TONG TIME, IS DEFINED
Remark of Governor Of North Caro-
lima to Governor of South Caro-
lima Brought Into Court.

The oft-quoted remark of the Gov
ernor Of North Carolina to the Gov
ernor of South Carolina has at last
been brought into court, carefully
construed, and found not to be so
long as some other times. 1t is prob
able that 1t was the exceeding
droughtiness of the interval which
made It seem long. In q prosecution
for the Illegal sale of whisky in Ala
bama, a witness testified that he had
bought pint Of liquor Of the &C
cused "a short time" before the grand
Jury returned the Indictment against
him. 1t was objected that this evil
dence did not show that the prose-
cution had been begun within IL
months after the sale Of the whisky.
the time limited by statute for begin
ming a prosecution. In discussing
this objection, the Supreme court, in
Wilson versus State, IS Southern
Reporter, ia, after holding that "a
short time" might be taken in the con-
nection in which 1t was used to re-
fer to a period less than IL months,
said, by way Of illustration: "The
expression "a long time would refer
to a very different period of duration
and have a widely different meaning
in measuring time when used by an
archaeologist having reference to the
period of existence of the Egyptian
pyramids, than when used by Caro-
lima Governors with reference to the
time between drinks" The court
may be right, but probably the Gov
ernor of North Carolina measured
time as recommended by the poet
who said: 1--WE live - in feelings,
not In figures on the dial."-Colliers'.

Convenient Shoe Horns,

A problem which has agitated the
feminine mind for some time has been
successfully solved at last. A way In
which women may reach their feet un-
aided, even 'iough corset I'D, comes to
relieve those who are overburdened
with obesity. How is this feat accom-
plished? It's simple II one possesses
one of the new shoe horns which have
three-foot wooden handle attached
to the horn. This novelty is imported,
and though the price may seem high,
the relief purchased with one of these
toilet accessories is certainly worth
the price.
