Obiter Dfeta in Court
from the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
We understand that in spite Of other
attractions there are certain number
of people who go regularly to the courts
and sit and imbibe pleasure or profit
from the details Of the proceedings.
Each to his taste; and IL this method
of observing the pageant of life is to
them the most seductive let them pursue
it, provided of course the public GAL
leries are not already overcrowded by
the time they arrive. For the great ma
jority of the citizens visit to the
courts, in the capacity of mere visitors,
Is rare occurrence, although no one
who has made dsnterested pilgrimage
can honestly say that the proceedings
left him absolutely cold. But to Join
the habitues seems to him to be a move
ment toward pronounced eccentricity.
Therefore, he fails to enjoy all the obiter
dicta of our courts. Much of the dis
QUESTION by the way escapes him. And
much there is. The appetite for dis
cussion increases by what it feeds on.
Architects do not plan spontaneous struc-
lures around the structure which It is
their business to plan. Lawyers, on the
other hand, are ready to discuss any by
product of their special pleadings As
yesterday. According to an insanity ex-
pert, I'VE are all more or less insane,
except judges at the moment they are
administering Justice" by his own ar
gument. replied Justice Darling, bland
ly, "the expert was wrong. II he had
said that before me 1 would have ordered
him to be confined in a lunatic asylum -
And he clearly explained the expert s
obvious fallacy to the Joy of the habi-
tues in the public gallery, who applauded
the sanity of the judges remarks.

HOUSE PARTY AT
RIVERSIDE LODGE

The house party which has been spend
ing a fortnight at Riverside Lodge, the
home of A. j. Reilly, has had an ideal
outing. The weather during their whole
stay was absolutely perfect. The days
were not too hot and the nights remarka-
bly, cool and although located on the
river, a mosquito in this favored region
is not known. A hay ride, a trip to
DEVILS Den, a wild and picturesque spot,
and a barbecue Thursday evening were
the features of the week. They were
Joined in the latter by an automobile
party in charge of Mr.. John w. Prude,
who made the trip from Birmingham to
this delightful place in two hours, ac-
eompanied by a bevy of blushing beauties
with good appetites.
The party was saddened this morning
by the departure of Mr. and Mrs. West
for Helena, Mont, where they will make
their future home. This genial couple,
who have done so much in the past to
make things pleasant for the younger
set, will carry many grateful remem-
branees with them to their new homes
from the friends they have made in Biz
mingham Saturday evening the party
was Joined by number of young people
from town. The piece de resistance for
the Saturday evening dinner was a
Brunswick stew, concocted by the genial
host In a 20 gallon iron pot and served In
a bath tub.

Tellta1e Evidence


All of the passengers were amused at
the dove-like tenderness of the honeymoon
couple from the rural districts, and when
the train emerged from the tunnel the
flashily dressed commercial salesman
thought he would have some fun at their
expense.
See here, neighbour he said, in a loud
whisper, as he touched the nervous BRIDE
groom on the arm, don't you know there
are rules against kissing on this road?"
RULES against kissing?" faltered the
frightened countryman.
Certainly! You were kissing while

why, by the SCOT marks. There was
one on your nose before we entered the
tunnel, and now there is one of the same
size on the brides nose"
And just then the pretty bride began
to stamp her foot impetuously and up
braid her awkward spouse.

PARIS "APACHES"
USE DOGS I'M TRADE

"Apaches' have taken a hint from the
police in the matter of canine aides. A
gang of four of these gentry made an in
genious use of a big mastiff, which was
a very faithful confederate. Their meth
cd was to set the dog on guard near a
nickel-in-the-slot machine SO that people
were scared to go near it. Then, when
the coast was clear the apaches would
come along, break open the machine and
loot the money and goods.
When the police were put on the track
of the gang they found them asleep in a
field, with the mastiff on guard. The dog
flercely attacked the police, mauling one
mans leg severely. He was about to at
tack another when he was shot dead

LATEST EXPLOIT
OF PASTEUR SCHOOL

Paris, August -(Special)-The latest
exploit of the Pasteur school is the inoc-
ulation of canaries. 1t appears that the
canary suffers from sort of marsh
fever communicated to it by an insect
known as the codex.
At the Academy of Science yesterday
DIR. Roux stated that the bacillus had
been isolated and serum made from the
material used to inoculate other cana
roes.
The inoculated birds, we are told, were
in this way rendered comparatively i'm
mune against the attacks of the fever
bringing codex, while those that had not
been inoculated suffered severely when
attacked This is important say the doc
tors, particularly as the marsh fever
from which the canary suffers Is said to
affect mankind. But is there really any
excuse for making such experiments on
the unfortunate birds?
