EARLY TRADEMARKS.
When First Used They Were Without
 Any Protection In Law.

When First Used They Were Without
 Any Protection In Law.
 The recognition of trademarks by English law may be said to date only from the beginning of the nineteenth century, but the use of trademarks was, of course, of far earlier date.
 So far back as the reign of .Jamcs I. certain clothier applied the mark of another clothier to his own inferior goods, but the reports of the lawsuit which ensued leave it doubtful whether the action was brought by the owner of the mark or by an indignant customer. in which latter case 1t would simply be an ordinary action for fraud.
 In 1742 Lord IIardwicke declared that "every particular trader has some particular mark or stamp" At thc same time his lor1ship refused to grant the protection of the law to the Great Mogul" stamp on cards. He was ap parently under the impression that the legal recognition of trademarks meant the creation of new kind of monop. oly, and he made up his mind to Obvi ate such possibility.
 Lord Eldon. on the other hand. re peatedly granted injunctions to re, strain one trader from frauduIcntly passing off" his goods as those of an other and thus helped to lay founda ton on which the present trademark law has been built up in successive stages. London Standard

Erzerum,

Erzerum, which has suddenly sprung into the notice and interest of the world during the progress of the pres ent Russian campaign in the East, says the Manchester Guardian, has been identified with the Byzantine Theodosi- Opolis, which was fortified outpost of the Grecian empire. It fell to the Sel- juks in the year 1201, and just three centuries later passed to the Turks. It had already on two occasions been in possession of the Russians--in 1S29 when it was captured and held until the peace of Adrianople of that year, and in 1878, when it was restored to the Turks after the treaty of Berlin.
 The normal population of Erzerum amounts to about 43,000, ten or twelve thousand of whom are Armenians and 2,000 Persians. Its public buildings, with the possible exception of one, which dates back eo the beginning of the Seljuk period, are of no particular distinction As in most towns in Turkey, the streets are narrow. crooked, dirty and badly drained and there are few trees in the neighborhood.

GOOD STORIES OF TOM MAR
 SHALL STILL BEING TOLD.
III-Advised Was the Person Who En- gagged in Word Duel With Famous Kentuckian Who FIourished
 "Befoh the Wah."

Of the witty Tom Marshall of Ken days "befoh the wah," anecdotes are still extant. Once tkere had been a disagreement between him and the judge before whom he was making an argument. 'T am not" said Mar shall, "such an ass as your honor here the learned counsel was over- taken by fit of coughing-then he 1 finished his sentence-"seems to think"
 "Mr. Clerk" said the court, "enter fine against MT. Marshall of $10 for an unnecessary interregnum in his sentence" q am short of ready cash this morning." said Tom, twill your honor kindly lend me $10?" "Mr. Clerk" said the judge, you may remit that fine. The state of Kentucky is better able to lose the money than I am."
 On another occasion Tom, indignant at a ruling of the judge, exclaimed: :: "Your honor, Jesus Christ was convict ed on just such rulings of the court that tried him." "Mr. Marshall" said the judge, "you are fined $10 for con- tempt of court" "Your honor," said Tom, q never before knew or heard of anybody being fined for abusing Pom tius Pilate."
 "What time is it, MT. Marshall?" said the judge. q don't know" re- piled Tom. My watch is with my uncle, and if your honor continues to decide against me as you have hith- erto done, it is not likely that I will be able to relieve my uncle of it's cus- tody."
 Miss Breckenridge of Kentucky was a society belle who had a beautiful octoroon girl for maid. She had rooms at the Gait house and one day Tom, meeting the pretty servant girl in hotel hall when no one else was present, engaged her in conversation and ended by giving her a kiss, which was warmly returned. Thereupon Tom, who was always gallant and had Southern gentleman's liking for maids with a dash of color from "Af- ric's sunny fountains" in their veins, gave her what he supposed was a ten-dollar gold piece, but which turned out to be gold medal that had been presented to him by the citizens of Frankfort in recognition of some pub lie service. The girl tried to change the gold medal at the hotel counter, but the clerk took it from her and gave it to her mistress, who ques- toned her and she told the truth as to how she obtained it. Miss Brecken- ridge determined to punish Tom and relating the incident to a bevy of her female friends that evening at a sO- cial function where Marshall was pres ent, surrounded by the hostess and a dozen ladies, approached Tom and rendering him the medal exclaimed, "AIr. Marshall, here is something be- longing to you which I wish to return to you" Tom took the medal with a bow and exclaimed, Miss Brecken- ridge, if I had known it was you l wouldn't have given you cent"

AirFighters

London, Sept. 6, (9:15 p. MA
great crowd gathered today to witness
the funeral of 16 members of the crew
OF the Zeppelin which was brought
down during Saturday nights raid on
England
In view Of protests made against
the burial OF the German airmen with
military honors. a strong force of po-
lice was on duty to maintain order.
Spectators arrived long before noon
and seized on the hill near the en-
trance to the cemetery in the village
of Pitter's Bar, as a point of vantage.
The men were buried in a common
grave and the German officer in a
smaller one.
The funeral procession was severely
simple. The crowd which saw it pass
was unmoved. At the head was a mill
tary lOrry which carried a coffin con-
tanning the body of the Zeppelin COM
mander. Another lorry bore the cof-
fins of the crew. A number OF British
airmen rode IN the procession.
a man in an automobile threw some
thing at the British airmen, but the
| crowd promptly rebuked him. Near
the cemetery a woman threw two eggs.
The body of the German officer was
borne to the grave by six officers of
the royal flying corps. The other cof-
fms were carried by men of the same
corps. The service at the grave side
was an abbreviatiOn OF the ordinary
/ Church of England ceremony, conduct
| ed by army chaplains. The sounding
of taps was the only characteristic of a
military funeral by which the Cere-
mony was marked.
