty, lack
of employment and general financial
debility, but to no avail, for Judge Sloss
issued an order for his commitment.
Deputy Sheriff McManus took Piper
into custody at the latter's home at
1921 jackson street and removed him
to the County Jail.
The prisoner was not greatly AFFECT
ed at the time as he thought his at
torneys could quickly make him free
again. Other Superior Judges were
asked to release Piper and then the
matter was taken to the Supreme
Court. Saturday afternoon the prison
er's lawyers attempted to persuade the
Justices to take action, but none Of
them would consider the writ. Much
to the disappointment of Piper he was
forced to remain in Jail over Sunday.
AS the case now stands, he must tar
ry behind the bars until he is ready to
settle.
