MUCH VALUE IN DIscoNTENT

Benjamin Franklin.

Don't keep your expenses down to

This is the advice given by San
Franciscan who has made good And
why not? 1t seems heresy, but it is
not, whom you come to think it over.

ANIMAL THAT NEVER DRINKS
Not Drop Ever Passes the Brazilian
Porcupine's Lips-Lives ON
Bark and Leaves.

An animal that never drinks has ar.
rived In London. Undoubtedly it is
the first and only one, and all London
is rushing to see it. Naturally such a
curiosity is confined in the zoo.
"Wot hun'appy beast it is! No
wonderits bristles stick out like that"
remarks a man who has just drawn
the back of his hand across his mouth.
e do look drier than me Sunday
at assented his companion.
Temperance advocates use the new
conner to point moral and adorn a
tale. Behold the lesson that he
teacheth. Never drop passes his
lips Would that there were men in
London that could say as much!"
1t remains to be seen whether this
Brazilian tree porcupine will take to
drink now that he has been separated
from his South American habitat and
brought to the gloomy and chill pur-
lieus OF London. If he does demand
drink, what will he choose? Maybe
some of the curious visitors will sur
reptitiously ply him with little ale
or gin or some other London beverage
to see it's effect upon an animal that
has never had a drop of anything to
drink.
In his native Brazil this animal
trees, and the natives are very fond
of its flesh. 1t has prchensile tail,
which serves as Il fifth hand.

SUPREME COURT.
Verdict Expected, Wednesday, in Case
OF Cole VS.. Pierce.

The case of Cole VS.. Pierce was con-
tinued, Tuesday, in the supreme court.
The first witness called was Arthur
Nfckerson, who. assisted by Attorney
Williamson, figured out the exact
measurements of the hay space in the
barn and approximately the number
of tons the same would hold. Charles
j. Cole, the defendant, who was on
the stand, Monday, was recalled. Tues
day morning, by the attorney for the
defence. Witness testified as to the
number of acres he had ploughed and
re-seeded while living on the farm.
and also as to the manner in which
said farm had been fortified. Wit
ness further stated that the good land
that he had fertilized cut from two
to three tons of hay to the acre. and
that the poor grass land would av-
erage from three-quarters of a ton to
n ton to the acre.
In 1905, 1906 and 1907 defendant
thought that the farm produced good
hay crops, and that in the year 1907.
80 tons of hay We're cut on about 20
acres of moving fields. 1t was also
brought out in direct examination that
witness never stated to Richard
Pierce, son of plaintiff, that the farm
cut 80 tons of hay, merely from the
fact that no mention was made of the
amount of hay at the time plaintiff
first talked with witness in regard
| to the sale of the farm.
Witness. when cross examined by
Attorney williamson as to why he sold
| his farm stated that it was because
! of the fact that his folks had been
! frightened on account of the recent
/ Hackett murder, and the fact that he
/ himself was not in the best of health.
When further cross examined by at
torneY for the plaintiff, witness stated
that he did not have to mention the
number of tons of hay the farm pro-
duced or mention any other form of
productiveness as the farm would
speak for itself in that line. When
asked if he told Pierce how many tons
of hay there were in the barn, he re-
piled with much emphasis, No" but
that he told Pierce, the plaintiff, that
he could judge for himself as to the
amount.
In direct testimony defendant said
that Pierce made no complaint to him
about the shortage in the hay until
it was time for the last payment to
be made on the farm, which was in
the month of June, 1908. Testimony OF
defendant differed somewhat from the
testimony given by him at the last
trial before the superior court After
recalling few witnesses for minor
questions in rehuttal both sides rested
their cases.
Attorney Heselton occupied an houi
in summing up his case to the jury
i'm which argument he put the facts
that he had attempted to prove be-
fore the panel in clear manner Fol
lowing him came Attorney Williams N
for the plaintiff. who occupied but
half an hour in his argument. Justice
i Smear did not charge the jury but viii
instruct that body Wednesday morn
ing. on the different points Of the law
following which the jury viii retire

set down the figures fer the different
