Lovewell was a candidate for sheriff and Collector of Mississippi county, before the primaries of March 30, 1910, and it was charged that Simonson caused to be published in the Luxora Commonwealth an ar ticle concerning him which was false and libelous. Lovewell sued for $5O,- 900 damages, and the jury awarded him judgement for $5,O00. A motion for a new trial was over-ruled, and an appeal taken.

JAPANESE EXHIBITS COST
 ONE-QUARTER MILLION

The cost of the Japanese exhibits at the San Diego Exposition is now estimated by S. Watarabe: who is in complete charge. at S250 ,U00. Some of the finest worries he has placed in gigantic case of carved cherry with inlaid wood which he values at Sl0,0O0. This stands in the center of the indus trial display in the Foreign and Do- nestle Arts building. A more typical display is that of the Japanses pa viion and tea gardens, placed in the rear of the Botanical gardens, over looking one of the canyons.
 The approach to the pavilion is over the Bridge of Long Life" spanning a shallow pool about which is dense copse of wistaria, hollywood, and cur lous little Japanese trees and ferns with an occasional bright splash of col or. The paths to the canyon are lin- ed with fragrant flowers and the open pavilion itself is a mass of floral dec oratlon. Some of the expert wood carvings of Japan appear here as well.
 The third of the Japanese exhibits is placed in the Isthmus and takes the form of a concession, introducing

PLACES MAN WITH COTTON
 IN EMBARRASSING SITUATION
State Law Requires Cotton in Coun- ties Where Weighers are Elected to be Weighed by Them or
 Owners are Liable.

Little Rock, Nov. 24.-In reversing and dismissing the case of G. w. Petty vs. c. l. Lyons, Polk circuit court, the Supreme Court has placed the man with cotton to be weighed in counties where weighers are elected, in an embarrassing position The state law requires the cotton in coun- ties where weighers are elected to be weighed by them or the owner is liable for a misdemeanor. The law also re- |quires the county weigher to use weights which have been approved by the county clerk, after this official has secured test weights from the of flee of the secretary of state. The Secretary of State cannot furnish such weights, hence the weigher can not secure them, yet the law requires all cotton in the county to be weighed by him.
 In the PettyLyons case, Lyons as county weigher weighed over 300 bales of cotton for Petty and claimed his fee of 10 cents per bale. Petty refused payment and suit was entered Petty claimed that the weights of Lyons were not accurate and wide variance was shown in weights when the cotton was shipped away.
 Evidence in the suit disclosed the fact that Lyons had applied to the county clerk for accurate weights,- and hte county official in turn asked Secretary of State Hodges for them being informed there were none to be supplied. The county clerk then borrowed tested weights from the county of Sevier and gave Lyons a scale of weights. The Supreme Court holds that Lyons did not properly weigh the Petty cotton and hence is not entitled to any fee. The court states that while Lyons is not to blame he is just the same an innocent offender.
 According to Secretary of State Hodges the governor supplied the state with a set of weights back in the 4O's but they were destroyed in the eos, and as the government no longer puts out weights of standard or other sizes, and as the legislature failed to make appropriation for the purchase of them. he is powerless to act. Attorney General Moose was consulted on the question and he in formed, the Secretary of State he could do nothing. Secretary Hodges made inquiries as to the cost of set of weights, and could find no concern willing to supply them for less than $2S00, and having nothing to spend for them anyway he let the matter drop.
 This does not settle the question of how the people in cotton weighing counties are going to get their cotton weighed by the county weigher, or to escape the fine if they fail to do so.

CHAPTER TX.

Thirty years of one way of living
becomes a habit-so much SO that it
is almost human impossibility to
adjust oneself to any other mode of
life. Mary Slade, living year after
year with Dan Slade, interested in his
work, watching him rise and succeed,
had come to think Of the man as only
another part of herself. With him
out of her life she felt as if a part
of her own body had vanished with
out which she was restless and i'll at
ease.
AS she sat in the little old cottage
where with Dan she started out on
married life. she experienced a feel
ing of detachment as If either this
were not the right place, but some
sort of inferior substitute, or as though
the real and vital part of herself were
absent
The room was just the same as it
was the day she and Dan had walked
out of it to take up their new life in
the handsome mansion in town. Not
a thing had been changed or disturbed.
The same crooked hatrack, with her
old knitted shawl dangling on one
hook, hung behind the door. The same
well-worn tides were carefully pinned
on the plush-upholstered chairs. The
same cheap little ornaments that so
delighted Mary's simple heart in the
old days still cluttered the mantel.
The same near-crystal crowded the
sideboard. The tablecloth remained
laid from meal to meal after the time
saving custom of middle-class fami-
lies.
Everything was the same but the
atmosphere of contentment that once
filled the room; everything the same
but Mary's happiness in her husbands
love. Outside the window the rose
bush Dan had helped her to plant still
nodded and blossomed In the sunshine
that poured in a food OF golden joy

MuskratS Worth More Than
Oysters.

1t sounds rather unbelievable TO state
that the humble muskrat is worth more
than the rather aristocratic oyster, or,
in other words, trapping muskrats is a
bigger industry financially than scoop
ing up oysters from their various beds
along our seacoast.
The muskrat is the most important
fur-bearing animal of North America,
and it must be remembered that there
are some extremely valuable furs in
this country. In one year Several years
ago) 1,500, 600 muskrat skins were. put
on the market, and THESE brought TO the
trappers, who sell at the bottom price,
of course, more than 81, 700, 900.
The largest share of muskrats are trap
ped along the Atlantic seaboard, and up
the tidewater streams of this coast in
Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware and
Connecticut OF course there are guam
titles OF muskrats inland all through the
country, around the Great Lakes and
along the rivers and their tributaries in
all parts of the United States and in
Canada.
But the most of these valuable little
animals are trapped along the coast OF
the Middle Atlantic States. In Doches'
ter county, Maryland, which consists in
great part of marshes, these marshes are
leased to trappers on 80 per cent. basis
Every year more than quarter of mil.
lion muskrats are trapped in the mashes
of this Maryland county.
Not only the fur of the muskrat i:
used, but the meat also, which finds g
local consumption and is shipped to Bal
timore and other cities.
1t is surprising to learn that the finan
cial returns from these little creature:
exceeds that of the oyster industry o
the same region. The fur of the blacE
muskrat commands the highest price
and in Dorchester county some of TIT
marshes yield fully half of this variety
