"a FITTING HOLE"

Courts and lawyers great stickers for accuracy
OF language, generally using three four words
ing practically the thing, to describe legal trans
actions Yet both courts and lawyers are great sinners
IN the way of assassinating the good old English
language. AS example: the supreme court of Kansas
recently drew nice distinction between the meaning of
the term "boOtegger" and "jointist" 1t solemnly de-
clared from the bench that bootegger" is "a person
who sells intoxicating liquors the sly not from any
particular business location; but carrying his wares in
his bootleg, his pocket in Some fitting hole in the wall"
Passing the matter evidently overlooked by the
august body that person" might be female and that
the lawyers particularly is abandoned in using the
pronoun his" it is suggested that bootegger Garry
ing his wares in fitting hole in the wall" is doing
rather difficult and unusual stunt 1t too bad that the
court did not explain how he accomplished this feat and
whether not the offender also carried of the wall
II ne succeeded in carrying his in fitting hole
without having the surroundings of that hole it
should be made part of the court record of the
many freaks of the freaky sunflower state. Having
drawn the distinction between the booegger and the
oinist nicely it should also have shed the light Of
its combined wisdom the question it has raised as
the characteristics of fitting hole" The decision
coming after the gladstone Christmas time leads
one to suspect the court had been spending the holidays
in investigating both the bootegger and the ontst and
got the place where the bootlegger carried his wares
mixed up with the keyhoes in the doors of the residences
Of it's members getting home from their Investigations
in the early morning after Those who have had exper
ience and have been the patrons of the bootegger
his predecessor the saoonkeeper say that the description
answers perfectly the actions Of the keyhoe such
occasions and that it is really "a fitting hole"

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as serofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved. but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, puifes the blood,
and is so successful that it is Known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hood IS,
and insist on having it.. There is no

Each Store has something about itself that is DIS
ITINCTIVE. So, when first visited your STORE was

Your FELLOW WORKERS, especially the YOUNG
LADIES, are VERY Beautiful SO well dressed so re-

one desires to REMAIN in the STORE just to BROWSE

will allow.
All the aforesaid, which have mentioned applies
EQUALLY to Mr.. ERNEST H. CHOATE and YOUR
SELF although you will have to admit that in the midst
of so much BEAUTY, QUALITY and CLASS one has to
KEEP MOVING in order TO GET ANY WHERE.

announcement about the BUILDING STONES, on which
the STRUCTURE of u. G. SHIPLEY and COMPANY

thought you were talking about THE BUILDING and
you we're going to say, that the FOUNDATION was
made Of OREGON PINE and you we're pleased with the
way 1T HAD LASTED. But you were speaking
FIGURATIVELY like, instead and your thoughts con-
cerning Sincerity Energy Courtesy and Value very
TRUE, though you should have added ADVERTISING
whether it was APPROPRIATE or not. It's always ap-
propriate to mention ADVERTISING.
If you would not think me TOO FORWARD (NO one
ever has) I would like to suggest that SOME DAY in
stead Of an editorial in the box alongside the AD

1000 Convicts Gain
By Courts Decision
Get an Extra Months Commu.
tation a Year by Justice
Tompkins's Ruling

WHITE PLAINS, y. Y, Nov. IA
decision Of great Importance to con-
victs was handed down by Justice
Tompkins, in the Supreme Court to-
day. BY his ruling. prisoners who be-
have themselves can earn four months
commu:ation out Of every twelve. For
wears good behavior has earned for
prisoners a reduction of only three
months out of each twelve. Concretely
the new decision means that a man
sentenced for ten years may be released
in six years and eight months. Under
the old rule he would have to serve
seven years and six months.
The question came up before Justice
Tompkins in special proceedings
brought on behalf of William Roach.
II called for construction Of the
statute governing paroles.
The statute in question states that
prisoners may earn ten days in thirty
for good behavior. Prison officials
have always interpreted this 70 mean
that # a prisoner was good for n
period of thirty days he earned a
credit of ten days off his sentence.
Justice Tompkins rules that 1T means
ten days out of each thirty, rather
than ten days out of each forty.
There arc at present more than 1900
prisoners who will be affected by this
ruling. It also means that many will
be eligible for instant discharge.
