York Case

The motion of the plaintiff is over
Willie Guilbault VS.. Joseph Marcoux,
suit for alienation Of affections.
The rescript per curiam is as fol-
lows:
Action for criminal conversation
and alienation of wife's affections,
before the law court upon general
motion. and motion for new trial on
ground of newly discovered evidence,
filed by the plaintiff.
The general motion must be over
ruled. The only evidence tending to
show criminal relations was the tes-
tkmony of one Arthur Newn, a motel
keeper in Sherbrooke, Province of
Quebec, who identified the defendant
and Mrs. Guilbault as persons who
Blouin and wife, Laconia, New
hampshire" and occupied a room
there together on the night Of July
70, 1920. The probative force of
his testimony depends entirety upon
the certainty of the Identification. 1t
is apparent that the jury discredited
, the testimony of Newn and refused
to accept his identification of the
parties. The court will not reverse
this finding, based on the weight
to be given to Newn's testimony, in
the light Of the testimony of both
! alleged participants. It cannot be
said to be Enthusiastically wroIg.
Upon the entire record the plaintiff
fails to sustain the burden of proof
. of showing that the verdict is wrong.
Harvey VS.. Donnell 107 Maine 541.
TO the evidence claimed to be
newly discovered. taken in support
of the motion for a new trial, we
must apply the rule stated IN Par
sons VS.. L. j. & b. st. Ry. SO Maine

lowed. Mitchell VS.. Emmons 1O4
Maine 81. Drew VS.. Shannon 105
Maine 562. Higgins VS.. Portland r.
r. Co. 106 Maine 80. Having in
mind that the evidence Of criminal
relations depends entirely upon iden-
LITIGATION made by Newn, the hotel
keeper at Sherbrooke, it does lot
seem to the court probable that on
a new trial, with the additional evil
! dence, the result would be changed.
The testimony Of Belanger as to the
time table OF trains between ST. Hen
ry, Sherbrooke and Boston, if mate
| rial, was available at the trial; he
was present and had the knowledge
at that time. to which he later testi-
fed. This evidence could not have
keen easily procured at the time.
The remainder of his testimony,
and the testimony of Fortier and of
Lageux, tends to discredit the testi-
mony of tie witness, Laliberte. So
contradict the testimony of the de-
PENDANT and his daughter, as to the
day when he arrived in Boston en-
his return to Biddeford. The testi-
mony of these witnesses may he true

the correctness of the date given by

corroborate or render more probable
Newn's identification. 1t simply adds

TOOK THE KISS SERIOUSLY
According to French Scientist, the Ro-
mans Had Three Distinct Ways
of Specifying 1t.

Dr. Emile Malespine, a scientist Of
physiological subjects to leading
French periodicals, has written an ar.
ticle for the Forum in which he traces
the development of the kiss as social
custom from earliest history.
"The first manifestations Of the kiss
encountered in literature" says Doc
tor Malespine, "are those which are
furthest removed from the kiss Of
homage, appear rather as ceremonieSs
than as natural and spontaneous e1.
pressions Of sentiment. The Bible
shows US pagans kissing their idols.
The Greeks and Romans had special
generation for statues; there was at
Agrigenta, according to Cicero, a mar
velous statue of Hercules, of which
the lips and the chin were completely
worn away by the devotions Of the
faithful.
"The Romans, as well as the Greeks,
knew the kiss in all its projections.
Their physiological wealth in this re-
gard, is an added proof. Without
counting the diminutives, they had
three words specifying the kiss: The
osculum corresponds to what we
should call the kiss Of friendship
Of relatives, and of husband and wifes
finally, the savium applied to the
kisses Of lovers"

GREAT GAME, is ADVERTISING
Has Developed Until Today II Calls
for the Services Of Trained
Experts.

Advertising is game. Business Is
its stake. No other game has greater
zest or importance. Too many business
men play it carelessly.
Competition Is the great instructor.
Run your eyes over the advertise
ments Of today and you will find them
showing a skill and ingenuity well
deserving the name of art. The titles
read like news heads and have the
appeal Of news. The copy Is terse and
readable. 1t tells people Enthusiastically
how they can economize; where they
can buy the best goods for the least
money and with the least inconven-
fence to themselves. Everyone wants
to economic now. The advertisement
which does not promise economy might
as well not be written.
We see judicious use Of space and
appropriateness of display that makes
each modern good advertisement a
classic. If one should compare them
with those that were set few years
ago he would be surprised at the i'm
provement.
And yet there are slovenly advertise
ments still, advertisements which
merely take room and exhibit the
backwardness Of those who pay for
them.
The best skill in any game is only
attained by trained experts. Others
may have good ideas and flashes OF
luck. But only the expert knows how
to use good ideas for the maximum Of
result without relying on luck.-New
