PERSONAL LIBERTY.

There is nothing more curious than
this: That the one boon in life
that each of US ctaves above all
other blessings is personal liberty.
yet the one thing that we are most
loath to accord to others is this
same personal liberty that we desire
so ardently for ourselves.
Riches. success. love. they are

vidually choose to crafty our in
dividual whims and taste? What a
mockery the plaudits OF the world
II some tyrant behind the scene is
crushing all the joy out Of existence
for US. What sweetness is there
in love that binds US hand and foot
with a thousand silken letters!
We all know this. We have all

policy the selection Of the first

The league again heartily
approves what is recommend
ed by President Harding, that
these important positions be
promptly brought within the
competitive classified service
by act OF congress. Until such
action is taken and the neces-
sity Of confirmation by the SEN

cannot fail to be friction be-
tween the executive and the

one hand. and the senators and

other. Such legislation is ready
and the league will urge its
passage in the present session

The law of bribery was stated thus: If a man bear witness in case for gain or money he shall himself bear the penalty imposed in the case Breaking into mud brick houses was punishable by deaeh.

'Go easy, friend" Golf said very complacently. There's no use in getting sore. I want the coal. that's all. Ii can't get it by fair means, I'll get it in another way Oh, I don't mind telling you; one mans oath is as good in court as another mans. If you don't take me up at ten thousand, I'll give you so much trouble that you'll be glad to sell it to me later for half that amount. The Balls think they own big interest in that coal There's a lot of them, too, and they can keep you from working the mine. We'll, l can't waste time in dickering with you. What do you say?n

 'The law-now don't go and fool yourself p exclaimed Golf. "The state couldn't afford to keep hundred men here, month in and month out, just to protect your little mine. My patience is about gone, Dale-for the last time, what do you say?"

 The other turned red, then white, then red again. Bill Dale's words had dashed him keenly. His eyes became like hard black beads, and he began to raise the wicked-looking pistol as though he meant to fire.
 Then there was the sound of a breaking twig behind, him, and a voice drawled out:
 "Drap it, Mister-drap the funny little gun, or the middle O Tarment is yore potion right now!'
 It was the moonshiner By Heck, and his rifle was leveled. Golf dropped the pistol Heck grinned, advanced slowly, took up the weapon that the hillfolk call a towards gun" and tossed it into the river.
 Now git-cut the mustard-light a rag away from here,' he ordered, "afore let Bill Dale loose on vel"
 Golf went away rapidly.
