THAT Is THE LAW.

NXIHEN court records its opinion,
Wv dear boy, that is the law; when it
reverses it's opinion, that is the law;
when a higher court comes along and
overturns the reversal. that is the law;
when a highest court reverses everything
and everybody, that is the law; when
thereafter by majority of one 1t COM
pels its own wide-reaching reversal to
turn a somersault, that Is the law. What
is the law applicable to the case Of Foggs
VS.. Befoggs? How do know? The high
est court has not yet had time to reverse
it's own decision, and until it does what
man would venture to hold an opinion?
In the meantime. however, ignorance of
the law excuses no man." Don't dare TO
be ignorant of it-after the time has
passed for the last possible reversal Of
the last possible reversal. Until then, dear
boy-well, / don't know. Perhaps some
body who is wiser than Ia lawyer, for
inStance-could tell you.

THE DOLLAR THAT WAS SAVED

A MORTAL had two dollars,

To feed a hungry fellow
And to fill him with content.
He saved the other dollar
To add unto his store,

And exc a little more.

Straight unto heaven he went.

HE WON THE GAME.

LIE won the game, 1 do believe.
He lived too high to men deceive;
He always had a word OF cheer
For those who found the journey
drear;
He humbly lived and humbly died,
But at his passing many sighed;
He had no gold, yet I proclaim
He won the game.
He won the game if fame and gold
Are but the baubles that we hold;
He won the game if love is more
Than tricks of commerce and It's store;
If all we hope of heavens light
Is not dream that ends in night.
And love may still it's ransomed claim.
He won the game.

run Every county which might possibly
be touched in order to make either of the
functions spoken of is mentioned In the
articles, but there is no word in regard to
