INDICATED THE MULE.
A Legal Case Where the Honor of ths
 Animal Was Involved.

A L09aI SaS0 "USrO tuV SbopS' VI s''~
 Animal Was Involved.
 One of the most famous cases re- ported in the Missouri Law Reports Is that of Lyman versus Dale. known as the "celebrated mule case"
 It seems that Dale's hired hand. Parker. after a days work supplying water to a clover huller. was passing through the city of Springfield, riding one mule and leading another. He met Lyman just opposite pile Of bricks in the street, capped by a red lantern. The mule being led became frightened at the bricks and lantern and, jumping aside. broke wheel out of Lyman's buggy.
 This laid the foundation of the case Lyman sued Dale for a damage of So. charging him with negligence in han ,Iling a wild and unruly mule.
 The case was first tried in justice of the peace court at Springfield, Mo-. and was appealed to the circuit court. From there it was taken to the court of appeals, which court. falling to agree. sent 1t to the supreme court or tho state.
 This court held that Lyman could not recover damages unless he proved that the mule was wild and unruly."
 Judge Henry Lamm said that. while the amount involved in the case was small. the value of the case was great for the sake of the doctrine and also because it involved the "hOnor of the Missouri ."-Exchange.

WHERE MANKIND WAS REBORN
fhe stsSy Sf Florence gpItennizss the
 Story of Humanity.

The stsSy Sf Florence EpItennizss the Story of Humanity.
 The story of Florence is the story of humanity; the broad. deep. moving epic of the awakening of man to his own divine power; the story of won' derful self made men who had but one idea in common-the thirst for free ac- tivity of soul
 So the tale of the new birth, the renaissance. is the record of individ- ual spirit so free. so subtle and elastic. ss profoundly penetrating to the springs of human purpose, that it has furnished the motive power of the world ever since. and Florence, as its source and focus. because of the con ditions then obtaining in the city and throughout Italy, was the one spot in the world capable of producing such an epoch making upheaval of human consciousness.
 And all this astonishing genius grew directly out of-business! The city was Deopled by men who manufactured the necessaries of life. by merchants, spec ulators, bankers. tradesmen. artisans. handicraftsmen of every type. Busi ness. work, was a condition of active participation in the life of the state and because they did not work the nobles were debarred from this. It was the burghers. the people. who ruled, and even when evil chance laid the state under the heavy hand Of u despot he was forced to develop his own character to the uttermost, be- cause his rule depended entirely upon
 his capacity as man. The aristoc' racy accordingly was that of intelli-
 gence. of men who became eminent be- cause. first of all. they were the best
 in their own individual work.
 Under the practical Inspiration or these mental giants Florence was re created and learned to view life from i within instead of superfcially. She
 learned that the individual is the soul of the state and that the state can
 succeed only when 1t is true to the best
 interests of its individuals.-A. s. Riggs

Who Owns tho Falkland lsIands

Few people are aware to this day that the Falkland islands are marked in all Argentine maps and geographies IS "unlawfully retained by Great Brit ain" The origin of the dispute was that England after abandoning the islands in 1774 resumed possession in 1929. The Argentine government pro- tested and, as A. Stuart Pennington points out in his book on the country, Is even today careful to do nothing which could even apparently recognize the rights of the present possessors
 It was for that reason that it declined proposal a few years ago to run
 line of Argentine ships to the islands.

 UP 50 PER GENT
GRATIFYING INCREASE FOR 1916
Big Copper Production Responsible Tin Plate Also Has Higher Valua- tiOn and Offers an Opportunity to Seattle Capital.

Figures compiled by J. L. MCPher- Alaska bureau of the Chamber of 1 Commerce and taken from the 1916 | returns of the United States bureau | of foreign and domestic commerce 1 shows an increase of 50 per cent last ! year compared with the business 1 transacted in 1915.
 In 1915 total business valued 't $73,573,384 was transacted with th2 Northern territory, while the figures for 1916 are $110,36S,77S. These to- tals do not include foreign bullion trans-shipped at Skagway. ! Much of the increase is due, accord ing to the compilation of MT. Me Emerson to the activity of the copper industry which showed 1916 iE- crease in the value of production Of $23,200,O0O. 1 MT. McPherson also called attel- ,tion to the increased valuation of tin plate, both in the raw and manufac- itured commodity which shows gain of $95O,OOO over 1915. Commenting ion this item Mir. McPherson contends that it is one of the strongest argu- 'ments in favor of the securing of tin plate manufacturing plants for Seat. tile. The total value of tin importa- ltions into Alaska were valued at f3,- 381,S54, and he maintains that a! of this business should originate ct this port.
 Alaska possesses the only tn ore ldeposits on the North American con ltinent, and these mines are being de- veloped and operated only in small way. This ore is shipped to Seattle and thence clear across the continent for treatment, and then reshipped to Alaska for use in the canning indus try. The salmon can tins packed in Alaska canneries last year if placed lend to end would extend distance of 17,7O7 miles, or over two-thirds Of the circumference of the earth at the equator.
 Another interesting item in the fig ures compiled by MT. McPherson re- Hates to the settlement of 1400 home ,steaders in Alaska recently. While many of these settlers have been sup plying portions of the local markets in the Northern territory, vegetable imports increased to the extent of s2OO,OOO last year. The Alaska en- gineering commission recently pur- Chased 45O tons of potatoes grown in the Matanuska valley.
 In 1916 breadstuffs showed an in creased value of $110,000 woolen goods $2SO,OO0, cloth goods $220,O00 oils and gasoline $370,000. The latter item is not surprising as it is estimat- ed that there are now over 250 auto and motor cars in use in Alaska.
 Silk goods advanced from value iof $17,O0O in 1915 to $63,O0O in 1916, an assured indication of pros porous conditions. This is further emphasized by the increase in the value of watches and jewelry by is15,OOO, confectionery $10,00O, fruits land nuts $23O,OOO and tobaccos and cigars by $160,000.
