What lido With
the Left-0vers

Sunday, of course, we had roast
beef, and, being a hungry family,
there wasn't much left for Monday
nights dinner. There was still some
meat, you know, but it was not ex-
actly presentable. So l chopped it
up fine, added a bit Of spaghetti that
] had in the house, mixed in some
stewed tomatoes, and favored the
combination with AL Sauce, which
isn't a Worcestershire, but is just
about the most delicious touch of
inspiration that any dish can enjoy.
l cooked my left-overs in a buttered
covered casserole, in a slow oven,
and when Jim got through with that
dish he said he was going to have
left-overs every night. He says it is
my way of cooking for him, and I
wouldn't have him think anything
else, but really it is Al Sauce.

No sooner did he think of this than
off he started to look for Bob White.
He raced along the old stone wall on
the edge of the Old Orchard and down
in the fartheSt corner, near Johnny
Chuck's house, he found Bob and Mrs

were all huddled together in a little

SUPREME COURT
 UPHOLDS DECISION
Decides That Damages Of S1,OOO
 Be Secured From Republican

Hartford. Jan. 1.-The supreme court of errors, in an opinion made public yesterday, sustained the de- cision of the New Haven county su- periOr court, in the case of Patrick MOynahan against the Waterbury Re- publican, Inc, in which the Republi- can was found guilty of libel against MT. Moynahan. The opinions were all written by Justice Shumway, the other judges concurring.
 The Waterbury Republican ap- pealed from the decision of the trial court in an action by Patrick Moyna- han charging the defendant with libel. The claimed hDclous article was pub lished in the Republican February 8, 1916, and purported to be an inter- view with Ella A. Grimes, a nurse in the Brookside Home, Waterbury, of which the plaintiff was superintendent, and charging the plaintiff with neg feet, misrepresentation of funds, and that he was degraded, unprin cipled and dishonest.
 Two questions were raised by the defendant, as to whether the trial court erred in holding and ruling that the publication was made with express malice, and as to whether the court erred in it's rulings on evidence.
 The higher court found no error in either instance-The claim of the de- fendant that the article was published in good faith and that these matters were proper subjects today before the citizens of Waterbury, was not held to be justification. That there was evidence from which the court could find malice is clear, the opinion says. If nothing more appeared in evidence the caricature published in the de- fendant's newspaper might justify finding of malice. The evidence fully justifies the finding that the state ments of the publication were made recklessly and without sufficient ex-

 and there are others from the South and West who do exactly the same thing, crab on the clerkship, and have some girl in the office, paying her around $S or S10 a week, and taking the rest himself. Understand, the government gives him this money for clerk hire, but nothing doing on the clerkship. He makes a little extra
 on that Of course, you know that the salary is $7,500, and that each Congressman receives $20 a mile going and coming from each session. That helps. And then this Southerner, and there are others, refuse to pay out for 'clerkship hire, and God knows the job is worth it. Wait a minute, now.

Moynahan was appointed superin- tendent of Brookside Home, the city's poor house, by Mayor Martin Scully, and at the time of the trial Miss Grimes, the nurse, made some start ling charges against the institution. An attack then followed on the super intendent. with the result that he brought suit against the Republican. He was given judgment of $1,000 in the superior court but an appeal was taken, the lower courts decision be- ing upheld yesterday.
