there were various delicacies in the
way of candy, sandwiches, ice cream,
and other things for a cent each. Be-

performances for which a cent was

During the evening a short pro

the most e~nterprising of the Sunday
school. Its enrolment of fifty or more
is growing and the work they do in

Laws of 1909, which are a part of
the game law OF the state. Section
"A. prohibits hunting dogs from run
ming at large in the fields during the

tricks with words, and make Ian
guage mean what it doesn't say, and
say what it doesn't mean.
A corporation lawyer that is worth
his salt to his boss can pick word
out of the dictionary, show it to you,
let you smell it, taste it and feel it
and then turn it inside out and show
you that it isn't a word at all, but a
pink guinea pig or blue monkey.

words in franchise ordinance mean
what the men who hired the lawyers
don't want them to mean.
And if the same lawyers had been
hired by the city have no doubt at
all that they would have proven just
as conclusively that the same words
have an entirely different meaning.
By this dexterity in juggling words
and making the law mean anything
or nothing, these learned gentry
known as lawyers have succeeded in
making the people of this country
laugh at both lawyers and the law.

Now I'm going to tell you what it's
all about.
In the ordinance passed by eoun-
Gil Feb. 20, 1899, granting a telephone
franchise to what is now known as
the tunnel company, this provision
for forfeiture was made:
"And if said company, its success
ors and assigns, shall fail to con-
struct, equip and install a telephone
system under the terms of the ordi-
nance to said company of February
20, 1899, adequate for the service of
10000 subscribers prior to June 1,
1911, or, if at any time after said June
1, 1911, said company, it's success
ors and assigns, shall not have in
operation or shall cease to operate
telephone system serving 10000 bona
fide subscribers, than and in each
case said company, its successors and
assigns, shall also forfeit to the city,
or to any icensee or grantee of the
city designated or authorized by the
city for this purpose), all rights ac-
CURED under said ordinance of Feb
ruary 20, 1899, together with it's plant
and equipment for telephone pur-
poses, ETC."
Now, being human being and not
lawyer, YOU would naturally think
that that provision in the ordinance
means what it says; and that if the
automatic wasn't actually serving
10000 bona fide subscribers at the
time required, the plant of the COM
pany, and all its rights under the
ordinance, were forfeited to the city.
