Elixir of Youth
Found in Chicago

please" he asked them. Blerndt
started to explain that transportation
in this City of the Horn may be pur-
chased, theoretically, at a nickel a ride
and, If one is travelling in the sub
urbs outside the precincts of the city
hall, at cents. He meant to follow
up this information with remark that
the old mans two-blt demand was a
bit exorbitant. He was interrupted,
however, by citizen who burst from
the corner saloon.
He Sees a Star.
"You old rascal, 1 just gave you
carfare," shouted the man.
"Aha," quoth Blerndt, "come with
me-"
He exhibited his star. One casual
glance at the glittering elixir worked
a marvellous transformation. 1t pene-
trated the ancient's system instanter
and invested his feet with zest for
voyage.
The next instant Shebec was ten
yards away. The instant after that
he was scarcely discernible for dust.
"Holy hasteW exclaimed Bierndt.
"That guys exceeding the speed limit.
What he needs is a pair Of brakes"
The detectives jumped into their
flivver and tore after the vanishing
Shebec. About block ahead was a
street car, travelling at the rate of
numerous miles per hour. It saw
the ancient chasing 1t and tried to get
away.
"Too burned Slow"
No usel With an easy leap Shebec
had achieved the step. Then he
looked behind him and saw that the
police fiivver was making better time
than the street car.
you're too burned slow" said he TO
the conductor-and off he jumped. The
particular section Of the metropolis
into which the ancient leaped was a
bit populated. The abundant citizenry
lmpeded his progress and made
straight running impossible. In the
zIgzagging which ensued the flivver
had time to catch up and Shebec was
apprehended. In his pockets were
found twenty 81 bills and about So in
coins.
u think I'll enter that bird In the
Indianapolis sweepstakes next year."
said Bierndt at the station. 'He runs
without gas and never has tire
trouble. He's the fastest thing l ever

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF MONEY!

wv HEN it comes to matter of
w money the oracles seem to dis
pute over "flthy lucrep just as ordi-
nary mortals are apt to do. Some of
them say that to dream of finding mon
ey is bad sign, indicating losses !;
and dreaming of losing money is a,
good sign, indicating gain; probably
working on the dreams go. by con-
traries" hypothesis. But the best and
most eminent authorities do not agree
to this. Some of them admit that to
dream of finding, money signifies wor-
ries, but declare that out of 3these tenn
porary worries great good win come !;
while others content themselves with
the statement that to dream of finding
money is lucky. All agree that to
dream of losing money is sign of
good business, though one authority
darkly hints that you may have spat
with your wife-if you have one-after
such dream. As to dreaming of saw
ing money, there are two schools-the
optimists and the pessimists. The op-
timists declare that to dream that YOU
are saving up money means that you
will have comfort and plenty, while
the pessimists think it portends losses.
The weight of opinion seems to be on
the side of the optimists. If you dream
that you are swallowing money look
out for yourself; for if you don't you
will become SO penurious and money
grabbing that you will almost, if not
quite, commit fraud to get it. SO if
you get this warning loosen up the
purse-strings. If you dream of count
ing money you are liable to have a dis
pute over a bill. In effect it seems
lucky to dream about money, but you
are warned not to be too much Of
millionaire in your dreams, fol. if you
are too disgracefully rich in Dream
land your fortune will be only moder-
ate in real life.

The Law Says


pendent upon the occurrence or non
occurrence of some stated event.
An entire contract is one in which
the consideration is met by the terms
Of The contract susceptible Of divis-
ion A divisible contract is one which
by its terms the consideration is di-
vided or is susceptible of division.
For instance, if Jim labors for another
as cook and waiter for $50 month,
the contract is entire, but if by its
terms the contract was that as cook
Jim was to get $50 and as waiter $40
a month, the contract is dlyisible
this is to say the consideration for
each service contracted for is divis-
ible from the other by the terms OF
the contract itself
A valid contract is, of course, one
wherein all the essentials prescribed
by the law; that is, as to parties, con
sideration, legality Of subject matter
and Of purpose are complete.
Void agreements are those when
lack some one or more Of the legal
essentials Of a valid contract. The
courts will therefore give such con
tracts no judicial recognition-except
to refuse enforcement
Contracts which, while complying
fully with the requirements of the
law as to substance, have an element
therein which gives legal grounds for
avoiding it at the option Of one or
more of the parties thereto. Con
tracts Of minors and those obtained
by fraud, duress, etc, are illustrations
Of this class.

Mid the great an the grand,
In time when his hair
Wasn't gray
He was commonly known
BY a fancier brand
In a city back there,
So they say.
But it's Jim, only Jim,

When you happen to bring

Fer the man is the thing,
Not the name.

CONTRACTS
By Henry c. Lewis

Executed-An executed contract is
one where the conditions on both
sides have been fulfilled, and there
remains nothing to be done under the
contract. An executed contract is
therefore a completed contract. 1t is
performed. and all obligations there
under are discharged.
Exeeutory-An executory contract
is a contract wherein that which is to
be done is to be done in the future at
some stated date. or within a certain
time. In such contracts the obliga-
tons Of the contract remain in fun
force upon all the parties until the
undertaking is completed.
Partly executed and partly execu-
tory contracts where one party has
performed the obligations thereby i'm
posed upon him, lat something re-
mains to be done on the part of the
other party Until all the parties
have completed their obligations the
contract is not fully executed, These
are sometimes termed unilaterial con
tracts.
A contract, the obligation of which
is not dependent upon, or determined
by the occurrence or non-occurrence
of some stated event, but which goes
into effect Immediately, is called an
absolute contract
A conditional contract is the con
