RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.
The Seal That Is So Often Used On
LEGAL Documents.

The Seal That Is So Often Used On
Legal Documents.
A most absurd thing connected with
legal business Is the little piece Of red.
green or blue paper or daub Of sealing
wax which we often place at the end
Of q signature to deed. will or other
important document.
1t is a very small thing in size. but
one to which a great deal Of impor.
tauce is frequently given. It is a relic
Of antiquity, and no plausible excuse
can be invented for continuing its use.
Some of the more progressive states
have practically abolished it's use by
legislation. which deprives It Of any
technical legal significance. In others.
however. it is still used with all Sc
robustness and solemnity, and an al.
most magical value is given to It BY
dignined judges that Is little less than
ridiculous.
A man died years ago leaving part
Of his estate to another to enjoy while
he lived, with the privilege Of devising
It at his death to others whom he
might select by writing under his
hand and seal" A writing was exc.
cuted 30 devising the property. but 4
was contested by others claiming the
property upon the technical ground
that the paper contained no seal after
the signature and the devise was
therefore void.
A wise Philadelphia judge closely
scrutinized the signature and after
carefully listening to the arguments
Of lawyers decided that at the end Of
the signature there was an extra
scroll or flourish made with the pen
with which the signature was made
and that this was sufficient In law to
constitute seal-Case and Comment.

To Issue New Post Card.

A card slightly smaller and Of
different shape than the old ones is
the new No. 5 postal card which has
been issued by the postoftice depart
ment. The department has discon-
tinued the issue of postal cards in
the ~ and *" sizes and repliced
them with the new card of different
shape and resplendent with red ink.

poses," the size, 315 inches, makes it
available for filing in most standard
cabinets and patent files. Th.z card
cam be secured in sheets of eighteen
by persons or firms who desire to
have them printed.
The new cards have not bsken re-
ceived at the local Office and will
not be available until another order

Der that the official card supplied

The Peacemaker.

Two neighbors had an ancient
fued. They banded language vain
and rude, and threw dead cats across
the fence, and seemed to sidestep
common sense. One day they passed
from words to blows; one neighbor
smote the others nose, and chunks
of rocks began to swirl, and soon the
air was full of fur. Then I stepped
in with kindly smile and babe them
cease this work of guile. Let dogs
delight, my friends" I said, "to paw
around and raise Old Ned. Let
crocodiles and tigers fight, let wasps
and anacondas blight, but it is wrong
for you galoots to seek the level Of
the brutes." Then both the scrap
pers turned on me and soaked me
where my vitals be- They BACKED
my eyes and MANNED my shin, they
kicked me roundly in the neck, and
hit my nose and knocked it in; and
when they saw l was a wreck, they
went off arm in arm to buy some
lemonade, milk, or rye. l still stand
! up for balmy peace; l know that it's
as slick as grease. The white wing
ed dove on land or sea, is all that's
cracked up to be. But after this
when neighbors fight, I'll let them
fuss around all night; and if rebukes
by me are thrown I'll send them in
by telephone.-Walt Mason. S

The Old Swimming Hole.

The swimming hole is the center
of innumerable ancient practices,
handed down, SO far as anybody
knows, from troglodyte times. Re-
member how some kid was always
on hand to clap two stones together
under water when you dived, so that
the vibration would hurt your ear
drums? Remember, too, how you
would come up spluttering and blind
ly splash about trying to find the Gull
prit-usually without success?
Then there was always the mean
boys who threw mud on you when
ever you started to come out, and
so made you go back in again. 1t
made no difference if you were due
at home to finish up the chores.
Your pleading, Jaw, fellers, quit
that and femme co." never had any
effect.
The mud slide was always a great
adjunct to swimmin' hole. A sandy
beach was all right in its way. But
it couldn't furnish any attraction
equal to tobogganing down the slide
and disappearing into the water with
splash. There always were-and
of course, there are today-natura
heroes of the water-fellows who
could dive and bring up mud anc
could swim "overhand" and "sailol
fashion" in addition to the usua
dog fashion, and, best of all, coulc
part hair" That hair parting really
was an accomplishment.

NV WheelbarrOW.

My trusty wheelbarrow is long and
it's narrow, it's painted a beautiful
delicate green; it's strong and it's
handy; it's simply dandy-a bet
ter wheelbarrow l never have seen.
With JOY that abiding take my wife
riding, she climbs in the barrow, l
wheel her around; and motorists
guy me, while joy-riding by me, but
little l care for their laughter and
sound. My good old wheelbarrow
goes straight as an arrow, push it
before with jubliant feet; whatever
twas made for, it's mine, and it's
paid for; and so l don't envy the
autos l meet. Id rather go Wheel
ing my barrow and feeling my raj
ment grow moist with rich, honest
sweat, than ride in a carriage, like
groom to his marriage, and have the
sad knowledge that l was in debt
OF all the worlds curses there's
nothing that is worse than going in
debt for the things we don't need,
so blithe as a sparrow l push my
Wheelbarrow-keep tab on my mo-
tons get onto my speed!-Walt

A woeful tale is waited Chica-

Part of the tale is told in a let

begin with the statement that
Charley is coming home, and
then goes on:
Believe me, the Wisconsin
woods are no place for quiet,
peace-loving baseball secretary,

And then the letter goes on to
repeat that Charley is coming
home.
1t appears that Charley didn't
know very much about hunting,
but was willing to take chance
at anything once So he borrow

and went bravely forth to kill a

He got lost, and while trying to
get his bearings, came suddenly

New York, Jan. q. - William

stood: Barnes %, Wadsworth 8, Hea-
cock 4. Barnes did not vote. Lloyd
c. Griscom, chairman of the New York
republican county committee, who led
the fight in this city for Roosevelt
against Barnes last fall, moved that
the vote be made unanimous, and 1t
was DONE
