Motor Cars and Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes, flies and gnats of every
description are said to be more runner
GUS in Paris this year than ever be-
fore. 1t has become veritable inva-
sion. The explanation usually Civ
en- is that the swallows are much fewer
this summer, and also that the
ubiquitous sparrow is notably on the
decrease. Nobody can find a reason
for the .desertion of the swallows, but
the reason of the scarcity of spar
rows is not far to seek. The enemy
is mechanical traction, which is sup
planting the use of the horse. Before
long, horses will practically have dis
appeared in Paris, and when their
nosebags go there will disappear one
of the principle staples of food for the
Paris ''pierrot," who is taking wing for
the country in search of the grains Of
oats and barley once so plentiful on
the boulevards and avenues.

The Love in Fiction and Life.

A periodical devoted to the drama
pleads for plays based on some emo

a scribbler of the dead walls Of Pom

1t was evident that the county attor-
ney was misinformed as to the dis
position of the Cleaves case and that
he intended to use both Cleaves and
White alike.
Counsel insisted that if Asa A. Rich
ardson was a bungler in the matter
of the White Indictment he was an
honest bungler. If Mr.. Richardson
actually intended to have those two
men stand equal what he did in fur
therance of that purpose was not a
corrupt act. His remark to Chief
Stone of the Biddeford police "if you
indiet White / shall indict Cleaves,"
was not evidence of corrupt purpose
but of fair dealing towards two neigh

If all incompetent officials were to be
removed the Legislature would not

into another year.
Attorney General Pattangall, in
closing for the State, urged the con-
vention to bear in mind that although
the paragraph concerning the White
case was the only one presented by
counsel, any evidence bearing upon
that case in other matters presented
was to be considered. The gist of the
charge was not whether a paper pur-
porting to be an indictment was sub
stituted for an indictment or whether
an unsigned indictment was filed, but
whether or not there was a corrupt
purpose on the part of the county at
torney.
The matter of an unsigned indict-
ment was no more of an offence than
an error in pleading, the attorney gen
eral argued. The evidence shows that
the county attorney, although claiming
to be in favor of vigorously enforcing
the prohibitory law, made no effort at
disturbing Mr.. White, who was car
