Amateurs Discuss Law.

Some lively discussions of pertinent
questions of law are being discussed at
the sessions of the amateur law class.
The last two meetings have been held
at the home of Martin Doyle, the inter-
est and attendance being well main
tanned.
The following are few of the ques-
tions considered by the class: "The
Law Merchant, which governs in cases
not covered by the Negotiable Instru-
ments Act" ''Kinds and forms of Ne
gotiable Instruments" "Validity of
note signed with lead pencil, by rubber
stamp, or by the wife of the Maker"
"Negotiability of note payable in
money or wheat; obligation of the
holder of note to take anything less
than legal tender money, or the validity
of the payment of hundred dollar note
in pennies; SIS an order to pay quar-
terly notes as they fall due bill of
exchanged; els the negotiability of a
note destroyed by an agreement to pay
costs of collection or an attorneys fee
in case payment is not made at the
time of maturity, or in case the maker
valves the benefits of the homestead
or exemption laws, etc.
There is excellent discipline in the
consideration of these questions beside
the improvement offered for ones
business training.
The next meeting will be held at the
home of Superintendent Elliott next
Monday at 1880 p. m.

We know there are bigger stores

they are away in distant cities.
The nearest you can get to them,

But permit us to point out that
that is hardly satisfactory
method of buying jewelry.
Even if those big stores do carry
larger stocks than ours, they are
composed of mere duplication. Fl
We've here variety enough to
