INDICATED THE MULE.

A Legal Case Where the Honor of the
 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"
 1t seems that Dale's hired hand, Parker, after 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 a pile of bricks in the street, capped by 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 damage of $5, charging him with negligence in han ding 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, failing to agree, sent it to the supreme court of the state
 This court held that Lyman could not recover damages unless he proved that the mule wase'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 mule le"-Exchange.

New York. Jan. 26.-Sixty thousand bombs have fallen on Rheims.

 ''If one over1ooks the demolished flying buttresses and surface wounds D said MT. Warren. "the carcass of the cathdral, which is built like a fortress, has resisted nobly. But the three winters which have passed since the burning of the roof threaten abso- lutely to destroy the vaults which are thus without protection from the weather"

PLAZA

"Blind Justice was seen as the main hoto-attraction at the Plaza yesterday and the all-absorbing inter est demanded and accorded the Npiece was to be wondered at. Author and star of the play is Benjamin Christie who will be remembered for his re- markable work in Sealed Orders' and co-starred with him is Katherine Sanders As dramatic accomplish ment the picture may truthfully be said to be without a single flaw for it is built upon a most uncommon plot, is uniquely developed and carries interest in swift gale right up. to the final climax It is in seven acts and will undoubtedly draw immense crowds to the Plaza.
 The Wedding party. a merry musi- cal comedietta with cast of comedians and charming girlies to keep one smil- ing from the rise to the fall of the curtain heads the list of vaudeville at fractions. The idea is novel and is cleverly worked out. The song and dance numbers could not be improved upon and the piece is full to over- flowing with happy laughing mo- ments.

PARIS SHOR7ENS
 MENUS ID FOUR
 SIMPLE COURSES

Paris Jan. 26-France last night
 followed the. example of England and
 Italy in restricting meals in restaur- ants Diners in restaurants are hereafter restricted to oysters or soup. two other dishes, and cheese or dessert. In regard to the two main dishes the bill of fare, instead of 60 or 70 items usually presented, is con- fined to a maximum of nine. The nine consist of one egg dish, two fish, three meat and three vegetable.
 ], The restrictions have been drawn up in conjunction with the represen- tatives of the provision trades and have been taken in good part by both the public and the restaurant pro- prietors. Public opinion generally recognizes the importance of stopping the waste in food.
 The decree was printed in the off, cial journal but does not come into effect until Feb. 1. It is applicable to all establishments where meals are sold to the public, including clubs, hotels, boarding houses and canteens. Managers must submit bills of fare for luncheon to the police authori- ties not later than 10 o'clock in the day and for dinner not later than } o'clock and must hang up a copy of the regulations in conspicuous place.
 e The restrictions include an abso- iute prohibition of buildings and an order to economize flour, milk, eggs sugar and vegetables. Salads count as courses unless served on the same plate with meats. Albert Claveille, under secretary for national subsis- tence, said in regard to the de- cree:
 { we have got to think of the fu- ture. The food situation is rot grave at present, but importations may be subject to delay and our home pro- duction may meet unforeseen acci- dents It is a question of holding out. That is why we are taking at once precautions which, without in commoding the public, win enable us to realize appreciable economy"

Who Owns the Falkland lsIands7

Who Owns the Falkland Islands7
 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 sand. 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 a proposal a few years ago. to run a line of Argentine ships to the islands.

DUTCH FRIENDLY IN ATTITUDE ON
 WILSON'S NOTE
Chamber of Deputies Mem bers Advocates Bryan
 Treaty Forms.

The Hague, Jan. 26 The Dutch to reproducing American and Euro pean comment on President Wilson's speech. The Nieuwe Courant sees in the speech a hint from the president of America to the belligerents. The paper speaks of the cordiality of Pres ident Wilson's relations with Argen- tine, Brazil and Chile.
 The Rotterdam Maasbode expects no immediate practical results from the message, but says that its signifi- canoe should not be under estimated in increasing the size and brightness of the glimmer of peace toward Whic}. all the belligerents are more strongly and irresistably attracted.
 The Amsterdam Telegraaf asks how President Wilson proposes to per- suade Germany and Austria to restore territories belonging to other nation alities seized in previous wars. It says the procedure to arrive at dur able peace by chastisement of the. dis turbers of peace is even now in ope~ ration and that the least that the pres ident can do, if he does not want to choose the side of the police, is to ab- stain from interfering which can only hinder the police in the execution of their duty.
 In the chamber of deputies the lib- eral deputy Dreeselhuys pleaded for participation in the enforce ment of peace and in the guarantees as expounded in President Wilson's message and advocated the principles of the Bryan arbitration treaties. Lib- eral Deputy Beaufort believed such treaties would prevent nations from being rushed into war by their govern ments. Deputy Limburg. democrat, thought the. aims of the league to en- force peace lwere untimely.

WHERE MANKIND WAS REBORN
The Story of Florence Epitomizss the
 Story of Humanity.


 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, So profoundly penetrating to the springs of human purpose, that 1t 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 peopled by men who manufactured the necessaries of life, by merchants, spec ulators, bankers, tradesmen, artisans, handicraftsmen of every type. Busi- nessJ work, was 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 a 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 of these mental giants Florence was re- created and learned to view life from within instead of superfcially. She learned that the individual is the soul of the state and that the state can succeed only when it is true to the best interests of it's individuals.-A.S s. Riggs in National Geographic Magazine.
