verdict in party wall suit.

In deciding a suit of w. W. Gavitt
against the Schick mattress facotry,
over a boundary line between pieces
of Kansas avenue property, Judge
Dana this morning refused to order
the vacation of a strip of ground,
eight inches in width, on which a par
tition wall between buildings occupied
by the two litigants encroached. The
wall stood on land belonging to the
plaintiff but, the court held, it could
not be in equity ordered removed after
having been recognized and used as
partition wall. On the same property,
however, where the continuation of
the wall encroached distance of
seven feet on the plaintiffs side of the
line the court ordered the wall torn

THE first thing is to lather, of course.
That's as easy as rolling off log.
This is something like comfort, this is.

Mr.. Bowser decided to put on plenty
of lather- He put it on his chin,
cheeks, nose, forehead, ears and
throat, and more or less fell on the
carpet When he had lathered until
both arms ached, and no more would
stick to him, he picked up the razor
and chuckled:

way and move it gently down A
child three years old could do that.

Mr.. Bowser gave jump and at the

Her words brought Mr.. Bowser to
himself. He turned back, beckoned
for her to follow, and as they entered
the bedroom he silently pointed. The
razor lay on the floor, the bowl was
broken in three pieces, and there was
lather everywhere.
'Wel?' she queried, as she picked
up three towels and placed two chairs
on their legs again.
''WOmani' he hOarSely whispered,
this is too much!''

Sure. Done! Look at mel"
Yes, but you tried to shave your

numbered.
But you have no beard" she pro-
tested.
And you have never said anything
about it until now!'

you'd have been trying to cut your
hair with a can-opener"'
Mr.. Bowser came downstairs and
brushed past her and went over to the
BARRIERS. After he had been greeted

reply.

DIVORCE AND kLIMONy
Both Are Granted to a Deserted Wife
by Judge Dana.

Testifying that the last time she saw
her husband was last January in the
Usage county court house, in Lyndon,
where he had been hailed to answer a
charge of wife desertion, and that he
is now in the state refOrmatOry at
Hutchinson, Mrs. ESsie r. Coon asked
the first division of the district court
this morning for a divorce, and got it.
George r. Coon left her five years ago,
she said, and when he turned up she
had him arrested. Judge A. w. Dana
awarded her custody of the two chill
dren and an allowance of s25 a
month alimony.

mony for $4,000, you know declared
the court after he had asked Mrs
Coon what her prospect of collecting

He lathered away some more. Then
examined both sides and the edge and
the back. Then he laid the flat of the
blade on his chin and smiled sweetly
and whispered:

first time. I'll just get it by degrees
That's the way to do it. No barber

18th OF last month a sewing machine
agent came to our home and induced
Lay daughter to buy machine. He
allowed her $19 for the~one she had.
On this account my daughter bought
the machine. He brought it to our
house and took hers along with him.
Yesterday my daughter went to the

for the machine. She was informed
that the company could only allow
$14 on her machine. Now is this

LAUGHTER.-Once upon a time I
fell from a wagon and bumped the
ground with my head, and l thought
two girls who witnessed it would die
laughing. After 1 got around to it
laughed, too, just to please them. 1t
was about the funniest thing, but I
feel sure the sensation was far from
being funny.
Had broken my neck they might
have laughed just the same and might
have been offended if 1 had not joined
in. l wonder if they would laugh if
they hit the ground a hard smack
with their heads, judge auber nit.
If the world would be as we would
like it it would be filed with laughs
and without tear, but as it is some
have cause for merry laughter while
some have cause to shed bitter tears.

MEANING CHRISTIANITY?-The
most ridiculous and especially I'M
timely article in my mind that has
ever appeared in The Day Book is
the one signed ga Resurrectionist."
The sentence that strikes me as
being particularly idiotic is this:
without it nations fall to decay,
kingdoms crumble to dust, the sun
forgets to shine" 1t seems to me, and
l do not speak with feeling of con-
tempt, that just the opposite is the
truth.
Is GA Resurrectionist" so near
sighted or so stupid that he fails to
see what the Christian nations of
Europe are today undergoing? Does
he fail to see the Christian blood
spilled by other Christians overflow
ing the entire continent? Does he
fail to see that it is a Christian ma
ton which is devastating millions of
homes, churches, schools and public
buildings? To all outward appear
ances his sentence should read not
without it" but with it nations fall
to decay, kingdoms crumble into dust
and the sun forgets to shine"
That one religion of which a re-
surrectionist speaks so highly is now
for the most part represented by a
demoniacal, brutal, Incorporate, soul
destroying, blood-thirsty race. But
the most puzzling circumstance of
the whole affair is that they are not
ohliterating foreign foe, but are de-

EGGS.-I have purchased eggs in
many places in the city, but found it
impossible to receive strictly fresh
eggs or eggs fit to eat, such as they
advertise at 1926 cents per dozen in
sealed cartoons. One does not know
whether they are paying for the seal
or the eggs.
Where are the eggs inspected?
They must be out on a vacation or
perhaps they are out hunting up a
few fresh eggs to benefit their own
stomach. The city had better save
that money and allow the housewives
# Chicago to do their own inspecting.
In my opinion these eggs ought to be
named germ inoculators or dynamite
sticks, for the minute they come to
boil they explode. That is a sure in
dication of their age. My advice to
the public is buy no eggs and pre-
serve your health. Old eggs are dan
gerous, as one may become afflicted
with typhoid fever or diphtheria, and
they prove very dangerous to any one
who suffers from bronchitis or asth-
