H. Murphy and grand son, Roy Holth,

It would no doubt be hard to find a
town or community in the nation TO-
day that hasn't at least a few copper
heads. By their own tongue they
have branded themselves. Every man
has a right to his own opinion, but
when the country in which he lives is
at war, he has a right to express that
opinion only when it does not express
a sentiment Of disloyalty. A short
way Of putting it is to say-a cop
perhead should keep his t~raitorous
mouth shut.

WASTED TIME IN COURT.


Professor Higgins tells how waste Of
time is avoided In English courts and
suggests that the same practice ought
to be adopted in American courts. 1t
is done by leading questions" CT
which the following is an example in
an action for personal injuries, where
the fact OF the injury is admitted, but
the negligent act denied:
"Your name is John Doe, living al
so and so You are painter by trade
and on May /, 1914. you We're on the
Strand opposite the law courts and
saw the accident when the plaintiff
was run over by the defendants bus
and you helped TO pick the plaintiff up
and carry him from the roadway"
To which the witness answers Yes
Now. in an American court the testi-
mony in that one question and answer
would have been the subject of al
least eight distinct questions and eight
distinct answers. and in the hands Of
some lawyers this information would
not have been elected short of twenty
questions. as: State your name to tie
jury" Where do you reside;" What
is your buslness?" Where were you
on May /. 1914. at the hour of so and
so?" State what accident you saw
there, II any?' What did you do
them" And so on. and so on.
American courts are run in as lei
surely manner as II there was nothing
else on hand except the trial of the
particular case at bar, whereas usual
ly the court is weeks often months,
and sometimes a year behind in its
docket.-Kansas City Star,

Timber is classed as hard or soft.
and the main point OF difference be
tween the trees that produce these
classes is that the soft wooded tree
has "needle leaves" slim, narrow and
almost uniform in breadth, while the
hard wood trees have broad leaves
Of various shapes. Again, some soft
wood trees carry cones, such trees be
ing termed conifers. Resin. too. Is
more characteristic Of soft than Of
hard wood. To the class OF soft woods
belong the pines, spruces and frs, and
the most common examples Of these
are yellow pine, white fir, pitch pine
and spruce or red f1r. In the common
er hard woods are oak. beech, mahOg
any. ash. walnut. plane, elm. birch and
ebony.
