PHONE TALK IS ABOVE LAW
Court Holds That No Action Lies for
Ereach of Peace,


Judge H. L. Buck of the municipal
court of Winona holds that no action
lies for breach of peace where the
words were spoken over a telephone,
although such words would be action
able if spoken directly to the person
addressed. He holds that by the time
the person offended had reached the
person speaking he would have had
time to cool off, The action was
brought because of abusive words al
legged to have been spoken by Law
renee Kreidermacher to Mrs. Mary
Simon over the telephone at Oak
Ridge, Winona county. The trouble
arose between neighbors because OF
stock running at large.

Some Suggestions As to Lyina.

There is not so much objection to
lying as there is to lack OF art in
the telling of lie. 1t is no use to tell
lie unless you are going to ac-
complsh your purpose. Lies can do
the work whether they are discovered
or not. 1t is all in the manner of tell.
ing them. In the first place never tell
a lie when the truth will do just as
well. This serves to establish your
reputation and gives your lies a stand
ing they could not otherwise gain.
Never tell a big lie to gain a small
object, nor tell little lie TO gain a
big object. Let all your lies be big
and lusty fellows, and let them have
some big business in hand. These two
rules are really imperative II you ex-
pect to become a successful and pro-
iicient liar. Little lies for little things
are not worth telling
Finally, always have the courage OF
your lies. Stick to 'em. If you are
not brave enough to stand by your
own lies. why send them out only to
be betrayed? A man is the rankest
sort of a coward that refuses to give
his lie any support when it crawls
back to him from the buffetings, beat
ings and rough usage OF the populace.
Brace it up with manufactured cor
roborative evidence and artificial con-
firmation and send 1t out again re-
newed in spirit and vigor.-Washing-
ton Times.
