William Raymond Sill's regular vo- cation, in addition to decorating the lobby of the Broadway theater, is to put pieces in the paper about Lew Fields. For this he receives a salary said to be larger than-but whats the use.
 SilPs most notable achievement to date is bouncing baby from whom knowledge of his fathers ealing has been withheld thus far. The need of country air for any reputable off spring was impressed upon Sill by Mrs. Sill last summer, and one eve ming the head of the household tri- umphantly laid a formidable docu- ment in the lap of his fireside com panion

Sill promptly christened the estate Marshmellow Arms and began to cultivate.
 The last time he struck a balance sheet he rejoiced to learn that by his ardous toll he had raised a half-acre of pond lilies (yellow), six families of muskrats, and "scab" bullfrog that croaks only in the afternoon.

Walked to Parliament.

All members of parliament did not ride to London from their constituen cies in the old days. Mir. Barclay of Ury, who represented Kincardine- shire in the eighteenth century, al. ways walked the whole way, doing his 50 miles day with ease. Mara. thon runners may note that his re. freshment on the journey was bottle of port, poured into bowl and drunk of at a draught. George III took much interest in MT. Barclays achievements and said: q ought to be proud of my Scotch subjects, when my judges ride and my members of parliament walk to the metropolis. !" The former allusion was to Lord Monboddo, who always rode to town instead of driving, considering it un. manly ito sit on box drawn by brutes. ."-London Gazette.

COURT RULES ON INJUNCTION.
Martha Miller Permitted to Build a
Barn on Old Line Of
Property,

The ruling of Judge D. M. Anderson
OF Abba in the case of Augusta
Ludkig against Martha Miller,
ct al. permits the erection Of
the Miller barn on the lines
surveyed by Engineer Allen and which
the plaintiff alleges project on her
property. An Injunction was sought by
Mrs. Ludwig, restraining Mrs. Miller
from building the barn on the lines.
This was dissolved by the action of
Judge Anderson, who granted Mrs.
Miller the right to go on with the
building so far as the Allen line until
the final hearing Of the case. The con-
tention Of Mrs. Ludwig that the new
structure encroaches beyond the Allen
lines some four inches, leaves the mat
ter open for further litigation. as the
court does not take cognizance Of the
question as to fixing the Allen line in
the present injunction proceedings.
