CAN'T DELIVER BOOZE
IN TOWN THAT is DRY

Hartford, Dec. 20-It seems to be
more clearly settled now than it had
been that no person has a right to
deliver liquor in a nO-license town.
The disposition Of the case against
Sam Dunn of this city, in the superior
criminal court yesterday, where Judge
James H. Webb presided, appears to
have settled a question which was in
doubt Dunn had claimed the right
to operate under one statute, but
another statute was brought forward
by States Attorney Hugh M. Aleorn
which removed the right, and it was
under this latter statute that Dunn
was arrested.
Dunn is not engaged in the sale
of liquor. He is the proprietor of
Dunn's Express, which had operated
between this city and Simsbury,
where Dunn lived. Simsbury voted
no-license in the October election and
beginning with November the licenses
which had been in force at the time
the vote was taken expired. Early in

ed with the illegal sales Of liquor in

a justice of the peace and he was
fined $40 under each of 20 counts,
with costs. He took an appeal to the

fore Judge Webb and the jury on
the remaining counts.
The trial was set for yesterday, but

Qualities That Make Life Joy For
Their Possessor.
We have noticed the happiest man
many time. He works for his living,
and he gets good one. One thing we
notice is he is a man Of fne habfs;
doesn't sQuander cent on liquor. to-
bacco or betting. He saves his money
and is getting ready to buy some prop
erty He loves his home. plays with
the children. reads good books and
keeps company with his wife. Because
Of his good habits he saves little
which will give him a chance to make
an Investment.
And then there is another thing-he
is reliable man. He does good work.
He will not SMOOTH over bad work. He
is honest in whatever he does. Every
dollar he gets represents just that
much OF honest labor, 1t 8 this, large
ly, that makes him prosperous and
happy.
Water keeps its own level, and so
do conduct and character and pros

will the consequences be. He cannot
be one thing and his experience anoth-

and happy, but it viii not be for long
