THE ICE TONGS CASE.
Peremptory Way In Which It was Fl.
naIIy Settled BY the Court.


naIIy Settled BY the Court.
Judge Enoch Foster of Maine settled
a peculiar case in a peculiar manner a
number of years ago. Two men had
been in the ice business for several
years, but had quarreled and dissolved
partnership. The property of the COM
pany was equally divided, and each
man went into business alone.
The following summer. when both
men were peddling ice from house TO
house and store to store, their teams
met on the principal street. While the
owner Of one team was delivering a
piece of ice the owner of the other went
to the wagon of the first and took from
it a pair of ice tOngS. Discovering his
loss when he returned 10 his wagon,
the first possessOr Of the tOngs charged
the other fellow with stealing them.
Each threatened to lick the other, but
didn't. The loser took out writ of
replevin and secured possession of the
tongs.
The other fellow sued to recover,
and thus the case was placed on the
docket of the supreme court. The
case was first tried before Judge Fos-
ter, and the jury disagreed. The sec
Cnd trial was before Judge Walton, and
the plaintiff won. The defendants at
tOrney was full Of fight, and. although
Judge Walton urged that the case be
dropped. he insisted on motion for a
new trial, which was denied. The de-
fendant then appealed to the law court
and secured new trial, and, although
the rescript which came down intimat-
ed that the best thing the parties In
the case could do was To settle the
matter between themselves, the case
was again on the trial docket.
At the next term of court. however,
something came up 50 that the case
was continued. II was again continued
and continued 10 be continued until 1t
finally came up for trial before Judge
Foster the second time The counsel
was making his opening when he was
interrupted by the court:
What action is thiS-that old ice
tongs case again"
Yes, your honor" was the reply.
Where are the tongs?"
Here. your honor" said the attor-
ncy, handing the tongs toward the
court. The court took the tongS, look
ed them over and then said to the
sheriff:
Mr. Sheriff, l want you to take these
tongs and two reliable witnesses with
YOU. Go out upon the railroad bridge

BLACK FOX PELTS.
Only About Five Skins Are Secured
Each Year.

In the estimation Of trappers Of the
Canadian nOrtnIand as well as in the
eyes OF the noplnty Of Russia there Is
only one king of beasts, the highly
prIzed back fox. On an average nve
perfect pelts of this rare fur bearer are
Drought down from the northland each
year and in rare years as many as ten
ur twelve. though each year thousands
of men make living trapping and the
yearly catch of foAsKins amounts to
over 100, 900 from Canada alone.
In no way except in color does the
black fox differ from the red fox,
whose pelt sells for about 81, or from
the gray fox, whose winter coat is
valued at from $3.50 to $400, but when
ever a hunter can secure a black fox
and remove its skin without marring
the fur he is sure of receiving from
$500 to $500 for his trophy. Not only
is every black fox pelt bought as soon
as taken. but a dozen Russian noble

The sheriff, accompanied by two re-
liable citizens, did as he had been bid
den. When the officer and witnesses
returned to the court each took the
stand in turn and testified that the
order of the court had been obeyed
Judge Foster then said:
IF any of the parties interested in
the case feel that he or they have not
received perfect satisfaction, such may
apply to the clerk for an order on the
county treasurer for a sum sufficient
to purchase each pair of tongs as
good as those just destroyed by order
of the court"
The celebrated case of the tongs end

between them about 5000 in litigation.
The tongs were worth about IS cents.

of their advertising matter.
AT the same time they will proba-
bly, resist any attempt on the part Of
one government official to finally pass
upon such wording.
IF these highly paid experts are
violating the law we want the courts
to decide it, and not an official of the
government. This is only fair to the
advertising manufacturers and to the
consumers. who get from the advertise
ments the information they are seek
ing.
THE advertiser will take the posi-
ton, and very firmly, think, that DR..
Wiley is an expert on pure food and
drugs, but he is not an advertising
expert and he is not clothed with the
authority of judge or jury. When
the government tries to remove the
question Of the legality Of the wording
on a label or in an advertisement from
the open court it will run upon a snag
which will do a great deal toward un-
doing much Of the good which has al
ready been accomplished through the
pure food laws"

4 RAINY DAY.-Mark Twain has
been telling a story of friend of his
who was constantly receiving letters
from a man asking for a loan Of some
money. One day Marks friend was
surprised to receive a letter from the
impecunious one which ran as follows:
This time I have decided to reverse
the usual order of things, and, instead
of borrowing from you, enclose here
with G5, which am going to ask you
to lay aside for me for rainy day"
But the recipient Of the letter couldn't
find any check. Thinking that he
might have dropped it he searched for
it under the table and all over the
floor, but to no purpose Then quite
accidentally he turned over the sheet
of notepaper on which the letter was
written, and discovered this postscript.
i've just looked out of the window,
and find that ii is raining like the
very dickens"
