dog It is not sufficient to prove that
the dog caused the accident and that
the defendant is the owner. To sue

aware Of fits dangerous tendency. It
may come out IN evidence that the

plover, one comes to the wonderful
ruin OF Peyensey castle, the ground
upon which 1t stands having history
extending back for close upon 1000
years. 1t Is pretty certain that the
walls which are Of Roman construc-
tion, encompass the spot where stood
the city OF Anderida, one Of the nine
great fortresses which guarded the
southern shore.
Until the thirteenth century the sea
encroached so far inland that ships
rode at anchor beneath Its walls. I'm
der the shadow OF the castle is the old
Mint house, under whose roof Edward
VI. has slept. About five miles away,
on clear day, can be seen the mellow
brick ruins OF the castle Of Hurstmon-
ceau, one of the finest specimens of
medieval brick ruins in England, and
dating from the reign Of Henry vi.
Besides its advantageous proximity
to these historical spots Bexhill has
an extraordinary charm and individ-
uality of its own, quite unlike most
south coast seaside places.

Value Of a Laugh.

When you go to visit the sick do
not forget that good laugh is one Of
the best tonics and a bit Of humorous
gossip or piquant saying is better
than any drugs. Make the invalid
smile If you cannot start up laugh,
but make your visit short; remember
that too much of good thing is as
bad as too little.

NO SHEAVES NEEDED TO WIN
BIG PRIZE

Because of rains in North Dokota
and Minnesota during the wheat har-
vest, the managers of the Northwestern
Products Exposition have decided not
to require farmers to send sheaves OF
their wheat with their five bushels OF
threshed grain to compete for the $5,-
900 prize to be awarded in Mime
apolis in November.
The rain made it almost impossible
for farmers to secure good sheaves and
in some places they could not have
secured sheaves at all unless they had
pulled the grain before it was ripe.
This caused the exposition people to
waive the sheaf requirement.
All that is necessary now to enter
the contest for the big prize is to send
five bushels of threshed grain to the
exposition, Minneapolis. An application
and entry blank will be sent free on
request to anyone desiring to enter and
there will be no fee Of any kind asked
or received.
