In London and throughout the tight
little island the words up" aud
down have a peculiar significance
IN going to London from any part of
England you 20 up" In travelling in
any direction from the capital you go
down" SO in London itself every
thing goes up" if it goes in the direc-
ton Of the bank-that is, the Bank Of
England-and going from that center
toward any of the points of the com
pass is to go down"
The word bank which is not only
always spelled with capital "B,' but
is always uttered with an impressive
ness that suggests an initial letter of
the largest type, may be said to be in
sense interchangeable with city, a
term of equal dignity and value in the
eyes of Englishmen and likewise in
variably adorned with u capital &C."
The city does not mean London by
any means. 1t means certain limited
section of London, the part whe.s
business is mainly carried on as<l
where the great financial institutions
stand

field who are in a deadlock over the
appointment of the Rutland city H.
cense commissioners are no nearer
an agreement than they were two
weeks ago and local people are be
ginning to think that the city will
go dry
1t is argued that no two men will
be allowed to go against the vote of
the people but lawyers say that as
the judges are the only two men who
under the law, can appoint a COM
mission and there is no power on
earth to make two men agree if they
choose not to, the will of the people
may not be obeyed in Rutland's case.
The commissions of all the other
wet towns in the county are still held
up because Of the Rutland fight.

George Graham Vest once won
case for his client by a neat retort
To testify against Vests client there
was brought into court a certain wit
ness whose i'll favored c0untenan'e
matched his unsavory reputation in
the community The mans testimony
was most unfavorcOle to the defend
ant, and so, of course. Vest proceeded
to dscredit his story. AS the witness
was U.skempt and poorly clad, his
clothes hanging about him In innumer-
able folds and wrinkles. the counsel
for the opposing side endeavored in
their turn to make it appear that Vest
was making capital Of the poor ap-
pearance of the man. Mr.. Vest, Of
course, denied this allegation in the
course Of his closing remarks, adding:
Gentlemen of the jury, if that mans
face I'll him as well as his coat he
would be good looking man.
The jury returned u verdict for the
defendant.
