Louis Felix, q lawyer, asked Justice
Gavegen in the supreme Court to-day
20 grant an injunction against the es-
tates Of Long Beach from depriving her
from the use of the tennis grounds ad-
joining the hotel at Long Beach.
Felix, who argued the motion in be-
half OF his wife, said that the tennis
grounds had been used by his wife AMI
other people at Long Beach since 1909.
This yea Il sign was posted stating that
n fee was to be charged, and also that
any one using the grounds would have
to wear tennis shoes. Felix claimed
that he is entirely excluded from the
use Of the grounds.
For the company II was contended
that the only persons who can now use
the grounds are the guests Of the own
ers of the hotel.
why Is this party excluded?' asked
Justice Gavegan.
Counsel said that II was done on ac-
count of the policy that was adopted
by he hotel management, but Felix
broke in to say that 1t was done be-
cause he had beaten William II. Rey-
nolds. the president OF the company.

Dreams and Deeds.

The dreamer turns from the tumult
dire,
And dwells in a world apart:
Yet he ever mourns with the vain desire
OF q weary and empty heart.
But his lamentations abruptly stop
When the wintry breezes blow,
And he finds there is wood he will have
to chop,
And it's time to be shoveling snow.
And it's good to be caught in the tingling
blast,
That says: "You shall strive or fall!''
To awaken from dreams of a futile past
And the joys We can ne'er recall.
The blood grows redder through every
drop,
With the quick, reviying glow,
When We face the wood that we've got
to chop,
Or get ready to shovel snow.
'Tis better to dare the tempests roar,
And the storms unyielding stress.
Than fan the ember and bar the door
And sigh for forgetfufness.
So send the blaze to the chimneytop,
And toll that the path may show
Which YOU fain would tread. There is
wood to chop,
And it's time to be shoveling snow.
