THE LAWS DELAYS.

He laws delays have been touched upon
= by Mr.. Taft in a recent interview, and in
an address that he is to deliver before the State
Bar Association of Virginia, he promises to con
slider this subject at length. The scheme of ap-
peals from one court to another, involving ex-
pense and delayed litigation, has become so much
abused that even the lawyers themselves are be-
ginning to call for reform. 1t is proposed that
there shall be no right of appeal to more than one
court where the case does not involve a sum more
than $500. Ii has been argued that such change
in the practice would operate against the poorer
ltgant but this is improbable as it is the richer
htgant who can afford the expense of fighting
case through the many channels that are opened
to him.
The evil complained Of however. is more
strkingly in evidence in the larger cities, where
there seems to be no end of appeals How often
are even divorce cases carried through one court
or another until there appears to be no end to the
technicalites And the same is true in other
cases
The evils complained Of, however, are not
prevalent in Delaware The right of appeal has
very seldom been abused here, and in fact it is
infrequent for one of our higher courts to upset
the decision of a lower court There is little en-
couraRement for appeal of cases in Delaware.
And be it said to their credit that the complaints
that the attorneys desire or are selhshinev will
ing to proong litigation are very seldom heard in
this State.

BY THE WAYSIDE

A pompous rat with a flowing fail
and a whiskered lip, and a plaintive
wall, or perhaps a rat can't wall. YOU
say, but makes a noise in another
way; at any rate this rat was big. and
he was fat and he was sleek and he
Jared as good as a rat we'll could and
was as happy as he could be. This
rat with the tail and the whiskered lin
looked out one night on the street we'll
lit, and said to himself with a rattish
grin, This place that I'm abiding IN
Is getting most too scant for me so
I'll just go forth and perhaps I'll see
another spot that will suit me good,
and keep me supplied with better
food"
Now this rat had lived in a French
street house since he was the size OF
the tiniest mouse; his parents. too
and theirs before had made their nssi
meath the kitchen floor. and never a
thought Of change had they, but lived
right there in the happiest way.
But the rat with the tail said. 'T'Il
not abide. while ambitions burn in my
rattish hide. in one old spot in the
kitchen floor that has served my par
ents and theirs before; but I'll see the
world while I'm young and gay:" and
he smiled TO himself in a knowing
way Then the rat stole forth in the
lighted street. and he looked around
and shifted the ground, and then ran
Off with pattering feet.
But there at the corner plain IN
sight, a damsel stood meath the elec-
trio light; the rat ran on and did not
see that he was running as straight
could be for the maiden fair who was
standing there. unconscious Of all as
a maple tree.
The rat ran under the maiden's feet
and the maiden looked and then she
screached. out from a store nearby
there came a gallant youth-couldn't
get his name-and the youth replied to
the maiden's wall. and the rat was
caught by his flowing tail, and high in
the air was he swung with vim, and
the last spark of life dashed out Of
him.
Thus ends the tail Of the tale of the
rat; who was big and sleek and round
and fat; but II he had been content tc
stay and live along in the same old
way, where his parents had lived and
theirs before, under a plank in the
kitchen floor. this tale as it's told in
this doggerel rhyme, which has wasted
three hours Of valuable time. would
not have been told. and the pompous
rat could have thanked his lucky
stars for that.
