Lawyer Scored on Judge

Lord Mansfield received a hard set
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house OF lords-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to trust estate. In the course
of his argument he had frequent oc-
casion to use the word Curator" al
ways pronouncing it In the manner
approved in the Scottish courts; that
is, with the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the ears of Lord
Mansfield, who, though a Scotsman
by birth. had taken pains to become
Anglicized At last he broke out:
"Mr. Erskine, we are In the habit in
this country Of saying curator. follow
ing the analogy OF the Latin. in which.
as you are doubtless aware. the PEN
ultimate syllable is long"
Il thank your lordship very much. .
returned Erskine, I'VE are weak
enough in Scotland to think that In
pronouncing the word curator we are
following the analogy Of the English
language; but / need scarcely say that
/ bow with pleasure to the opinion of
so learned senator as your lord
ship."-Wm. s. Walsh in the SUN

The main law governing

The main law governing products
after all, is supply and demand.
The experience of every year proves
this. One year potatoes may be
worth so cents a hundred pounds and
the next year two dollars. This is
especially in evidence with like crops,
which may be over or under produced
as to supply, either because of exces-
sive planting or lack of planting, or
because of sectional crop failures
through drouth or other cause. But
supply and demand must always be
taken into consideration. There are
other products more staple, now that
the popualtion has become sufficient
ly large to create continuous and ever
increasing demand Meat and grain
supplies are principal among these,
while eggs and dairy products may
also be mentioned. Foreign markets
and foreign consumption of our pro-
ducts must also be looked after as
very important matters. So greatly
did our country depend upon exports
twenty years ago that the mere mat.
ter of tariff brought about an almost
instantaneous change from nation
wide panic to a period of prosperity
that has remained unbroken up to the
present. What the late change in the
tariff will do remains to be shown.

OF late several novels have been
written in which the soulless man was
a character. This was a being not
born in the usual way, but created
chemically or by some process of evo-
luton. Being without soul, his main
characteristic was hatred, not only for
everyone and everything. but for him.

would go far to prove that animal life
is much along the same lines, wheth-
er referring to our noble selves or
many of the things we pet and feed,
only to slaughter and eat. Were we
to study animals in christian spirit.
we would observe much that is pa
thetic, many noble traits, much evil
deuce of both brain and soul. To the
man who also has a soul, there can
not come much consolation of con-
science over the murder of some
harmless creature in the full enjoy
ment of life. for the satisfaction of
his villainous stomach. And educated,
uplifted, christianized man claims this
as his divine right Divine right!
Bah! Few animate are so degraded ss

The contention being made BY
American women who have incomes
within the income tax law, that they
will not pay income taxes because
they are not allowed to VOTE is, from
many points of view well taken, and
while it is not likely that it will hinge
with the court decisions, it revives
one of the strongest arguments there
has ever been for equal suffrage.

Runninu Ahead,

II Is easy to miss Gods plans by
hurrying after them too fast. A
business man, on his way from his
suburban home to his office. was very
desirous OF seeing another man on an
important matter; and he knew that
that man was likely to be on a Ger.
tain ferry boat. Hurrying for the
boat lest he miss his man, he was
stopped on his way by the man him.
self, who had been quietly waiting for
him. His eagerness to catch that
boat was carrying him past the very
man he wanted to see. Our eagerness
to work out Gods plans doubtless
often makes 1t difficult for him to
keep us in touch with those plans
It is sometimes duty to move
swiftly; but even then let us be
sensitiYely alert that our swiftness
shall not cause US to miss the goal
that God has set.

wears a long, sad face and murmurs
ever and anon that the worst is yet to

world may grow pale and weep and
shudder. He Just loves to show us a
good time.
The way the New Year prophet
makes good on his predictions is to
promise every kind of bad luck there
is, from famine to earthquake. and
from plague to war. As this globe OF
ours has been enjoying a steady diet OF
these things since the year one. the
