Father Argued Before Judge Case.

At one time, when the late William $. Case, then superior court judge, sat with the supreme court of errors in the place of justice who was ab- sent, his father, the late William c. Case. one of the most distinguished lawyers of the state, made his last ap- pearance before the supreme court and made an argument before that tribunal The son listened to the arguments of his father and passed on them.
 Before the court opened, Judge Case notified the other justices that a case in which his father was interested was on the docket and that there might be 3 question of prepriety in his hearing it. The other justices told him that there was no impropriety in his sit ting on case in which his father ap- peared, as counsel. It was not until Judge Case had advised with his col leagues on the bench that he consent ed to sit with them on the case.
 The lawyers, with the intention of giving the elder A!r. Case a pleasant surprise, purposely refrained from Ptelling him that his son would be a member of the court. The father was surprised, and pleasantly, too, when the justices entered the court room to see his son among them. He was gratified and he did not succeed in concealing his gratification. The law yers who were in the court were pleas ed that their friendly conspiracy to keep the news of his son having been assigned to take the place of the absent justice had succeeded. When his ia ther died, Judge Case referred to the Incident of the court case, and said It would be to him a pleasant memory

WILL AUCTION AUTOS SEIZED
 IE LIQUOR RUNNING CASES

United States District Judge Edwin s. Thomas, in decision filed with the clerk of the 'court at New Haven on Tuesday, decided that automobiles seized in the transportation of liquor in violation of the national prohibition law may be sold by the government regardless of whether these cars were purchased under conditional bills of sale and on which the final payments had not been made. The decision is far reaching, and under it between 800 and 409 automobiles will be sold at auction by the government.
 The case on which the decision was made was-that of the United States against The Commercial Investment Trust, a motor truck having been pur- chased on conditional bill of sal, and on which there yet remained eonsid- erable unpaid balance. The vendor of the truck maintained that title in the machine remained with the company, and as the company had no way of Knowing the truck was being used in violation of the,law, the company could not be held responsible. The govern ment's contention was that the auto mobiles should be sold, the equity held | in them by the purchasers diverted to the government, and the vendor paid to the amount due under the contract of sale. The first hearings on the disposition of the automobiles will be at Hartford on March 21. Since thesNars have beer
 seized by government agents, some oi
 them a year ago, the machines have
 been stored in garages pending thu

 Over Rheumatism


 Mir. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many. times this terrible disease left him helpless and una ble to work.
 He finally decided. after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind, he consulted Iphysieians. made experiments and final ly compounded prescription that quickly and completely banisEed every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took it. with what might be called marvellous success.

Frempt Answers WlR ErIends.

Your letter of even date received and Hoy often that phrase appears in the correspondence of the modern bus mess man. It shows he promptly cares for his correspondence. His letters are answered without delay. Promptness is a big factor in establishing a frm standing in business
 Yet how many persons show the same degree of promptness in answering tele- phone calls? Naturally when a man puts in call he expects prompt answer. But some men do not answer promptly.
 The average time we wait for Central to say Number Please" is less than five seconds. Oh, of course, you have waited longer. But hold stop watch on Gen. tral for ten or twenty calls and see if the average time for her answer isn't less than five seconds.
 Prompt answers to telephone calls would do as much to speed up telephone service as any other good rule for the use of this indispensable instrument.

"Chain Letter Appears in Norwich

One of the clergymen of the city has warned his congregation this week against the old so-called chain letter '' copies of which have been making their appearance here lately.
 The advice. is to pay no attention to the letter but to burn it and forget all about it. a.- ss [,
 This chain letter asks the recipient to make half a dozen,or mJre copies of 1t and send them to as many friends. The plea is made the; chain should not. be broken and that some great benefit Eill come by needing the request to keep the chain going, while something direful may happen to anyone who breaks the chain.
 The letter has itx effect upon the timid or ignorant, but 'the best thing to do with it is to forget all about 1t.
