bites a man and he sues you for dam

anything in such case if you have a
bright, intelligent hired girl to assist
you. :

If an acquaintance Of yours buys
a horse and afterward invites you
over to look at his purchase and you
discover wind-galls, spavins, blindness
and two or three other ailments, he
cannot sue you for assault in case
you call him dmn fool.
In selling or purchasing land you
need not describe in the deed any
swamps above an acre in extent nor
specify that here are more wood
chucks than trees growing about the
land. nor is it necessary to state that
the only crop ever grown upon it
was a bountiful yield,
. If you have had quarrel with
neighbor and have gone around NUT
tring threats that you would do this
and that and he is found dead in the
barnyard, you are lible to arrest on
the charge of murder. Do not lose
your head, but with a little trouble
you can prove that he was kicked
over the heart by his cow while he
was milking her.
If you own house and lot and
there is a sidewalk in front of them
with hole in it, and if a pedestrian
steps into that hole and breaks his
leg, you can or cannot be held for
damages. If you have pull with the
alderman of your ward a case against
you will never be tried; if you don't
have pull it will probably take your
last greenback to square up the affair.
If there is an apple tree on your
land, some of the lin bs of which ex-
tend over the line and bear fruit
which your neighbor claims, don't
jump in and raise row until you've
had time to thing it over. You own
the tree all right, but the limbs have
trespassed on the other mans prop
erty. Your tree grew the apples, but
the air on his side helped to ripen
them. He owns the air above his
ground, just the same as you own
the air above your ground, and if you

be settled for ten years. The better
way for you to do is to shoot any of
his hens which come trespasslng on
your side of the line.

In bold black type appears q "Peti-

the Independence of Ireland" The
president and congress should insist
that England grant Ireland complete
national independence, states this petit
ton.
Batting the lion is only an incident,
however. Shifting Uncle Sam seem to
be a sport even more to the liking of
the editors Of the "Irish World" Has
LaFollette or some other preacher of
treason given a yawp calculated to en-
barrass the president in our war against

Here is a double headeY-that is, an
attack which strikes both England and
America at the same time:
E'The American fleet, under a Cana
dian-born Admiral, is guarding the
shores Of Ireland, that is to say, holding
them for England. This admiral is the
person who, years ago, declared that
Americas last dollar and last al
would be used for England's defense.
At the time most people took this TO
be an ebullition due to the combination
of his Canadian birth and English wine.
1t would seem now as though he merely
spoke a bit carly.
"Sims guarding the Irish coast at a
time when ireland is practically in full
revolt against England, seems sinister.
It throws a curious side light on the
war for small nations. Are we in the
war to hold ireland under English rules
