LANE QUOTES LAW
Parent Unable to Authorize Sale
to Minor, Says Con-
troIIer Lane

Austin, Tex, Sept. 10. Con
troller Lane advises that he is in
receipt of a number of letters
from citizens throughout the
State calling his attention to the
fact that certain saloonkeepers
are violating the law by selling
intoxicating liquors to minors
upon receipt of written authority
from the parents of these minors
He SAID.
1t appears that many of the
saloonkeepers themselves are
under the impression that they
can legally sell intoxicating
liquors to minor when the said
minor brings along written au-
thority from his parents auth
orizing the saloonkeeper to make
the sale. This is an error as the
law absolutely prohibits the sale
or gift of intoxicating liquors,
either by the saloonkeeper him
self, or his agent, to any person
under the age Of II years under
any circumstances. and any liquor
dealer who sells, permits to be
sold or given intoxicating liquor
to a minor, does so at his own
risk.
There also seems to be an inn
preston among the saloonkeep-
ers that when a minor comes into
his saloon and attempts to pnr-
chase liquor and is required by
the saloonkeeper TO give his age
and in doing so he assures the
saloonkeeper that he is n years
of age, that when the sale is
made under these circumstances /
the saloonkeeper incurs no liabil-
lty. Such is not the law. The
law makes il the duty of the sa-
Ioonkeeper, whatever may be the
of the customer.
when there is any question of
ioubt as to his minority, to as
certain the truth about his age
before making the sale, and if
he saloonkeeper does make the
ale without taking this precau-
ion and it afterwards developed
hat he has sold to a minor. he :
ubjects his license to forfeiture.
A more strict observance of
his provision Of the law will
eep many liquor dealers out of
erious trouble in the conduct of
heir business. "

Before a certain investigation a
well-known Wall street firm was

and at least a score cf highly paid
clerks found themselves haunting the
employment agencies. Of these Miss

that they know a kiss must be given
for each berry plucked. and that the
ceremony is never complete until
every berry is of the branch.
There was once a common, though
mistaken belief that the mistletoe
grew on oak trees only, but that was
so far from true that the Druids. who
held the oak as absolutely sacred be-
cause they believed it to represent
the Ono Supreme God, deemed the
mistletoe doubly sacred II found on

LEGEND OF THE MIsTLEToE
Some Claim Goddesses Kissed All
Who Passed Under Plant ~ Sym
Dol Of Love.

(By e. r. GA1LLARD.)
According to Scandinavian mythol-
ogt. Loki (the god of evil) was the
sworn enemy Of Baldur (the god of
light, and tried by every means in his
power to kill him, but failed because
be was invulnerable to everything that
came from earth-air, fire. or water.
Loki, at last, conceived the idea that
the mistletoe, springing from neither.
would serve his purpose, and, having
an arrow made from that wood. he
helped Hodi (the blind god Of dark
ness), to aim it, and Baldur fell dead
shot through the heart.
All the gods and godesses prayed
for his restoration to life, and when
the prayer was granted it was de-
creed that the mistletoe should never
more have power to do harm unless
1t touched the earth. and the goddess
OF love was appointed to guard 1t.
Some legends claim that the god
dess kissed all who passed under the
plant as token that it was no long
or weapon Of death. but a symbol Of
love, while others assert that she ex-
acted kiss from each as a propitia-
ton, or the bough should be allowed
to work harm.
Another reason for the kissing
privilege conferred by the plant is
said to be that a lovely maiden pre-
ferred death to the kisses Of an old
monk who pursued her. and her pray
ers for deliverance were answered by
transforming her into a mistletoe
branch and placing her in a tree.
The monk waited for her return,
but rather than that, she clasped the
tree and remained clinging to it, leav-
ing the waiting monk to kiss whom
ever he could catch.
The custom of kissing beneath
the mistletoe" is 50 old that no one
knows when or how 1t originated;
but when young people are found Sc

Within the past six months the his

of the riots, In their successive

began with the demand Of two-thirds
of the teachers, who were receiving
only a pound and half a month
wages, to be raised nearer the level Of
the other third, who were getting
twenty and thirty pounds. The stu
