In one of the interior counties OF
Maine Il case was called that had long
been in litigation. The chief Justice
who at that time was plain Judge Pc

the suit longer in court. and advised
the parties to refer the matter. After
due deliberation they assented. agree
ing to refer the case to three honest
men. With a grave smile. In perfect
keeping with the judicial dignity, Judge
Peters said that the case involved GER
tain legal points which would require
one OF the referees, at least, to have
some knowledge Of law: therefore he
would suggest the propriety of their
selecting one lawyer and w honest

There are two things about San Juan

part OF Spanish America where there
are mountains or highlands. One is
the statue of Columbus. The other Is
the castle Of FL MORO. Most people OF
the United States are more familiar
with Moro castle in Havana. When
they hear there is another MORO Mt
Santiago in Cuba. and then another In
Porto Rico they wonder 1t means.
The explanation is quite simple. These
castles or citadels are located on pro-
tecting necks OF high land which domi-
nate the harhor entrances. FL Moro in
Spanish simply means 1.-The snout."
