AdVrtiins in Nature

A hen is not supposed to have
much common sense or tact, yet
every time she lays an ege she
cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got a lot Of
intellect to show, but none the less
most ROSTERS have enough sense to
crow.
The mule, the most despised OF
beasts, has a persistent way OF let
ting people know he's round by his
insistent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz;
bulls below, and cows moo, and
watch dogs bark, and eanders quack,
and doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks; pigs squeal, and robins
sing, and even serpents know
enough to hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
that Nature could devise, will often
stop and hesitate before he'll adver-

A rather unusual case affecting
the liquor business has just been
passed upon by the U. S. supreme
court on appeal from the supreme
court of Nebraska. A law was re-
Gently passed in Nebraska making
saloon keepers liable for damages
resulting from the sale of liquor.
Under this law, Mrs. Buleer Of
Nebraska City brought suit against
a saloonkeeper Of that city for
damages for her husband becom-
ine an habitual drunkard. She
was given judgment for $4,000.
The saloonkeeper appealed to the
state supreme court, where the
law was held valid and the judg-
ment was affirmed. and he then
appealed to t h e u. S. supreme
court. The U. S. supreme court
held that there is no constitutional
objection to a law making saloon
keepers liable for damages result
ink from the sale Of liquor, and
dismissed the appeal.-Newark

heads an excellent bill of above the

Fatty, with wife, mother-in-law and

boxes, bags and bundles, goes for an
outing at Santa Catalina Island. On
the steamer he is badly smitten. Mabel
is travelling with the parental neces-

with the old duck flirting with the
