A. w. Davis, who has been for
a number of years one Of the most
trusted and reliable assistants in the
o. X. &. N. Railway department
and who lately has been conduct.
ing the Office for that company in
St. Johns, has become associated
with that we'll known and hustling
real estate man, J. S. Mckinney.
An Office will be opened up in the
fine room occupied by the Portland
General Electric Co. on Jersey
street. The new firm will make a
strong team. Councilman Davis
has ever been a booster and a
pusher for St. Johns. and anything
he could do to further its interests
was cheerfully and enthusiastically
done. Thoroughly reliable in every
respect, no man need fear that he
will get the worst of II" in any
realty deal he may make through
Mr.. Davis, and we know that he
would rather lose a sale than make
one through misrepresentation or
distortion of facts. Mr.. Mckinney
has long been a leading and most
successful local realty man. OF an
optimistic nature, the world and the
situation always looks cheerful to
Gerry" Even in the dullest
months he is there with "the
goods" and if any one can make
sale Mckinney can. Therefore,
the combination of these two St.
Johns pushers means that the realty
business in St. Johns will take on
an impetus and energy such as 1t
has not known for some time. A
fine list Of property has been listed,
and bargains galore may be found
at their establishment when they
are ready to do business together,
which will be about February Ist.
Here's hoping that the new firm
will make a grand success Of the
business. and we have no doubt but
that such will prove to be the case.

should actually have run around the
world. he sent word that all the towns
on the way from Marseilles to Paris

As result the journey to Paris was
march Of triumph. Children sang

ments of the Swiss guard met the
shah's representative and escorted him
to a magnificent suit in the old palace
of the Tuileries. Louis sent no less
a person than the Due de Richelleu to
welcome the potentate and invite him
out to Versailles to special reception
In the hall of mirrors.
The ambassador presented himself

THE JURY DISAGREED.
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.

A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.
An old time story Of the Hne points
Of law and equity which arose In car.
rying out an amicabie contract In told
In the Philadelphia Record. There
were four brothers who had inherited
a storage warehouse from their father.
He had divided tho property equally
among them.
Among the appurtcnances was cat
"A nne animal. excellent for housing.
This. too. was divided. tho eldest
brother owning the right front quar-.
ter. the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters.
Now. unfortunately. the cat In one
Of Its nocturnal prowls injured tho
right front paw. and the eldest
brother attended 20 that portion Of his
property by binding the injured men,
Der with \ CREASED rag.
The cat thankful for this relief TO
It's suferings. went TO sleep content
edly before the fire. but In the midst
or It's siumbers a falling coal ignited
the rag. and the animal. bowling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and. coming In contact with some com.
bustibles. set the building on nre.
When the loss came TO be hgured
out the three younger brothers wished
TO throw Il all upon the eldest on tho
ground that had he not tied up his
part Of the eat with the infiammable
rag the building would not have been
destroyed.
He. on the contrary. contended that
had the cat only been possessed Of the
front right paw-his property-it
would have stood still and burned TO
death. II was the three other paws
that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case until
they died. but they never reached an
agreement
