END NOT REACHED
Looneys Attorneys Continue
Addressing Court in Effort
s..~ to Avoid a Trial.
on MOTIONS TO QUAsH
Present Minor Grounds of Technical
Character in Support of Claim
Indictment is Bad.

The entire day was spent in the cir
cult court today in arguments on the
motion to quash the indictment against
John LOoney for bribery. The argu-
ment of the states attorney was made
this morning, and Mr. Scott briefly
but forcibly discussed the technicalttics
presented by Looney's attorneys to save
him from the necessity of defending
himself on the charge against him.
w X. Moore in his argument held il
to be no crime to offer a sum of money
to the mayor to close the saloons, be
cause it was not the official duty of the
mayor to close the saloons This was
replied to by the states attorney, who
pointed out that the law holds 1t to be
bribery to offer anything of value to
any official to influence in the least any
official act of his.

many technical arguments in the effort
to show that the Indictment is not
good. and among other things even de
Clared that the cities. villages and
towns act under which the indictment
is brought is unconstitutional as far IS
the criminal portion is concerned, be
cause the title of the act does not in

argued. too, that the act was not OIL

cause it is not included in the revision
of the laws of 1874. 1t was passed in
1872.
He had many other objections of the
same character and it became evident

A Celebrated Hymn.

Few people know that the hymn
From Greenland's Icy Mountains" one
OF the best known in the English Ian
guage, was written in few minutes.
DR.. Shipley, Dean of st. Asaph and
Vicar of Wrexham, on whltsunday Of
the year 1919, preached a sermon on
the propagation of the Gospel. On the
Saturday preceding the delivery Of the
sermon, the doctor asked Heber, who
was his son-in-law, and then on a visit
to him, to write something "for them to
sing in the morning." Heber sat down,
and, without leaving the room, wrote
the hymn that is now famous all over
the world. He was then in his thirty
sixth year, and was rector Of Hodnet.

But bedtime came very soon, and the
mending was not done.
The afternoon of the fair came, ana
Molly fitted about like happy spar
row. Her father gave her bright fifty
cent piece. The admission was only Ten
cents. and she would have money for
Ice cream.
Her friend Ethel called early, and
they Joined other girls near the hail.
and as they went up to buy the uckets
Molly reached in her pocket. She felt
about nervously. "Why, l surely took
my money, didn't II" she cried; but
Ethel could give her little hope When'
turning up her friends dress, she saw
one pink finger sticking through the
hole in the pocket.
"Oh. l forgot to mend my pocket !!
she cried, in dismay. "And now there
isn't time to go back-and Ia De
ashamed to ask papa again what
shall do?
What she did do was to sit down on
bench and hide her face In her little
red Jacket, for she was not very Dig
o,rl and the tears would come. Just
then her teacher came along, and see
inc the trouble, said, "Never mind
Molly will take you along, and you
can tell papa all about it when you get
home"
Molly did not like this way very
much but there seemed to be no other
wav hut the afternoon had grown sud
denly out of tune. She was still dis
appointed, although Ethel generously
shared her ice cream money.
The day which had begun 30 well
seemed to go upside down, and Molly
was glad when the time came to go
home She had thought Of a great
MANY things-of how her mother
,,ondad and worked for herself and
the boys and how seldom she had been
asked to help in any way. She deter
lined TO do the right thing always af-
ter this.
when she came home her father ana
mother were eager to hear about the
fair but Molly passed them with ner
head hung down, and went directly to
her room, and found needle and thread
and sewed the rip in her pocket. Then
uba came down to show her mother.
Her father laughed, but mother put
her arms round Molly. at was too

A Smart Dog.

There is an old lady in Rochester,
N. Y, says the Herald of that city,
who lives with a family which keeps a
big dog Of which she is at the same
time very fond and somewhat afraid.
The house contains an armchair, which
both lady and dog particularly like to
occupy.
When the dog gets to 1t first, the old
lady, fearing to order him out lest he
bite her, tries subterfuge. She opens
the window, puts her head out, and ex-
claims "Cats!" in a loud voice. The
dog at once leaps to the window to see,
and the old lady gets the chair.
One evening, however, the dog came
in and found the old lady in the chair
ahead of him. He wandered round
uneasily for time, eylng her and the
window. At last he seemed to come
to a determination, for he suddenly
rushed to the window, his hair all
brIstling up on his back, and began to
bark and growl frlghtfully.
If ever a dog cried "Burglars!" he
did so then. The old lady, much sur
prised, rushed to see what was worry
ing him. She saw nothing-until she
turned round. Then she saw the smart
dog peacefully enthroned in the con-
tested chair.
The old lady is not sure, but she Is
almost convinced that he closed one
eye solemnly at her in a verltable wink.
Two had played at the same game.

and they would bend upward. They
were called SNAKE heads" and when
one was approached the train would
be stopped, and 1t was the duty Of the
baggage-master to nail the track down
again. The speed never exceeded twelve
miles an hour, which was considered
very fast running. The engineer was
the aristocrat Of the system and never
condescended to perform so mental a
task as to nail down a "snake head"
When a stop was made he employed all
his time in wiplng the mud off his en-
CINE, which, with such track, was al
ways kept covered with dirt in bad
weather, and in oiling parts.
"In that day." says Mr.. Hughes, "the
engineer who would have thought Of
running his engine backward would
have been discharged at once. 1t was
believed that the way to ruin an engine
was to run backward. People thought
they were making fine speed at twelve
miles an hour, and everything exceed
ing that would have been perilous In
the extreme. One can appreciate the
changes time has wrought when he
fancies a vestibule express stopping to
allow baggage-master to go ahead anc
spike down the track.
