A wart on a child is rarely anything

Three hundred feet down stream a

His frantic mother, who lives close

Legal Day Of Rest.

The New York court of appeals has
given decision sustaining the one
day-rest-in-seven" law that meets the
strong approval of progressively
minded citizens. The following SEN
fences are worth quoting: We have
no power Of decision of the question
whether 1t Is the wisest and best way
to Offset these conditions and to give
employees the protection which they
need. even II we had any doubt on
that subject. Our only inquiry must
be whether the provision on its face
seems reasonable, fair and appropri-
ate, and whether it can fairly be be-
lieved that its natural consequences
will be in the direction of the better
ment of public health and welfare,
and therefore that it is one which the
state for its protection and advantage
may enact and enforce" Chicago Eve

Humorous Childish Errors.

The literary mistakes of children

forth the amazing misinformation that
Dan was a man who was confined in
