QUEER LAWS.
Justice Tempered With Many
Things Besides Mercy.

Do you know that the law will get after
you hot-footed if YOU lead a bear about
in Connecticut? Do you know that, no
matter how generously YOU may be in
clined. YOU cannot give away cigarettes in
Wisconsin,: that YOU cannot drink beer III
ccrta n railway cars in Illinois,? Do YOU
know that it is absolutely, utterly and
entirely against the law to sing only part
of the Star Spansled Banner in In
dana? Yet. do YOU know that if YOU
shoot and kill man across the state Inc
between .Nlabama and Georgia, you
standing in Alabama and the victim in
Georgia. there is no law 20 hold YOU for
murder?
All this sounds very strange. but every
statement is fact backed by enactment.
and how simple American citizen Jared

cral states is deftly and delightfully."- re-
lated in our next Sunday Magazine by
Henry kitchell Webster, the Well known
novel st. in his article entitled The Mai
nStv OF the Laws.
The narrative IS set forth in the form
of fiction-that is, it follows the amazing
vic'ssttudes of this ingenious Young
American who had always striven his ut
most 10 abide by the laws. Indeed, when
ever a state leg stature city council
passed ii law he made il his business to
regulate his conduct thereby. But this
did not save him when he started on his
travels lie was afoul of the law al every
turn.
Finally. becoming SO eXasperated ut the
manner in which he had been haraSsed
he deliberately shot ard killed a man.
SAYING. Now you've really got some
thing to arrest me for" But. bless your
heart. instead OF holding him for cold

UnfaVorable weather has afflicted the
insects with ''dro0press. with the result
that il is much easier 10 swat them.
The larger number of flies destroyed in
