his election was taken by the COM

out into the outlying precincts to min

The scandinavian Justice Of the Peace
A young man by the name of L.

justice court of petit larceny. The
young man was really guilty of only
boyish prank in taking a sheep from

der the circumstances, although need
ed as lesson, was much more than
he deserved; but the justice thought
it was his duty to impress upon the
boy the seriousness of his position.
1t was the first case the justice had
tried since his election, and with the
statutes and the manual of forms in
hand, he passed sentence in the follow

of marriage and divorce within the
jurisdiction of the church's "Matri-

in every instance, the manual states,

Among pertinent questions asked
and answered are these:

a Protestant sacramento"
Cannot Catholic be married first

New York, Dec. 5.-The speculation
in stocks became very animated again
TO-DAY and prices were !;f-cd compre-
hensIveiy to a higher level. The re-
bound liz Russian SecurIteS abroad
and the resulting relation in the finar-
iai tension there was an important
predisposing cause. The Presidents
message, in the prevailing bullish en-
thusiasm, was converted into an infiu-
Cnce for higher prices. The Specuia-
tion broke through the restraint of tile
stringent conditions in the money
market and practically ignored thu
rise in interest rates and the working
of forces of depletion of bank re-
serves The breadth of the market
may be inferred from the fact that
advances of a point or over were
made by something over eighty diff
rerent stocks. While the speculative
attention was disseminated in this
way and the most conspicuous gains
were shown by the obScurer class OF
stocks, the comprehensive strength OF
the market nevertheless was unde
niable. In the great breadth of the
speculative interest the market was
more notable than any of the year
thus far. Ultimately the movement
extended to some of the lowest grade
of stocks and those of very question

usual criticism of speculative excess
which is induced by such movement
