THE WILLIAMS BANK BILL.

one bill is rejected because 1t is

any reason for such novel procedure?
surely a bill is not bad because 1t Is
long. or good because 1t Is short. Is

"Thou shalt love TRY neighbor as
thyself."-Mark xii. 81.
"Fulnl the royal law. thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself."-James ii. S.
When one of the scribes asked the
Master, (Which Is the first commands
ment of ALP He answered and satd
unto him, "The first OF all the COM
mandments is Hear. 0 Israel, the Lord
our Cod is one Lord, and thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart. and with all thy soul, and With
all thy mind. and with all thy
strength" This was q full and direct
answer to the question, and as SUCH
ought to have been perfectly satisfac-
tory to the scribe. Perhaps 1t was.
But our Lord was not content to let
the matter rest there. And though
unasked, He further expounded the law
by adding, And the second is ike,
namely, this, Thou shalt love thy
nelghbor as myself. There is none
other commandment greater than
| these"
When our Lord with such emphasis
added this second commandment, He
made it part and parcel Of the hrse.

not (even in thought) to put them
asunder

Mythical Creatures of Japan.

The IapaiIeSe believe in more myth fcal creatures ihan any other people OF
 the globe. civilized or savage. Among them are mythical animals without
 any remarkable peculiarities of con formation. but gifted with supernat- ural attributes. such as a tiger which is said to live to be thousand years old and to turn as white as a polar bear. They also believe in a multitude of animals distinguished mainly by their size or by the multiplication of their members. Among these are ser pepts 500 feet long and large enough to swallow an elephant. foxes with eight legs. monkeys with four ears. fishes with ten heads attached to one body, the flesh of which is a cure for bofls. They also believe in the exist ence of crane which. after it has reached the age of 600 years. has no need of any sustenance except water.

It now looks as if Matthew Lucas, the Italian gentleman who married a German wife, is in serious trouble. When up before Judge Peck a few days ago he promised to keep the north side of Bruce's Creek and not to enter Stratford again. It was also understood that Mrs. Lucas was to return to her parents in Jersey City, and her husband gave her a dollar for that purpose. Neither of the parties kept their promise, and last Saturday Lucas went to Strat- ford in search of his wife, found her at the same old boarding place; com and skipped out into the unknown under cover of darkness. If he falls into the hands of Sheriff Stagg it will be a serious matter for him.

A considerable portion of yesterday was consumed in the local court, be- fore Justice Wakeman, hearing cases involving the infraction of the motor vehicle law. There is so much reck- less driving of motor machines and so many accidenIts take place, that the authorities have become aroused and the state police have been called in to aid the local officers State po- liceman Rowe Wheeler, Jackson and Virilli were attending the proceedings of the court, and giving their testi- mony The first case called was that of Mrs. Josephine B. Lowe. of Cos Cob. who was apprehended on Sat- urday by Policeman Virilli and ask ed to show her license. She whipped a document out of the pocket of her Cadillac, which proved to be value less as it expired last January, and had not been renewed. Mrs. Lowe pleaded ignorance of the law; said she drove the machine herself as she had no husband; and that she sup posed everything was correct. She was furnished with a copy of the law, and Attorney Clitus King ad- vised her to read it. The court held lation of the law, and fined Mrs Lowe s1 and costs the bill amounting to s741, This was paid and the case ended.
 At 4:30 at the office of Bacon Wakeman the more serious case of F. C. Burt was called, charged with overspeeding and with being guilty of not stopping his machine when sig nailed by the officers to do so. The reckless driving occurred as he was approaching and crossing Ash Creek bridge about 5:30 o'clock last Saturday The State Police had stationed them selves on the bridge, and were ex- amining passing automobiles. good many men and boys had been at tracted to the spot, and one or two trolley cars were on or near the bridge MT.
