SAYS HOUSTON JUDGE

Houston. Tex. Sept. 29-Judge Jno
XIII casaof he corporation court has
determined the legal meaning of the
term 'goo-goo eyes as uoed in the
famous aati-firting ordinance of
Houston. The opinion was delivered
upon the conviction of John McPaul
charged with violation of the ordin-
anee. The opinion follows:
BY the term 'gc3-goo eyes is meanf
any comfort on, unusual movement or
any fixed unusual attitude of the eyes
providing the sflid contDrtion, unu-
sual movement, or unusual fixed al
titude is made with the intent of at.
tracing, alluring or coujur ng the az
tention of any wcman CT female
the said ordinance ;eciteh 1t Will
be noted that such eyes, ii made at
al infant in arms, prov ded it is of
the gsntler sex is unlawful upon the
streets of the city.
The intent Is the point upon which
the main construction must be placed.
A stare is a goo-goo If it is committed

intent IS goo.goo likewise the cock
ing of an eye, ogling, making wide
eyes, all come within the broad sweep
of the term goo-geo' if accompanied
by intent.
THE meat of the nut Is intent
Without it no person is guilty of this
crime of goo-gooing, The preponder
ence of the evidence must be upon the
prescott en-. From the acts of the
person making the unusual movement
or maintaining the unusual attitude
of the eyes are his Intentions to be
determined.
He could not, for instance, be &C
cnsed of making goo-goo eyes in the
presence of men only, nor if he were
alone upon the street. The presence
of female is necessity and az
heretofore stated, the unusual aIti-
tude, such as the stare with the wide
eyes, or an unusual movement, such
as a squint, II made while her eyes
are upon him is strong presumptive
evidence of his guilt and quite suff :
eient without counter evidence to SO

The RanchWoman.

The success of Mrs. w. n. Sherman
and the beauty of her hospitable home,
the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali
fornia, should be an incentive to every
woman to hold fast to the home in
stnct while winning her way in the
business world In the face OF much
opposition and caustic comment Mrs.
Sherman, soon after leaving an east
ern college, bought large tract of I'M
improved land near Fresno, deter
mined by her own efforts to develop
It's possibilities.
Her success is indicated by the fact
that Minnewawa is valued at over five
times the original investment. During
the busiest season there are over 400
people at work on the ranch and in the
cannery. Since discovering that by
personal oversight of the packing her
grapes brought from 500 to $500 more
per carload than when left to the su.
peryision of others. Mrs. Sherman
very sagely concluded that woman
can be real helper, even though she
leave the care of the household to
some one else. Mrs. Sherman has not
confined her efforts to raisin growing
alone. but has a national reputation as
a stock raiser and fruit grower.-Pil'

at dead Of night, in the presence Of as
many Of the old customers as can be
collected AS a sort of libation bot

poured into the grave, and an appro-
pirate burial service repeated. The
temperance advocates in the crowd
cheer Justify, and the droughty ele.
