During the period on the is land he lived on fish, crabs and what ever other seafood that could be picked up along the shore.

 Why do shoes play such an i'm. horiani part In the aftermath of
 me marriage ceremony? Perhaps
 because the Jews of old confirmed
 sale by giving shoe or sandal
 to their customers. The Anglo.
 saxon used the shoe in somewhat
 similar way. The brides father
 gave her shoe to the bridegroom
 who tapped his wife-to-be on the
 head with it. this signifying sale and consequently his ownership of her. The prevalent custom of throwing shoes at the bridal couple IS therefore remnant of an old peasant practice
 The wedding ring had it's origin away back in the time of Tubal Cain. and is distinctly pagan heritage. Tubal Cain. who made the first ring. had this idea in mind as expressed by an old treatise
 he form Of the ring being circular mat Is round without end. i'm. porteth thus much, that their mn. iual love and hearty affection should roundly flow from the one to the other as in circle. and that con. and forever" Rings have figured in premarriage rites from remote antiquity. and though il was the old custom for marriage rings to be worn by both sexes. the token of bondage which il seems to have represented caused the man to refuse to wear it.
 As il is today. every nation has it's own assortment of briday be. iefs and superstitions... whether Iiefs and superstitions. whether ring. or what Few of hem are of any importance in tn, ceremony and seldom do hey bear any influence except when he imaeination is given too loose T rein.

 Drunkenness is not an offense

 person to appear in public in B s.s-r of intoxication or drunkenness" :s invalid.
 This important finding of Stale. wide interest was handed down ry 1 Common Pleas Judge Cromwell +. the case of James Hughes. who som. tune ago was arrested on the street and haled into police court on tE, charge of drunkenness. and upog trial fined under the ordinance r, ferred to.
 Hughes through his attorneys as pealed from the police court inde. ment. eontending that the ordinance upon which the charge of drunken ness was based is illegal.
 Judge Cromwell. in rendering his decision. points out that the statutes do not authorize city councils ta pass an ordinance making infox3- cation or drunkenness an offense. baa merely authorizes an ordinance prs- vlding for punishment of persons disturbing the good order and quie. by intoxication.
 It is not the simple act of intoyf. cation that may be made punishable. but only when such intoxiration r.. suits in disturbance of the good order and quiet of the city. Judge Cromwell says.
 It has been the practice of the no. lice In this city 10 hale from 1 .sn9 10 2,OO0 persons before the court on the simple charge of drunkenness every year, and in almost every ease followed.
 Hereafter, under Judge Brona- wells decision, it will be necess4r. to show dsorderly conduct in con. nection with drunkenness, Or if l. drunk" be incapable of nayieaarg he may be charged with obstrucffea the public way.

bias, 6023 Harper av. She was the

cago Law School.
Mrs. Tobias was injured June 26,
1913, as she was crossing the street
at Madison avenue and 61st street.
, ]. Zierer, the driver of the Daily News
wagon, had left his horse without a
weight. The horse ran away. The
aged woman was knocked down and
crushed by the wagon.
For six months she lowered be-
tween life and death, suffering ter
ribly. But, finally, weakened by the
handicap of age, she died.
While Mrs. Tobias lay on her
deathbed the claim agent of the Daily
News offered some small settlement.
Mr.. Tobias laughed at the mans Of
fer. ...
When the inquest was called fol-
lowing the death of Mrs. Tobias the
driver of the wagon was not present.
Deputy Coroner Gillespie demanded
to know the reason.
The News attorneys were rather
hesitant in their explanations. 1t was
evident that they didn't think the
case important enough to warrant
his presence.
The deputy coroner demanded that
the driver be produced in court. The
News attorneys fumed around, ex-
planning first that Zierer was such a
peculiar sort of fellow, always
moving around, never know where
to get hold of him"
Finally, however, they made the
admission that Zierer was still an
employe of the paper. The deputy

Mrs. Bartlett possessed remarkable
memory and was fond of telling of her
early life, which in some ways was
exceedingly interesting. When she was
only eight years old she began work in
the first cotton mill built in America.
This was at Webster; Mass, and the
founder of the factory was Samuel Stat
er. the pioneer cotton manufacturer of
the United States. Mrs. Bartlett could
recall the time when Mr.. Slater first
conceived the idea of building a mill in
this country and how he went over to
England, where he learned his trade, Wis
tied his old factory there, and made
plans for a similar building in Massa-
chusetts.
