The young lawyer hastily clappcd on

longer disturbed.
a little later Mrs. Gatty received a
bill for services made out in the usual
form Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him, the bill was pigeon-holed.

When Greek Met Greek.

John Athans, an employee of =. Al
eNander 4 company, was arrested Tues
day morning by Deputy Sheriff NJ. p
Davis charged with being an abscond
ing debtor. Through his counsel W. X
Daley, Athans demanded that he be
brought before Judge h. w. Gibson, the
subscribing authority At the hearing
Athans took oath that he had but Sl5
and that this was all that he had re-
| ceived as profits from his work. Ath-
ans said that he had been employed for
month by i. Alexander company
and that he had been engaged during
that time in peddling bananas about
town. He said that he had received
% cents commission for each bunch of
bananas he had sold lie wanted to
get through because things were disa-
greeable and because Alexander gave
him more to sell than he could possibly
peddle out. Alexander said that Attn
ans told him he wished to get through
Monday night and that what bananas
were unsold would have to be disposed
of by Alexander 1t was claimed that
there were IL lunches unsold that had
been ordered for Athans and that 80
more punches were on the way to Brat
tleboro that were ordered for Athans.
Alexander furthermore said that he
saw at least $40 placed by Athans in
MS dress sui case MoHuay hiSnt anu
that the reason why Athans did not
leave on the morning train was because
he (Alexander) had kept his grip.
Judge Gibson suggested that Alexan
der and Athans waive the return day
and try the case on its merits that af
ternoon. The trial was to take place at
4 clock but the judge was detained
'unavoidably' and before he called
the court to order the parties to the
suit settled. Athans agreed to go back |
to work and peddle out the bananas
that had been ordered for him and to
pay So on account. II. f. Whitney APP

The Law Protecting Deer.
Editor of RefOrmer:

Editor Of RefOrmer:
| have been asked by several citizens
interested therein to state my position
relative to the law protecting deer
which are found destroying crops and
providing for compensation by the
state for the damage done. I believe
the law should be repealed and that
the farmer should be allowed to use
every means to fully protect his crops
from such damage and that the state
should not prevent the farmer from
protecting himself and then use the
state money to pay the damages.
Yours very truly,
Robert G. Bacon.
